You've probably already heard of the internet’s beloved corner of Reddit known as “Oddly Terrifying,” which is home to a whopping 2.5M members. The community is dedicated to sending chills down people’s spines by sharing images that are hard to look at, yet tempting to watch, in a strange way.

“It’s hard for us to look away from unsettling photos and videos because they challenge our usual ways of perceiving and cataloging the world, disrupting our sense of ordered reality and even suggesting that reality might be something other than we thought it was,” Lisa Yaszek, a Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech, previously explained the phenomenon to Bored Panda.

This time we wrapped up the newest batch of oddly terrifying images, so pull your seat closer! After you’re done, more of the same goodness awaits in our previous features here and here.

    I'm guessing this was to prevent grave robbing, which was very common years ago. Edit: Just Googled these. Apparently they're called mortsafes and were common in Victorian Britain to prevent body snatchers. Back then medical schools and such would pay good money for a dead body for research so people would dig up and steal the bodies of recently dead people to sell. Like Burke and Hare, but they didn't rob graves but killed people to sell instead.

    Trichinosis I guess. Though the patient having eaten raw pork for 10 years doesn't really make a difference. You just have to eat the wrong raw pork once to catch this little bugger and then the severity of the decease depends on how your body handles things. The worm larvae are encapsulated so they're protected from stomach acids and only come out after they've moved to the intestines.

    It is very likely this was never used as a cell but as a latrine instead. To post an excerpt: "An example of what might be popularly termed an "oubliette" is the particularly claustrophobic cell in the dungeon of Warwick Castle's Caesar's Tower, in central England. The access hatch consists of an iron grille. Even turning around (or moving at all) would be nearly impossible in this tiny chamber. However, the tiny chamber that is described as the oubliette, is in reality a short shaft which opens up into a larger chamber with a latrine shaft entering it from above. This suggests that the chamber is in fact a partially backfilled drain. The positioning of the supposed oubliette within the larger dungeon, situated in a small alcove, is typical of garderobe arrangement within mediaeval buildings. These factors perhaps point to this feature being the remnants of a latrine rather than a cell for holding prisoners."

    In Europe, so-called “activists” like to tape themselves to busy streets in the middle of rush hour to raise awareness of climate change. Currently, they even go so far as to attach themselves to priceless museum treasures such as Raphael's "Sistine Madonna". Needless to say, these people are not very popular in Europe.
