10 Real Life Stories More Scary Than Horror Movies

Everyone Has Different Tastes But Armin Meiwes Has A Really Disturbing Palate In the early 2000s a computer repair technician posted on a website looking for a well-built person between the ages of 18 and 30 years to be slaughtered and then eaten.
The story understandably caused a media uproar in part because the trial revealed that cannibalism actually existed for later movies, and eventually Meiwes was fortunately given a life sentence.
Someone who lives in the walls
Imgur user TwoBiteBrownie took the internet for a ride down a secret corridor that they and their brother discovered in their parents' room behind a bookcase, opening onto a spiral staircase that leads to a small crawl.
As horrible as stairs and crawling seemed to be, they paled in comparison to what lay within the space: the signs of someone living there. A sheet lay on the floor with strange trinkets, toys, and finished food scattered around it.
Even more disturbing is that TwoBite suspects that the candy came from his Halloween which means that the crawl guest lived in the house next to them.
Although it seems like a trick or a one-time phenomenon, people have not been able to hide in other people's homes undetected for months.
In Japan a woman hid in a man's closet for an entire year and was only discovered after the man installed cameras in his house. How do you feel safe knowing that you might be sharing your shelter with some unknown guests?
HH Holmes' House of Horrors America's
First Serial Killer Holmes America's first known serial killer carries out his terrible reign in a haunted house of his own design A former medical student turned business owner opens a hotel in Chicago in 1890 that serves as his personal murder home .
During its construction he hired and fired different workers each week so no one knew the building's layout but him, trap doors, secret walls, stairs leading anywhere and a basement straight from a saw movie include a few gruesome, twisted Holmes renovations designed to maximize torture and fear.

By the time the authorities discovered the den of the murder, the corpses had grown inside to the point where it became difficult to tell how many there were. The death toll for Holmes is estimated to be anywhere from 28 to 200 with Holmes admitting 28.
Today the Holmes House is no longer standing but the infamous one still does.
Real prop for dead people
Remember the scene in the Poltergeist where a mother falls into a puddle full of decomposing corpses? They look really terrifying and for good reason as you can see the producers decided to use real bodies as props because the plastic skeletons were too expensive.
Instead of quickly stopping in Party City, the producers satiated Dr. Frankenstein well and used actual corpses to create their monster. Ostensibly this part of the artistic planning paid off as the poltergeist spooked the crowd into two additional parts.
But many say it also contributed to the Poltergeist's curse, a supposed evil that has led to the deaths of several stars of the franchise.
Crocodil, the heroin alternative that eats your flesh
Most drugs do horrible things to the human body, but desomorphine, also known as crocodil, may be the most harmful. The drug, which is a mixture of red phosphorous, kerosene, and other dangerous chemicals, gives the user the same feeling as injecting heroin at a much cheaper rate.
Yet Krokodil comes with terrible side effects worse than blackened lungs or a ruined liver: it eats your flesh, Krokodil has swept Siberia and the rest of Russia because of its power and cheapness.
A great way to resist the temptation to try krokodil involves simply putting the world into Google Image Search but only if you have a strong stomach.
Suicide Forest in Japan
Aokigahara Forest, a beautiful green ocean of foliage at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan is also the site of the most suicides in the world.
Every year dozens of dead bodies appear in the forest, most of them hanging from trees. It happens so frequently that the Japanese government posts signs all over the forest telling people to briefly don't do it.
Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of ​​Trees, sits on top of an area rich in volcanic activity, a property that softens the ground and contributes to the area's natural calm.
A popular novel in which a married couple committed suicide in the woods cemented its bleak reputation by the 1960s, although many say suicides occurred there long before then.
Isle of Dolls in Mexico City
La Isla de la Monicas, or "Island of Dolls," lies in a canal south of Mexico City. Although there is no one on the island, it has many inhabitants: hundreds of dolls hang from trees.
Supposedly each doll satisfies the spirits of the dead and completely robs them of any association with the word toy, former island administrator Don Julian Santana said he began making the dolls decades ago after a young girl was found drowned in a river.
Although his family said there was no little girl at all, Santana himself appeared lying face down in the river in 2001.
96% of the ocean is still unknown
Although the world's oceans make up 70% of the Earth's surface, scientists only know About 5% of everything in it. Another way to interpret this data: more than two-thirds of the Earth is an area unknown to humans.
And I spent all that time worrying about incoming aliens when hostile Atlantis or Kaiju could so easily rise from the depths of the Mariana Trench. What is that sound you ask? Nothing just one of the many burgeoning and unexplained noises the ocean makes.
The Real-Life Silent Hill
Do you know that series about a town where geometric-headed demons roam misty streets, wreaking havoc and terror? The series in question, Silent Hill, is based on a town stuck in a permanent inferno.
More than fifty years ago a massive garbage fire broke out in Centralia, Pennsylvania, igniting an exposed coal crater and turning the Earth into a physical inferno.
The disaster destroyed homes, split roads in half and forced 1,400 residents to leave a devastated rural town.
Unfortunately, unlike most other disasters this fire was never extinguished, the coal under the fire keeps burning to this day and experts say it can keep the fire going for another 200+ years.
As of 2017, seven people have each been listed as representing a different mortal sin.
Fungi That Turn Ants Into Zombies
As much as people pretend there are zombies only in the movies, they are in the insect the world thanks to the one-sided Ophiocordyceps, a fungus native to Brazil, Thailand and Africa.
The fungus falls from trees, penetrates the heads of the ants into their brains, and causes the ant to lose control of its body. The ant then climbs a tree with pincers on a leaf and dies while the fungus continues to grow and more spores sprout.
A floating ghost ship full of cannibals rats
A derelict Soviet cruise ship drifts across the ocean and makes its way towards the shores of Scotland. The ship in question is Lyubov Orlova carrying a horde of rats that have been out at sea for a while eating nothing but each other.
And a ghost ship full of cannibal rats drifting toward Scotland like Ramsay Campbell's novel Floating.

How did this happen? Apparently Canada kept it in port after getting it back from private owners. In 2013, they decided to get rid of her and leave someone else to handle the modern plague ship. But instead of appearing in Scotland or Ireland as expected, Lyubov Orlova made it ashore in California.
Incoming space objects are a constant threat
Sometimes people forget that planet Earth is in the middle of billions of miles of empty space where it is hardly the largest or even the most defensive of things.
A very tangible reminder of Earth's small place in the universe has arrived in the form of the Chelyabinsk meteor that struck Russia in February 2013. No one died but 1,200 were injured from shattered glass from the explosion that was recorded at monitoring stations on the other side of the world in Antarctica.
The damage in Chelyabinsk reveals how sensitive Earth is to a large-scale impact from a UFO. But how do you defend a border you know nothing about?
In 2004, another asteroid, Apophis 99942, made headlines when scientists feared it might strike the planet. Although many believe the threat is over, some still worry that an asteroid like Apophis could pose a threat to Earth at any time.
The guy who hasn't showered in decades
surely you don't need to shower every day of the week but you have to make more effort to shower than Amou Haji. Haji is an 80-year-old Iranian man who has not showered in more than 60 years.
And he's covered in dirt and who knows what else, smokes animal dung from a plumbing pipe, lives on the outskirts of a village in a concrete hut and sleeps in a coffin-like bed, all of which sounds like a description of the worst fairy tale ever written.
