Hi friends! Happy Fri-YAY! I was really struggling to find a topic for this week's edition of Freaky Friday Files, so I went back and had a look at some old posts, only to be inspired by my series about disturbing Wikipedia pages. So this one is part 3!

Disturbing Wikipedia Pages You Shouldn't Read at Night (Part #3)
Finno-Ugrian s*icide hypothesis - "The Finno-Ugrian s*icide hypothesis proposes to link genetic ties originating among Finno-Ugric peoples to high rate of s*icide, claiming an allele [gene] common among them is responsible."
Leonardo Cianciulli - An Italian serial k*ller who m*rdered three women and turned their bodies into soup AND teacakes (ew, ew ew). I believe he shared the teacakes with his neighbours.
Joseph Newton Chandler III - Real name "Robert Ivan Nichols" was a man who committed s*icide in Eastlake, Ohio, in the year 2002. When authorities failed to locate the man's family, they eventually realised that he had committed identity theft. Robert took on the name of Joseph Newton Chandler III, an 8-year-old boy who had passed away in a car crash in 1945 in Texas. It is believed that he was a fugitive due to the extremities he went to hide his real identity. He wasn't identified until 2018.
Khamar-Daban incident - This one is oddly similar to the Dyatlov Pass incident, except there was a survivor in this one. On the 5th of August, 1993, 6/7 hikers passed away under mysterious circumstances. The group was led by Lyudmila Korovina, and the sole survivor was Valentina Utochenko. Authorities received a report about the incident, but they didn't carry out a formal search until the 24th August, as Utochenko was unable to say what had happened straight away (maybe due to shock?). Eventually, Utochenko claimed that she watched the other group of hikers die one by one, where they would start screaming, then bleed from the eyes and ears, and then froth at the mouth. They also tore their clothes off. Autopsy reports suggested that the hikers died from hyperthermia, and one person died from a heart attack. It's not clear why Utochenko was the sole survivor. All I know is that hyperthemia can make you do some weird things (like take your clothes off because your body thinks you're too hot).
Body snatching - This one takes me back to second-year sociology, when I took a course on death and dying, and we learned about this. Body snatching is the illegal removal of corpses from gravesites. Often, the bodies were used in medical schools to perform autopsies on.
Dule tree - Trees in Scotland that were used for public h*ngings.
Kidwelly s*x cult - I don't think I have to go into too much detail here; this one is self-explanatory and disgusting and awful. It was a British cult in Wales that often went by the name "The Church" - literally straight out of a horror movie. It's a pretty intense read, FYI.
Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 - A plane crash in Florida in 1972, and following the crash, people on other airlines reported seeing the ghosts of crew members from that plane crash who had died. Apparently, some of the plane's wreckage is held in Ed and Lorraine Warren's museum (yes, the people who The Conjuring movies are about).
Isdal Woman - A placeholder name given to an unidentified deceased woman who was found in Isadalen ("The Ice Valley" in Bergen, Norway, in 1970. The cause of d*ath was believed to be carbon monoxide poisoning combined with barbiturate overdose. It's not clear whether the woman was m*rdered.
R v Dudley and Stephens - I am pretty sure I heard about this one on the TV show Tonight at the Museum (a comedy panel quiz show set in Tasmania), and I got the answer correct. Shows how morbid my brain is. Anyway, this refers to a law about cannibalism. In 1884, a ship sank in the ocean. Four of the crewmen survived, and after a few days, two of the men (Dudley and Stephens) k*lled the youngest man, Richard Parker and ate him. I think this is when they outlawed cannibalism.
Thanks for reading!
Stay safe, folks!!
