If it’s not entertaining or informative, it likely won’t hold our attention. Many of us still have an inner child whose eyes gleam brightly every time it spots something fun, creepy, or downright paranormal, because we're forever intrigued by the dark. We’re driven by morbid curiosity, a deep inner desire to learn more about the world, and the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of unique things we'll never truly understand about our planet. Though it can get dimmer as we age, curiosity never truly goes away. And one way to reignite our passion for learning is by snacking on cool, bite-sized facts about horror, psychology, paranormal, and dark history.

That’s where the massively successful 'Morbid Curiosity' comes in. Run by a certain Mr. Morbid (Abin Tom Sebastian) on Instagram, it shares creepy, dark, and unusually dark facts and cases around the world that you may not have ever heard of. And today we’re featuring some of their best posts, as shared on their Instagram page, to help spread their mission of enriching people’s lives through education.

Scroll down, upvote your favorite facts, and let us know in the comments which of these you found the most surprising, dear Pandas. Oh, and if you feel that you’ve fallen in love with Mr. Morbid and Morbid Curiosity, be sure to follow them on Instagram (@morbidkuriosity) for their freshest updates; you're in luck, too. Their 2022 Halloween Posts that go for 50 days, are just around the corner!

    Oh yea. Projects like the 180 Tonne “Maus” tank. Potentially the first stealth bomber the HO 229. A slew of strategic long range “Amerika Bombers” (planes that were designed to bomb NYC). “Though they were mostly used to boost the soldiers morale,” I haven’t heard of this before. Most of these projects were very secretive. With most of them being found out some years after the war ended. “There are some machines that were built, that could’ve potentially turned the tide to the axis’ favor”, also false. Most projects didn’t leave the paper and on rare occasions full prototypes were made (with the most notable exception being the two Maus turrets and one hull being completed). Even if all of them were put in production it would have been done in vain due to the position Germany was in. It would have needed too much recourses and money Germany didnt have. Plus the man powere would have only been a dream. Since most factories being bombed by the allies, it struggled to make other weapons that were outdated. Basically it was too late for the Germans to do anything about it.

    Saw a story about this on TV last week. Apparently the "spaceman" was most likely a woman wearing a hat facing away from the photographer.

    This is why I have no remorse or sympathy for Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Edit) I should probably elaborate. The Japanese military (during WW2) was probably as bad as the Germans. For reasons explained above but for other reasons not explained too. They forced girls as young as 12 to become prostitutes without giving them a break. Many of them contracted diseases and died while other died due to exhaustion. They were dubbed as “Comfort Girls.” They forced hundreds of teenage girls to build balloons to send to the US (that’s a story for itself). They Invaded China and massacred millions of Chinese men, woman, and children. They used to kill babies for fun in the form of games. They held competitions for soldiers to kill the most civilian lives. THEY WERE F****D UP PEOPLE I DONT CARE IF YALL DISAGREE AND IF YOU DO PLEASE GET SOME HELP.

    "Video Taped"... The Author appears to be unaware that this technology did not exist for another 30 or so years? It was FILMED, not videoed!

    (Some info left out) the pilot opened its cockpit and slowed the plane down to inspect him (he was playing dead) and then killed the j*p pilot with a Colt M1911
