Fact: there are a lot of evil people out there in the world.
It’s a cold, hard fact of life…
But hopefully, most of us can avoid pure evil…unlike these folks on AskReddit who shared their stories.
Have a look for yourself.
1. Scary.
“My ex neighbour. He wasn’t drugged out or anything.
Someone owed him $20 so he decided to beat him to d**th with a tomahawk. Even the police had trouble identifying the body.
Also while he was on trial for that he st**bed another inmate in the eye with a pen.”
2. Buffalo.
“I saw a man beating what was apparently his 3 year old grandaughter with basically a tree branch.
He was an elderly guy, had to have been 70 or so. This was in the middle of the city, god knows where he even got that thing. This was in Buffalo, New York. Immediately got involved, and I and some bystanders got the cops and they carted the guy away.
He was going on and on about how many times he’d been arrested before, almost bragging. The girl had such sadness in her eyes that it never left me, and when I approached the guy to make him stop, the little girl actually ran up to him and was hugging his leg.
She must have been so used to a**se at that point that she didn’t recognize how evil this person was.. the look in her eyes was heartbreaking. I had gone to that city alone randomly to check it out and see what it had to offer, and that was the FIRST THING I saw upon leaving my car.
It broke me and I just spent the whole night at the hotel, then just randomly walking the streets.”
3. Creep.
“Seeing my friend’s dad leering at us.
He was later convicted of r**ing her, he’d been doing it since she was 5.”
4. Lack of emotion.
“When I was a teenager I used to volunteer in the preschool at church. One week I was helping with the 2- year-olds.
We had a new girl come in. Tiny and adorable. By the end of Sunday school class all the other kids were terrified of her. With absolutely no expression on her face, and totally silent, she had attempted to strangle a little boy, bit another hard enough to draw blood, smacked a girl across the face, poured her drink out on another, and pinched and kicked me and the other volunteer repeatedly.
Not to mention dumping her snack on the floor while staring me in the eye, throwing toys in the garbage, and attempting to pull the microwave off the counter. I’ve dealt with difficult children before, but her totally lack of emotion was very unnerving.”
5. This is awful.
“When I worked in a convenience store, I served an elderly lady who had a lot of shopping.
She had two heavy bags full of food. I packed her bags for her and a colleague of mine offered to help her take them to her car when she said she didn’t have a car and was going home by bus. Then a woman who was standing nearby asked her which bus she was getting, said she was going the same way and offered to carry her shopping to the bus stop.
The elderly lady was happy with this arrangement, thanked the woman profusely and handed her shopping over. They both left the store together, then the woman broke into a run and took off with both bags of food, jumping onto a nearby bus and then laughing & giving the finger to the elderly woman stranded on the pavement as the bus drove away.
I have to wonder about the soul of those who willingly take advantage of vulnerable people!”
6. Still a mystery.
“This only hit me after the fact.
In my teens, one of the guys who was at all the parties was this dude Kyle. He was honestly a great dude. He’d be there to clean stuff up the day after, he’d walk you to the bathroom and hold your hair while you vommed , solid guy.
One morning, I get a call from my friend Kelsey, she said “turn on the f**king news!”
There was Kyle. He had beaten a kid to d**th with a chain, stole his bank cards and car, and drove around with the kids body in the trunk for a week before being caught.
He was facing the d**th penalty, but the kids parents asked for him to get life in prison, no parole instead, which is what he got.
He is still a mystery to me. He never once seemed evil to me, but he went and did soMe ghastly s**t nobody expected from him.”
7. May they burn in Hell.
“I did a stint in the army in Kosovo in 1999. Where we were based were tons of stray dogs and cats.
Some fellow soldiers were finding it fun to throw a puppy out of the top floor window and then proceeded to throw a kitten down a very deep drain and laugh as it meowed.
I was literally screaming at them to get it out but they found this even more funny. The look on one guys face was just pure evil as if he lived for their/my misery.”
8. Terrifying.
“I was probably the last person (non family member) who talked to my coworker the night before he bludgeoned, disemboweled, beheaded his wife and daughter.
He also attempted to do this to his son, but the son caught a glancing blow to the head, and was so bloody he slipped away. My coworker also attempted his own life, but knives hurt.
I think he got 90+ years.”
9. The chills.
“At a gas station one time, I crossed paths with the ex-spouse of a serial k**ler and r**ist.
The ex-wife managed to get a plea deal despite being implicated in the torture and m**der of her own sister.
The pure evil I saw in that woman’s face in the split second when I recognized her still chills me almost 5 years later.”
10. Manipulator.
“This is a few weeks after splitting with my wife and i received a call from her phone with my 4 year old daughter bawling her eyes out saying Daddy why dont you love us any more? (She included my younger son).
I got through that call as best I could despite the shock i was in from recieving it. A few weeks later when i picked my daughter and son up from their mums house I asked my daughter why she said that and her response was that i hadn’t pick them up when i should have done and mummy had told them that i didnt love them any more.
Apparently, the mum had told them i was picking them up on a certain day and had got them ready, with coats and shoes on etc, but i clearly hadn’t arrived. I cant imagine the amount of stress that the children must have felt as time passed by and i didnt arrive.
Manipulating innocent children is EVIL!”
11. Ouch.
“My sister kicked one of our other sisters in the crotch a few days after she’d had surgery on her abdomen, which resulted in the removal of one of her Fallopian tubes and an ovary (her surgery, not the kick).
Worst part is she did this in front of our dad, who kind of told her off. How did she reply? “It is what it is.” For further clarification, the ages of the two sisters were 25 (the kicker) and 18.”
12. Fred.
“I drove a medical transport vehicle for a year in college and one of the patients was a former Hell’s Angels enforcer named Fred. None of the other drivers liked driving Fred, but I was new so my boss gave me the routes.
By the 4th trip, I understood why no one likes driving him. He was too old, feeble and in poor health to carry out any v**lence, so instead he talked about all the v**lence he committed during his “glory days.”
I am absolutely certain that Fred has forgotten 90% of the places where he hid the bodies, but that still left him with scores to talk about. He would always preface it with, “Hypothetically, if I did have a guy that needed getting rid of…” followed by:
I would look for a construction site
I would go to the swamp in LA
I would get some cinder blocks, an ice pick and wire
I would talk to my buddy at the dump
I would head down to the car crusher lot and look for a [specific make/model] that I could easily pop the trunk lock on
Jesus f**k, Fred had a lot of ways to dispose of bodies. He never described how he m**dered the people in detail, but he’d drop hints so your imagination filled in the rest. Fred is the reason why I h**e the t**ture p**n horror genre. It’s not fictional when you’ve spent months driving the antagonist of those movies who lived a long, punishment-free life around to his dialysis appointments.”
Have you ever witnessed pure evil?
If so, tell us your story in the comments.
Thanks a lot!
