The Internet has brought many benefits to our lives - from the ability to contact anyone and anywhere to photos of pink-cheeked babies and fluffy kittens. However, it has a dark side. Brave researchers of the depths of the World Wide Web know: in its depths are hidden sites whose contents can cause disgust or horror even for trained viewers.
For those who like to tickle their nerves, we offer a selection of 10 Internet sites - unpleasant, nasty, scary and shocking.
10. Human shell
Opens our selection of the most creepy places on the Internet site is relatively innocent. The goal of Skinsight is to help people suffering from any kind of skin disease find reliable information about diseases and how to treat them.
The authors of the site say that the method of combining photos with text works best. And the photos here are great. All skin diseases are documented with frightening clarity. Not only that, if you are curious about what types of rashes, blackheads and ulcers are common in your area, you can filter the database on the site by these criteria. And start itching on the nerves.
9. What do not talk in the living room
It is no secret that the Internet has its own page for everything. And one of the nastiest parts of the Web called Number Two Guide is by no means an exception. On this site, caring creators have posted a sea of information related to the waste of the human body.
There you can find a dictionary of feces, stories on this exciting topic, and even a reader, with which the visitor can figure out how many kilograms of brown substance he has produced in his entire life.
And with a suitable mood (and a complete lack of squeamishness) you can look into the "Ratings" section. There, website visitors sharing this hobby post photos of their “works” and even give them ratings. In terms of appearance, shape, structure and consistency.
8. Edarem
Some earn a fresh face and provocations, others try to go on gaming popularity, others discuss politics ... But Edward Muskar decided to go the other way.
Taking advantage of the fact that nature awarded him a strange appearance and acting talent, he took the pseudonym Edarem and began to upload videos on YouTube, where he mostly grimaced to popular songs. This he quickly gained popularity among fans of the strange. True, his stellar career lasted only three years, from 2006 to 2009.
As it turned out, in the early eighties Muskar was convicted of pedophilia, served time and was released subject to a number of conditions. One of them was a ban on computer ownership. So, despite all the fan support, Edward was convicted of violating the release regime and sent to prison, where he died three years later. But to this day, Edarem continues to enjoy the fame of one of the most crypto video bloggers on YouTube.
7. The cycle of life
It is difficult to say how many people die on the globe during the time that you read these lines. And not because humanity has not yet invented a way to do this, but because death is a phenomenon so common that it is of little interest to others. Of course, if it's not a movie star or a famous politician.
Therefore, counting deaths on the World Births and Deaths website is pure speculation. True, based on existing statistics and the average life expectancy of residents of different countries.
The site is a map of the globe on which ominous red inscriptions appear from time to time - someone has died somewhere. True, if you do not want gloomy, World Births and Deaths offers to turn off death and leave only birth. So the picture looks much more optimistic.
6. Gates to heaven
The sect "Heaven's Gate" gained worldwide fame in 1997, when its members ate a portion of sweet cream seasoned with barbiturates, washed down with alcohol and fell asleep forever. Each was dressed in the same uniform - a black T-shirt, pants and boots. Next to them was a bag with things, with which they intended to rise after death on a spaceship and go to the highest level. This ship was allegedly hiding from the uninitiated in the lush tail of Comet Hale-Bopp, which was then approaching Earth. In just four days, 39 people committed suicide in the villa of the sect.
More than twenty years have passed since then, but the Heaven's Gate website still exists. Some of the surviving members of the sect still support it in its original form until now. On it you can find excerpts from the sacred texts of the cult and recording the speeches of their leader. Although, of course, since then no new information has appeared on it. The most recent update was in that very 1997, shortly before the mass suicide. The site’s contact address is still working.
5. Census of wrecks
Over the past couple of decades, the achievements of science and technology have turned planes into one of the safest modes of transport.
However, life is still a cruel thing, and still planes are falling, and people are dying. And it became certain people - we don’t even know what to call it, probably, “interesting” - what happens to the plane and living creatures inside in the last moments before nonexistence.
For this, the Plane Crash Info website was created, where everyone can find all the available information about all the plane crashes in the history of aviation. Including a detailed description of the events leading up to the accident. And even the voices from the "black boxes", reaching us many years after the death of their owners.
4. Last words of suicide bombers
Human life in the eyes of the state and society is becoming increasingly valuable. Even if this is the life of a dangerous person, a criminal.
According to statistics, most countries of the world, if they have not abolished the death penalty completely, adhere to a moratorium on its implementation - this means that at least over the past ten years, death sentences have not been carried out on their territory. And although in 56 states the death penalty officially exists, few actually use it.
But there are exceptions - for example, the Muslim countries of Africa, Asia, communist China, Japan and the United States. The stronghold of democracy uses the death penalty often and willingly; for example, in 1994, 328 people were executed there. And of all states, Texas loves her most. According to statistics, a third of death sentences are in Texas courts.
Moreover, the Texans are so fond of this national legal tradition that they even set up a special site where they index the last words of prisoners before their death. True, lovers of horror stories will be more likely to be disappointed, because the last words of suicide bombers are usually addressed to their loved ones and imbued with love and tenderness.
3. Real crime scene photos
In almost all countries, crime scene photographs do not go beyond specialized institutions (courts and police). However, this does not mean that lovers to tickle their nerves can not lay their hands on them. Often there is a person who, in search of profit or fighting for justice (as he understands it) puts them on public display.
So there are shocking sites with real photos from crime scenes. Crime Online is far from an isolated occurrence. However, among a number of similar ones, it stands out for its quality of performance and ease of use. Here you can find photos from crime scenes of many serial killers, including Ted Bundy and Manson.
Far from all dead bodies are imprinted on everyone, but to some extent there are more terrible things. For example, photographs of pots and pans in which the cannibal killer prepared his lunch from parts of human bodies.
2. Souvenirs of death
Murders have accompanied humanity throughout its history. There have always been people who are ready to take life from their neighbors, if it brings benefits. And there have always been people who at least do not commit crimes, but are very, very interested in them. They no longer have to watch documentaries about serial killers, they want something more material.
Therefore, there are sites like Murder Auction, where you can buy things that touched the hands of killers. There are no bloodied knives or bullets deformed from firing into the human body, since everything found at the crime scene is the property of the state. So fans of the sharp one have to confine themselves to playing cards, old newspapers and Christmas cards with the signature of the killers.
1. Revelations of the serial killer
If you've never heard of Edward Duncan, the Iowa serial killer, then you're in luck. He is one of America’s most violent criminals; his last victim was a family of five. We will not tell you exactly what and how he did, but the fact that the American judicial system sentenced him to two death sentences and three life sentences gives an idea of the gravity of his crimes.
He was sentenced in 2008. In the United States, the bench is usually separated from lethal injection by about ten years. It’s necessary to somehow occupy them, right? So Duncan started a blog on the Internet. And the name chose a rather pretentious - The Fifth Nail (fifth nail). There he describes his thoughts, dreams, indulges in memories, writes letters and even keeps a record of books he has read.
