We love a good horror film as much as the next person, but there’s something about knowing the story is fictional that makes it a tad bit less frightening. We have no reason to actually fear Pennywise the Clown or Freddy Krueger because we know they’re not real (or at least that’s what we remind ourselves). But if someone tells us a scary story about a paranormal experience one recently had or throws out some creepy facts, we’ll be sleeping with the lights on for weeks.
But we know y’all secretly love scary facts, dear pandas. And if you’re interested in expanding your knowledge of the dark and disturbing, you’re in luck. Today, we’re listing some of the creepiest and most terrifying facts shared on the Horror Facts Instagram account. From disturbing film trivia to photos of real-life nightmares, this list is full of photos that might make you want to turn the lights on before heading to bed tonight.
Keep reading to find an interview we were lucky enough to receive from horror expert and creator of the Knifepoint Horror podcast, Soren Narnia. Be sure to upvote the photos that have you feeling spooked, and feel free to share any more creepy facts you know in the comments section.

I remember this story. Why has there been no book or film written about her story? Even had she not ultimately found her son, she had an impact upon so many lives. Finding him, after doing so much for so many, is the ultimate frosting on the cake for book, film, or tv special. But, I find nothing other than the news reports of the time. Certainly, this is a story worth telling in more detail. Why hasn’t it been?

Why are humans like this? Did we have a terrifying common enemy in the distant past that's caused us to be so hostile? Or is it just pure greed. I'll put my money on the latter, people have been murdered over a £5 debt before.
Everyone says truth is stranger than fiction, but did you know that truth is also scarier than fiction? Don’t get us wrong, Stephen King is our favorite writer, too, and the film adaptations of his stories are always incredibly captivating.

There's more to this story. He was actually flown a DAY after the accident from South Dakota to North Memorial Hospital in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota. They were still able to attach the arms after a significant delay between the accident and the replantation. Sadly, after several years, he ultimately did lose one of his arms, but if I ever lose a limb, take me to North because they are experts at that surgery.

I just got back from a beach vacation with the fam. The water was very clear, as it hadn't rained in a while to put sediment in the water. For four days straight, you could watch a large shark swim slowly up and down the beach, back and forth. Mind you, it didn't seem like it wanted to bother anybody. People were swimming in the water, and they would just kind of get out of it's way when it would go past. But the flags were yellow, and there were no alerts by the authorities. The only warnings the swimmers had were the other people on the beach pointing and waving at them. *Never trust the yellow flags!* I've seen a man die in a rip current during a yellow flag.

Behind the Mic of the Knifepoint Horror Podcast
To gain insight for this article, we contacted a real-life horror enthusiast, creator, producer, and performer of the Knifepoint Horror podcast, Soren Narnia. When it comes to what inspired Soren to create this spooky show in the first place, this is what he told Bored Panda:
“I started my podcast mostly as a way to work around the gatekeepers and bring the stuff I’d written directly and easily to an audience. What I’ve come to like most about it is the sense of giving someone a lift during their day, bringing a little comfort food into a rough world—and one thing I’ve learned is that horror can totally be comfort food.”
He also explained what kind of spooky stories he likes to share on the podcast: “All my stories are fictional, but the fears I write about are always very real,” Soren explained. “I’m trying to come up with a slightly different take on traditional horror tropes every time, and unless I think of that new take, I try not to write at all.”
Soren also shared: “I think maybe my favorite story I’ve done in recent years might be ‘The Smoke Child,’ which is about an old legend possibly/maybe emerging into the modern day to wreak havoc,” Soren shared. “It’s got plenty of fear-of-what’s-out-there-in-the-dark stuff, which is the only really scary thing I’ve experienced personally—the very traditional and ever-persistent trepidation of not knowing what the dark holds.”

Very sad, we adults should definitely smile and laugh more. However, please do not put such a pressure and threat on others, who are NOT responsible for quite the selfish decision of another person. A person who actually commits such a tragic deed has it all planned out before pretty well and there are much deeper issues at hand than the lack of smiles.

It's also possible that he was so depressed he walked with his head down and didn't see anyone smile because of that. I'm very depressed and I rarely go out and when I do I never look up at people, just have my head down. So even if someone smiled at me I wouldn't know

I like to smile at people all the time, especially if they look sad, because when I was depressed I realised how little people smiled. I am in hospital a lot and always smile at staff and other patients and often the people smile back and then when I see them a little later they are still looking happier. I've had staff say that after I smiled at them and they smiled back, they felt happier for the rest of their shift. This is what makes me smile more. Seeing this post makes me want to do it more.

We were also curious about Soren’s take on why we’re so drawn to horror stories. “I’m 90% certain the reason we love horror is because it gives us a safe brush with death that we can jump back from safely and laugh about later. If that’s not the reason, then the human mind is even stranger than I think,” he told Bored Panda.
Soren is also a fan of haunted houses, so if any of you pandas out there stage haunted house attractions, take note. “I have to say I’m totally digging three things: The laser effect that makes it seem like you’re up to your waist in mist; anytime you have to walk through the interior of a spooky bus; the rotating tunnel effect, which messes with my balance every time. But can we give clowns an amnesty for just one year, maybe...?”

There's such a thing as nose blindness where you get so accustomed to a smell or smells that eventually you stop smelling them. She was a hoarder so the smell of other things probably just all blended together and eventually she couldn't smell anything unusual. As for the moving out and telling your parents part, that would depend on the kind of relationship that you have with them.

The Psychology Behind Our Love for Horror
Most of us don’t go out seeking horrifying experiences in our daily lives. Still, when it comes to the media we consume, many of us love true crime documentaries that are too unbelievable to be true and horror films that scare us to turn out the lights.
Just look at the Jeffrey Dahmer series that hit Netflix and soon became the streaming site’s second-most-watched series ever. But why do we have such an insatiable appetite for spooky stories and scary facts?
According to psychologists, several common explanations exist for why we are drawn to the scary and unsettling. Horror scholar Mathias Clasen believes that part of our fascination can be traced back to the fact that our ancient ancestors experienced constant danger in the environments that they lived in.
They were required to always be vigilant to stay alive, allowing us to evolve with excellent threat-detection systems. While most of us don’t encounter real threats daily, it can be fun to stimulate that ancient part of us that did and live vicariously through other characters. We might enjoy considering how we would react in their situations and wondering if we could make it out alive.

How Are We Affected by the Horror Media?
One of the earliest psychological theories used to explain why we love being scared so much is Dolf Zillmann’s excitation transfer theory. Essentially, this theory states that horror media increases our levels of physiological arousal due to the fear that it causes, and then after the viewing experience has ended, the relief we experience causes a euphoric high. There are studies to confirm this theory as well, at least for men.
According to Glenn G. Sparks’s article “The Relationship Between Distress and Delight in Males’ and Females’ Reactions to Frightening Films,” the more distressed male viewers became while watching a scary movie, the happier they felt after finishing the film. Catharsis is a powerful thing, and if you’ve been sitting in a movie theater building up tension for two and a half hours, it might feel pretty good to finally know that you made it out safely and unscathed and you have nothing to fear anymore.

Another potential reason we love horror is the idea of exploring the dark side of humanity. We are naturally curious about what we don’t understand, and it can be fascinating to hear a story that is so disturbing we could have never dreamed it up ourselves.
Stories of ghosts, ghouls, murderers, and evil in general are captivating because, thankfully, most of us have no experiences with those things in real life that lead us to believe we should actually be scared of them. They don’t usually feel real; they just feel excited.

Can you imagine being the doctor at the time delivering this baby - (or whoever it was delivered him, midwife, family member etc) seeing a neck come out first with a head and no body... before the second head with attached body came out? Not in any way mocking or trying to be rude but I'd imagine that doctor had somewhat of a heart attack during that process. Thinking you'd just delivered a neck with a head that's crying etc but no body... I think that's pretty heart attack inducing.

Unfortunately, the airing of that episode was soon after the release of the Wizard of Oz, and children were still traumatized by the images of Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch of the West character, and showing her being able to have an affect on the world of Sesame Street—combined with the “ticking time bomb” trope in the form of the Wicked Witch losing her broom and threatening to turn Big Bird into a feather duster if she doesn't get it back in time—so I can understand the fears. It’s a shame they didn’t use Fred Roger’s approach to the character and this fear of her.

People React to Horror Differently
Not everyone is equally excited by horror stories and scary facts, though. Some of us are more drawn to frightening tales than others. Usually, people high in sensation-seeking are likelier to enjoy a horror film than those who often avoid novel, risky, or intense experiences.
People with lower empathy levels also usually appreciate a horrifying tale more than those who are highly empathetic. That doesn't mean that empathic people hate scary movies or that only psychopaths like watching them, but the experience of seeing a frightening film can be more painful for people who quickly put themselves into the characters’ shoes.

Future or Final Journey?
censorshipsucks 3 years ago
The purpose of this is to allow humans to end their suffering if they are terminally ill. This is not frivolous at all. We "put animals to sleep" when they have something terminal and/or are suffering incurably. The argument from the relevant advocacy groups says that humans should have the same right, viz., to die with dignity. Personally, if I had pancreatic cancer, I'd be happy to get a fast way out.
Little Wonder 3 years ago
I've often argued this. When my dog's kidneys started to fail, he was in pain and his quality of life was zero and we had him put to sleep to end his suffering. At that time, it wasn't legal to do the same with a person in the same painful, no quality of life situation. My state (Victoria) has made it legal now, with strict rules for when someone can access medically assisted suicide. it's a great step forward.

I watched my mother die a horrific and painful protracted death from metastatic breast cancer. In the end, her digestive system went into reverse and she was vomiting faeces. She begged to be given an overdose of morphine but the nurses had to set the dosage on the pump and lock it away. I’m sure they wanted to help but they just weren’t allowed to. In the end she refused water and dehydrated over 6 long nightmarish days till she passed. To anyone who opposes euthanasia, I hope that you never have to go through what she did, but I’ll fight you all the way if you try to stop people ending their lives and force them to suffer like that.

My first husband had had 3 heart attacks, his diabetes had caused multi organ failure but his brain was still working. He was suffering and absolutely terrified about dying. He pulled out his iv's several times because of his pain. His body was dying but his brain refused to accept it. After hours of this his daughter who was a nurse arrived to say her last goodbyes to him and he refused to see her. I talked to her and said wasn't there anything that could be done to let him pass peacefully. She said yes but she didn't know the doctors here so we'd have to ask his doctor together. His doctor agreed with us and my soulmate was given a large dose of morphine which was enough to calm him down so we could tell him how much we loved him and I told him how grateful I was for him coming into my life. Then the doctor gave him another large dose of morphine which sent him to sleep and he passed away peacefully.

Jeannine Pope 3 years ago (edited)
Having worked in hospice in the US, what many of you are describing are deaths where the pain was poorly managed. A hospice has to have a good medical director who is not afraid to use the full gamut of pain management. The doctors I have known have used morphine and fentanyl to ease people's pain. I have been at the bedside where people were dying and not suffering nearly 100% of the time. Morphine does not kill a person. It allows them to calm down and release into the dying process, and it is a process. In states where assisted suicide is now a possibility, you have to move there and live there long enough to have the law be applicable to you and you have to have your mental faculties to initiate the chemical processes to kill yourself (push the buttons). Which means you may have to go sooner than when your body is actively dying. Therefore, I think having someone who explicitly knows you like a loved one and is clear that you want your pain 100% managed and a good hospice and palliative care organization is a better situation.

I've never bought this. Skeletons disarticulate once the soft tissue has gone, unless someone goes to the trouble of carefully wiring them together like a medical specimen.

There are so many creator interviews on this FFS: Articulated skeletons from medical supply houses are cheap. Are some of the warehouse's skeletons unethically sourced? Maybe. Most are there by the person's consent while they are still alive. All the "soft tissue" was added after the fact via special affects. And real skeletons, from the same sources, are used in all sorts of media because yes, making fake bone look real on camera is really, really HARD. And the harder a skill, the more money the artist deserves. Paying for fake realistic skeletons would have bankrupted many, many films including the classic Poltergeist.
Horror Media Can Help to Cope With Stress
Contrary to what many might assume, consuming horror media can be therapeutic. According to one study, people who frequently watched horror movies were less psychologically distressed by the pandemic.
People who were fans of the apocalyptic horror subgenre also felt more prepared for the additional waves of pandemic. Apparently, people who are familiar with being exposed to horror and fear develop the ability to cope with stressful and anxiety-inducing situations.

2nd true story. I was in Mexico on my senior trip, 17 yrs old, drunk after partying, and standing less than knee deep in the water on the beach. There was lightening in the distance. Next thing I knew, my feet went out from under me, it was dark for a few seconds, then I surfaced and saw I'd been sucked out about a half mile by a riptide. I'm a very strong competitive swimmer. But in the stormy ocean I struggled fully clothed. A US marine happened to be nearby. He jumped in. And drug Me to a nearby rock jetty and we both got out. Then he held me there till the police showed up. Apparently they thought I'd jumped in on purpose. I hadn't. Rip tide is no joke. I didn't realize rock jetties create them sometimes. Really shocked Me obviously. Be aware of rip tides. They aren't always posted with a sign or known.

The Excitement of Being Scared, According to Neuroscience
According to Irving Biederman, a specialist in cognitive neuroscience and a Professor of Neuroscience at USC, being scared can be exciting and addictive. “We like novelty, something that departs from our everyday experience,” he told USC News. “Some of the attraction of being scared comes from the deviation of having a new experience that we know is safe.”
But we have to understand that what we’re witnessing isn't real. Otherwise, we won’t gain any enjoyment from it. “Your amygdala will give you a fear response, an avoidance response to stay away from something legitimately frightful,” Biederman explained. “So, for a child, going to one of these haunted houses could be truly scary.”

The Modern Manifestations of Our Fears
What we find most frightening also provides some insight into our societies. Tok Thompson, an anthropology and communication associate professor at USC Dornsife, explained that each generation and culture will create monsters most relevant to their fears. “There’s an interesting role these monsters play in shaping our cultures,” he told USC News.
“And people are constantly reinventing these stories to talk about what they fear and are haunted by,” Thompson notes. In recent years, evil robots and internet monsters, like Slender Man and shows like Black Mirror, have been on the rise. “When these new monsters come up, that shows you people aren’t too sure about some of this new technology, that maybe there is something to be frightened about.”

Cold Case Curiosity

My theory is that he got neglected or abused by his parents. Was taken away by CPS (because his nails and hair were cut) but the parents fought to get him back home. They than hit him until his skull broke. Considering the bloat on his hands and feet they treid to drown his body but because of the gassing it didn't work so they hid him in the forest. The parents saw the news but didn't have any care to say it's their child. They didn't say it's theirs because the investigators would have eventually found out that the parents killed him.
JMC5003 3 years ago
No CPS in 1957. Children in the US were still basically the chattel of their father. If I remember my research correctly, there had only been either 2 or 3 cases of parents being prosecuted for abusing their children until the early 1960's in the US. If you were a child, you were the properly of your father.

A woman came forward with a story about the boy and many parts of her story actually line up with evidence in the case, she was dismissed because she's mentally ill. They need to reinvestigate her claims and either completely rule it out or follow the leads in her storythat match the evidence, just because she is mentally ill doesn't mean that she should be automatically dismissed or accused of lying.

But eventually, one of the other nuns had a problem with this, and drama ensued...

I don't know, I just feel like a museum where you can see crime scene photos is kind of weird.

I just don't think that it's right. It could just be the personal beliefs of my culture, but I just don't think that basically showcasing where somebody died, they were a real person that had feelings, is really okay.

Bears can smell any person from some distance whether menstruating or not. According to the NIH, "Bears are thought to have the best sense of smell of any animal on earth. For example, the average dog's sense of smell is 100 times better than a human's. A blood hound's is 300 times better. A bear's sense of smell is 7 times better than a blood hound's or 2,100 times better than a human's." According to the US National Park Service, "With 300 to 500 bears roaming Yosemite at any given time, it's more than likely that at least one of them are smelling you at all times."

According to this forensic guy, he thinks it has to do with more serial killers actually being identified as serial killers, and not just one-time murderers. According to him, there aren't actually a disproportionate amount of serial killers in the states compared to other countries, just that America is open about their crime records and willing to share information with other precincts. Serial killers tend to move around to not get caught, and the authorities would have to be able to able to fit different crimes together from different areas in order to identify one. https://www.aetv.com/real-crime/why-more-serial-killers-in-us-than-other-countries

This is something of a paradox. If people are able to live to be 1000 years old and people keep breeding as they are, then there will be global shortages of food, water, medicine and housing. This will lead to people dying younger and so, few if any, will actually make it to 1000.
