The creepy/shock thread
 
I'm not going to post anything gory or NSFW.

I find a lot of this stuff interesting and fascinating. Some of this may be upsetting so if you're easily upset then just don't read on.

Quote:

Omayra Sánchez Garzón (August 28, 1972 – November 16, 1985) was a Colombian girl killed in Armero, department of Tolima, by the 1985 eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, when she was 13 years old. Volcanic debris mixed with ice to form massive lahars (volcanically induced mudslides, landslides, and debris flows) that rushed into the river valleys below the mountain, killing nearly 25,000 people and destroying Armero and 13 other villages.

After a lahar demolished her home, Sánchez became pinned beneath the debris of her house; she remained trapped in water for three days. Her plight was documented as she descended from calmness into agony. Her courage and dignity touched journalists and relief workers, who put great efforts into comforting her. After 55 hours of struggling, she died, likely as a result of either gangrene or hypothermia. Her death highlighted the failure of officials to respond promptly to the threat of the volcano, contrasted with the efforts of volunteer rescue workers to reach and treat trapped victims, despite a dearth of supplies and equipment.

Sánchez became internationally famous through a photograph of her taken by the photojournalist Frank Fournier shortly before she died. When published worldwide it generated considerable controversy; it was later designated the World Press Photo of the Year for 1985. Sánchez has remained a lasting figure in popular culture, remembered through music, literature, and commemorative articles.

One of my former avatars, this woman committed suicide by jumping from the Empire State Building in 1947. A photographer from TIME magazine snapped this picture after she had fallen on a limo and it was used as the cover of an issue. The serenity in it creeps me out.

Funny I just said that to someone, the other day. I have always thought jumpers were serene. It's the moment before you hit, you can see the peace come over their face. Ok now y'all know I am creepy so, just stuff it.

Cuthbert 04-09-2014 11:35 AM

In the most respectful way possible, that's a great pic.

Disgusting.

Ed Gein always creeped the **** out of me. Back as a kid I'd be interested in looking up stuff like Jack the Ripper and whatnot, but then I looked up Gein and saw a crime scene photo and it kind of put me off the whole thing for the most part.

Ed Gein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I remember posting this a while back in the Spam thread, but according to the author Ann Rule, who apparently knew him before he became infamous, Ted Bundy used to volunteer at a suicide hotline. Depending on how good he was at his job, and how long he worked there, there's a chance he actually saved more lives than he killed. Weird.

He may have been creepy, but without him there would have been no Norman Bates, Hannibal Lecter, or basically any other famous fictitious serial killer.

I don't think Lecter was based off Gein, but Buffalo Bill definitely was. Not to mention Leather Face.

Yep, Hannibal the cannibal I think I almost positive I have read that.

I forgot about him (leatherface) I met him a couple times,in my hometown. He is a biggun.

What's the stance on gore mods? There's more stuff I would like to post, not so much cartel beheadings more just links to graphic images (I won't embed the images obviously)

There's one about Scientology I want to post.

Urban Hat€monger ? 04-09-2014 12:16 PM

I think a link will be fine.
I didn't see them remove any links during the google clean up campaign.

The issue with potentially offensive imagery doesn't come from us, or even from the owners of the site, it comes from Google, who will threaten to pull advertising (which is how MB continues to exist) from this site if we don't adhere to their extremely vague standards. I'm not sure what their rules are about embedded images versus links to images, but I'd say if something seems questionable to you, err on the side of not posting it.

I've always found the artwork of convicted murderers to be rather creepy. Especially when it's the artwork of serial killers like John Wayne Gacy...

You don't really get a sense of just how creepy some of this stuff is until you see it up close at an exhibit. When it's inches away from you the creepiness just jumps right out at you.

And if you have money to spend and you want something ghastly to hang on your wall, you can go here and start placing your bids...

did pinch the idea from another forum though.

GW's paintings are weirder IMO, or maybe just people's reactions to them make me feel like I'm in bizarro land, it's as if he's a painting dog instead of a man responsible for millions of deaths

Charles Manson makes sculptures and whatnot in prison, guards confiscate it though.

I too am mystified by the dyaltov passage, even though I'm pretty sure it was just a blizzard. I think I just want to believe it was something crazier.

Anyway this pic has always caused uneasiness in me for some reason. I don't know the context behind it which probably makes it spookier idk

YorkeDaddy 04-10-2014 06:17 AM

Regarding the Dyatlov Passage:

It's hard to understand why several of them had serious physical injuries. There's also some random facts/rumors that float around about the skiers' clothes being radioactive and stuff. There's just so much weirdness involved that it's hard to accept that it could've just been a blizzard/avalanche. Also why would they all have dashed out of the tent without their shoes?! I literally cannot fathom a scenario where you were so terrified of something that you felt compelled to run out into deep snow in sub-zero temperatures on the top of the mountain completely barefoot. It's a fun thing to read about though!

It's not graphically gruesome but you do see dead bodies on that link, just a heads up.

David Sharp (mountaineer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

There was some controversy regarding this guy, people actually passed him (while he was still alive) on the ascent. He was seen on a documentary still alive as well, the following link documents some of the people who have died (including David Sharp):

Same again with that link though, be warned. The guy who lost his wife on the mountain and then went back knowing he didn't have enough oxygen :(

Fascinating read. Got my bedtime documentaries sorted for a week or so :cool:
