They don't pose much of a threat to humans and usually flees when alarmed. Not particularly dangerous to humans.

They also display 'burrowing response' where they crawl into confined spaces - looking like someone has concealed a body..

I think I saw a documentary once that covered this case. There also was kind of a mystery around how his body could have decayed/mummified into the state he was found in, because it nowhere near fits the time frame since he was last seen alive/went missing.

Yeah Catholicism can get pretty weird. They probably did this to overturn some of his edicts that had become problematic.

Do yourselves a favor, and do NOT look this up. I'm not sleeping tonight, or any night for that matter.

I wasn't planning on looking it up, but when I saw your comment suddenly I had to. And all I have to say is, let's be insomniacs together!

Typically, this leads to fetal death in utero (they die in the womb) and thanks to ultrasounds, can be detected before that. The child is born without a nose, as you can see, and it's horrifying. This pic is nothing compared to a medical textbook. The real reason med students don't get any sleep...

Saw the warning from first comment above, don't need anymore horrors in this world today or tomorrow.

When I was a kid/teen I used to look through my mum's Mosby's medical dictionary and saw pictures of this and similar conditions. So sad!
Mila Preradović 3 years ago (edited)
Yes, this is actually just sad, so are many other pictures in this article. I'm really hard to scare or creep out, even as a kid when 10yo me watched every single horror movie from the local videostore with literal "meh" (and those were early nineties, so many cult movies!). So when I see something like this I'm just sad for those poor kids.

Our GQP led Supreme Court has decided to force American women to carry these genetically malformed fetuses to term, because the life of the mother is not at risk. REALLY? Is it not kinder to parents AND offspring that we allow women to make their own decisions about what grows inside THEIR BODIES?

Poor kids. Guess we now know where the Cyclops in mythology came from, though I don’t know if any of these kids survive infancy.

1 in 100k makes it sound pretty common, with the amount of people Alice today, that’s a lot of cyclopses

Because when the eyes seperate in early fetal development the face essentially pivots so that the proboscis that becomes the nose is below. Basically the fetus' head is stuck at an earlier developmental stage. They will have a holosphere brain rather than two hemispheres too. This is 100% fatal and a very good reason why a mother who planned and wanted a child may terminate.

Thank god they showed what a normal baby looks like too. I always get so confused as to what normal baby faces look like.

It's called Holoprosencephaly. The issue is that the neural tube doesn't divide adequately and the brain doesn't get divided in hemispheres, also leading to other malformations like this one. While the cause is not known, a mutation of Sonic Hedgehog (real name) protein can cause it.

So... There are approximately 10,687 life births per day in the U.S., which means there should be one case of cyclopia every ten days if one believes the above caption ("... 1 in 100,000 newborns.").

I can't stand watching any TV show with a laugh track anymore. Everybody loves Raymond ruined me. Ray Romano is so not funny and the laugh track just makes it worse. I was literally counting the seconds between LOLs and bored as hell.

These don't necessarily belong to children. It's more likely that they belonged to the Liquidators who went in after the area was evacuated. Don't forget, the Soviet government didn't even tell the people of Prypiat and the surrounding areas about the severity of the incident, and when they did evacuate, the people were encouraged to believe it was for 3 days. Almost no precautions were taken with the safety of the public until then. The gas masks were likely abandoned by the Liquidators when they were released from duty, they could have been using the school as a base of operations. They left most of the equipment behind, from gas masks to clothing to the fire engines and helicopters because they were too radioactive to take from there.

The strangest thing about this is that while premature burials were extremely rare, the fear of them was not. It was something close to mass hysterics at the time, helped by stories and novels like Edgar Allan Poe's "Buried Alive" and similar. Doctors at the time sometimes carried a "heart knife": If they pronounced someone dead, they afterwards stabbed him to the heart to make sure he did not wake up in the grave.

5 year old daughter to sleep and I had to be up early for work. She was asleep in 20 minutes and told me the next morning that an old lady sat on her bed with her and sang until she fell asleep. Just be respectful .

I'm surprised I never see Dr. Carl Von Cosel in these "Creepy" BP posts. He was in love with a woman, Elena Milagros de Hoyos, who had died of tuberculosis. He dug up her grave, took her corpse to his home and lived with her as his lover for 7 years. I watched a documentary about it and some of the things he did to the body were...well, definitely signs of his mental issues. Pretty interesting. Look it up

I think Sandby Borg belongs here. "Such an aura of horror clung to the site that when archaeologists went in to uncover the gruesome facts, local people warned them they should keep well away from the green mound within the low stone wall." Now, what happened at that place that made even looters stay away, and 1500(!) years later, locals still warns about it??? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/apr/25/swedish-archaeologists-uncover-brutal-5th-century-massacre And yeah... one of the bodies had sheep teeths stuffed into his mouth... https://youtu.be/yKG1BM7WVBY?feature=shared
