Claw marks everywhere inside the casket.

A friend of a friend was travelling in the UK and had to hitch-hike.

He dropped her off at home.

For some unknown reason he hadnt killed her.

She couldnt sleep and cried for days and her home was placed on watch.

She was driving a really nice thunderbird.

Then the dude pulled up a big Bowie knife to the window.

My mom started panicking and sped up to get away and the van was following right along.

Then the guy tried to run her off the road.

Keep in mind theyre probably going about 100 miles per hour.

She gets on the exit to get home and hes still following her.

The van pulls into the driveway just as my grandfather comes out in his underwear with a gun.

The dude got scared and drove off.

My mom wouldnt leave her house for month except for school, but never at night.

The 2011 San Fernando massacre.

Mexican cartel members(Los Zetas) abducted people from buses in Mexico.

They even forced the bus driver to initiate the bus over living people.

It still blows my mind that this happened right there in Mexico, just a few years ago.

2011 San Fernando Massacre.

This is a incident that happened to me about 10 years ago.

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

I was driving home from work one night around 9pm midweek so the roads were quiet.

As I was driving downhill I heard a sound that was like a jet engine roaring behind me.

The next thing I know a car goes flying past me going twice the speed limit.

It looked like a fairly old crappy car.

I put my foot down on the accelerator and drove off back home.

I decided to swap cars once I got home and drove back to see what was going on.

I saw 2 fire trucks and about 4 police close to where the incident happened.

The driver died from the incident.

I called the police and had a detectiive assigned to me.

He fingerprint checked my car and got a statement.

I had to testify in the supreme court as a key witness in a murder trial.

Pretty creepy to know people like that walk around freely.

The whole story is batshit and perhaps the most terrifying Wikipedia rabbit hole Ive ever gone down.

NOTHING, not even the most potent drug, can induce sleep.

Even when they tried to put them in comas, the brain remained completely active.

Last summer in my city a 14-year old girl was raped near a train station.

Well the guy was asking if he could come in and use her phone but she said no.

Without my older brother my mom and I couldve been seriously hurt.

He was the best dog ever and lived till the ripe age of 15.

I lived in an apartment in Marina del Rey, California.

After a few days, people realized it was actually the resident of the apartment who killed himself.

I was looking at a corpse thinking how cool it was.

I brushed it off, thinking my co-workers has mentioned it to him since he was such a regular.

About a week later I was driving home and my car broke down.

I hung up the phone, but it was definitely that guy.

I immediately quit my job and moved back in with my parents within 48 hours.

I change quickly and leave for the gym and start walking towards the gym.

As I am trying to figure out I can see all the cars alarms have gone off.

Anything made up of glass has been shattered in roughly 1-2 miles area.

I will always remember that smell which was something unsettling.

I am not believing that I have another human skin piece stuck to my arm.

I brush up my clothes and arms getting up and covering my ear recovering from that pressure kick.

By this time Im thinking its a bomb blast and thats what has happened.

I seen that later.

I see several people without legs, brains out and no hands.

I can still remember him looking straight into my eyes.

His feet were flipped the other way around.

After the police arrived and media arrived I came back home after it got crowded.

I still remember that guys face and the shockwave and the sound of the blast.

The manager said she would call the police to perform a wellness check.

The father had killed himself.

My dad went to answer it and it was a lady that just came in.

My family was being nice but skeptical, until they saw a man on a horse outside the house.

I could only imagine what the lady was going through.

Safe to say he was caught very quickly and my grandparents later moved house.

Still scary to imagine though.

He was trapped for many hours unable to get a full breath.

I cant think of anything worse than dealing with that kind of claustrophobia.

He was trapped upside down.

She had two young children which makes the story even worse.

Ronald Stoecker picked up an underage teen(Jean Marie Humble) near Peoria, IL.

She crawled her way at least 500 yards to nearest house and got help.

That was my house.

She ended up dying a week or so later.

Parents never liked talking about it and still dont, really.

He fled to Costa Rica and eventually was caught.

What a piece of garbage.

Happened around 97 or 98

A year or two ago, I was living in the suburbs.

Otherwise I would call a cab.

As I go towards the till go pay, he leaves the store.

I call my dad and he comes to get me.

The man was waiting for me to leave.

Serial rapist Marc OLeary was caught in 2011 and charged with several raped.

In 2008, an 18 years old woman went to police claiming she was raped.

They didnt believe her and ended up charging her with filing a false report.

Her photo was later found among his belongings.

Went in for a closer look and noticed he was actually witnessing a murder.

Next day the house was flooded with cop cars but never heard anything more of it.

I just found out about the Circleville letters, those are fucking nuts.

One night Ron was home with the kids, just watching TV, when he received a phone call.

No bullet was ever found.

It said, MARY GILLESPIE SUCKS.

So now everybody is freaked out.

The local sheriff gets involved and manages to trace the gun to Marys brother in law, Paul Freshour.

Paul claims the gun was stolen, but it looks bad for him.

Even Paul is getting them now, delivered to him in jail.

To this day nobody knows who was behind the Circleville letters.

I work at a pizza place in St. Louis called IMOs.

About 10 years ago, there was a guy who was a manager at our store named Michael Devlin.

He abducted 2 children in total but quickly got caught a few days after abducting the second child.

The kid even went by the last name Devlin after the whole charade was over!

Devlin is serving like 70 life sentences or some crazy shit.

He was apparently throwing up chunks of human during the flight.

This was his escape flight out of the country, he was arrested in Europe soon after.

Some of the adults chased the moped out to the main road, but he got away.

I cant imagine being out in those woods all night, and Im an adult.

There are bears, coyotes, snakes and millions of biting bugs.

It had even stormed that night because I remembered being worried for her when it started raining.

Its just so fucked up.

A bomber was carrying 2 over the Mediterranean sea and was lost to a storm.

It was never found and the government bought the land around the area.

A plane crashed over Greenland and dropped 4, 3 were found but 1 buried itself in the ice.

If thats not bad enough Russia has also lost about 40.

Tore him off it while he screamed and put him in the back.

Pulled away and sped round the corner, up my garden path and ran to my mum.

She didnt believe me.

Wouldnt call the police.

That was the last I remember.

No news stories I can find about a missing boy in any year where it happened.

Nobody remembers it, not even Mum.

The Spider-Man of Denver.

But a few weeks later she moved back into the home with a housekeeper.

They left the house in terror.

The neighbourhood rumour of the haunted house spread.

People saw movement in the now-empty house and police were put on patrol.

He said he was a friend of my fathers and that he would drive me home.

I told him no and stayed about twenty feet away from the car.

I went over and picked up the little paper it was my fathers business card.

It had a tunnel that went under a road.

So one day we went into the tunnel and there were two grown men in there.

Being the innocent children we were, we thought they were just playing or trying to catch some minos.

Anyway, some people fished down there.

Next thing I know, both of our moms show up.

His was livid with us and mine was just happy to see us.

This serial killer named Todd Kohlhepp lived 5 minutes away from me before he got caught in 2016.

Chained the girl up for months inside a trailer and raped her.

Another scary part is that he was a well respected realtor.

In the late 80s/early 90s there was a rash of serial rapes/murders around the area.

She saw lights on a farmhouse in the distance and hope for survival flickered in her eyes.

Unbeknownst to her, the darkness hid the fence surrounding the perimeter of the cemetery.

She ran blindingly into it and was knocked down allowing the rapist to catch up to her.

He then beat her to death with a toppled headstone.

I was told this one recently which has made me feel uneasy for the last few days.

Shed reported him multiple times to the police but there was nothing they could do.

We had only been there for a few months and our next door neighbors were constantly fighting.

Our houses were fairly close, almost a full arms length away from one of our windows.

It was the young woman just laying there on the floor on her back.

Maybe too late to get noticed.

I live in a modest house on a quiet street.

9 years ago, someone bought the house next to me to basically shelve their 18yo schizophrenic son.

They pay the rent and utilities and occasionally drop off cash.

He has done about as well as an unmanaged schizophrenic can do on his own.

To paint an image, he is a muscular black guy with telltale crazy eyes.

The first major incident was when he shot a deer from his second-story balcony.

It was standing across the street about 4ft from a neighbors bedroom.

The police came and left when he didnt answer.

I woke up to swat in my bushes the next morning with some serious scoped weapons.

He left with them but returned in a few weeks.

Astonishingly, I discovered that he incurred no charges for this.

Over the last 2 years, he has become focused more on me.

I first noticed when he told me to stop contacting him.

As in, I had become one of the voices.

He is becoming more aggressive.

Slashed tires, trampled plants, things missing.

I call the police, they take a record and say there is nothing they can do.

He wont sell the house or move him.

Last week, he began banging on my door at 3am nightly.

My family is terrified and he runs by the time I make it outside.

I report it every time, but he doesnt answer the door and the cops/crisis team just leave.

Maybe not the scariest thing in the world to you, dear reader, but it is in mine.

They werent supposed to have nukes on board.

We went in one by one, and if you were claustrophobic this place was your living nightmare.

We went deep in and it was just incredible, like a small world tucked away within solid rock.

Everyone was having a grand time when we started feeling some trickles of water on our backs.

It started as trickles before it went into streams and began to pool up.

We left one at a time as fast as we could, but it wasnt fast enough.

I could feel the water coming up to my chin as I crawled behind my brother.

I got out just as the water was up to my lips, and everyone got out safely.

I lived an apartment with 4 units.

One day I was sitting at home when a cop knocked on the door.

He had me call the landlord and ask for a key.

Once the owner got there he tried to open only to find out the guy had changed the locks.

They had to break the glass door and the wooden door to get in.

The cop went in to find the guy had killed himself probably around a month before.

No one knew because he never talked to anyone.

This is a hometown story that stayed with me.

It happened literally right around the corner from where I grew up, maybe a two minute drive away.

She picked up her sisters son, who was celebrating his tenth birthday that day.

She then loaded her three children into the car, supposedly to pick up a gift for the nephew.

Instead, she went missing with the carload of kids.

The crash annihilated both vehicles.

There were pieces of children all over the highway.

She was sentenced to 215 years in prison.

There was a serial killer known as the Weepy Voiced Killer.

you might find the recordings of his 911 calls on YouTube.

Hes currently in jail for a long time.
