  1. Originally known as the Athens Lunatic Asylum, The Ridges was renamed after the state of Ohio acquired the property. The hospital saw hundreds of lobotomies, and often declared masturbation and epilepsy to be the causes of insanity in patients. Athens, Ohio, is listed as the 13th most haunted place in the world, as per the British Society for Psychical Research. The nearby Ohio University (which currently owns most of the property on which the Ridges is located) is said to be heavily haunted. The notorious rapist with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Billy Milligan, was housed at the facility for years. The most famous story, however is that of a 54 year old female patient who ran away and was missing for 6 weeks. She was found dead in an unused ward. She had taken off all of her clothes, neatly folded them, and laid down on the cold concrete where she subsequently died. Through a combination of decomposition and sun exposure, her corpse left a permanent stain on the floor, which is still visible today. Her spirit now haunts the abandoned ward.
  2. A forest in Japan, also known as “The Sea of Trees”, which has long had an association with demons in Japanese mythology. Due to the lack of wildlife and the wind-blocking effect of the trees, the forest is almost completely silent. This place has become notorious as one of the most common places for suicides to happen, second in the world after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco; the numbers have been steadily increasing in more recent years, with 247 attempted suicides in 2010. Volunteers scour the forest in annual ‘body hunts’, and signs have been erected in both English & Japanese urging people to reconsider taking their lives. However, some of the bodies aren’t discovered for years, and the forest is littered with corpses and skeletons. Josephine Myrtle Corbin was a sideshow performer who became one of the most infamous cases of being a dipygus. This meant that she had two separate pelvises, a result of her body being halfway split down the middle as she was developing. She had two smaller inner legs that were paired with the “normal” sized outer legs; she was able to move the smaller ones, although she had said that they were too weak for walking. Entering the sideshow circuit for a few years, at the age of 19, she eventually married a doctor and gave birth to five children - with two fully-functioning reproductive systems, it was said that some of her children came from one, and some from the other. Thich Quang Duc was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who set himself on fire in the middle of a busy intersection in June of 1963. Duc was protesting the persecution of Buddhists under the Roman Catholic administration at the time. He never moved a muscle the entire time he was on fire. After his death, his body was re-cremated for burial, but despite being burned twice, his heart remained intact, leading some Buddhists to believe that he was a bodhisattva, or an enlightened person.
  3. Sailing stones A geological phenomenon witnessed around Death Valley, California, where rocks will travel in straight or meandering lines, leaving trails behind them, with no animal or human interference. The exact reason for this is unknown, as some of the stones are immense and some are tiny. Two rocks that start out in the same direction will run parallel for a while and then veer off unexpectedly. They can travel for tens to hundreds of feet in any direction. The Osborne 1 was the first laptop computer sold commercially and was released in 1981 by the Osborne Computer Corporation. Weighing in at a hefty 10.7 kg (23.5lb), the computer cost $1795 and used the CP/M 2.2 operating system. Born & raised in Dresden, Germany, Carl Tanzler moved to Key West, Florida in 1927 with his wife and two daughters. He found work as a radiologist in a United States Marine Hospital, mostly working the tuberculosis ward in a time when the disease ran rampant. Tanzler was, by some accounts, a strange man; he claimed to have knowledge of advanced cures or treatments, and he claimed that an ancestor of his would visit him in visions and show him an exotic, dark-haired beauty who was to be his soulmate. Tanzler believed he met this soulmate of his in one of his patients, 22 year old Helen de Hoyos. She was dying from the tuberculosis that had killed off almost all of her immediate family, and Tanzler became obsessive about curing her; he began showering her with gifts and unreciprocated professions of love and adoration. He became convinced that if he cured her of her fatal disease, then she would have to love him, and they would spend happily ever after. However, she died in 1931, and with the permission of her family, Tanzler built her an above-ground mausoleum where he would secretly visit her at night. Her family was aware that he would sometimes visit the gravesite, and thought that it was touching for a doctor to care so deeply about his patients. However, they didn’t know that Tanzler was attempting to preserve Elena’s body in formaldehyde. He claimed that for the two years he was visiting her and doing this, her ghost spoke to him in visions, begging him to remove her body from the grave. And finally, in 1933, he did just that, stealing her body and taking it home with him, where he furiously tried to combat the onset of decomposition with perfumes and preservatives. Despite his best efforts though, her body still continued to fall apart, and so his methods became more extreme. He strung her bones together with piano wire, replaced her flesh with silk soaked in wax, and fashioned a wig of the hair that fell off of her head. It was rumored that he had also inserted a tube into her vagina for intercourse, although no evidence was found of this years later. In 1940, members of Elena’s family went to Tanzler’s house to confront him about the rumors going around town; there, they found Elena’s body, dressed in her burial clothes and laying in his bed. Tanzler was arrested and found psychiatrically sane; due to the statute of limitations on grave-robbing, he was never formally punished. Elena’s body was given back to her family, who reburied it in a secret location. However, this did not stop Tanzler’s obsession; he fashioned an effigy of Elena, like a giant doll with a mask, and lived with it for the rest of his life.
  4. “A driver who was high on cocaine destroyed an entire cornfield in an attempt to escape from the police. Four police cars were destroyed before the 35-year-old crashed into a ditch and was arrested, near the village of Dussen in the south of the Netherlands.” car drives around a house that stands in the middle of a newly-built road in Wenling, Zhejiang province, China. An elderly couple refused to sign an agreement to allow their house to be demolished. They say that the compensation offered was not enough to cover rebuilding costs. Their house is the only building left standing on a road which is paved through their former village. A mother and her daughter check out a red algal bloom in the water at Clovelly Beach in Sydney. A number of beaches in Australia have been closed after the sea turned blood red. The thick red bloom sits on the surface of the water and is accompanied by a 'fishy smell'. Testing is currently being conducted to discover the cause of the algae, with one suggestion that it has been caused by an upwelling of colder nutrient-rich water. The algae in question is actually thought to be blue-green algae, which is often brown, red or pink in colour. An old lady died while smoking on the toilet, she was there for 2 weeks before being discovered and removed.
  5. On September 10, 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen of Fruita, Colorado, United States, had his mother-in-law around for supper and was sent out to the yard by his wife to bring back a chicken. Olsen chose a five-and-a-half-month-old cockerel named Mike. The axe missed the jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact. Despite Olsen's botched handiwork, Mike was still able to balance on a perch and walk clumsily; he even attempted to preen and crow, although he could do neither. After the bird did not die, a surprised Mr. Olsen decided to continue to care permanently for Mike, feeding him a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper; he was also fed small grains of corn. This picture has such a funny story. After this man came home from the war, he was on his way home, so excited, when he grabbed this lady and kissed her. A random photographer saw it and snapped the picture. Everyone at the time was obsessed with this picture, and the man was greatly wanted by movies and newspapers, but they never found him…then he popped up on the news 60 years later. The reason he never revealed his true identity was because he was married, and he didn’t want his wife seeing the picture and getting mad at him for kissing another woman. strongest girl at the age of 12...
  6. Dad and Son Addicted to Heroin Elephants head to the river at the Anantara Golden Triangle resort in northern Thailand. Black Ivory Coffee, started by Canadian coffee expert Blake Dinkin, is made from coffee beans that are naturally refined by a Thai elephant. It takes about 15-30 hours for the elephant to digest the beans, and later they are plucked from their dung and washed and roasted A boy left his bike chained to a tree when he went away to war in 1914. He never returned, leaving the tree no choice but to grow around the bike. Autopsy photographs taken of assassinated President John F. Kennedy. The large hole in his throat was done by medical personnel in an attempt to resuscitate him, though is often reported as an entry/exit wound according to different theories. The third bullet shattered the back of his skull and brain so attempts to perform a tracheotomy were useless.
  7. Police in Sydney, Australia, released this X-ray of the skull of Chen Liu, 27, who died after being shot in the head with a nail gun 34 times. Liu’s bound body was found in a river in November. The photo was released as part of a public plea for more information in the case. Liu is shown on the upper left in an undated photo. People attend a gun buyback event in Los Angeles. Long lines formed as gun owners turned in weapons for up to $200 worth of groceries, in a gun buyback event brought forward after the Connecticut school shooting.Authorities promised there would be no questions asked at the event, where owners handed over weapons including assault rifles and Uzis directly from their cars, in exchange for grocery store gift cards.

  14. In 1925 Ruth Snyder a housewife from Queens New York decided to have her husband killed by his would-be replacement her boyfriend, Henry Judd Gray, a corset salesman. Together the pair planned her husband’s, Albert’s death, but not before Ruth talked her husband into signing a life insurance policy that would pay off extra if he were attacked and died by an act of violence. Ruth and Henry, neither of whom were exactly well read, tried various methods of disposing of poor Albert, but finally gave up when he began to become difficult to handle. The couple garroted Albert and when they failed to kill him quickly enough they stuffed rags soaked in chloroform up his nose. After Albert died in agonizing death, the couple tried to make the place seem as if it had been broken into, but the cops didn’t buy it. Cornered, the pair told on one another and both received the death penalty. Ruth Snyder was among few women to have ever been put on the death by electrocution, a far more merciful death than Albert Snyder experienced. Tom Howard, the man who got the famous photograph of her execution posed as a writer, arrived early in Sing Sing Prison and took up a vantage position. A miniature camera was strapped to his left ankle, the shutter release button was concealed within his jacket. As Snyder’s body shook from the jolt, Howard hoisted his pant leg and secretly snapped with a one-use camera.
  15. Gas War Resistant Pram (England, Hextable, 1938) “A resident of Hextable in Kent, invented a gas proof pram in which a baby could be kept safe during an air raid. The pram has an air-tight lid provided with a window and with a gas mask filter. A rubber bulb at the rear is squeezed at intervals forcing the stale air out and replacing it with fresh air drawn in through the filter” A 2500 year old mummy that had some amazing tattoos.
  16. Sending a child through the post, 1900 “After parcel post service was introduced, at least two children were sent by the service. With stamps attached to their clothing, the children rode with railway and city carriers to their destination. The Postmaster General quickly issued a regulation forbidding the sending of children in the mail after hearing of those examples.”
