Terror and horror are a bit of a paradox. Sure, disturbing things can scare the bejesus out of you… but there’s a part of you that can’t get enough of unsettling content. Or is that just us?
The ‘Oddly Horrifying’ social media project is home to some of the creepiest, most frightening, bizarre, and unusual real-life stories. Today, we’re featuring some of the scariest posts, as shared on the Instagram page, to fuel your nightmares. Keep scrolling to feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

He said that as he was walking and crying to jump if one person had stopped to talk to him he would not have done it. That stuck with me and I think of that if I see someone in distress. He also said as soon as he jumped he regretted it. I wonder how many people who dont survive have that same regret
Probably a lot :( Suícidal ideation is sometimes constant and chronic, but many times, the DECISION to commit suícide is impulsive and in-the-moment when the suícidal person just cannot take it any longer (at that moment.) I've been suícidal for nearly three decades, to differing severities, and I've attempted suícide twice (by ingesting a substance that would kíll me.) Both times, at the last second before I fell fully unconscious, I changed my mind and induced vomiting. If I'd jumped off a bridge or in front of a train, I would not have had that "chance", as those acts are usually irrevocable. (Additionally, I was very near suícide when I was 16 or so, and my dad snuck me to see a therapist, and that helped me SO much just to have someone unbiased to talk to. My mom doesn't "believe" that mental illness is "real", so my dad and I had to literally keep my therapy a secret from her.)

Every time this is posted, I can't get over the fact that not one other person comments on the fact that the orangutan is called Ken Allen.
It is 4:57am where I live and I literally screamed "HIS NAME IS KEN?!" as soon as I scrolled to the image and read that XD So I'm with you, Harry. I'm with you. I cannot handle the fact that not only is his name KEN but he also has a LAST NAME too! I love it, but I can't handle it XD

Armed with large heavy handbags instead of guns, the Mom Squad would be the most successful unit in the whole department, taking down more hardened criminals with one well placed “swat” with their handbags than a whole army of gun-toting men could ever achieve. Hell hath no fury like a pissed-of mom with a heavy handbags instead containing everything anyone could ever need, including the kitchen sink.

Load More Replies...There’s a difference between terror and horror, but in pop culture, the term ‘horror’ is often used to refer to both, interchangeably. In a nutshell, terror is that feeling of dread and anticipation you get right before a scary event. Basically, it’s the buildup toward something disturbing.
On the flip side, horror is the feeling of disgust and revulsion after the event. It’s a very visceral, instinctive reaction.
From Wikipedia for anyone interested: He claimed to have falsely confessed so that her body would be exhumed for DNA tests. When this was done, the DNA collected led to the arrest of a man who had been convicted in other cases with the same modus operandi
What a badass her brother is. I mean that takes balls of steel, truly. I mean there's a risk at all goes bad like there's no actual DNA evidence that they are looking for and he can't clear himself. I'm floored..
I suspect the family knew there was DNA evidence and had been asking for a while to have the case reviewed.

While far from everyone is a fan of horror, there are so many people who love it to bits. There’s a lot of pleasure to be found in intentionally being spooked. And, in some ways, it can even be healthy. Well, so long as your life doesn’t consist of bingeing on creepy content, day in and day out.
According to the Washington Post, the so-called ‘paradox of horror’ (aka recreational fear) means that being scared can be fun. Under the right circumstances, of course.

The m******r is Dieter Krombach and the father got only a one year suspended jail sentence.
I would imagine in the good ole USA the father would be in jail longer. Good on France!
Load More Replies...This text is very misleading. Dieter Krombach committed the crime in Germany. When the proceedings in Germany were discontinued due to a lack of evidence, the victim's biological father initiated proceedings in France because he and his daughter (the murder victim) were French citizens. Krombach was convicted there in absentia. The European Court for Human Rights declared this judgment unlawful and Germany refused to extradite him. Only then was he abducted.
Also, Krombach was the victim's stepfather and a doctor. He always claimed the crime was an accident: she asked him for an injection to tan faster, but she unfortunately had a fatal reaction to the product. It makes sense that the German court didn't think there was enough evidence to jail him for m*rder.

Clasen told the Washington Post that “we learn something about the dangers of the world. We learn something about our own responses: What does it feel like to be afraid? How much fear can I take?”
That was in Germany. She received a six-year sentence and spent a total of four years in prison. She died from cancer at the age of 46.

Rachel, after being abducted and ássaulted the girl managed to gain his trust. Then, using cleaning up his house as a cover, she collected clues which she could hide in her clothing and which could help to identify him - if he had kílled her there's a chance he wouldn't find them when he disposed of her body. As it happens she didn't need them because she managed to escape when he fell asleep, and she led the police straight to him. So yes, both horrifying for the crime and clever for her thinking.
Wait what happened? who downvoted? which seven?
Load More Replies...Pretty sure the horrifying part was being abducted by a serial killer followed by the sexual a*****t. Also, I'm sure whatever she did to get him to trust her can't have been fun.

Kind of weird for a "Reddit Scrapper" to have the Censorship? Why with the Censorship?!? Shouldn't you let information be free....since your scraping it from somewhere else?
There are lots of different ways to scare yourself while in the comfort of your own home. Scary movies, horror video games, podcasts about true crime, documentaries about how terrifying nature can be, etc.
Not only do you get to learn about dealing with scary situations while staying perfectly safe at home, but you also get an adrenaline rush from the experience, leading to an elevated mood. Basically, you prepare yourself for actually dangerous situations.
Meanwhile, for some people, consuming horror content is a way to focus on a concrete threat, which helps them handle their anxieties and real-life problems.
I have no words. This is so sad, so hopeless, so terrible. Doing this to children. He was a little child and a hero. He should never have lost his life. What the heck is going on in this crazy world ?
And you have braindead maggots who claim that it never happened, that the grieving parents were ''trauma actors''. Fk the NRA, just fk 'em.
And that total POS Alex Jones made $ by insisting Sandy Hook was a hoax.
Before school shootings were a "thing", ugh, kids were to stay in the class, and hide in the corner. Over the past few years, it basically has changed to everyone run and get out as fast you can, literally. Hopefully this works - but my god, what person, let alone a child in a "safe" place should ever have to worry about this.
And the politicians see no need for strict gun control. I hope there is a hell just so they can be sent to their own portion of it.
God this made me so sad. Why do little children need to be heroes, why do they need to pay for crazy people's minds. poor guy, poor family :( why does this keep happening
This photo was taken on May 2, 1960, in the attic of the Secret Annex, the evening before the opening of the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam. It was where Otto Frank, his family, and four other Jews hid for over two years. The next day, he opened the museum in memory of Anne and all other m******d Jews, and gave a heartbreaking speech. Imagine the thoughts running through that man's mind in this photo.
There could never be a book or movie which depicts the true horror of Nazis and the H*******t. Christos says it below.

Load More Replies...People in these comments seem to be missing some critical facts: it wasn't "rumors" about "possible abuse"; her DAUGHTER told her that the husband (the girl's stepfather) had abused both her and her brother when they were children. The son had also told her that "he's a paedophile" prior to "unaliving" himself, but at the time she hadn't fully realized who the son was referring to. It's in the court documents. So no, not just a random rumor; she knew. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Sentencing-remarks-R-v-Corinna-Smith-FINAL.pdf
Good research. I read that the daughter wanted to take a polygraph, which had not taken place and her son didn't believe the allegations. So it was indeed more than rumours, but not yet an established fact. Either way, I think indivuduals performing death by severe t*****e (try to imagine for a second what that might feel like) on their own accord is not the way to a less barbaric society, although I can understand the sentiment. The judicial system, flawed as it is, is still our best bet in my opinion.

According to the Washington Post, there’s a delicate balance to be found for what each and every individual enjoys. If there’s too little fear, things can get pretty boring fairly quickly. Too much of a frightening experience, however, leads to very little fun and far too much anxiety.
As a lecturer of Law once told me "if you want fair then pop over to the church across the road. If you want to study law then stay here." The law often bears little resemblance to natural instincts or the concept of fairness.

I recently saw a video of Joan visiting a civil rights museum exhibit and seeing her picture on the wall. She was wearing a shirt with her own mugshot on it. She's a b@dass! They all were. I'm sad to say there's still SOOOOOOOO much work to be done and undone.

While Britain still sells weapons to the genocidal f**k*ers in Israel, mark you!
What is so upsetting about something like this is certain people in power still do dumb things like this without considering. Men just love to shoot first and ask questions later. That's why we need more women to be in charge of power and decision making. More humanity and less greed and war

If you want to get into horror, you don’t have to go overboard at first. Definitely don’t start by watching the scariest movies known to humankind. Try something simpler, with only minor frightening elements.
And you don’t have to go for the full horror fan experience right away. Watch scary content during the day or with the lights on, with some friends by your side.
If you’re particularly easy to frighten, you might even want to look up some spoilers for the movies and shows. Sacriliege, we know! But if it helps you get used to terror and horror, it’s well worth the price.
In this case, it’s not BP - the Instagram account they took these from censors the words.

Yeah, that changes the narrative a lot. I hope his actions helped him to find peace, and if a couple of abu*sers and rap*ists had to suffer or die for that, I don't consider it too high a price. I said what I said.

This was a pretty messed up case. He asked for a deal where he would get sentenced to the same amount as all the s*x offenders he beat up did combined. They declined because it wasn't long enough. Proving his point.

Stimulation is one of the key forces driving the consumption of horror. Based on research conducted by Haiyang Yang from the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Kuangjie Zhang from the Nanyang Technological University Singapore, “exposure to terrifying acts like stories of demonic possession or alien infestation can be stimulating both mentally and physically.”
I have one pointed question. What kind of s*x did they have that convinced the diplomat that Shi Pei Pu was impregnated. I'm gonna leave a little wiggle room here and hope that Shi Pei Pu convinced the diplomat that the diplomat got black-out drunk.
Load More Replies...If someone wonders: French diplomat was a virgin when they met, he had a really troubled history of communicating with women and he probably was gay. That's why he didn't really know how does a naked woman body look and feel. And they always had s*x in darkness with Shi Pei Pu fully dressed. And he also was able to put his genitals in a, erm... Labia-like form. He said so himself. The child (an orphan) was provided by Chinese Intelligence so Pei Pu could show his French lover a baby.
BP forgot to post the best part. “Pei Pu could create the appearance of having female genitalia by making his testicles ascend into his body cavity and tucking his p***s back”
I'm sorry.. but did said diplomat not know how children are MADE? HOW did THAT happen?
Have you not looked around lately? There are LOTS of people who don't understand basic s*x ed.
Load More Replies...Not a surprise given the way that Soviet forces were utilised during WWII, their lack of regard for human life was bordering on criminal, they’d approach battles with volume rather than quality or solid tactics, just throw troops at the problem. 1 in 3 dead during WWII were Russian. Yes they won but the cost in lives was biblical.
And Russia has never moved on from this tactic.
Load More Replies...They were not “lost to World War II.” They were kiLled in a war they never wanted, victims of a vicous N**i regime on one side and a lack of respect and care for their soldiers’ lives on the other (Soviet) side.
Soviet union never used the name World War II. They call it The Great National war. One of the reason why they eventually "won" was they simply had more headcount that Germans to sent to frontline.
This is vastly different from the woman who had all 6 or 7 of her sons go off to war, and all of them returned... so sad.
Can't thank them enough for defeating the Nazis, at what costs! Hard to believe that people vote for the fascists again.
Don't thank them too much - they went total animals on German women and girls. Same thing they're doing in the Ukraine today. There are accounts of eg. a 13 year old being gang rap*ed to death on the hood of a jeep. They might have helped to slay the monsters, but they became the monsters themselves. And then forbade German women to talk about what happened to them.
Load More Replies...Each year on liberation day ... Russians, who lost family members in WWII, march holding pictures of those they lost. It is called the Immortal Regiment. The number of participants is in the millions. Meanwhile in America on Memorial day ... we go shopping.
When you watch American movies about WW2 you can get the impression that Tom Hanks and Rosie the Riveter won the war. Not the case, Germany lost on the Russian steppes. I read that every family in Russia lost a blood relative (father/mother/daughter/son) in the war. And before that in the Purges, the Russian Civil War, the Russian Revolution, World War I, on and on. That kind of trauma is so ripe for exploitation and has been exploited by evil men ever since.
Legend has it that the husky was silent for a full 30 seconds, a feat that has never been repeated.
Wolves are extremely diverse in size. The largest subspecies can indeed be twice the height and weight of an average husky. However, most subspecies of wolf are only slightly larger than a husky. Italian wolves, for example, are the size of a retriever, while the Indian plains wolf is even smaller, being only around 2 feet at the shoulder and weighing up to 55 lb.
Hogwash. I've been around both. That's either a miniature husky, or has been photoshopped to look so small in comparison.
Yes and yes. It could be a large male Northwestern wolf, which can reach 3 feet at the shoulder, and weigh up to 160 lb, while a smallish female husky will be shorter than 2 feet at the shoulder and weight 50 lb. However, the picture is indeed photoshopped.

The genetic makeup of the donor lungs does not change; it will always have different genetic makeup and therefore different allergic potential. They really should have noted the allergy since the donor died from it. This is a failure on the part of the recipient's doctor!
Being immunosuppressed to reduce risk of organ rejection is a contributory factor.
So, the lungs that stopped working because of a peanut allergy were transplanted into someone else, and stopped working because of a peanut allergy. Why is that a surprise?
I worked with a lady years ago that had a kidney transplant and was allergic to tomatoes afterwards.

You can hit a person as well with a costume. SHe was a child and he was older and had more strength
As per the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, individuals who enjoy horror tend to have a psychological ‘protective frame.’ This falls into 3 main categories, including having:
- A safety frame, where the person enjoying horror entertainment knows for a fact that they are safe
- A sense of detachment, where the individual is reminded that what they’re seeing play out on the screen isn’t real
- A sense of control, where you feel confident about managing and overcoming all the dangers that you might encounter

I've been to Maui a few times. It's little. Seems like you could walk a day or two and hit a coast. 17 days? She must have been hurt.
Maui is only 48 miles across at its widest point. But the terrain isn't easy to cross. Dense forest and major elevation changes, and with population centers and infrastructure only really along the coast. You couldn't possibly go in a straight line, and it would be easy to get disorientated. In a place like Maui though, you're best bet would be to find a stream and just follow it down hill. All of the streams lead to a road at some point. The problem is many of them also lead to water falls

My mom once accidentally set some kitchen towels on fire. I was maybe 5 or so. The second I saw the flames in the kitchen, I ran to the phone and dialed 911, as I had been TAUGHT to do, and yelled "Help! Fire!" when the dispatcher answered. My mom threw the flaming towels in the sink, walked over to me, backhanded me, grabbed the phone, and told the operator that I had "accidentally" dialed and hung up. After she'd hung up, my mother hit me repeatedly while screaming at me to never do that again. I was very confused, as I had been taught in preschool, kindergarten, and by BOTH parents to call 911 in an emergency (INCLUDING fire.) No one d!ed like in poor Robert's story, but it took me a LONG time to feel "safe" with calling 911 again.

Load More Replies...Believe children when they tell you things, folks. Yes, I know a lot of it ends up being just gibberish, but at least look into what they’re saying to verify it, instead of just brushing them off. Because that sends the message that what they have to say isn’t important, and that can turn them into adults who turn their heads and say nothing because they “don’t want to get involved”, which often lets wrongdoers get away with the s**t they do. Please at least listen to them, and let them know what they’re saying carries some weight with you.
I thought regardless of the issue, police were always dispatched as a precaution. How awful is this :(
That is why I am glad the police department in my community will ALWAYS do a welfare check No Matter What. I had an issue with my cellphone calling 911 by accident while in my shirt pocket... they always called me back AND sent a squad to verify it was accidental.
Lobotomy was performed by Walter Jackson Freeman in 1941. The story of this man is horrifying. He was convinced that crushing people's brains with an ice pick was a revolutionary treatment for mental illness. He injured more than 3000 people.
Rosemary was not even mentally ill, according to many reports. She was simply a woman who was an independent thinker, and her father found this intolerable.
Load More Replies...An opinion shared by most of his children, especially Jack.
Load More Replies...She lived another 64 years, unable to talk, incontinent and, basically, destroyed. Shattered. They killed her, the body just didn't follow the person as closely as usual. Joseph was among the worst humans. Should have HIS brains cut to shreds instead!
Morbid Lobotomy Lesson Time: So the way they do this, and probably did Ms. Kennedy, is that they do this while you are quite conscious. This was no an icepick lobotomy, so they did not enter through the eye socket, instead entering from an incision in the top of the head. The patient is mildly sedated to make them more manageable, but mostly conscious enough to answer questions and what not. That part is important, because once they start shaving off the portion of the brain that is done in this kind of lobotomy, they need to gauge if the person is still coherent. The patient is either asked questions, asked to recite the lord's prayer, or asked to recite the alphabet while the doctor shaves off portions of the brain, and if the patient messes up, that's the doctor's cue that they need to stop shaving off more. You can see how easily this procedure would be botched like it was with poor Ms. Kennedy. An abomination by all scientific and medical standards.
oh I was wrong about the orbital socket part. though I thought it was done by slicing at the brain slowly and not shaving... still horrific
Load More Replies...Rosemary enjoyed the company of young men and that was just too embarrassing to Joe Sr and his desire to be a political powerhouse. She didn't have a mental illness.

For 2 hours the baby was in the birth canal with little to no oxygen. Rosemary did suffer brain damage. It could have been a form of autism, though that diagnosis wasn’t around yet.

This theory made absolutely no sense, and was promoted by a guy who was such a rabid, hate-filled crusader against Christianity in a nation where they were a persecuted minority, that he was arrested for hate speech and fled to Finland to avoid prosecution. The Catholic Church had stated he was free to believe and promote his theories, but he was charged with many counts of other hate speech. FWIW, short of directing violence, I oppose hate speech laws, but citing this guy as the final word is beneath contempt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer Wow, this is even more f****d up than this says. He had a twin brother (Brian) as well, who also eventually committed s*****e, and the man who was performing/monitoring the experiment on David thought that "sexual play" was important to the development of gender identity. He forced the twins to imitate sexual acts, with Brian acting out the "male" role and David the "female" role. Understandably, this traumatized them both.
Not-very-fun fact: Decades ago, doctors would often advise parents of boys with micro-penises to raise them as girls, because they thought the kid would grow up happier without the humiliation of having such a small pénis. They would get genital surgery, and in puberty be given feminine hormones. With absolutely no regard of the fact that those kids expressed that they felt like they were boys and were unhappy being forced to be girls. And nobody batted an eye. Nowadays, when a 17 year old trans teenager wants gender affirming care (in most places you need to be 18, but in some places you can be a bit younger), everybody is screaming about "a kid being forced into unnecessary surgery", yet nobody gives a fúck about the kids back then who were ACTUALLY being forced into unnecessary surgery against their will.
And that doctor continued to proclaim that case as a success even after it was shown to have caused such damage to the brothers.
Load More Replies...There's more to it; they manipulated him as a social experiment too, if I remember right and it was devastating physiologically . And all for what, because of this insane belief that parents have a right to mutilate their children's bodies? I know someone personally who got a botched one and he said he literally has almost no sexual function. My friend was deprived of a normal experience in life because it was done to his father. It's a disgusting practice!
Yeah he tried to live a normal life with wife and kids etc but then he killed himself as the trauma was too much
Load More Replies...And then he killed himself aged 38, unable to live with what had happened to him 😢
Debate over circumcision aside - what's most wild to me is that they thought the difference in sexual identity could be changed just by how the child was raised. But, I'm guessing this is the same era that made so many people think being gay was a "choice" 🤦🏽♀️ THIS is why we need trans rights folks!
It messed him up, that and not having a p***s. He ended up ending his life. He had an identical twin so there was always a reminder what he would have been without the hormone therapies and such. The Dr. was a quack who had a theory you could raise a kid either way and they'd just adapt to whatever gender parents picked. Idiot.
That's because he knows he can easily crush them with a flick of his wrists.
There was a short-lived TV miniseries that featured an episode presenting his story - portrayed believably by an actor, of course. I don't recall the name of the series; the time period in the series was 1977 when the FBI were developing a new profiling investigation unit. According to some accounts, Mr. Kemper is happy to be incarcerated; He called the authorities with a confession to his crimes when he decided they were taking too long to solve the murder cases. The authorities refused to believe him at first. But, you guessed it, Mr. Kemper knew specific details about the murders only the killer would know.

Overworked people sadly exist everywhere, the Japanese at least have the chance to live in a country where respect is very important.

FINISH THE STORY!! No human contact---then WHY was he arrested??!!! GRRRR
He was pretty near a river when he vanished. Odds are that in the dark he fell into the river and drowned.
Official theory, but a lot of investigators don't believe it: they did search the river and found nothing. In the case of a simple drowning, something would have been found - even many years later. Plus, his father who was on the phone always claimed he'd have heard him falling into the water. Him saying "Oh, sh*t!" and cutting the call suggests another (darker) theory: he accidentally wandered on a private property and came face to face with the owner pointing a gun at him thinking he was an intruder. It's a rural area with lots of deep pits, and property owners aren't legally required to let the cops search their property without a warrant (that can't be delivered unless there's enough evidence against them). It's likely the poor guy was shot and dumped somewhere his body might never ever be found.

He subsisted on tea, coffee, sparkling water, vitamins and yeast extract while living at home in Tayport, Scotland, frequently visiting Maryfield Hospital for medical evaluation. Barbieri went from 456 pounds (207 kg) to 180 pounds (82 kg), losing 276 pounds (125 kg) and setting a record for the length of a fast.
He did it under medical supervision, not all on his own. So he was getting nutritional supplements and at least some calories to burn every day. It might be and extreme way to do it, but sometimes desperate situations lead to extreme solutions. I would like to know how the rest of his life went after he lost the weight.

Load More Replies...Did the women watch the movie "Orphan" the evening before or how else do you come to such a conclusion?
The child, Natalia Grace, was born with a rare form of dwarfism (spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita.) This altered her appearance from that of a "normal" child and also sort of messed up the "determining age" test that was performed on her. But yes, I think the movie Orphan was theorized to play a part in Natalia's adoptive parents' decisions.

One man was shot and killed during a robbery. She should have been put in jail for years. 18 months probation is a joke. And worse, her managers knew about it. They should all have been fired.
And that's why it's important to provide mental health days and a chance for employees to take a day off on short notice. Not that what she did was right, but just imagine if she could have gone to her manager and say "I'm sorry, I just can't today". At least the calls would have been handled with (which they probably were because the people just called a second time, reaching a different operator).

Same thing happened in France with a r*pist. Both twins were sent to prison, though. They were in there for a while because they refused to say which one of them did it and there was no way to figure it out based on DNA. If I recall well, the case got solved when a victim mentioned a very small detail only one of them had like a speech impediment or a recent injury. The case is now being used as an example in law school because it raises important questions like, is it ethical to keep two people in prison based on DNA evidence when you know only one of them is guilty ?!
Well, if the twin who didn't do it said nothing, he protected a rap*ist and hindered the course of justice. 2 good reasons to put him in jail, too. People who protect rapi*sts deserve every bad thing life throws at them.

However, this punishment was to turn out to be an extraordinary stroke of luck when Ludger was saved because of his living arrangements that night.

Remember that idiots like this in countries with normal (aka public) health care don't have to pay a dime for treatments of their injuries....
Finish the story - at the time, he was an advocate for no helmets - so he wasn't wearing one at the time of the crash. Wear your gear, kids.
I hate boxing! Grown adults knocking the sh!t out of each other and calling it sport. Should be banned.
Ain't it horrifying that these rock musicians can have a "proper" career?
Well, we all get older, we all have our priorities change. We all also get tired of our jobs and want a change.
I personally like... who was it... the singer or guitarist for Anthrax that decided to take up watch tinkering after being done with the band and now is like an expert in his field and working on pocket watches that would make any other tinkerer drool over them.

his band name was Hat (Norwegian for Hate) and he was the lead singer of Gorgoroth, one of the very first ones at least. He was in the band between 1992 and 1994

She married the man who hid her and had children with him… by all accounts it was a normal, happy relationship and she could never really explain why she didn’t come forward sooner, only to say that she had a “complicated” relationship with her parents. Sadly, she was found dead recently from s*****e.
This occurred in Australia. Her boyfriend was 22, she was 14 - underage, which is why she hid at his house for 5 years. Not exactly wholesome - but they DID marry and have 4 kids. So, happy ending? She died in 2024 at 40 years old, not considered suspicious... Really odd all around.

It means his schvnschtucker is so big, it scared the hell out of everybody.
He still holds the record for heaviest weight of any contender in a World Championship Bout. Defeated by David Haye a former unified Cruiserweight champion. The fight was silly. David just bounced round him the whole fight and Valuev could barely land a punch due to his size and slow footwork. His career was very well 'managed' to ensure he kept winning for a while but Haye did the job.
Horrifying because there used to be fights in Duma and he had an advantage there?
Oh, come on. Censoring the word "deceased". This is getting ridiculous.
Before returning him to bed? Did they take him with them for facial or fingerprint recognition?
This occurred in the UK. There, pit bulls are illegal because they are, rarely, fatally dangerous. In response, breeders started selling XL Bullies, which are basically oversized pit bulls. What a stupid loophole. Her dog in the picture is an XL Bully. They are now in the process of being banned from the UK.
It is a fallacy that they have "locking jaws", they are not more prone to violence than any other breed of domestic dog, on the contrary, there are studies showing pitbulls are more loving towards their owners than some other breeds.

Is this including the journalists that they take the liberty of removing the eyes and internal organs of? I feel like if you ever need to say "Yeah, we removed the journalist's organs before sending her body back", you never really need to question if your government is doing something evil.

From Wiki: On April 2, 2025, he was arrested by Philippine authorities after livestreaming on Kick a series of incidents in which he harassed people in public at Bonifacio Global City, a business district in Metro Manila. During his livestreams, he was seen stealing a patrol motorcycle from a security guard, repeatedly taking a security guard's cap, stealing an electric fan from a restaurant and bringing it into a hotel, and threatening to rob a woman in public. Additionally, he also recorded himself jumping onto the roof of a moving jeepney and driving a tricycle recklessly in Manila[30][7] as well as trespassing into a McDonald's kitchen and stealing from it.[31] Zdorovetskiy was also accused of making derogatory comments and gestures toward a surfing instructor in Boracay and encouraging viewers to review bomb their local business. (But he was also imprisoned and fined multiple times for crimes such as jumping women in public and fake bomb threats)

A-hole made "trickle down" economy believable to too many other a-holes.
He released a book in 2025, "The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation… The Extraordinary Disappearance of Steven Kubacki". He says that he disappeared on purpose & details what he'd been doing in the 15-month period he was missing. The outline for the contents includes 1) A conspiracy to disappear on Lake Michigan with the intent to launch global change. 2) Encounters with spiritual guides, interdimensional beings, and power animals. 3) The rise of the NRF: a revolutionary society with a mission to liberate minds, & 4) Reflections on radicalism, idealism, and the courage to live authentically in a divided world
I mean... I'm not upset there's no follow up... The optimist in me wants to think he went on to live a normal, crime-free life.
Could be. For many murderers, that's the only serious crime they commit in their lives.

In the winter time, the population in the Florida Keys almost triple due to the number of homeless people. When I lived down there in the early 80's, I was told that most of the people living there were there for a reason, usually getting away from something in their past.

Lolita is about a 12 year old girl and a man's obsession for her. 17 years age difference, albeit a large one, doesn't make Cooper's girlfriend a 12 year old.
Well, it doesn't say how old he wasat the time. And Lolita is a book that is written from the male, predator's perspective. Which makes a person reading it not somebody that I would want my daughter to hang our with.

This listicle has the most ridiculous amount of censorship I've ever seen.
BP posting nightmarish horror stories for us to read, and at the same time censoring the 'bad words' to avoid triggering us. Maybe don't post about a woman throwing homemade napalm all over her husband then.
I stopped reading this. P****y s**n, all B***** P**** p***s wi*l l**k l**e t*is.
Unre***able. If you cannot display a key word in a ”story,” don’t publish the story.
