Although I mentioned a masterpost of creepy wikipedia articles on my blog, here are the top 10 that truly creeped or scared me to my core:
Phantom time hypothesis: One of those that make you hit an existential crisis. The Phantom Time Hypothesis alleges that the period of time between 614 and 911 A.D. was added in retroactively, and that events that happened during this time occurred at different points in history, or didn’t happen at all.
List of unexplained sounds:Â A complete compilations of creepy noises that stemmed from who know where. They are completely unidentified.Â
List of unexplained disappearances:Â A complete list of publicly unexplained human disappearances, and of people whose current whereabouts are unknown or whose deaths are not substantiated, as well as a few cases of people whose disappearances were notable and remained mysterious for a long time, but were eventually explained.
Kelly-Hopskinsville encounter: This was a a series of incidents of alleged close encounters with extraterrestrial beings. If aliens do exist, they sure are freaky.Â
Shadow person: Every culture around the world has some version of a “shadow person” in their mythology. In some form or other, these visitors in the night are apparently a universal fear.
Black-eyed children: A complete description of an urban legend of supposed paranormal creatures that resemble children between the ages of 6 and 16, with pale skin and black eyes, who are reportedly seen hitchhiking or panhandling, or are encountered on doorsteps of residential homes.
Armin Meiwes: Armin Meiwes was a German cannibal who found someone who voluntarily let him kill and eat him on the internet. Before the victim died, Meiwes severed the guy’s penis and they shared it.Meiwes has since become a vegetarian but claims there are “about 800” cannibals in Germany.
List of haunted locations around the world: A complete list of reportedly haunted locations throughout the world, that are haunted by ghosts or other supernatural beings, including demons.Â
Murder of Junko Furuta:Â The Wikipedia article basically tells the real life story of a 17 year old Japanese girl who was abducted and held for over 40 days while being tortured. This made me loose my faith in humanity.Â
Murder of Shanda Sharer: Another one of those that will make you loose your faith in humanity.Four girls tortured and killed a 12-year-old girl, eventually burning her alive. They then went to McDonald’s and ate breakfast, joking about how she looked like one of the sausages they were eating.
