With so much information at the tips of our fingers, is there such a thing as knowing too much? Eventually, all of the knowledge acquired results in landing someplace absolutely terrifying. Here are
10 Wikipedia pages you should never visit.
1. The Black Dahlia
In 1947, Elizabeth Short was the victim of one of the most gruesome and brutal murders in Los Angeles. Her body was cut in half, and it remains a cold case to this day, her killer never being found. Her corpse was also drained of its blood, mutilated and then scrubbed clean. The murder became an overnight sensation in the media, with numerous films being made to cover the murder. The Wikipedia page holds nothing back in describing the murder, and it will make you want to check every corner you walk around.
2. Overtoun Bridge
Located near Dumbarton in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, the Overtoun Bridge has been the site of the deaths of several dogs. What is even more horrifying and sad, the dogs leaped to their deaths willingly. They all leaped from the same side, and they were all breeds with long snouts. Not only have dogs died, but humans as well. In October of 1994, Kevin Moy threw his two-week old son over the bridge because he thought the baby was the devil incarnate.
3. Scaphism
Scaphism is an ancient method of execution, originating in Persia. It was one of the most gruesome and torturous methods of execution. The victim would be stripped naked and then strapped to two boats with the head, arms, legs, and feet protruding from the side. Then the victim would be forced to eat milk and honey, which was also poured all over their body and then they would be left to float in a stagnant pond. So basically the victim was killed by a combination of exposure bee stings, burrowing bugs, gangrene, and septic shock.
4. Rat King
The name "Rat King" may make one thing of the main patriarchy of a rat colony, but it's something far more disgusting. When the tails of rats get
tangles and intertwined, they don't try to separate from each other. Instead, they travel together as one disgusting pack. Dating back as early as 1564, Rat King's have often been mistaken for mythological creatures. Hopefully, no one else wonders how the black plague came about.
5. Alien Hand Syndrome
Have you ever been afraid to lose control over your body? Apparently, there's a condition known as "alien hand syndrome" where people have lost control over their hand. This results in their hand doing things the person cannot control. Explanations have included the brain's hemispheres being separated instead of together as well as tumors. But the idea that a part of our body can go rogue is pretty scary.
6. The Murder of Junko Furuta
The murder of Junko Furuta is a grim reminder of just how evil humans can be. Junko was abducted by four high school students, where they kept her captive for 40 days at the home of one of the boys. During that time, she was raped, tortured, beaten, and she was even forced to call her parents and tell them she would be staying at a friend's house for a while. The parents of one of the boys even knew what was going on, but didn't intervene because they supposedly feared their son. After Junko had died, her abductors dumped her body in a drum full of concrete, leaving her corpse to freeze in the hardening rock.
7. Men in Black
It's more than just a series of movies. The men in black are based on a real phenomenon that took place in the 1940's, 50's and 60's. These men in black were dressed in black suits, and they acted as government agents as they interrogated, threatened, and harassed people who had UFO encounters. People reported that sometimes they would communicate telepathically. It was believed that the men in black were perhaps even aliens themselves. Men in black sightings still happen to this day.
8. Belmez Faces
Imagine looking at the floor of your house and seeing terrifying faces appearing. In 1971, a family in Belmez, Spain was terrified when a series of different faces started appearing on the concrete floor of the house. The faces would appear and disappear, and it was believed that they might be the spirits of the former owners making their presence known. Despite accusations of all of it being a hoax, the faces continued to appear and are kept the record of to this day.
9. the Cleveland torso murderer
You did not want to live in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1930's as it was home to an unidentified serial killer who murdered and dismembered at least 12 people. However, recent research has suggested that the murderer may have killed as many as 20 people. He always beheaded and dismembered his victims and even cut the torso in half, and the male victims castrated. Pieces of the victims were found, and Wikipedia even shows the photos of the heads of a few of the killer's victims.
10. the Goatman
If you're worried about things going bump in the night, then this next page will make you want to shut the curtains. The Goatman is a hybrid with goat legs, horns, and the body of a human. The origin story of the goat man tells the tale of a German scientist who was conducting an experiment on goats, which backfired and caused him to mutate into a half-goat creature. Sightings were dated in the 1950's and 1960's, and the goat man is apparently responsible for the deaths of several hikers in Oregon and Canada.
