Creepy Facts (14 pics)

The Dyatlov Pass Incident
In 1959, nine Russian hikers mysteriously died in the Ural Mountains. Their tent was found slashed open from the inside, and some of the bodies were found partially undressed in sub-zero temperatures.
Two had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one had its tongue and eyes missing. The cause of their deaths remains unsolved.

The “Third Man” Factor
People in extreme, life-threatening situations like climbers, divers, or shipwreck survivors have often reported the comforting presence of an unseen “third man” who gives them advice or encouragement.
What do you reckon your third man would look like?

Cotard’s Syndrome
Also known as "Walking Corpse Syndrome," this is a rare mental disorder where the sufferer genuinely believes they are dead, missing their organs, or that their body is rotting away. Well, that's terrifying.

Vampire Skeletons
In certain parts of Europe, archaeological digs have uncovered ancient graves with skeletons pinned down or staked through the heart. Anyone buried this way was suspected to have been a vampire, and this method was said to keep them down

The Hum
The hum is a creepy, low-frequency humming sound that is heard in certain parts of the world by only a small percentage of the population. It’s described as a droning or buzzing noise with no apparent source.

6

The Doppelgänger Effect
In folklore, seeing a doppelgänger, or an exact double of a living person, is often considered an omen of bad luck or death. The word is German for "double-goer." Imagine how f*cking creepy enough it'd be seeing yourself across the street or something.

Death by Vending Machine
More people die at the hands of a vending machine than they do from shark attacks every year.

8

Sleep Paralysis
This terrifying sh!t happens when you wake up during the REM stage of sleep, and your brain is active but your body is paralyzed.
People often report a feeling of dread, and a presence in the room, often an old hag or shadow figure, sitting on their chest. For me, it's often a dark silhouette standing in the doorway.

The Human Body Farm
Located in Tennessee, there exists a research facility where forensic anthropologists study human decomposition on real f*cking cadavers. The bodies are left in different conditions to help solve murder mysteries.
Gross, yet insanely interesting

The Corpse Flower
This massive, weird looking flower, grows deep in the forests of Sumatra. Why is it called the corpse flower? It smells like rotting flesh. Wouldn’t want to sniff that one.

11

The Mandela Effect
This is a phenomenon where a large group of people collectively remember something differently than how it actually occurred.
Examples include thinking the Berenstain Bears were spelled "Berenstein" and believing Nelson Mandela died in prison.

12

Rat Kings
This is a rare phenomenon that occurs when a number of rats' tails become intertwined and bound together by blood, dirt, ice, or feces. The rats are then forced to live as a collective, often until they die. Gross. Terrifying.

Rigor Erectus
A chilling post-mortem phenomenon, "rigor erectus" is a penile erection after death. It's often associated with deaths from hanging or other types of strangulation, and is caused by the pressure on the cerebellum, which controls motor functions.
