If you’re like me, you can’t get enough of the “murder shows” on television, or the murder podcasts that proliferate online. There’s something fascinating about a mystery, but I don’t know…if they haven’t been solved yet, it’s a bit unsatisfying. That’s not so with these 13 mysteries, because we know exactly whodunnit – so if...

There’s no doubt that people love a good bit of murder and mystery. True crime shows are more popular than ever, and the revival of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix, along with a bunch of open-ended podcasts, have grabbed the public’s attention and held on. That said, sometimes it’s nice to know that the mystery has been...

Have you ever had that feeling where you just need to get something off your chest, but for one reason or another, saying it face to face seems to be too daunting a task? Whether it’s that writing it down gives you more time to sort your thoughts or taking the time offers you the...

There are some jobs that we like to think are more calling and duty than a paycheck, and policing is definitely one of them. Every profession has its tough days, though, no matter how much you love your work, and even those of us who would give every last drop to the job have days...

Here’s something that’s sad but true – if you get to live a few years, you’ll have more than one memory of a time when you were really and truly scared. That’s just life, my friends, and we all learn how to cope with it in our own ways. If one of the ways you cope...

Some people say that the scariest stories are always the ones that are true, but I don’t know…maybe those people just haven’t read a really good book? Because I’ve read some tales that definitely spooked me well! That said, some of the stories below are true, others are not, so you can decide for yourself...

There are people who love creepy stuff, no matter what form it takes or how they can get that knowledge into their brains. We watch creepy television shows, we read weird books, and we can’t get enough of those true crime podcasts that seem to crawl out of the woodwork on a regular basis. If...

When you were a kid, did you have a book called Scary Stories to Read in the Dark? Did you actually read it in the dark, or were you smarter than me and realized you definitely should read it while the sun is still up? Either way, you’ll know what sort of person you are now and...

Every job is hard some days, but some occupations – like an officer of the law – has harder days than most. I’ve got to think they also get pretty high highs, but those days when things are rough, I imagine they can be absolutely devastating. Or, as you’re about to read, really scary. Really...

I would guess that the majority of people who get busted by authorities aren’t the smartest bulbs in the box. There’s a reason they’re caught, of course, but also perhaps a reason they’re in the situation of breaking the law in the first place. There are always people who defy the odds, though, right –...

We’re all happy to have an emergency number to call when something goes seriously awry in our lives. There are so many people who have been saved, in one way or another, by the arrival of help just in the nick of time. That said, it can be difficult to educate the general public on...

As much as we like life to be neat and tidy, it’s just not. Things can get messy, and no matter how badly you want a certain happening or event to have a logical explanation, sometimes it just doesn’t. Believe me, if these 34 people could figure out a way to explain the things that...

If there’s one thing I know for sure about human beings, it’s that they will always find a way to surprise you. This could be in a good way, or a bad way, but it will definitely happen if you wait long enough. If you’re a nurse or someone else who works in healthcare, those...

If you work in healthcare, chances are you get to know the inner thoughts and troubles of more strangers than you do your actual friends and family. Secrets and things people would rather keep to themselves come pouring out when medical attention is needed, and so most healthcare workers have probably heard it all. Which...

It can sometimes feel as if we use the terms ‘climate change‘ and ‘global warming’ interchangeably, but should we? Are they they same? Is the difference important? If you’re someone who’s curious – or just someone who always likes to be as accurate as possible – then read on, because we’ve got some good information...
