They don't pose much of a threat to humans and usually flees when alarmed. Not particularly dangerous to humans.
Because I wanted to know what happened, I looked up her name and apparently the police arrived and arrested the man and nobody was hurt
It never ceases to amaze me the lengths children have gone to throughout history to avoid eating their brussels sprouts!
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.
This is really mild compared to the other things on the list.
I think this was the inspiration for the movie Fire in the SKy.
Yikes. Would not be able to sleep for days if I saw a dead body with eyes open in real life.
An extreme form of body dismorphic disorder, where the affected person believes that some part of their body doesn't belong to them.
Someone forgot to switch off the radio before the Soviet Union fell. Wouldn’t want to see that electric bill.
I’d think presenting the actual living actors alive would be more effective to clear the murder charges…
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 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.
No more belly-rubs until we learn to behave ourselves around company!
And still nobody has ever been able to prove the existence of ghosts...even when they know where they live. Curious.
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 .
You keep using this word "Creepy" I don't think it means what you think it means. Nothing in this was creepy
The 9 year old bride is creepy, but not in a spooky way, but in a call CPS way.
