In 2011, Stephen McDaniel committed the brutal murder of his law school classmate Lauren Giddings. The two had come to know each other casually in one of their classes. That’s when McDaniel became obsessed with her. They both happened to live in the same apartment complex, and on the night before Giddings was supposed to […]

However, those that end up sitting at desks with comfy chairs (or at least standing desks) can consider themselves lucky. Dangerous work and operating heavy machinery isn’t most people’s definition of fun. […]

What looks like a bizarre-looking monster just washed up on the shores of Acapulco, Mexico, and nobody really knows what to make of it. Is it a fully digested squid? A sentient pile of mucus? A toddler’s finger painting come to life? Whatever it is, police are having a hard time figuring out what to […]
In the remote village of Tana Toraja in Indonesia, locals have a bizarre ritual for dead babies. Instead of burning or burying the bodies, they wrap them in cloth and seal them inside trees so they can be “absorbed” by nature. The Toraja people have long been known for their unique death rituals. Deceased adults […]
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 […]

This is especially true for David Berkowitz, who called himself the “Son of Sam.” This man terrorized the people of New York City from 1976 to 1977. Though police launched a […]
Next time you make a Costco run to stock up on warehouse-sized boxes of toilet paper and beef jerky, make sure you also prepare for the apocalypse. If the world “ends,” money will disappear and instead we’ll all live off a barter system of canned goods. (Or something.) However, if you do your work now, […]
