@@ТодорРогошев are you speaking of the Austrian(German?) family? If so yeah that was badddd. Kidnapped by your own Dad and kept in a windowless room for a decade. Being s/a’d over and over and over and made to bear your fathers children and give birth with no medical help. One of the babies died as a result but the interesting thing about that was Fritzel actually showed some humanity at the end by giving himself up so he could save his Granddaughter. There’s an important lesson to be learned by that: even the most evil among us are capable of good, and even the very “best” of us are capable of evil.

Also something to note about Roebspierre’s death. He had a chronic autoimmune disease known as sarcoidosis. It causes pockets of inflammation called granulomas to appear all over the body. If untreated, it can wreak havoc on almost every organ, and by the time Robespierre was to be executed, his liver and kidneys were already in complete failure, and his lungs were filled with inflammation. On top of the jaw, it must have been excruciating. It’s also hypothesized that his mental breakdown was due to sarcoidosis.

You forgot to mention Scotland whilst discussing the black death, In Edinburgh there is a popular tourist attraction known as Mary King's close, which is almost like a window into the past. It's an underground street, which wasnt always underground. A popular myth is that plague victims were sealed inside the close and it was built over with the people still inside, though that has been proven to be untrue. Plague victims inside the close were actually given food and water, in any case it's an extremely intresting place to visit and gives you a window in the past during the black death.

The last surviving member of the Howard Carter expedition, Richard Adamson, didn't believe that there was any curse of Tutankhamen. I read an interview conducted by ARAMCO magazine (that is available online) He was the chief guard of the expedition and a British Army veteran of World War I. He spent seven years guarding the tomb and went to sleep inside of it, right next to the coffin in the later days of the expedition once they'd cleared the rest of the tomb. ARAMCO paid for him to visit Egypt and the tomb for the magazine article in 1981. Since handicapped facilities didn't exist in Egypt at the time, porters carried him and his wheelchair onto boats, up and down stairs, and even into the tomb itself.

The Hinterkaifeck- case was most definitely NOT the work of a deranged individual, but a group of organised people! It's not like someone stealthily killed one after the other or somehow managed to defeat them all and let none escape. No. They were rounded up, tied down and summarily executed. The police was stereotypical in their incompetence and the timing of the event could have been significant. (Germany loosing WWI and different groups fighting each other and planning to overthrow the government) BTW: the location was an Einödhof. This means that it was a farm in the middle of nowhere. It's name Hinterkaifeck is so archaic that no modern German would understand it.

There is a horror story based on soviet russia “psychologists,” even if not specifically Nikolay Krasnogorsky. It’s a creepypasta called the Russian Sleep Experiment. And frankly, it’s terrifying because it seems somewhat believable. The human mind is fragile and capable of disturbing breakdowns (as seen in the case of serial killers). Of course, we wouldn’t know and hopefully never will know if the “experiment results” are accurate to what would happen in real life. To conduct a similar experiment would be a crime against humanity, no? However, consider how you act and feel when you pull an all nighter. Now imagine being a prisoner of war in a lab at the same time, not knowing what those “scientists” are doing. Severe stress, possible trauma due to being on the battlefield, and lack of sleep? For seven straight days? *You. Would. Break.* Anyways, yeah, there’s plenty of horror film potential for Soviet Russian human experiments.

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! 7:00 I heard there is a new movie being made on that event.. starring Leonardo DiCaprio. 🥶

[@arielraine1642]

I wasn't aware of this till about a year or so ago, but apparently my grandfather was involved in handling the deceased from Jonestown when they came to the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. I don't know too much about it, but I can't imagine what he must have felt. My grandfather and I may not have had a good relationship, but that's something I certainly can give him credit for.

ALIEN Best movie of ALL time

[@Lanwarder]

lol king tut's curse....Did you know that Howard Carter great great great grand son died while eating shrimp even though he was allergic to shrimp........SURELY THAT'S A CURSE!!!! (nothing about this hypothetical scenario is real, I'm just trying to say how ridiculous that "curse" is)

How is someone being hanged " Scarier Than Horror Movies"?

[@retro.raider]

when I first watched "Schindlers List" I thought it was a fictional event made up for the movie. Imagine my horror when I found out the Holocaust was very very real. 15 year old me literally couldn't imagine humans doing that to each other.

[@Hermititis]

Your education never covered WWII or the holocaust until you were 15? Might I ask, where were you raised?

[@SuperJoshdave]

Are you German how else could you not know

[@retro.raider]

@@Hermititis I was raised in suburban Australia. An hour outside of Melbourne. We learned our history and a little about the First World War. The Holocaust wasn’t in our curriculum. I also went to a shitty public school so that could have something to do with it.

[@retro.raider]

@@SuperJoshdave lmao no I’m Australian born and bred. Didn’t learn about it until very late Highschool.

[@Hermititis]

@@retro.raider , huh. That's really odd, given that Australia joined WWII when the UK did & had almost 1 million people who served. Do other schools in Australia wait until later grades to cover world history, or was that atypical? Outsidecof school, were there not a lot of movies, TV shows or books set during that time period?

Where’s the Russian sleep experiment

[@gaetanperrussel5040]

.... in the "creepypastas and urban legends" where it belongs, between the Slenderman and Jeff the killer, I suppose. We know what happen when someboby is deprived of sleep for a long period : he becomes weaker and weaker, delusionnal (from the brain mixing signals) and die in a matter of 10 to 15 days (multivisceral failure between the exhausted brain and the cardio-respiratory system acting erratic due to incoherent signals sent by the aforementionned brain) like any mammal. And we know that since AT LEAST the 40s (you think Cold-War russians were scary and unethical, try imperial Japan and the experiments of Unit 731 and enjoy the nightmares).

I remember studying the Stamford prison experiment 😮 also the Jones town massacre always shocks me when ever it’s mentioned

Waterloo, like the song by ABBA. (1974)

The retelling of the Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii is usually exaggerated, yes the eruption killed 2,000 people in Pompeii but about 20,000 people lived there at that time, so we're talking about 18,000 survivors that movies don't show you.

[@appleandaria6947]

How did those 18000 people escape?!

[@ChibiProwl]

​@@appleandaria6947 According to Wikipedia, the eruption lasted two days. The first day rained pumice and ash which allowed residents to escape. Though.... Wikipedia admits that the exact death toll remains unknown.

[@appleandaria6947]

@@ChibiProwl Why would people stay after the first day? They had to have known it was dangerous!

[@oscarf5433]

@@appleandaria6947 Amazingly easy, they just ran Eastbound where the fury of the volcano couldn't reach them.

[@oscarf5433]

@@appleandaria6947 Well, malaria and other maladies were common in those days so many of them were sick, many others were eldery or orphans and apparently some others were overzealous believes that they had to stay and perform the ritual of the Vulcanalia the religious festival of fire god Vulcan. Others may just had been too worried about looters and stayed home.

[@mikestanislaus1107]

The eruption of Vesuvius cannot be compared to the eruption of Mt. Pelee, which wiped out an entire city's population (save 2) in 2 minutes, 121 years ago today. And trust me, the events leading up to that horrible climax make for good horror story fare.
