A list of creepy facts
There is a phenomenon known as "coffin birth," where a d*ad person can kinda give birth to a baby. It's so rare that it's not mentioned in medical discourse. It's to do with the release of gases.
Chainsaws were originally designed to assist in childbirth. Luke recently learned this (my partner), and I was like "yep, how f*cked up is that?"
In 1963, there was an exhibit at the Bronx Zoo in New York City called "The Most Dangerous Animals in the World," and it was just mirrors (i.e., a person's reflection).
A man using Google Earth to look at his old neighbourhood ended up being the key to finding a missing person in 2019. A man called William Moldt went missing in 1997, and he wasn't found until 2019 when a person using Google Earth spotted a car submerged in a lake. The image had been available on Google Earth since 2007, but no one noticed it. The car had Williams' remains in it. RIP.
A man called André Stander from South Africa was a police officer who used to rob banks on his lunch breaks.
There is a giant wood moth in Australia and NZ, it's so big it's unable to fly.
There is a disease called "kuru" that consists of uncontrollable laughter. It is said to be spread by cannibalism.
It's alleged that the average person could walk past at least 36 m*rderers in their lifetime.
The Hoia-Baciu Forest in Romania is allegedly one of the most haunted forests in the world. You can read my blog post about Haunted Forests "here".
Spiders have clear blood.
Human remains used to be a key ingredient in some medicines.
There is a condition where people think they are d*ad/don't exist. It's known as Cotard's Syndrome.
