93 Scary Facts That Are More Disturbing Than Horror Movies

Publish Not your original work? Add source Are you one of those horror junkies who spend their free time watching horror movies and listening to true crime podcasts until late at night? Welcome to the club, our twisted friend! We've all seen some crazy stuff. From creepy-crawly insects to serial killers and haunted houses, there's nothing we won't watch if it's on the screen in front of us. But as frightening as these movies and shows are, some scary facts about our world make reality way more disturbing than fiction could ever be. For example, did you know that Aztec priests offered still-beating hearts to the gods, freshly severed from sacrificial victims? Or that safety coffins were invented because so many people got accidentally buried alive? Or again, that there's a museum in Pennsylvania that displays mutations, tumors, and anomalies for everyone to see? Well, you already know the world is full of creepy things, but it's better to remind ourselves of how much from time to time, right? So here we are with tons of other disturbing facts for you to enjoy! You might be surprised by how many of them sound like urban legends but are actually true.

Meaning "monstrous growth", the form you're imagining is mostly found in females and derives from the ovum. Usually, these are benign. In males, the teratoma is usually found in the testicle (as they derive from sperm) and is usually also aggressively cancerous (yay!). On occasion, teratomas may be congenital, which is how you get them in weird places like in the brain or attached to your tailbone. A common alternate name for the teratoma is the "dermoid cyst", and that's what a lot of women who get them removed know them as. It gets worse, of course, because the function of a germline cell is to create whole new human. So if a teratoma decides it's going to be some advanced form, well. That's how you get eyeballs. Or malformed fetus-things. 5 5points reply View more comments #4 Crows are so intelligent they can recognize a human face, even hold funerals for their dead. nationalgeographic.com Report 27points POST Kookamunga Kookamunga Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago And if you make friends with a crow, they'll bring you presents. crow-gifts...46b72b.jpg 7 7points reply View More Replies...
