Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, also called Münchmeyer disease, was first discovered in 1692. It’s a condition characterized by connective tissue turning into bone over time, severely restricting movement and bodily function. Caused by a mutation of the gene ACVR1, it’s reportedly the only medical condition where tissue changes into another, and unfortunately, it has no cure.

Someone I went to high school with has this. It’s a bit of a misconception that people choose their position. She’s in a semi-reclined position, but that’s also because different joints locked up at different points in her life, so her position isn’t so much choice as the form her body took.

I wonder if it would be possible to do this in controlled environment. Use this mutation to create bones from other tissues in lab (or even in patient, idk using shots with mutated cells or something). I imagine it would be useful for i.e. reconstructing or replacing shattered bones or maybe curing patients with too brittle skeletons

Locked-In Syndrome
Locked-in syndrome is a condition where every part of the body except the eyes is paralyzed. People affected by the condition are forced to communicate through blinking or moving their eyes. Despite not being able to move, their brain function isn’t affected, so they are conscious and fully aware of their surroundings all the time.

This is terrifying to me. The article doesn’t mention that someone needs to see you using your eyes to respond to stimuli and a number of these patients aren’t diagnosed and instead treated like they’re in a coma and are not hearing and understanding what is going on around them. That’s a horrible fate. To me this is what they’re talking about when they say a fate worse than death.

I think he was paralysed after suffering a stroke, which is terrible, but it's even worse when there's no known reason, I can't explain why, but I feel it's even more terrifying. There a book called "The ghost boy" written by a person who spent more than ten years locked in. He was a young boy when he suddenly started losing the ability to move, and neither his parents nor his doctors imagined his mind was awake, and he could see and hear what was going on around him.

Joyce Vincent
Joyce Vincent was a 38-year-old British woman who was found deceased in her apartment in January 2006. Her body was discovered, “mostly skeletal,” almost three years after she passed away in 2003. Shockingly, her TV remained on all that time, and most of her bills were automatically paid, so nobody noticed she was no longer alive—until bailiffs forced entry into her apartment due to unpaid rent.
Clown fish 6 months ago
The next door neighbour complained twice because the balcony door was banging because it was open for over a month. Police went round and knocked but didn't force entry! This was the year before she was found slumped dead on the sofa Infront of the TV. The water had been cut off 2 years before they found her! No one reported any bad smell as such and they are putting it down to the balcony door being open. They should have really found her after the water was cut off.
Enuya 6 months ago (edited)
Thing with the smell is - it doesn't carry as strongly and as far away as people assume. Some years ago dr Bill Bass conducted studies to find how far from the decomposing, unburied body you have to be to smell it. In open space it was 10-20 yards (9-18 meters). In closed space, with closed windows and doors, maybe with ventilation - it's probably even less noticable, especially if you're not searchjng for it. Especially since in dry places bodies sometimes dry out instead of decomposing. (Btw I highly recommend Bass' books - amazing lecture!)

This is not the first time I heard of a single person dying in their resident and nobody noticed until we'll over a year or more. This is why you need close friends. If you suspect something isn't right or haven't heard from them in a short time, need to get a hold of the authorites so they can check upon them.
patricia patricia 6 months ago
"This is why you need close friends". No shït, Sherlock! People who are totally alone don't usually decide to live like that. it may happen as a result of mental illness, trauma, family problems, abuse, etc. Sometimes people just don't have the energy or the resources to change their circumstances. Saying they need friends is like saying a person who's drowning needs to swim.

Smile Mask Syndrome
It turns out the Smile horror movie franchise wasn’t entirely based on fiction. Smile mask syndrome is described as a mental disorder that causes physical illness and depression because of prolonged and unnatural smiling. Professor Makoto Natsume theorized that Japanese women, particularly in the service industry, were forced to smile even when under immense stress. As a result, they developed repetitive strain injuries and depression.

Coffin Birth
While the process is not fully understood and occurs very rarely, coffin birth, also known as postmortem fetal extrusion, happens when gases inside a decomposing woman’s body push out a deceased fetus. The gases responsible are carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide, which develop within two to five days after passing.

Jokesters and internet vandals have made up so many fake Wikipedia articles that there is even an entry dedicated to all the hoaxes on Wikipedia. Some hoaxes were done so expertly that they went undetected for more than 10 years! Whether the smaller ones, like changing the fact that the NASA Messenger probe orbited around Canada and not Mercury, are honest mistakes or acts of vandalism, is unknown.
But others are just too big and elaborate to be considered oopsies. One of the most famous examples is the Bicholim conflict, a supposed war between Portugal and the Maratha Empire in the 17th century.

The Diving Bell Spider
The diving bell spider is the only spider that spends almost all its life underwater. It occasionally comes up to the surface to replenish its oxygen or to eat its prey. When it’s underwater, it uses an air bubble trapped by the hair on its stomach and legs to breathe. Allegedly, its bite is excruciating to humans and causes symptoms like vomiting and inflammation for about five to ten days.

The Hinterkaifeck Murders
The Hinterkaifeck Murders are reportedly the most gruesome unsolved crimes in Germany. In 1922, on a Bavarian farmstead, six members of a family were fatally struck with a pickaxe by an unknown perpetrator. For three days, the assailant lived and ate in the house with the corpses. When the bodies were eventually found, four of them had been stacked up in the barn with the pickaxe left above them in the loft.

St. Vitus' dance. I looked this up once for some reason, and was since under the impression it is caused by ergot poisoning (also known as St. Antonius' Fire).
Nicole Weymann 6 months ago
That's one explanation. According to Wikipedia there's an argument that "this theory does not seem tenable, since it is unlikely that those poisoned by ergot could have danced for days at a time. Nor would so many people have reacted to its psychotropic chemicals in the same way. The ergotism theory also fails to explain why almost every outbreak occurred somewhere along the Rhine and Moselle rivers, areas linked by water but with quite different climates and crops." An alternative explanatione is Stress-induced mass hysteria (which presents its own questionmarks)

Premature Burial
Being buried alive is a frightening thing to imagine, and is reportedly one of the most common phobias in the world. People throughout history have been buried alive unintentionally through accidents and natural disasters, and as a method of execution in wars. In recent years, escape artists and even YouTubers like Mr Beast have voluntarily buried themselves alive.
The Scout 6 months ago
While the fear of premature burial was very widespread especially in the 19th century, the occurence itself was exteremly rare. But it lead to a lot of literature (Poe's "Buried alive" and "The Cask of Amontillado" come to mind) and even a lot of stange contraptions from grave alarm systems to crypts with an autonomous air and water supply. Doctors even commonly carried a "heart knife" to apply a heart stab to patients they considered dead before burial to avoid this.

Correction to this: the cameras caught him outside while ENTERING the bar, but never filmed him leaving. There was a case similar to this in Illinois a couple years back. The man's mother was up in arms, trying to pin his murder on a couple of guys who got into a shouting match with him outside the bar he was at. Mind you this happened in the middle of winter, near lake Michigan, and he was reportedly extremely inebriated. Cameras in the area picked him up while he stumbled along for several blocks, then *poof* nothing. I can't recall if they ever found him, but most believe he stumbled into the lake and drowned.

Roch Theriault
The Wikipedia page on Roch Theriault describes him as a self-proclaimed prophet and the founder of a cult called the Ant Hill Kids. In the ‘80s, the cult had about 40 members, with over 20 of them being children he fathered with 9 female members. He started off as a motivational leader, but became an abusive tyrant because of a drinking problem. When cult members strayed, they would be punished in extreme and violent ways, like having their toes cut off by other members. In 1989, he was arrested and charged with the gruesome murder of a female member.

The Murder Of Helle Crafts
Helle Craft, a 39-year-old flight attendant, was murdered by her husband, Richard Craft. A private investigator she had hired to uncover her husband’s infidelity eventually alerted law enforcement to Richard’s likely involvement. Fragments of Helle’s body, like a tooth, bone chips, tissue, and hair, were found near a lake where Richard had been spotted using a woodchipper. Richard was sentenced to 50 years in prison for her murder in 1989, but was eventually released on good behavior in 2020.

Scaphism
Scaphism is an ancient Persian method of execution that was first given as punishment by King Artaxerxes II. It involved confining the victim between two boats, with only their arms and head sticking out. The victim would then be force-fed milk and honey, while having it smeared all over them. Thereafter, they'd be left out in the scorching sun to fester and be devoured by insects and rodents.

Project Artichoke
Project Artichoke was a mind control program developed by the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) in 1951. It was used to determine whether a person could be forced into attempting an assassination after being drugged and hypnotized. The CIA would run experiments on human test subjects and sometimes, even their own agents. One agent was allegedly kept on LSD for seventy-seven days without their knowledge or consent, and probably developed amnesia like the other test subjects in the program.

The page itself is scary long with some really dreadful stuff. Oh, and ever stop to wonder why they set off the nukes in Nevada instead of some remote Pacific island?

There's a number of these on various frequencies. They're called number stations, and run by several countries. They are part of a spy network, and the numbers most likely correspond to instructions on code pads. There are also radio stations that only broadcast a carrier wave. Those are part of a "dead man switch" To trigger a full nuclear launch if the country were to be hit by a successful first strike. The EMP would shut down enough stations that it would trigger the launches automatically.

Therefore any civilisation that is capable of dealing with that will be so advanced that they will be to us what we are to ants. It is pure human hubris that makes us think that such creatures would be the slightest bit interested in this dinky backwater planet orbiting an utterly unremarkable star. Plus the time and resources involved would mean that if some alien creature did visit, it would likely do it the one time, not often enough to rack up tens of thousands of sightings and an equal number of worried cows.
