The world is a scary place, and missing persons cases like these make it a whole lot scarier. Every year, thousands of people disappear off the face of the Earth. Whether they leave everything behind by choice or they’re tragically taken, investigators are often forced to abandon these cases when trails run cold. Here are…
Not much terrifies me more than the thought of running into a murderer. While there’s no telling how many killers are actually out there (or who all of them are), I’ve always taken comfort in the mistaken belief that those who have been convicted of murder have either been sentenced to death or are spending…
A student named Holly was sitting in class one day when the lecture took a turn for the worse. Bored stiff, Holly yawned so vigorously that her mouth got stuck wide open. Try as she might, she couldn’t close it! She later learned that she’d dislocated her jaw. Watch what happened when she stepped into…
Exploring abandoned homes and buildings can be one of the creepiest things that you ever do with your time. There is just something about a building that was once full of life, now reduced to dark nothingness, that draws people in. That feeling only amplifies if you happen to be exploring a place with a…
Like all arachnids, tarantulas molt. But when a tarantula molts, it’s definitely a uniquely heinous spectacle, since these giant spiders have to slide out of all 11 inches of their skin. For some reason, it’s even more disturbing that they do all of this upside down. Here is a time-lapse video of a tarantula molting…
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); I’ve done my fair share of international travel, but I haven’t even begun to explore most of the United States. Every state has its fair share of landmarks that stand out. At some of these sites, there are traditions that tourists have to check off their bucket lists. For example, in…
Deep-sea fishing is one of those things I’ve always wanted to do. I love the ocean, and it seems like a pretty ethical way to catch and enjoy fish. Some people choose to make it a complete lifestyle, even fishing out in the open water on kayaks. One kayak fisherman was out on the water…
Fact: The Bible is best-selling book of all time. It’s also probably the most hotly debated book ever. It has changed the lives of so many people and continues to shape the world in ways that we can’t even fathom. Even if you’ve never read it cover to cover, you’ve probably skimmed the pages while…
In August 1912, the disappearance of Bobby Dunbar swept national headlines. The four-year-old had been on a fishing trip with his parents at Swayze Lake in Louisiana when he vanished. Authorities assumed the boy had been kidnapped and set out on a nationwide manhunt. Eight months later, police encountered a man named William Walters traveling…
Jellyfish are right up there with wasps on the list of creatures that pretty much everyone hates. The difference with jellyfish, though, is that there are some subspecies whose stings can kill you almost instantly. (With a wasp sting, the only way one will kill you is if you’re deathly allergic.) So, just how much…
When it comes to urban exploration, learning the histories of targeted locations is important so that you can get some context for what you’re seeing. But sometimes, not knowing is much better. Redditor tylerpaduraru was exploring an abandoned facility in Lithuania when he started noticing signs of occult activity that should’ve convinced him to get…
A building collapsed in Nairobi, Kenya, last week, leaving 23 people dead and 93 missing. Rescuers have been working tirelessly since the moment they stepped onto the horrific scene. Just as they were giving up hope on May 3, however, the team came across a six-month-old baby in the rubble. Miraculously, the child had no…
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); Whether you’re a fan of guns or not, I think we can all agree that some companies advertise them in strange and inappropriate ways. This is especially true when it comes to advertisements that were created decades ago. Sure, they seem to mean well and they’re from an entirely different time…

Though I’ve never seen one myself, I’ve always been afraid of encountering a ghost,…
When it comes to making money, few financial institutions rake in more cash than the cosmetics industry. In fact, Americans spend an average of $40 billion a year on makeup and skincare products. Thousands of people out there (ladies and gents alike) will stop at nothing when it comes to looking and feeling a little…
As most of us go through life, we tend to avoid the things that scare us. For many people, snakes would fall under that category of terrifying things. However, there are some out there who have…shall we say, an obsession with the reptiles. YouTuber Amy Siewe is one of those people. Back in 2011, she…

In Spring City, Pennsylvania, lies the notorious Pennhurst State School (also known as the Pennhurst Asylum), which is a mental hospital with a history that’s marred by controversy. In the 1960s, a local news station did a five-part report on the inhumane conditions to which Pennhurst physicians and nurses subjected patients. In 1983, nine employees…
For a lot of people, there is nothing scarier than a tornado. There’s really no defense against the massive storms except maybe top-notch civil engineering and evacuation. Depending on its power, a tornado will destroy everything in its path. In case you haven’t realized by now, it’s a very bad idea to run towards a…
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); Clowns have always scared people, but recent panic across the country has drawn their creepiness out in full force. Ever since I ran into one inside a haunted house, I’ve refused to go to any of those attractions. Even though my friends have tried their hardest to convince me that it’s…
