50 Interesting But Pretty Disturbing Things, As Shared In This Online Community
Nothing gives our brains the same kind of fireworks as watching creepy things. And if you’re not one of the horror aficionados it may be hard to understand the point of the thrill that horror gives.
But scientists say that the fright horror gives us while watching things like American Horror Story and The Walking Dead releases adrenaline, resulting in heightened sensations and surging energy. So biochemistry is to blame. And that thrill is so powerful, it’s often hard to look away.
This corner of Reddit known as “Interesting But Creepy” is a real treat for not just horror fans, but those who appreciate the darker side of our universe. The posts shared on the community range from interestingly weird to curiously macabre and they will surely give your heart rate the exercise it deserves! Psst! More creepy goodness awaits in our previous feature right here.

With all the weird things that can happen in nature, stuff that most people are not aware of, is it a surprise people think aliens?
Now if you weren’t knowledgeable about weather ect you might think the aliens were here for fisticuffs on a grand scale lol
Highly unlikely as they are extremely brief phenomena. You pretty much need a high speed, specialized camera to capture them. They are much, much briefer than lightning bolt flashes, and considerably dimmer too.

Load More Replies...To find out why exactly so many of us are drawn to creepy things, from pictures to stories, both fictional and real, we spoke with Michael Grant Kellermeyer, the editor in chief of Oldstyle Tales Press, an independent publisher based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The publishing house specializes in critical, annotated and illustrated editions of classic ghost stories, weird fiction, and gothic horror from the Classical Era of Supernatural Fiction (1795 - 1935).
According to Kellermeyer, human beings, especially in today's culture, have a love-hate relationship with mortality. “In one sense, Death and the dark side of life are our greatest enemies, but in another sense, it makes life delicious and potent: we are drawn to brushing elbows with death (either in reality - say, by skydiving or doing extreme sports - or by proxy - say, by reading or watching media about people who work in dangerous jobs or who survived disasters).”
Scientist Holding A Basketball Covered With Vantablack, The World's Blackest Substance
Because it reflects very little light, so you cannot see the edges
Load More Replies...An artist bought the rights to the color vantablack, iirc. So another artist made the world’s pinkest pink and made it available to everyone except him.
Anish Kapoor is the artist, he got someone to buy the pink for him, dipped his finger in it, and gave the middle finger to the people who made the pinkest pink. (he's a c**t is Anish Kapoor, and tbh, his art/sculptures are utter shite) Thankfully, there are alternatives to vantablack, and MIT have created a black that is reportedly 10 TIMES darker than vantablack o.o
Load More Replies...That looks like the holes bugs bunny would stick on surfaces and then cross into!!
yes. "Vantablack is made from carbon nanotubes, which are tiny carbon cylinders with walls as thin as one atom. These structures absorb any light that touches the surface by trapping the photons until they are almost completely absorbed. This makes it confusing to look at, flattening 3D objects as flat, empty black blobs."

Load More Replies...He explained further: “While in previous generations, death was ever-present - certainly not a good thing - 21st-century Westerners are much less likely to have ever seen a dead body (even the majority of funerals either tend to be cremations or closed-casket), so as much as we do not long for more death in our worlds, we do certainly have an obsession with this part of our existence which we are all fated to encounter, but which is so tidily hidden from us.”

Spanish Dancer Sea Slug Spotted In Australia
This is Beautiful. I looked it up: Reaching sizes of at least 16 inches (40 cm), the Spanish dancer is the largest nudibranch and one of the largest sea slugs on the planet. Like most nudibranchs, the Spanish dancer is brightly colored and does not blend in well with its surroundings. This bright coloration, similar to that of the poison dart frogs and many other species, serves as a warning to potential predators that the Spanish dancer does not taste good and may even make a predator sick. https://oceana.org/marine-life/spanish-dancer/#:~:text=Reaching%20sizes%20of%20at%20least,in%20well%20with%20its%20surroundings.
And my favorite bit about them... "Rogue is a female superhero from the comic series X-Men. She can absorb superpowers from others just by touching them. Similarly, the Spanish Dancer eats marine sponges and toxic jellyfish for dinner. Then she assimilates the poisons for her own defense."
Load More Replies...That looks the space ameoba from that one Star Trek The Original Series episode.
Kellermeyer believes that as a result, “psychoanalytically, we try to touch hands with this stranger who is destined to make our acquaintance by poring over true crime podcasts, horror movies, and spooky artwork.”
The editor in chief added that “we love horror (which is by definition an artform concerned with the gradual approach of death, whether natural or supernatural) because it allows us to vicariously experience something that is so taboo in our culture, but which we all - at the final moment of our life - are destined to encounter.”

For any human to feel so disenfranchised by their own body, that they feel they must continually make changes to it, until there's no longer any resemblance of who they were, must have been painful beyond understanding.
Load More Replies...This was is truly sad. He was so handsome when he was younger. I feel like he was a true case of severe body dysmorphic disorder.
Well he had issues with Vitiligo. He had white pigment free blotches on his face and resorted to plastic surgery/bleaching. I feel like people don't know this.
Load More Replies...This made me laugh...thank you! I read that in his voice too
Load More Replies...I think, it's hard to predict how vitiligo would have affected him without the things he probably had done to mask it, like make up/procedures? It's easier to age up a person from an older photos, bonestructure/feature wise, than take into concern a progressing skin disease. It would be a shot in the dark from the person behind the ageprogressed picture? Just my thoughts..
Load More Replies...I guess I just can't understand why seemingly nice looking people go to such extremes with plastic surgery. Body dysmorphia is a sad condition to have I think.
guys he had vitiligo and patients with that bleached their skin so that the color is even throughout the body :))
also he hated his nose because his father made fun of it through his childhood so he naturally became insecure
Load More Replies...Kellermeyer argues that a good, creepy story should leave a great deal to the imagination and should focus on insinuations which leave the imagination primed but wanting more.
So he gave one such example: “The great British horror writer M. R. James was a master of the chilling tease, knowing just what to expose in order to pique curiosity, but holding back enough that we can't get a good look. In a story called ‘Wailing Well,’ he has a shepherd describe a family of zombie-like ghosts to a group of boys: ‘Rags and bones, young gentlemen: all four of 'em: flutterin' rags and whity bones. It seemed to me as if I could hear 'em clackin' as they got along. Very slow they went, and lookin' from side to side.’ One of the boys asks what their faces looked like: ‘They hadn't much to call faces,’ said the shepherd, ‘but I could seem to see as they had teeth.’”

Load More Replies...Aww poor baby fruit bat never even got to flap his little wings .😢
The key here is that we get a teasing taste that tells us something about their nature: “they aren't right - they're ragged and bony and move about in a wobbling, unstable manner,” Kellermeyer told us. Moreover, “they are malicious - they are clearly searching for something and while they have no faces to speak of, by God do they ever have teeth to tear with. A good horror story piques the imagination but lets it suffer in suspense,” he explained.

As a scholar of 19th and 20th-century horror, Kellermeyer can definitely say that the sources of collective fears are both basic and unchanging and very subject to fashion and the cultural moment. “All fears essentially boil down to four things: fear of losing control; fear of the beast within ourselves; fear of the beast in other people; fear of oblivion and mortality. But the way these fears take shape has changed: in Victorian literature a major source of fear was insanity or losing civility in some manner: become more animalistic.”
The editor in chief explained: “For instance, a truly chilling trope in Victorian literature was a ghostly man seen roaming the countryside without a hat or coat. This may seem silly to us, but to them - in a society where a sane, healthy man wouldn't be walking outside bareheaded in his shirtsleeves - the way that death has made this man's ghost so forlorn was truly frightening: his fate has left him vulnerable and stripped him of his propriety.”
Hiroshima, Japan, 1945: This Shadow That Almost Seems Drawn On The White Of Five Steps, Tells The Last Moments Of A Person. All That Remains Is The Shadow Caused By The Flash Of The Atomic Bomb That August 6th
(sorta late sorry haha) It was tragic, but seeing these types of results to something like this helps scientific research, which can help people survive in the future.
Load More Replies...Actually, it is the light area around the shadow that was caused by the bomb. The "shadow" is what the color of the entire surface would be without the bomb.
Thanks you for this. It never made sense to me how it could leave a shadow

Meanwhile, for his generation as an elder Millennial, it seemed like creepy kids were the be all, end all. “I actually am not wild about this trope (black-eyed kids, creepy dolls, scowling little girl ghosts, etc.) because it was just everywhere in the horror scene when I was growing up. But it did something very powerful for folks in the '90s and '00s and even the '10s,” Kellermeyer told us in an interview.
He also noticed that these days, it seems to be relationships that trigger us. “Families and couples (I think of Midsommar, Get Out, Hereditary, The Witch, The Conjuring, Haunting of Hill House, and It Follows),” he named a few. “I think our current cultural moment is very anxious about the intimacy of relationships like those between parents and children or between lovers: it can provide security and love, or it can be very much the opposite.”
A Close Up Of An Ant
Just A Window Lit Up In An Abandoned Hospital
I'd say this is the reflection from other lights, possibly street lights. You can see other specks of light in the bottom-right area of the building. But yes, very creepy.
That's Charity Hospital in New Orleans, right? My grandfather was a surgery graduate student there in 1940, and I interviewed for Tulane Medical School decades later. The hospital is still there and was infamous during Hurricane Katrina.
It's amazing that something so large, once so very full of people, could wind up starkly empty like that. It seems a vision of the Apocalypse.

Load More Replies...This Is What A Lethal Dose Of Fentanyl Looks Like. 2mg
The 2mg lethal dose is misleading as you're dealing with such small quantities that consistent lethality tests are extremely difficult to get. 2mg is based on fent. that was created in a legit pharmaceutical lab so is actually pure. Street available stuff is anything but. And then anyone already on painkillers of some kind or used to taking harder stuff will usually need more. Then you're also faced with the varying complexity of the human system, and all things being identical one person could get away with 5mg while another only 1mg.
"consistent lethality tests are extremely difficult to get" You surprise me. Not enough volunteers?
Load More Replies...It bothers me why is it put on a fabric, not a laboratory glass or sth
they just arrested a guy in lake worth, texas. among over 2M in drugs he had either 8 or 18 grams of the stuff. enough to kill almost 10,000 people they said.
I don't really understand why drug dealers would want their customers to die. What incentive could they have to poison their customers?
They don't want their customers to die, you are quite right. But each dealer will 'cut' the fentanyl with another substance to 'dilute' it and make it go further. From batch to batch and dealer to dealer the user has no way of knowing how pure or how 'cut' each batch is. Whilst they may be safe on 0.2mg from one batch or dealer, 0.2mg from another batch or dealer could be fatal. That's one of the main reasons that street drugs are so dangerous. You never know what you are going to get.
Load More Replies...0.2mg is a lot. We use much smaller doses in hospitals for sedation.
Oh God. Now, how much will it take to kill the devil? Last i checked Putin doesn't have anyone to taste his food for poison. 😈

This Picture From Venus

Biblically Accurate Angel
No wonder their first first statements are always fear not. I would s**t my pant if that appears to me.
This is a seraph, the highest rank of angel. It is a *kind* of biblical angel. There are also Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels.
Those were invented much later. They won't be found in the Bible. Religions have all kinds of odd add-ons, like feudal ranks of angels, Easter bunnies, circles of Hell, and flying reindeer. Saints to intercede for you, because obviously God isn't going to pay attention to a commoner!

Before Days Of Modern Medicine, Many Feared Being Buried Alive. As A Result, Safety Coffins Were Invented In Case The Living Were Mispronounced Passed Away. A String Attached To A Bell Allowed The Victim To Alert Those Above

Load More Replies...Hence the saying about the graveyard shift. Someone had to spend the nights in the churchyard, in case anyone rang a bell.
And people would sneak into the morticians/morgues and steal the bells because they were made from gold
That is both unsettling and I want that so that I can get someone to ring the bell and freak everyone out
modern embalming ends the need for this... question: if you are placing flowers in a cemetery with 50 graves like this, and then you hear a ring, you turn around after the ring stops, what do you do?
I believe that the bells were only used when the body was put in the casket and shortly when they were transferred into the ground. That's why you won't see graveyards with handles standing where a bell would have been. (However, some churches may have done it differently)

The Church is built on the teachings of Jesus, who says to turn the other cheek, to forgive, to show grace and compassion to those who persecute us. These are an abomination
The church celebrates a sky wizzard that supposedly eradicated most life on earth with a flood, disintegrated two towns for having too much fun, asked a follower of his to kill his son for shits and giggles and punishes all of womanhood because one of them once ate a piece of fruit. These cages are hardly the worst thing they ever did.

Why on Earth are the cages still hanging there? I could kinda understand putting them in a museum or something but wtf is up with taking out the bodies and leaving the cages?!
The idea behind that punishment is that the remains stay there, as a warning to others, until they're picked apart by scavengers/damaged by the elements enough to fall out. There's no proper burial.

The more I read of Christian history, including their continued sex abuse scandals up to the present, I've come to an obvious conclusion. They ain't Christians.
Titanium Implants Pulled From A Crematory
To my knowledge (though as I've not actually been part of an active cremation yet, I just know how it works, my studies/work is more to do with preparing the bodies xP) in the UK, prosthetic limbs (such as legs) are sent to poorer/developing countries where they will be refitted/repurposed for someone in need over there. Inner implants like hip replacements may be recycled, used to make things like cars, or airplane parts, amazingly, or even recycled into a new implant. Things like pacemakers or internal medication pumps are removed before cremation however, as they can blow up in the furnace. And obviously, nobody wants that to happen. As for silicone implants like breast implants - they'll burn up.
Load More Replies...I once had a tour at a facility that recycles crematorium scrap metal. Bins upon bins full of titanium hip implants, all shipped off to Rolls Royce who uses them to make jet engine fan blades.
Thus ensuring that granny and grandad still get to go on their dream holiday!
Load More Replies...If it's used on the outside of the body (feet, leg, hand) it's most often reused in poor countries, if it is inside (hips, knee joints etc) they are reused/reformed into plane parts mostly.
The family who forgot to tell the undertakers that daddy had a pacemaker. Blew up the furnaces and a large part of the crematorium. Grief can make families forget a lot of things.
The person who prepared the body should have realised! The family were probably too affected, amd I don't think many people know pacemakers explode.

sad. So many died in Serbia, Croatia, and the Balkans for ignorant nationalism and religious differences. Humanity learns nothing. Now Russia not only fanning the flames but firing the bullets in this ignorant misguided power grab.

Other than texting the pic to someone or posting it quickly, I've wondered how they get the pics from people who have perished in watery disasters. Like, when they found the phone or camera, how did It survive? Was it waterproof or damaged? Thank you for any possible suggestions.
In 2004 there were still many who took high quality pictures with films, because digital cameras still had poor quality. My suggestion..

His Name Is "The Writing Boy", And At First Glance He Looks Like A Toy: He Is A Small Wooden Doll With A Porcelain Head
Nope Al Jazari 1 automatons 1206 followed by David is lions a few hundred years later
Leonardo da Vinci made an automaton. It was a clockwork lion. Flowers came out of its chest.
The thing about the Jaquet-Droz automata in comparison to earlier automata is that they were controlled by a changeable program rather than a single set of movement. In this, they are considered computer precursors. The Writing Boy in particular could pen custom letters.
Al Jazaris operated by the same cam system just 500 years earlier

It’s about an orphaned boy who works in secret at a train station, and he finds a broken automaton with a little heart-shaped key hole, but no key, which he has to find. It’s an amazing story with really cool illustrations.

Jet Injectors Were Devices Used To Vaccinate Someone With No Needles Through The Use Of Pressurizing The Vaccine To Get Through A Patient’s Skin. You Just Had To Make Sure You Didn’t Flinch, Or Your Skin Would Get Torn By The Pressurized Vaccine
Yeah my father say they hurt like hell, we’re for military personnel line them up and shot them in the arm with this( it’s quicker and cheaper then using hundreds of needles )
the shot wasn't any worse than a needle to me - what was in it though. a cholera shot hurt tremendously after the injection for quite a while. kinda' like a shingles shot now, but much worse. i got 5 in 30 seconds once - various stuff for going around the world.

Deep Sea Finds From Roman Fedortsov
The teeth tell me that the bottom left is a frilled shark, six gill (most sharks have five gills). It's considered a living fossil because fossils date back more than 300 million years. It is rarely caught but found worldwide, at depths of 50 to 1200 metres.
Bottom left: frilled shark Don’t know what the other two are, although the bottom right looks like a baby goblin shak.
I hope these animals were dead when he found them. There is no need to kill innocent wildlife just for show and tell, or for one person's glory.

The Abandoned "President Heads" In Williamsburg, Virginia
So apparently these statues are made for a park. But somehow the park need to be closed. And the owner told someone (I couldn't remember who) to destroy those statues. But he thinks it's too bad to destroy them just like that. So he remove all the statues to his land. I could be wrong with the details though. Maybe you can Google for more accurate story lol ;)

In Late December 1977, Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, Known To The World As “Charlie,” Died In His Home In Switzerland. A Few Months Later, His Body Was Stolen From Its Cemetery Plot And Held For Ransom, Kicking Off An International Corpse Hunt
After a five-week investigation, police arrested two auto mechanics—Roman Wardas, of Poland, and Gantscho Ganev, of Bulgaria—who on May 17 led them to Chaplin’s body, which they had buried in a cornfield about one mile from the Chaplin family’s home in Corsier. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/grave-robbers-steal-charlie-chaplins-body
Oh that was even worse! When they eventually went to bury it in Bruno's Aires, there were burn marks, cuts, damage and semen on her corpse.

Victorians DID post mortem photography, but usually of deceased in coffins or on beds.
I'm glad someone is spreading the word! Real corpse photos have the deceased lying down.
Load More Replies...NO, NOT ALWAYS. Because of the exposure time children were often braced in position so they would not move and therefore blur the image. The positioning of the wee girl does not indicate being dead either. More likely she’s as bored as heck and cross at being held in that position.
Gonna guess the little girl at the end, given that her eyes are closed (granted, not a foolproof reasoning) and that her next older brother looks more upset than the others
