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.

This Castle In Spain
Pat Bond 4 years ago
Too much effort to name it BP?? Butrón is a castle located in Gatika, in the province of Biscay, in northern Spain. It dates originally from the Middle Ages, although it owes its present appearance to an almost complete rebuilding begun by Francisco de Cubas in 1878. The castle has a fairy-tale look about it inspired by Bavarian castle models

Deep Sea Finds From Roman Fedortsov
David A Paterson 4 years ago
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.
