50 Times Real-Life Events Were So Blood Chillingly Creepy People Had To Share Them Online
When you think of creepy and scary things, what first comes to mind? A big spider coming down on your bed from the ceiling? The possibility of a clown peeking at you from the sewer? Or is it things like government corruption and biological warfare?
According to a 2022 YouGov poll, Americans share many fears, and the number one is snakes. A whopping 30% of Americans say they have a fear of snakes, followed by heights (28%), spiders (24%), and public speaking (23%).
You probably won't find these in this list, though, because the r/truecreepy community often go for the uncanny, bizarre real-life stories, and horror movie-like aesthetics. We've collected the creepiest entries from the subreddit, and present them to you here to satisfy your morbid curiosity!

A Slow Descent Into Alzheimer’s Disease
Self-portraits reveal artist's descent into Alzheimer's disease
Tragic. I am however impressed that even his last portrait is a thousand times better than I could achieve.
Bryan Charnley, who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, did something similar documenting the progression of his condition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Charnley https://www.bryancharnley.info/self-portraits-2/charnley_self_portrait_series_01/
A pretty rapid descent if you consider the 2nd and last are only 4 years apart...
Yes, it happens that way sometimes. I saw it with my mother-in-law. He had an incredibly sharp decline in just the space of one year.

Not really. It just makes you sleep, so you end in your sleep.
Load More Replies...Interesting, but shouldn't they make sure the person is asleep first or something? I don't think that going out by suffocation is a peaceful way to go.
As I understand it, the sense of suffocation doesn't result from a lack of oxygen, but from the buildup of carbon dioxide in the air. That doesn't happen in this situation. Our bodies don't actually warn us about lack of oxygen. In the industrial-safely training I had years ago, we were warned that "anoxia is sneaky". If you go into an environment where the air lacks sufficient oxygen you're very likely to pass out before you realize that anything is wrong.

His only novel is about 4 shipwrecked men who run out of food and eat the cabin boy, Richard Parker. 46 years after it published, a yacht sank in real life and 3 of the 4 survivors also decided to eat the cabin boy... named Richard Parker
Wait long enough and everything you write will come true. 👋 Hi Jennifer! 👋 Hi Michael!
Poe got his inspiration mainly from the horrifying but true story of the whaler Essex which was wrecked by a huge s***m whale in the south Pacific in 1820. Eight of the 21 crew survived, some by cannibalism. Two or three of the survivors published accounts of the sinking and their survival, which were widely known in the U.S. One of the best recent works is by maritime historian Nathaniel Philbrick, called "In the Heart of the Sea". It was made into a film in 2015.
Javed Iqbal A Pakistani Serial K**ler Sent A Letter To Police Confessing To The R**e And M****r Of 100 Runaway Boys, All Aged Between 6 And 16
Javed Iqbal a Pakistani serial k**ler who sodomized and m******d 100 young boys, strangling them, dismembering the corpses, and dissolving them in acid, was sentenced to death in the same manner: being strangled, cut into 100 pieces in front of the parents of the victims, and being dissolved in acid.
He was sentenced to be strangled and cut into 100 pieces but this was over ruled as "such punishments cannot be allowed". He hanged himself with his bedsheets in jail.
It would have been he best punishment, I'd have suggested to use blunt rusty knives to make him suffer longer.
Load More Replies...My eye for an eye vindictive side thinks this is justice. I feel horrible about it though, I'm a bad person. But hopefully the m******r was scared of the though this would happen to him and it brought him fear. (And yes I know the rest of the verse and the true point of this expression)
The difference is between feeling like it and knowing it's wrong, and actually doing it.
Load More Replies...He was sentenced to death and the judge did describe this particular punishment but it was later clarified by an official that it could not happen this way due to laws. In 2001 he was found hanged in his cell.
Eilean Mor Lighthouse Mystery - All Three Lighthouse Keepers On A Remote Island Vanished
The logs found reference a brutal storm that lasted days, even though a neighboring island that had view of the Lighthouse reported calm weather
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flannan_Isles_Lighthouse#1900_crew_disappearance
This article details the damage the storm wreaked on the island: "A box at 33 metres (108 ft) above sea level had been broken and its contents strewn about; iron railings were bent over, the iron railway by the path was wrenched out of its concrete and a rock weighing more than a ton had been displaced. On top of the cliff, at more than 60 metres (200 ft) above sea level, turf had been ripped away as far as 10 metres (33 ft) from the cliff edge." This damage was all on the western side of the island. The article also details a plausible reason for the men's disappearance.

Load More Replies...Euthanasia Coaster
The Euthanasia Coaster is a concept for a steel roller coaster designed to k**l its passengers. In 2010, it was designed and made into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park, stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives "with elegance and euphoria." It is a ride to the death. The seven loops or "inversions" put the human body under such stress that it causes the brain to be starved of oxygen, as the heart simply cannot push blood against the enormous g-forces. Even if it k**ls you, it is designed to still be a fun death. An honourable thought, if rather macabre.
Not me. I would be covered in vomit. Poor morticians.
Load More Replies...As a piece of art this is actually quite good and speaks to the debate around assisted dyïng. It was never intended to be made in real life but to provoke discussion...as good art often does.
There really was a coaster on Coney Island from 1895-1902, called the Flip-Flap, which consisted of a rapid descent on rails into a single 25-foot diameter loop. Wikipedia says, "The design created extreme G-forces for riders, and it had a reputation for snapping necks and causing injuries. Consequently, it attracted more spectators than riders."
Load More Replies...Uh, no. I'll take a super generous dose of morphine any day. That just sounds terrifying. (edited to confound the censors.)
I thought this was always marketed as it is designed to kiII you because it G5 Force. Yeah, who doesn’t wanna go on a rollercoaster like that with seven vertical loops. I mean you’ll be dead after the first or second loop but your body just keeps going till the end and then who doesn’t want to go through the charming Ordeal of them having them have to take your body all of it and un-clip you and everything —sounds lovely.. they’re better assisted ways out.
I used to be a roller coaster enthusiast. I was part of a 'media day' for a roller coaster in Cincinnati called (at the time) The Italian Job, like the movie... It has a helix that goes around a couple of times. That was the only time I've blacked out on a roller coaster.

St Lambert's Church Cages
These three cages, that were used to hold the dismembered remains of opposing religious leaders in the region in 1536, still hang on St. Lambert's Cathedral in Münster, Germany.
"Opposing religious leaders" is an odd way to put it. They were insurrectionists who seem to have been motivated by religious doctrine, but executed for leading a bloody revolution, and then murdering the bishop who tried to march back into town with 12 followers.
Then a cathedral seems an odd place to hang bodies of people convicted for, as you point out, civil crimes like insurrection and murder.

Christina Watson who was k**led by her husband when the couple went for a scuba diving on the great barrier reef, just 11 days after their wedding
He was tried in Austrailia and found guilty of manslaughter, received 4.5 years but that sentence was suspended after 12 months of incarceration. That decision was appealed by the prosecution and his incarceration subsequently was increased to 18 months. After that he was deported to the US and was tried again in the US and the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The wife was buried by her family but the husband had her body exhumed and reburied in a unmarked plot he purchased and he would regularly remove decorations and flowers placed there by her family and throw them away, police surveillance footage showed. He was eventually ordered by the court to stay away from her grave.
Side note- the lack of evidence in the US trial was due to the new charges having to do with the belief that he had been planning to k**l her before they ever left the states for their honeymoon in Austrailia and that he had a financial motive (he increased her life insurance right before the trip, he lied to the Austrailian diving company and said he was a certified rescue diver in order to be allowed to be assigned as his wifes diving buddy, even though he was brand new and had only taken a 2 day course right before the trip) but a bunch of evidence was blocked from submission so it just never went to trial in the US.

In 2012, 37-Year-Old Cari Farver Suddenly Disappeared In Omaha, Nebraska
For the next three years, her k***er, Shanna “Liz” Golyar, impersonated her through thousands of texts and emails to her family and friends before investigators uncovered the truth. Cari Farver was a 37-year-old single mother when she disappeared in November 2012, just weeks after beginning a new relationship in Omaha. For years afterward, friends, family, and her boyfriend received thousands of texts and emails from her accounts — none of which were actually from Cari.
Investigators later discovered that Shanna “Liz” Golyar had m******d Farver and spent three years posing as her to cover up the crime. Golyar even went so far as to burn down her own house and injure herself in an effort to maintain the deception.
I actually saw this on an episode of Dateline, I think. Shanna aka Liz is crazy and killed Cari because she was now dating Liz's ex.

There is a mysterious monument in Georgia which gives instructions in 8 languages on how to rebuild society after an unknown apocalyptic event, whilst also functioning as a compass, calendar, and clock.
It was way creepier than that... but also destroyed. There was no reference to an apocalyptic event; only that the Earth's population should be below 500 million, which would require killing about 90% of the world population. There were no instructions; some thought reference to instructions meant there was a time capsule, but when it was destroyed none was found. Apparently, the "instructions" were nothing more than the platitudes inscribed in the stone, including that the population be so low.

“ Exactly 30 years later, on August 29, 2021, a car stopped in front of his family’s house. Out came an old man — it was Vasile Gorgos. He was now 93 years old, and the craziest part? He was wearing the exact same clothes he had on the day he disappeared. Vasile, who was now 93 years old, couldn’t give any explanations. When asked where he had been, he just answered that he had been at home. He remembered everything up to the moment of his disappearance, and after that — just “was at home.” Otherwise, Vasile looked great for his age — clean, well-fed, even shaved. WHAT ARE THE THEORIES There are many theories about what happened to Vasile: Some say he worked with secret services, took part in some secret operations, and then had his memory erased. On the one hand, it sounds doubtful. On the other — it would explain why no one ever came forward and said, “Hey, I know him, I saw him recently!”

I think the womans hands give it away. People in photos I've seen before usually have more relaxed jaw. But propping up them to standing isn't weird/hard, link in the end. They also usually either paited the eyelids with fake eyes or painted it on the finished photo. I think they did that here. The dead girls eyes are almost excatly a copy of the sisters eyes. Look at their right eyes, even the pupil is at the same place. How to stand: k2xj2jk.png
Usually photos of deceased set up like this have exceptionally in focus faces because, unlike their fellow sitters, they are not making micro movements to cause blur. Until I see evidence supporting this, I am less inclined to think of her as a cadaver. People who have red hands tend to look like this. You notice it in photos of people with ruddy faces.
However, you can see the difference between the two sisters' hands. The standing sister's hands look darker and smoother, because blood has settled in them.

Lady Dai - The Best Preserved Mummy In The World
Lady Dai, a Chinese woman who died in 163 BC, is considered the best-preserved mummy in the world. Upon discovery she still had moist, soft skin, movable limbs, intact organs, and veins that still contained small amounts of type A blood. She was preserved in 21 gallons of an unknown liquid that protected her body for over 2000 years.
I don't know where BP does it's research but she wasn't found in and unknown liquid she was found as follows: Xin Zhui's body was found within four rectangular pine constructs that sat inside one another which were buried beneath layers of charcoal and white clay. The corpse was wrapped in twenty layers of clothing bound with silk ribbons. The liquid was acidic and probably killed any bacteria in the coffin.
"Research" is Reddit. I would say that 90% of BP is rehashed from Reddit. Check out the link below and you can read most of this page but in original Reddit threads.... https://www.reddit.com/r/truecreepy/

The Truck Stop K**ler
Robert Ben Rhoades was a trucker who in the late 80's to early 90's went on a k**ling spree, picking up female hitchhikers on the road and s*xually torturing them before m*******g them in the back of his truck. Rhoades was really into bondage and S&M and even carried a r*pe kit" consisting of needles, whips and dildos. When he was arrested they found a naked woman chained to his cab along with a journal cataloging all of his victims.
"Rhoades continues serving his sentence of life without parole at the maximum-security Menard Correctional Center in Chester, Illinois." (Current age = 79)
Hope it's an extremely horrible prison even for the US standard.

[unsolved] The Doodler- Serial K***er
The Doodler was a serial k**ler who targeted gay men in San Francisco. He would sketch his victims n*de before m*******g them. Though 3 victims survived, and a suspect was identified, none were willing to "out" themselves in open court in order to convict the suspect.
It’s important to remember that during the Doodler attacks, San Francisco still had sodomy laws — carrying prison sentences. Even after those laws were repealed in 1976, being publicly identified as gay could cost you your job, your family, housing, and safety. Police prejudice was still very real, and hate crimes were rarely taken seriously. Coming forward as a witness meant risking your entire life for testimony that might not even add new information or secure a conviction. Under those circumstances, it’s not surprising that survivors stayed silent — it was an act of self-preservation. (Translated with help from ChatGPT because my English is not strong enough)
