This is Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at just 3-years-old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident and his best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway in NYC. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account.
In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him. In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, but instead he wakes up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought, to be a caring person

We reached out to Ryan, the creator of “The Odd, Mysterious & Fascinating” to hear how the page began and what it’s been like seeing it grow. “I created this particular page to share some of the odd and strange things you see circulating around the internet,” Ryan told us. “This page has grown to 35k likes/75k follows in just under a month. It is extremely exciting watching something grow so fast. This was also done organically and without ads.”
We also asked him how he decides what to share on the page. “I share things that I believe others want to see and that will bring new followers to my page,” Ryan says. “The odd, bizarre and strange things are what I’m usually drawn to.” And clearly, based on the growth of the page, he’s not the only one who enjoys learning about weird things.

A sheep showing gratitude to the dog that saved him from a wolf attack.

The dog seems to be a Turkish Sivas Kangal dog. They are specşially bread to protect against wolf packs. The breed has the most astonishing characteristics and although not trained to protect sheep they see it as their duty. You may be upset when I say the ears are clipped and a nail studded collar is used on the dogs. It is for their protection since the wolves go for the ears and neck.

And humanely clipped ears is far less painful than bit/ripped off by wolves. If you are going to own a (working) dog, do it right!

The Greek government has decided to legally ban overweight tourists from receiving rides from donkeys. The ruling comes after animal rights groups garnered media attention surrounding the poor treatment of the donkeys, which included carrying burdensome loads.
The law was created after animal rights groups complained about spinal injuries and open wounds that the donkeys suffered from due to carrying heavier tourists.

Likewise, I'm 5'11 with shoes and 5'10 without shoes. My height alone would be hard enough for these animals to bare, but I'm also over 300 pounds, so I'm pretty f****n overweight to say the least. I know this, which is why my fatass wouldn't even think about getting on a horse, camel, donkey, bull, any kind of animal, because I know I would more than likely hurt/strain, maybe even damage the animal. We're no different when we give things like piggy-back rides and such to our friends, we know how strenuous that can be; just imagine if it was someone even heavier than what we can already handle. That's what these poor animals go through daily. These people have alot of nerve.

Sorry..I'm an overweight lady and I would never put a poor animal through the burden of carrying me...not even if it was a Camel or the largest Clydesdale. They were not meant to be tortured. Any owner of any establishment that puts their animals through this should be removed from the position and never allowed around animals again.

Unfortunately the money is more important to the villagers. They need to support families. You can get another animal. Not my view but that of many poor people who don't have another way to support themselves in areas rich with tourists and too many little shops. Not a lot different than the people who abuse animals on farms, in mines and many other instances.

When I was a kid in the San Francisco Bay Area, an amusement park called "Frontier Village" had a donkey ride. A lady in our party who weighed about 500 pounds decided to ride despite the 250-pound limit. The donkey fell to its knees and screamed. It had to be pulled from rotation.
When it comes to why Ryan enjoys sharing these posts, he told us, “I believe sharing these interesting stories keeps social media fresh and engaging. It also helps the younger audience engage as we do not post monotonous political posts or paid ads.” Lastly, Ryan wanted to add that right now he has a “total audience of 3 million followers spread out across several pages”, but his audience was even larger at one time. He went on to explain, “In 2019, I had a singular page with approximately 6.5 million followers that was disabled due to wrongly assigned community standards violations. It has been an extremely difficult battle rebuilding my audience after that happened.” While starting back at square one must have been devastating, Ryan clearly is a pro at what he does, given the traction this page is already getting. If you enjoy this list, be sure to head over to Facebook when you’re done and give “The Odd, Mysterious & Fascinating” a like.

Sadly, this giant wolf-dog was dumped at a kill shelter after growing too large and becoming too much of a burden on the owner. Thankfully, a sanctuary took him instead and saved his life! His DNA testing came back as 87.5% Gray Wolf, 8.6% Siberian Husky and 3.9% German Shepherd. Wow!

Do not have wolf hybrids like this. A friend of my brothers had an animal like this that was 95% wolf named Cinder because he was all black.

Breeding and owning a wolf hybrid should be illegal. You are creating an animal torn between worlds, expecting it to suppress thousands of years of instincts. That struggle leads to confusion, fear, and ultimately aggression... which the animal will be blamed for, but is the human's fault.

At age 17, Juliane Koepcke was sucked out of an airplane after it was struck by lightning. She fell over 2 miles to the ground still strapped to her plane seat and somehow lived. She then had to endure a 9-day walk through the Amazon jungle before eventually being rescued by loggers. She was the sole survivor of LANSA Flight 508 that killed 93 people in December 1971.

Fun fact: maggots only consume dead tissue. She may have been saved from gangrene resulting in amputation or death by those maggots. Additional fun fact: blood-letting has been thoroughly discredited as a cure-all (rightly so) but treatment by leeches for specific health issues has made a comeback. Our ancestors made a lot of mistakes. Doesn’t mean there’s nothing to learn in terms of treatment that isn’t based on drugs.

These shows starred people with various unique physical features that captivated and confused audiences. Anything from being extraordinarily tall or short to being a woman with a beard could draw great crowds. Long before we had the internet and countless books at our disposal to learn about and see images of things we don’t encounter in our everyday lives, these “freak shows” were mind-blowing. Of course, we live in a much different time today. We have much better education about disabilities and unique physical features, and thankfully, it is now unacceptable to mock these things. But our human tendency to find fascination in things we do not understand lives on.

"If I don't make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them."
Todd Beamer was just 32 years old when his flight was hijacked by terrorists on 9/11. A passenger on United Airlines Flight 93, Beamer was forced to think quickly. He first tried calling AT&T, but both of his calls were terminated upon connection. Beamer then attempted to call his wife, but that call was also terminated. Finally, he contacted Airfone operators and was able to connect with a supervisor named Lisa Jefferson. While on the line, he pleaded with Jefferson to tell his pregnant wife and two sons that he loved them, but he also outlined a heroic plan to fight back against the hijackers alongside his fellow passengers and the flight crew. And that's exactly what he did.

One popular way to seek out a topic few of us understand is by learning about true-crime stories. One might think learning about real-life atrocities would lead us to live in fear, but many of us actually find these stories exciting. Psychologist Dr. Chivonna Childs told the Cleveland Clinic, “Watching true crime doesn’t make you strange or weird. It’s human nature to be inquisitive. True crime appeals to us because we get a glimpse into the mind of a real person who has committed a heinous act.” Whether it’s John Wayne Gacy Jr. or Ted Bundy, hearing about someone who is capable of committing such gruesome crimes is almost beyond belief; we can’t help but be intrigued.

By the time she was 17, Judy Garland was already reliant on "pep pills," a.k.a. amphetamines, and was being hounded by studio executives regarding her weight and looks. One executive called her a fat hunchback and encouraged her to smoke in order to suppress her appetite.
Garland's grueling work schedule — coupled with a strict diet of black coffee, chicken soup, and cigarettes imposed upon her by her Hollywood bosses — set the stage for her lifetime of body dysmorphia and substance abuse. The star attempted suicide at least 20 times in her life until her fatal overdose at 47.

In October 1983, Tami Oldham Ashcraft and her fiancé, Richard Sharp, began a 4,000-mile sailing trip from Tahiti to San Diego. Three weeks into the journey, they were hit by a category 4 hurricane that capsized their ship and knocked Ashcraft unconscious.
Some 27 hours later, she awoke to find that her fiance was gone and she was stranded alone in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. With only a sextant and watch, Ashcraft journeyed for 41 days until she found the coast of Hawaii.

But Dr. Childs says that it makes sense, considering that women are statistically more likely to be the victims of violent crime. “We want to watch true-crime in part to learn how to avoid being a victim,” she says. “It can teach us to be prepared in case we’re ever in that situation.” While it’s impossible to predict how any of us would react when confronted with a violent attacker (a situation hopefully none of us every find ourselves in!), I’d like to think that the hundreds of documentaries, podcasts and videos I’ve ingested featuring true-crime tales would do me some good.

When it comes to the kind of media many of us are interested in, true stories via documentaries and podcasts have become insanely popular in recent years. Podcasts like Serial, My Favorite Murderer, The Dropout and Swindled have gained massive audiences, all by detailing stories that seem too outlandish to be true. Documentaries have also taken over streaming platforms, with Tiger King becoming the most watched show on Netflix for over 3 weeks in a row upon its release. Audiences are hungry for documentaries about anything that's mysterious to us, including celebrities. Some popular documentaries focusing on the lives of celebrities are Hulu’s The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears and Netflix's Miss Americana and The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes.

This is Simo Häyhä, the deadliest sniper in world history with over 500 confirmed kills in less than 100 days. He used no scope on his rifle and once held off over 4,000 Soviets with only 31 other Finns.
Over the course of the Winter War, which lasted roughly 100 days, Häyhä killed between 500 and 542 Russian soldiers, all with his antiquated rifle. While his comrades were using state-of-the-art telescopic lenses to zoom in on their targets, Häyhä was fighting with an iron sight, which he felt gave him a more precise target.

In 2005, researchers discovered a phallus-shaped stone object buried in a cave in a German mountain, measuring eight inches long and three centimeters wide. Upon closer inspection, experts realized that they were looking at the world's oldest known dildo. Created approximately 28,000 years ago, this sex toy is older than civilization, religion, and marriage combined.

Harry Haft was just a teenager when he was sent to Auschwitz. Once he arrived, the Nazi guards found out that he had some boxing experience — so they ordered him to fight his fellow prisoners in harrowing boxing matches where the loser would be executed. Forced to literally fight for his life, Haft never lost a single match, even though he would have known many of his opponents because the Nazis regularly sent people from the same town to the same concentration camps. From 1943 to 1945, he was forced to fight at least 76 people, none of whom he ever saw alive again.
Only in April 1945 did Haft manage to escape during a death march away from the camp — by killing a Nazi soldier and stealing his uniform. Haft then spent weeks running from village to village. Trained to fight to the death, he even killed an elderly couple who offered him shelter after he suspected they'd discovered that he wasn't really a Nazi. By the time he made it to Allied-controlled Germany, he weighed only 110 pounds and spent the next two years recovering in a refugee camp. But by 1947, he decided to fight again and immigrated to America to become a professional boxer — where he took on some of the biggest names in the sport.

Time Magazine’s Judy Berman broke down “docu-mania” in a piece last year, analyzing the rapid rise of true stories on streaming platforms. She addressed the fact that there used to be a stigma around documentaries, with audiences assuming they are more like text books on a screen than riveting stories. But recently, and even more fueled by the pandemic, we are devouring documentaries faster than ever before. The Hollywood Reporter even stated that, “Access to archival footage, remote post-production capabilities and even teleconference interviews mean audiences are likely to see several docuseries born out of COVID-19’s binding circumstances.” Desperate to piece together what audiences were begging for, studios began digging up everything they could to pump out compelling, never-before-heard tales.

Accused of murdering two white girls in 1944 without a shred of physical evidence, 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. became the youngest person in U.S. history ever executed in the electric chair
When he was put to death, he was so small that the state electrician struggled to adjust an electrode to his right leg. Stinney even needed to sit on a phone book for the electrocution to work properly. He then survived the first round of 2,400 volts, which caused his oversized mask to slip off and expose his tears. It took two more jolts before he was dead with the room reeking of burning flesh.

“The parents of the children were busy taking food from the plane, so they had left their children only briefly while they collected the food. This was the situation for the girl in the photo taken by Carter. A vulture landed behind the girl.

He took a few more photos before chasing the bird away”.

On September 30, 1999, Hisashi Ouchi was exposed to the highest dose of nuclear radiation in human history. A 35-year-old lab technician at the nuclear plant in Tokaimura, Japan, Ouchi was mixing a uranium solution by hand directly over an open container when he accidentally poured in too much uranium, immediately causing a violent explosion.
For the next 83 days, Ouchi suffered unimaginable agony as the radiation worked its way through his body, obliterating his DNA and causing his skin to melt off and his eyes to weep blood before he finally died. And though he begged for death, doctors refused to listen and kept him alive against his will for nearly three excruciating months.
Lightning Bolt 3 years ago
It is extremely important to understand that the doctors had no choice. They were legally obligated by law to keep him alive unless he himself asked to be euthanized, which he never did. After Ouchi last consciousness, only his family had the ability to allow his euthanasia. They refused to sign the papers and asked the doctors to continue with treatments. Many of the doctors and nurses thought it was unethical to continue Ouchi’s suffering and some were even disgusted by they had no choice, they were forced. They even had the family members come in to see Ouchi every day to show them that his condition was only deteriorating and convince them to sign the papers to end his suffering. So point is, the doctors shouldn’t be the one to blame. The family were blindsided but they shouldn’t take all of the blame either. It was ultimately Japanese law that caused this, which is unfortunate, because literally nothing could have been done by the doctors. Source: https://qr.ae/pvCbgI

Paul Jenkins wrote a list of “Reasons Why Documentaries Are Important” for Brilliantio, and many of them align perfectly with why “The Odd, Mysterious & Fascinating” page is so successful.

Former NFL star Pat Tillman was hailed as a hero in 2004 after he was "killed by the Taliban." But it was a lie — he'd been killed by friendly fire. And while the shooting has since been described as accidental, some believe it was intentionally planned by the U.S. Army.
Not only was Tillman shot three times in the head, but he was also shot at close range and it was later determined that the Army had lied about his unit being ambushed by the enemy. Eerily, all of Tillman's personal items had been burned — including his uniform and private journals. On top of that, rumors had surfaced that he was about to go public about his opposition to the invasion of Iraq and the War on Terror with a televised meeting with Noam Chomsky. But this meeting would never happen.

In 1986, firefighter Vasily Ignatenko heroically responded to the radioactive fires caused by the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station explosion. He put most of the fires out in a couple of hours, but spend far too long near the radiation. After several weeks of suffering, he would die from his exposure. After his death, Ignatenko's body was so radioactive, he had to be buried under layers of zinc and concrete in order to protect the public from his corpse.

Another feature of documentaries and the posts shared on this Facebook page are the opportunities to give faces to names. As exciting as podcasts and books are, it’s nice to have visual elements alongside the stories. A photo really is worth a thousand words and can add so much to a compelling story. These images can also help audiences better understand worlds they think they know. For example, unflattering and heartbreaking images of late celebrities right before they passed are very different from the images of them typically shown in the media. Of course, it’s great to celebrate how they were at their best, but especially when tackling topics like addiction, audiences should see the reality of a situation.

Near the end of his life, Bob Marley was told by a doctor that he had "more cancer in him than I've seen with a live human being," and that he only had a few months to live, so "he might as well go back out on the road and die there."
Three years earlier, the reggae icon had been diagnosed with melanoma under his toenail in 1977. Doctors removed the nail and the nail bed, but Marley refused to have the toe itself amputated to stop the spread of the disease, insisting that it violated his Rastafarian religious beliefs. By 1980, the cancer had spread throughout his body, infecting his liver, lungs, and even his brain. Marley played his last show on September 30, 1980, in Pittsburgh, performing Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" during the soundcheck to the bemusement of his roadies, who didn't know anything was wrong. He died eight months later at the age of 36.

When Joe Pichler was just six years old, he made his acting breakthrough with a commercial for a Seattle department store. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles, where he landed a part in 1999's "Varsity Blues" before earning a leading role in two installments of the "Beethoven" franchise.
Pichler then moved back to his hometown of Bremerton, Washington to attend high school and had plans to return to Hollywood after he had his braces removed — but he never got the chance. In the early morning hours of January 5, 2006, Pichler mysteriously vanished, and police have been unable to solve his disappearance to this day.

He may have ended up in the water. Bremerton is where a Naval Base is located. A good portion of the area is surrounded by water from the Puget Sound and the easiest way in and out of the area are large ferries. It's very easy to fall off those ferries never to be seen again. There are also areas where cliffs are unstable and can create rock slides in a split second. If he got caught in one of these, he may have been buried alive with no one being the wiser.

Hopefully it never is released. Kevin Sanders, Bearman of Yellowstone has supposedly heard about 2 minutes of the 6 minute tape and mentions that: "There are several ways to determine whether one of these recordings is real or not. Just recently I was given access to the first 2 minutes of the 6 minute tape. There are two sounds that have not been published that are unmistakeable and have been missing in each fake tape that I have heard. All fake recordings so far have been under 3 minutes in length and the real tape is 6 minutes. As I reported above in my investigation the bear is nearly silent. Bears typically make very little sounds, and each fake recording has the sound of a bear roaring, growling, and making all sorts of noises. In movies, bear noises are dubbed in electronically." He also has quite a bit of detail of what he thinks happened which is interesting and just overall sad especially when you think of Amie. http://www.yellowstone-bearman.com/Tim_Treadwell.html

Rescuing live climbers from the Death Zone on Mount Everest is risky enough, and removing their bodies is almost impossible. Many unfortunate mountaineers remain exactly where they fell, frozen in time forever to serve as macabre milestones for the living.
One body that every climber en route to the summit must pass is that of “Green Boots,” who was one of the eight people killed on the mountain during a blizzard in 1996.
The corpse, which received its name because of the neon green hiking boots it wears, lies curled up in a limestone cave on Mount Everest’s Northeast ridge route. Everyone who passes through is forced to step over his legs in a forceful reminder that the path is still treacherous, despite their proximity to the summit.

His face soon appeared at breakfast tables around the U.S. as he became the original missing milk carton kid — but Etan was never seen alive again. However, after nearly 40 years of searching, Etan's case has finally been closed.

From wiki "Decades later, it was determined that Patz had been abducted and murdered the same day that he went missing. The case was reopened in 2010 by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. In 2012, the FBI excavated the basement of the alleged crime scene near the Patz residence but discovered no new evidence. Pedro Hernandez—a suspect who confessed—was charged and indicted later that year on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping."

I don't understand why people want to kidnap/murder anyone. What makes someone do that? It's sick, it makes me sad and angry, I don't understand it. There's no reason to do this, it hurts so many people.

Sometimes it's psychopaths. Sometimes schizophreny(idk if that's how it's spelled). It's some type of crazyness, ussually. But there's also the truly evil people, that just kind of... do it. Maybe there's a reason, maybe not

On July 3, 1971, Jim Morrison's girlfriend Pamela Courson found the rock star unconscious and immobile in the bathroom of their Paris apartment. Before long, The Doors frontman was declared dead of heart failure, thought to be brought on by a heroin overdose.
In the years after Morrison's death, Courson's own addictions grew rapidly worse. She often described herself as "Jim Morrison's wife" — despite the fact that they had never married — and sometimes even delusionally claimed that he was about to call her. Nearly three years later, she suffered the same fate as The Doors frontman — and died at age 27 of a heroin overdose just like him.

Never being married by the government or a church, doesn't mean they didn't consider each other husband and wife, which made them exactly that.

I whole heartedly believe to this day that Jim was killed from the injury that he received falling off a roof a few days before he left for Paris. He was ill in Paris, coughing up blood, spells of weakness ect. Jim never used downers and was terrified of heroin, it frequently being an issue in him and Pam's relationship. Yet everywhere it states that he died of an overdose, without a single shred of evidence, drives me insane.

Before becoming the LSD-fueled hippie guru who defined the 1960s and '70s, Ram Dass was a stuffy academic named Richard Alpert. While working as an assistant professor of clinical psychology at Harvard, Alpert had a fateful meeting with LSD pioneer Timothy Leary, and together they embarked upon a series of mind-altering and controversial experiments.
In 1962, Alpert and Leary conducted the famous "Good Friday Experiment," history's first controlled study of the connection between psychedelic drugs and mystical experiences, right inside the chapel at Boston University. The experiment got both men fired from Harvard, prompting Alpert to take a spiritual journey to India that saw him reinvent himself as the guru "Ram Dass" — and made him an icon of the hippie movement.

On June 8, 2018, 61-year-old celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain was found dead at a hotel in France, ruled suicide by hanging. Despite his massive success and role in exposing the unsavory secrets of the culinary underworld, the "original rock star" of the kitchen struggled with his own demons.
Bourdain's past heroin addiction may have been resolved, but his mental health continued to trouble him. He often discussed death, suicide, depression, and a darkness he couldn't shake, leading him to choose what experts called an "impulsive act."

Strangely enough, the bizarre 2006 film ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ was actually based on the folklore story of Sawney Bean, the head of an inbred cannibal family.
Legend maintains that for over 25 years, Sawney Bean and his incestuous family of cannibalistic children terrorized medieval Scotland. According to folklore, the family would descend upon unsuspecting travelers and then dismember, pickle, and devour them. Some estimate that the family cannibalized up to 1,000 people — until one man escaped and told King James VI.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow skipped from bank robbery to bank robbery in America's heartland, becoming media sensations for their daring crimes and heart-throbbing love story. But all this came to a terrible halt in 1934 when an ambush stopped them dead in their tracks, decisively ending both their criminal careers and their young lives in a scene so gruesome that the photos cemented their untimely end into American history forever.

I hate when articles forget to say what murderous scumbags these two were. They killed at least twelve innocent people on their rampage and the world is a better place without them. They won't need a coat where they're spending eternity.

My thoughts exactly. This story is almost always romanticized simply because of how much they loved each other. They were a match made in hell. They were horrible people. Thankfully, some people who tell their story know this.

one of the reasons these two media of the times sensations wasn't because of their multiple escapes from police or their so called love story as they were both twisted individuals. what made the public interested and, in a way, support them was they communicated with law enforcement regularly to express themselves which papers picked up and published when possible. it was so because this was happening during/after the major crash of '29 and they were known to not steal from the 'average joe' but pick on banks and other 'big businesses' of the time.

No way he was close to be white. His portrait of a white-blue-eyed-blond-hair person was made up by catholic church centuries after his supposedly life-time, to get him accepted by europeans. Just imagine, a brown-skinned, Mediterranean figure will never gain the acceptance of a Savior.

A bit more information about the girl who was being stalked by the vulture. And was actually a boy At that point it was likely he was dying. The photographer was criticised for not helping him and killed himself from guilt. Reality is he would have died because it was too late if he had not been near an aid centre. He passed away in 2007 from an illness.

Sorry, Keanu was NOT married, ever. It was his pregnant girlfriend who died. Using false information really minimises the story and now fact checking every, single aspect is necessary. That's really disrespectful to both your readers and Mr. Reeves.
