50 Creepy Facts About The World We Live In That Prove Reality Is Scarier Than Fiction
Interview
Some people’s brains enjoy experiencing fear, while others, not so much. It all comes down to brain chemistry, as those who enjoy thrilling, scary, and risky situations get a dopamine kick out of such experiences.
We believe our pandas to be very brave, that’s why we compiled a whole list of creepy and borderline scary facts, courtesy of the ‘Creepy Information’ Instagram account. Scroll down to find them below, and don’t say that we didn’t warn ya!
While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with Sadie Hartmann, horror lover, author, and co-owner of Night Worms, who kindly agreed to chat with us about all things creepy and frightening.

Interest in fear-inducing or potentially dangerous things is called morbid curiosity.
“That could be things that are fictionally dangerous, that kind of tap into our minds a little bit, or things that are actually dangerous, like the things we read on the news or hear about from others,” explained behavioral scientist Dr. Coltan Scrivner.
Interestingly enough, he says that most people have a pretty moderate amount of morbid curiosity.

Dr. Scrivner even came up with his own Morbid Curiosity Scale and test to evaluate how many people are morbidly curious, which you can also take here, if you’re curious!
During it, he presents his respondents with statements like, ‘If a head transplant was possible, I would want to watch the procedure’ and ‘I am curious how a Ouija board works’ and asks them to rank them from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree.’
From this test and his research, he was able to find out that most people are morbidly curious. “Some people have a lot and some people have a little bit, and this has been true not just in the U.S. but in other countries as well, including Canada, Brazil, Denmark, and several other countries that have taken this test.”

Honey Badgers are bad*ss survivors and don't give a flying Philadelphia f*ck. They're scary.
After completing the test itself, I found out that the overall morbid curiosity score is 4.42, and since the maximum on the scale is 6, we can say that people are pretty morbidly curious.
But, hey! It’s nothing to be worried about. “I think morbid curiosity is sometimes talked about as if it’s this fringe trait or a fringe thing that only some people have. But in all the research I’ve done, if you give people, for example, the Morbid Curiosity Scale, you find that morbid curiosity is pretty normally distributed, meaning that most people have a pretty moderate amount of morbid curiosity,” said Dr. Scrivner.

Through his research, he also found out that only a small part of horror fandom seeks out scary experiences because they get an adrenaline or dopamine rush. Most do it because they feel like they can learn something from it.
“A lot of people feel as if they learned something about themselves and sort of develop as a person through these experiences. And so you hear about this in real tragedies a lot, this kind of post-traumatic growth or ‘I’m glad I went through this so that, because I learned something and I grew as a person,’ Dr. Scrivner explained.

Seriously? He wasn't a draft dodger. He actually tried to enlist twice (under his legal name - Sylvester is his middle name) in Florida and again in Philadelphia. He was denied enlistment both times because he had medical issues that caused him to not pass the physical - doctors used forceps on him during birth, which caused paralysis of the lower left side of his face (including parts of his lip, tongue, and chin) which gave him his signature snarling look and slurred speech.

To find out more about why people like morbid, creepy, and scary things, Bored Panda reached out to Sadie Hartmann, horror lover, author, and co-owner of Night Worms.
She tells us that what draws her to horror is the fact that it helps her manage her anxieties.
"I am an anxious person who manages a lot of fears and phobias, so reading horror is a way I get to live adventurously without too much risk involved. I might have a nightmare or feel like I need to lock all my windows and doors, but for the most part, reading horror allows me to engage with real-life fears in a healthy and safe way."

Sadie also shares that her favorite kind of scary stories to consume are about people who have gone missing in national parks.
"Many of these people have never been found, and their cases have gone cold or unsolved for decades.
Sometimes the ones who have been found have no memory of what happened or have something odd about them, like they aren't wearing shoes but their feet are relatively clean, or they are way too many miles away from their last known location. It's just a very unsettling topic with a lot of information that completely freaks me out."

it's creepy how that hairless chimp looks almost like just some naked guy
Neopet22 6 months ago
Chimps are honestly terrifying. I remember seeing in a nature show how they chased a smaller species of monkey and killed it. We also had a story in my home country,one of the zoo's had a chimp enclosure but you could only see the chimps from above on sort of a bridge and they had a big compound with a tree in the middle. There was a guy who was cleaning the enclosure from above with some sort of stick and kept bugging the baby,like poking at it. The dad chimpanzee got made and climbed the stick,he assaulted the guy,I heard he tore his balls off and the guy ran away and hid in the bathroom until the cops came and shot the poor chimp.
Some say that too much of a good thing is a bad thing, so we were curious to know if Sadie thinks that it pertains to consuming scary or creepy content as well.
"I think it's just the opposite. I believe that horror fiction's greatest mission is to raise the stakes high enough to get readers emotionally invested in the plight of the characters. Horror activates our empathy.
It's my understanding that people who write and read a lot of horror are some of the most empathetic, caring, and generous people I know," she says.

Several other normal and exotic pets were found in the apartment, including an alligator named Al in another bedroom. Ming was taken to Noah's Lost Ark Animal Sanctuary in Berlin Center, Ohio, where he died from natural causes in February 2019. He was buried at the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.

One of the very first work comp claims I handled was Hand in Meat Grinder. I asked him, why did you open a running meat grinder and stick your hand in? He said, I thought it would turn off!

I was working in as a cashier at this vape shop. I was talking to a customer about one of the tanks on display, when suddenly he starts complaining to me about how some workers at a local meat packing plant would deliberately get their limbs chopped off for insurance. Apparently he was a manager there and claimed a guy there had just recently done this. I'm standing there not knowing what to say, and wondering how this harmless conversation about the TFV16 could take such a dark turn. He leaves right after ranting to me, and right after that these 2 guys walked in... And one of them has a freshly bandaged stump where a right arm used to be! They didn't stay long, didn't buy anything, but the whole time I'm wanting to ask the guy if he worked at that plant.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted here - what you said is a statement of fact without bias. I’m not sure this is the same study as it’s incredibly technical but I think it is - no matter really as a similar procedure is undertaken “ PTEN−/−mice were then subjected to spinal cord crush (SCC) (T8)” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20112-4.epdf?sharing_token=1L_RjSE659ZFb7yqsUGy-NRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OD8EQi1GjIW5gGDxjo-0Niib1_NxvZ9syX2oTgThU9LWEQ_SWzZNz2uSgzH2N0AJC0VcKPe9iU22saALcedvJ7aBE8dqO_QM6HgFKw0lGYYA2kTzGarGG0L_7RQ-TKF_w%3D Personally I support animal testing to a certain extent others may not but denying the fact it happens not only allows it to continue but imho takes away from the suffering of the animals.

Species survival. Let's not assign human concepts like monogamy to animals. And while this can happen there's plenty of male foxes with multiple females or finding another female after their mate d!es.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 6 months ago
Yep. It's the same reason why the females of many species (including many mammals) will abandon a litter of offspring in times of famine/stress/threat. Better for a single litter of offspring to perish rather than a breeding-age female to die, as the adult female will produce offspring again. It sounds horrible to us humans, but we're societal creatures who have other members of our "society" to help look out for our offspring and hopefully provide food (plus we generally only produce a few singleton offspring within our lifespans, vs. a cat or fox who will have many litters with many cubs/kittens, so our offspring are more individually "valuable" to our species.)

Honestly, I almost get it. I had a dentist drill too deep for a filling and it impacted the nerve, and I cannot even begin to describe the pain. I had a co-worker pity me and give me some of his prescription Vicodin because he could see how much pain I was in, and it didn't even do a thing. When I went to the emergency dentist, before I even finished checking in someone came out and gave me a numbing injection because the staff was uncomfortable seeing me in that much agony.

"According to the boy's mother, Lillian McDonald, the boy had wandered out of the family's yard. She called the police, and authorities began searching for the boy. A woman named Beverly Murdock ran to a police station to report that she spotted a baby in the ocean, in a seaweed patch. She described the boy's clothing and it matched what Lillian had told police. John McDonald [the father] ran back and forth on the beach and Lilian restrained him from dashing into the ocean. The boy was not immediately found, and the search was suspended that night. John and Lillian refused to leave the beach even when it became too dark to search. The child's body was not found until April 12, which was ten days after his disappearance. On April 12, 1954, a woman spotted the boy's body bobbing on the surf near her home. Her home was more than 1 mi (1.6 km) away from where the boy had gone missing; she pulled the body from the water and called the police."

Unfortunately, this piece of sh!t entered an Alford plea (which is a guilty plea entered in criminal court, whereby a defendant in a criminal case does not admit to the criminal act and asserts innocence, but accepts imposition of a sentence.) So unfortunately the prosecution couldn't even pursue the death penalty. Sessoms was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

On average, it is less than 8 people per year, even if we take it conservatively and put 66 years of work (actually it was closer to 68.5). I also got really interested in his age - he worked as executioner for almost 70 years. My thought process was - either he started really early, or lived and was strong for quite long time. So, he was born on 1779 and started serving as executioner after his 17th birthday. He left this position being 85, and died being 90. That is impressive even with current medical achievements.

There's no debate at all. They have two separate brains, thus are two separate people sharing one lower body. The body could have 45 heads, and as long as each brain was separate and not conjoined, that head/brain would be a separate person.

Graphic Warning - A Muscatine, Iowa, woman accused of sexually molesting her 8-year-old son on tape and selling the video to a Valparaiso-area man has pleaded not guilty and demanded her right to a speedy trial. Her trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 18. Jessica Rochelle Peters, 33, entered the written plea Sept. 13 in Muscatine County District Court. Peters was arrested after Henry Winchip, 76, of the Valparaiso area, was arrested for allegedly paying Peters for photos and videos of the act. He faces felony charges of child exploitation and possession of child pornography. The boy told investigators his father forced them to do the videos and that his mother "fake child molested him." The father had not been charged. The child said the videos were shot at their apartment and a hotel where they lived in Muscatine. The boy said his father would sometimes hold the phone to record the videos, and other times his mother would record the videos when they were alone.
