Life can be scary.
And it can also be incredibly disturbing.
And today we’re about to hear true stories from folks on AskReddit about the most disturbing things they’ve ever seen.
Let’s see what they had to say.
1. Yikes.
“The aftermath of a s**cide.
Dude shot himself in the driver seat of his car. His parents were there and I remember seeing his mom in his passenger seat crying over his body.
It was my first time seeing anything like that and that s**t caused a physical pain in the chest.”
2. Terrible.
“Saw the aftermath of a coyote getting hit by a truck. The poor thing was dragging its back legs, howling in pain trying to get away.
I’ve never seen something so graphic in real life. The man who hit the coyote was in full panic mode, hands over his face, head and squatting and sobbing.”
3. Diabetes.
“Someone’s foot rotted off.
Diabetes is no joke.
She was crying so hard from pain.”
4. In the middle of the night.
“The body of my late wife laying next to me in bed.
She had a heart attack in the middle of the night at age 47, and I slept right through it.”
5. A tragedy.
“Video footage of The Station Nightclub Fire.
Hearing the horrifying screams of so many people burning to d**th all at once was traumatizing.”
6. Terrible accident.
“A guy who got crushed when an 18 wheeler tipped over and landed on his legs. He slowly bled out and he was stuck.
The worst part was he was crying for his mom at the end. Can’t say I wouldn’t do the same. You think that’s just a cliche but it’s real.”
7. Psychosis.
“A normal, healthy person I love went into psychosis. It’s like nothing you have seen in the movies or read about.
It’s like someone takes over their body and you want to bring them back so badly. There is so very little help out there and you feel absolutely helpless. To look at someone who loves you and know that they can’t recognize you is heartbreaking. I really believe I have PTSD from this event.
BTW, this person is doing great right now. I am in therapy because of this and other trauma. And I have learned it is way more common than we think for a person to enter psychosis get better and never have another episode again. Sadly we still don’t know enough about this.”
8. OMG.
“I clean up crime scenes and similar for a living.
A very obese man with a chronic disease, lived alone with no family or support system. Ill, homebound, immobile in an easy chair, maybe knew he was dying soon. Ordered Chinese delivery his last days, used the empty containers for his urine and feces, stacked them around the chair on the floor, coffee table, TV, end table, TV tray, etc.
Maybe 100 containers in all. Ultimately, he d**d in that chair, liquified, and the fluids pooled in his lower extremities, swelled and blew out his feet and formed a puddle on the tile floor, with this whole scene in the center of it. Looked like some sort of end times altar or sacrifice of sorts.”
9. Pinch point.
“Watched a co-worker, a crane operator, spotting another crane operator that was moving a large pipe.
The pipe swung around and pinned the spotter, crushing the middle of his body. His blood and guts came out his bottom, and more blood out of his mouth.
Three things I’ll never forget: his expression, the smell, and to always be mindful of surroundings; a pinch point could end you easily.”
10. New Orleans.
“A d**d teenager getting ignored on the sidewalk in the French Quarter in New Orleans.
One evening, right before dusk, I was walking to work from the bus. On Canal street, which was VERY busy in regards to foot traffic, right before you get to the Walgreens, there was a d**d teenager laying face up on the sidewalk. VERY visible. Nothing to obscure him from anyones view.
It wasn’t that he was d**d that made it my choice for this answer. It was everyone ignoring him. Walking by or over someone’s d**d child. One of his shoes was in the street, and he was laying perfectly flat, so someone moved him after he was either hit by a car or possibly stabbed in the back.
This was during the final big week of Mardi Gras, so there were tourists everywhere in addition to locals. They were more interested in getting to Bourbon Street to get drunk[er] than pausing to see if someone’s young teenager was okay.
You couldn’t tell he was d**d unless you really paid attention, otherwise you would have thought he was just passed out. Even still, he looked about 14/15… you stop. This wasn’t just another passed out drunk tourist or homeless guy, this was a CHILD.”
11. Drive carefully.
“Car accident I was in back in 2007.
A guy ran a redlight running from police. I was in a lifted truck. I ran clear over his car he was doing 80 mph I was doing 30.
Peeled the roof off his car. His head was in his lap hanging on by a thread of flesh.”
12. Incredibly disturbing.
“I used to be into riding motorcycles.
Watched a buddy of mine lose control and hit a pole. His helmet must’ve caught on something because it literally ripped his head from his body. Had to drag his headless body away from the road so cars wouldn’t run over it.
Still have nightmares about it years later.”
Now we want to hear from you.
