The world can be a scary place. That’s why learning more about the darker side of humanity and history can be educational. Other times, it can satisfy our (in some cases morbid) curiosity. So if you're a fan of mysteries and the unknown, you've come to the right place.
Once again, we're featuring the Creepy.org X account here on Bored Panda. It's a place to explore the darker corners of the world. The page features "weird videos, historical oddities and unexplained mysteries." So scroll down and see the newest additions from them. That is, if you dare!
Bored Panda sought out the creators of a podcast about strange, bizarre and unexpected phenomena. Kat and Jethro Gilligan Toth host The Box of Oddities show and are the recipients of the Webby Award. We had a chat with them about what makes people interested in the mysterious and the unknown. They also told us about their research process and shared their favorite stories from the podcast. Read our interview with Kat and Jethro below!

F**k fundamentalists of every religion on Earth. They are the best proof God does not exist. If there were a god, s/he would not let these monsters speak in his/her name.
Never before have I wondered what Parkinson's smells like... but now I do.
did a bit of googling and apparently the sister that was pronounced dead had an epileptic seizure and was incorrectly pronounced dead. she was buried the following morning. there is a snopes page about it and its been unproven as to whether the story is true or not.
I could be in Alaska in a blizzard and a mosquito would find me and attack.
I wonder if this means they could grow these kinds of mushrooms to absorb radiation when needed
This looks like a scene from a kids movie or TV show, I can’t believe this is actually real
I'll get downvoted, but he was an idiot for going out there without proper preparation. Darwin Award
I went to a similar place, and I hated it. Spent just over 5 minutes in there before it was too much.
Folks, don't believe everything right away, because the German is far too modern for the 17th century...the oldest still legible engraving dates from 1616, but this engraving is from the 20th century...this »hunger stone« is located in the town of Děčín in the Czech Republic...
Frogs also push down their eyes to help them swallow, if you want another creepy frog eyes fact.
I feel like that’s a pretty decent trade, just stay away from boats
I HAD to look this up because having cared for patients with some pretty rare things happening to them I couldn’t resist. I went to the NIH site. Best one to go to for anything medical. Type I is found mostly in men of Mediterranean heritage and history of high alcohol consumption. It’s mostly located in the areas you see on this man. Of course always exceptions. Type II occurs in men and women it can be anywhere on the body. High alcohol consumption is not a factor. The most effective treatment with minimal recurrence is to just go in and remove all the fatty tissue and remove loose skin so the neck appears normal. It’s a good day. We all learned something.
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) occurs within the brain. This typically causes increased pressure inside the skull. Older people may have headaches, double vision, poor balance, urinary incontinence, personality changes, or mental impairment. In babies, it may be seen as a rapid increase in head size. Other symptoms may include vomiting, sleepiness, seizures, and downward pointing of the eyes. (wikipedia)
People that were believed to be vampires were executed with an iron nail through the head. The dead that were believed to be victim of a vampire had the same treatment in case they became vampires too. This was done in the coffin before placing the lid on top and the nail went into the ground to hold them there and not allow them to get free by anchoring them to the earth
The teacher at a first aid course I attended told us that she once saw someone spasm like that because of Tetanus. It was the most horrific thing she had ever seen, and she said if we could only remember one single thing from the course it should be getting the Tetanus vaccine.
Reminds me of when I went to the Titanic exhibition at the museum in Melbourne (awesome museum, by the way). At the door you got a card assigning you the identity of one of the real life passengers, and at the end you found out whether your person survived the wreck. I got a young woman who was on her way to do missionary work. She didn't make it.
The first guy looks like he's thinking "yeah, and I'd do it again, a******s".
So in other words, they tormented a girl with mental issues until her heart gave out, and potentially even set her on fire.
