In life, there are certain things that might scare us. For some, it could be spiders; for others, it could be public speaking. Regardless, we try our best to stay away from our fears. But what happens when you accidentally learn about terrifying things?
Recently, a Reddit user posted on the platform, asking everyone, "What's a creepy fact you wish you never learned?". Folks online didn’t hold back and immediately started sharing unpleasant things that made their skin crawl. Today, Pandas, we’ve collected some of their most intriguing answers. But let us warn you: they might send a shiver down your spine.

Dolphins are known to be quite intelligent, but they can also be cruel. In some cases, they've been documented killing baby dolphins of other pods, seemingly for fun.

The more I learn about dolphins the more I'm convinced they're just sea people.

If you have abdominal surgery and the surgeon needs your intestines out of the way they don't try to get them back in exactly as they were. They can put them in pretty much any old way and they sort themselves out.
Then freaked out even more when someone else commented that you can quite often feel them wriggling themselves back into position.

Learning that some plants can actually communicate with each other. Suddenly, my herb garden feels a lot more like a gossip column.

Some people are born with a malformed mass of veins in their brain called an AVM and they have no idea unless it's seen on a CT or MRI. Then one day it can burst without warning and that happy healthy person can die, suffer brain damage, paralysis, etc. No warning.
This happened to my 22yo niece yesterday, she is in a coma now. It's heartbreaking.

The inside of a sea turtle's mouth/throat looks like something straight out of a horror movie monster. Absolutely covered in spines. (They swallow a lot of sea water when eating food, which they then vomit back out. The spines keep the food in but let the water out.).

I had to have a C-Section when our daughter was born and heard one doctor say to the other doctor: “Pass me the uterus, I’m gonna clean it.” Still don’t know whether my uterus was actually lifted out, still don’t want to know.

My ex had our baby via c-section, and I watched. One of the more disturbing parts of it was her uterus laying on her chest, while two interns picked pieces of placenta off of it as they were discussing where they were going to go get lunch.

When you are in the process of dying, the last part of your brain function to go is related to your hearing. Essentially, you can hear everything around you, but you're locked in. Whether you can comprehend it is for a person much smarter than me to answer. But imagine understanding that the people around you are mourning and all you can do is listen. Or even worse, theres nobody.

You’ve probably heard a fact about how 70% of the human body is water. We basically know this because of a Japanese general who roasted people in an oven.
#10
That one misfolded protein can wind up rendering a brain about as useful as rotting cheese.
#11
Fatal familial insomnia. Creepy disease that just don't let you sleep. You start seeing hallucinations till you die. This disease is hereditary and you can't find symptoms. This disease destroying sleep sells, so you can't just take sleeping pills. There is a book about this disease: "family that couldn't sleep". This family was very big and they watched how their children dies. Very creepy.

Michael Jackson's hair lit on fire at the exact halfway point of his life. 25yrs, 4 mos and 29 days.

Loa loa, the African Eye Worm, can invade the human eye. Adults are between 1 and 2.5 inches long.
#14
There are more cells in your body that belong to other things like bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites than actual human cells. Some are beneficial, some harmful, and most are just along for the ride. Also we’re riddled with microplastics so that’s fun too.
