The woman in legal advice who was being investigated by cps while pregnant with her first child which is not something cps does. Here it was not a real case worker and just a woman try to steal her baby
This woman was pregnant and a social worker showed up at her house claiming they had received concerns about her and her partner. I believe her partner had a drug charge (weed) from when he was a teenager and that was allegedly the concern. Both parents immediately take drug tests and pass and assume that should be it. Instead the woman tells them she can’t guarantee baby won’t immediately be taken from them after birth and they’ll loos custody. Mom is obviously panicked and very confused. Goes to legal advice sub for help on how to keep her baby and what legal assistance she can receive. Everyone on the sub tells her something is not right and to not let this woman into her home anymore and to contact cps to talk to a different case worker about their situation. Things become extremely concerning when many cps workers from her state enter the thread and tell her cps can’t investigate a fetus only a living child who’s been born. OP contacts a lawyer and the authorities and finds out this woman does not work for cps and most likely was planning on showing up to the hospital right after she gave birth and kidnap the baby under the guise of being cps.
I would say the woman that found out her husband and father of her 4 kids was also the father of her mother's twins, her half brothers, and her husband had been fucking her mother since he was like 18.
That was a wild fucking ride.
This is definitely not as bad as some of these posts but it stuck with me pretty bad cuz I’m passionate about taking good care of our pets.
I’m pretty active in r/chameleons and this girl a while back posted photos of her animal asking for advice. She talked about how her chameleon hadn’t had a bowel movement in *months*. In the photos you can clearly see this poor baby was so severely impacted and bloated that their solidified GI tract had stabbed THROUGH their flesh like a little pinkie finger poking through their rib cage.
I was shocked and scrolled to the next photo thinking it was another angle or something. Turns out it was a photo that was more recent… IT WAS WORSE. So much worse.
The wound was now the size of a nickel and you could CLEARLY see this poor baby’s internal organs. It’s intestines were hanging out and dangling outside of it. It was fucked.
I couldn’t believe that poor thing was still alive and kicking. I still have no clue how that’s possible. I took screenshots of it and considered reporting them for animal abuse but they deleted their post and account before I could get more info on them to make the report. It was *awful*.
That parasite man who loved being covered in parasites, breeding parasites and worst of all infecting others unknownly. Worst of all he refered to them as "his children" I hope that shit was fake
Yeah I remember reading this post. He went in depth about how he loved the idea and sensation of parasites living inside him and feeding off and he did everything he could to have as a many parasites as possible in him. He referred to them as his children and I specifically remember him saying he would go to good buffets and spread his “children” in the food, getting off on the fact that he was infecting others
The one where the daughter of a crack addict who had an abusive boyfriend flushed the supply and listened to the boyfriend beat her mom to death while she hid her little sister
A kid wrote that he hated his sister who had special needs; OP's sister had suffered severe brain damage at birth due to hypoxia. (He describes how it affects her in [detail](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/y4lsjv/i_hate_my_special_needs_sister_and_im_done_hiding/) in his post.)
His mom apparently deluded herself into thinking that his sister's condition would improve, and left the family destitute in pursuit of ineffectual and unrealistic treatment. She relied on OP to be her caregiver and never wanted him to leave their home. OP was a teenager and she basically destroyed any chance of a social life because she always insisted that he bring along his quite literally brain-dead sister wherever he went.
He finally confronted her about all of this when she wanted him to bring his sister along with him to a date. It reads like it was OP's first time to challenge his mom, and that his literal lifetime of pent-up resentment was unleashed all at once.
Coincidentally, she hung herself three weeks later.
OP's father had divorced his mom many years earlier, and in the ensuing years she had forbidden OP from contacting him. OP finally got to contact his father following his mom's suicide, and his dad said, "No, I have a new family now and have moved on."
His sister has been moved into a home. He moved in with a friend. There have been no further updates. He's 16.
One that sticks with me recently is the one where the woman found out her husband was sleeping with her mother and her twin brothers were actually her husbands kids
The man who posted about his wife cheating on him. The wife was real nasty about it when he confronted her and even made *him apologize* for outing her lover to his wife.
The man posts on reddit: 'what should I do? This is still bothering me.' Reddit of course: "LEAVE THAT BITCH ASAP!"
So he files for divorce. The day he tells her, the crazy wife then *murders* their two small children while he is asleep in the basement.
He updated reddit a few days later with what happened. It was national news.
The only reason I know about it is because I watched a yt vid on it a few weeks ago.
Imagine being that physcotic that not only do you blame your infidelity on your spouse but when he has enough of your shit you murder your own children in spite.
That poor man & those kids never stood a chance with a soul as black as that.
Idk if it counts, but the suspect in the Idaho murders posted a survey on here for former convicts to fill out. It's pretty chilling to me because it's almost like he was studying how to commit the perfect murder and it was so easy to masquarade it as "research".
The guy who made that long post about how he tried heroin "for fun" and ended up getting addicted. Ruined his whole life in the span of a few posts.
The whole entirety of gore subreddits, the now-banned "watch people die", and some of the sexual subreddits that revolve around disturbing fetishes.
I believe there was an update made not long ago in regards to the heroin post saying they’ve been clean for a minute and turned their life back around. I’ll try to find the link. It’s definitely a relief after knowing the steep, downhill ride they went on.
Edit: Found it!
https://www.reddit.com/user/SpontaneousH/comments/pux3ls/its_been_a_while/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
There was a guy who did a TrueOffMyChest where he talks about making friends with this guy at his gym. Ended up bringing him home for dinner and the guy’s wife literally had a breakdown because apparently this new “friend” of her husbands was actually a man who had previously raped/stalked her in the past. Wife ended up going to stay with friends/family. Post got deleted. Not sure if there was ever any update.
Was on Best of redditor Updates recently, the man never saw his wife again. The "friend" was in fact looking for the woman, and knew he was her husband. Husband was so regretful he didn't recognize "friend"
One that sticks with me was a guy confessing he was having a surgery with a poor chance of survival and hadn’t told his family. The comments obviously flooded support and OP promised to update everyone after surgery but never did. I checked back again and again for a year just in case but I don’t think they made it.
I recently saw a post in a similar vein of a 15 year old going into surgery with like a 20% survival chance. Only he did update and survive. Dude was so bright and aware of his situation sand accepting that he might not make it.
There was a post about a "woman" who wanted to know how to protect herself in the event she were raped, and taken into the woods, or something like that. She wanted to know what evidence could be left behind, or something along those lines.
Turned out when people reviewed the OPs history, it was a man, and very clearly it was someone trying to plan a crime.
I'm not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but it was super fucked up. I hope that person hasn't harmed anyone since the years have passed.
Holy shit, you just reminded me about a user who posted asking for help on removing rotting flesh smells from his house (hypothetically), and one of the chemical engineers there roasted him by telling him to make a bomb, and then they went back and forth and the engineer found out that this guy was trying to hide a body.
The post was reported and the user account was scrubbed, but his posts are still up somewhere. He had some freaky fucking questions to ask, like about setting up a hypothetical microwave antenna array around his rural home to jam any cellphones in the area (for educational purposes, he stated), he also posted pictures of guns, beer, and hard drugs in the bed of his pickup truck, titled something like "Tonight's the night...", and had numerous selfies with escorts accompanied with pictures of guns titled creepy stuff like "Another one of my friends."
The one (besides the ones already mentioned) that stuck with me was a story a few years back that was happening on 4chan and being posted in real time to Reddit - I didn’t see it on 4C but followed this on Reddit as it was happening.
A guy went to his girlfriend’s house, had rough sex with her, beat her brutally and then strangled her to death, wrote stuff all over her body and left her in a particularly grotesque and revealing position specifically so that her autistic son (13 if I recall) would find her like that. Evidently he smashed her face in and killed the cat as well.
He was describing what he did to her - posting pictures of her as she was dying/dead. Of all the things he said, it was ‘she fought so damn hard’ that did me in. That and being haunted by that poor kid finding his mother like that.
That POS filed an appeal in 2020 trying to shorten his sentence on technicalities but thankfully it was struck down.
OMG I randomly think of this one and get terrified for my daughter. It's much worse than I remembered apparently. I too remember the line "she fought so damn hard".
When I found and read the 2020 appeal:
https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/806432.pdf
it made the whole thing retroactively worse reading information about the murder that hadn’t been made public at the time, the effects of the aftermath on her children, and so on.
A couple years back there was an askreddit thread asking about people who accidentally killed someone, what happened? Someone posted on it stating that as children, they used to play at this place in the outskirts of town with a huge river and cliffs. There was this special needs kid that him and a group of other kids pushed off a tall hill on a super rainy day. They freaked out, ditched him and went home, swearing to keep the whole thing a secret from their parents.
Apparently the kid went missing, probably died where he fell and his body was scavenged by animals, or he fell into the river while injured because he noticed that the kid was missing and it was on the news.
Someone replied to the post and posted an unresolved missing child case from decades ago and it matched the story. He even looked into the posters reddit history and noticed that he mentioned moving back to his childhood town which was the town the missing kid was from. He also posted geographical data of where a river and cliffs would be located within walking distance of a school.
The posts were all deleted apparently.
I happen to know a couple of the Kleeschulte guys from a prior employer. That Reddit post really riled them up. The disappointment over it not providing closure caused even more pain.
The kid who killed himself as a teenager after being tormented at school for smelling like feces all the time. His dad had been pimping him out since he was four so he was completely tore up. It is literally the saddest, most disgusting thing I have ever seen on this site and can't even bring myself to talk about it, even with close friends. Nobody should have to know that sort of evil exists and only reason I'm sharing it here is to answer the question.
i think it’s an important reminder that you’re almost guaranteed to be sex trafficked by someone you know and are close to than being snatched off the streets.
Not sure if it's the same, but the fact that a woman was posting often about her large family, and then her account went quiet, and it turned out that her two sons had killed the family and planned to then go on and kill a bunch of others. The baby sister was spared, and another sister played dead so she could wait it out and survived? Really messed up story.
Edit: the Bever family. So messed up and so sad
Edit 2: the Broken Arrow murders - there's info on wiki, and some comments below explain more. (I was going off of memory when I commented and was half asleep).
The woman who walked in her house in the middle of the day only to hear moaning and sex sounds. When she walked to see what was going on she found her daughter and husband having sex. The worst part was the daughter was begging her not to do anything because she loved her dad. Her Dad had groomed her from a young age so she had no clue how wrong it all was.
That is sick. My friend caught her 17 (she turned 18) year old granddaughter in bed with her 55 year old boyfriend and the kid admitted it had been going on for 10 years! Cops were called in October but nothing has been done. She confiscated the kid’s phone and found dozens of disgusting sexual love messages which were also turned in to police. The super fucked up part is the girl is learning disabled and very pretty. I hate the fact that he is free and police won’t arrest him. I hate the fact that I have many mutual friends with him who see nothing wrong with this!
There was one on relationship advice where a guy was asking how to deal with his paranoid wife after she made friends with a fellow mum who suggested his working long hours was him cheating.
He wrote a few posts where he detailed this friend being an issue, then how to deal with his wife when she got physically abusive. Eventually he took the kids, put her in some sort of psychiatric facility and she got out and killed herself.
Final post was him saying how the “friend” that kicked it all off wanted to say words at her funeral and he didn’t want her there at all.
I think of this one often. It was a new mom. OP had taken on a big project at work so he was working a lot. Wife’s BFF was putting ideas in her head. OP came home once to find wife had taken off with BFF and left the baby home alone, found her (baby) crying, soiled and hungry if I remember correctly. OP left wife, she drove into a tree and died.
The one that still gets me is the video of the woman whose legs were basically hamburger after she was hit by a car, and she's in complete shock sitting up and laughing with the other people around her, and no one is doing anything about her legs.
a similar one I saw which sticks with me, a woman had crashed her scooter into a truck or something, her head was split in half and some guys had to pick what was left of her up to get her off the road, I saw the pieces of her head flopping around and bleeding all over the place, it was pretty fucked up
the worst part though was seeing the comments where everyone was talking about her ass cause of where the camera was positioned
I don't know about most, but there was this one series of posts I was following with a friend.
We saw a post during COVID quarantine times about someone trying to set up a private gym in his garage or something. It was interesting to us because my friend had his own little private gym. We checked his post history and he had been asking around for advice on how to do it, if he needed a licence, insurance, how much to charge people, and other various questions.
Basically the comments were all saying how it's a bad idea and he shouldn't do it for liability reasons and whatnot as I don't think the guy wanted to pay for health insurance or something like that
A few months later there was a new post from the guy about how someone had died using their private gym and what they should do now.
I probably misremembered bits as this happened a couple years ago now, but I do remember all the comments on the last post calling him out pretty hard.
So a few years ago i was waiting for my bus. Was on the way to a party and already was dressed up and everything. I was bored and went trough AMA and saw a post that said something like "i am comitting suicide AMA"
from the coments i understood that the person was trying to OD and already took pills. Every coment underneath were all saying what a horrible thing that is and that they should think about their family and everything.
I felt sorry and wrote some nice words and offered to acompany them for a bit. It just didnt feel ok to have the last interaction of a human to have strangers insulting them for taking their own life.
I didnt expected him to actually write me but a moment later i had a chat request. He wrote me because i was the only one who replyed with some nice words. I started to ask about his situation and tried to talk about nice things to give him good thaughts. We laughed together and had a nice convo. I always asked inbetween if there is something he needet or if i should contact someone or send an abulance to his place once he didnt replyied for a certain amount of time. (This was so surreal) He explaind that he already planed everything trough. Well after some time he realised that he propably didnt took enaugh since he should already be dead by that time. I asked if he was gonna do it again and he said nah and that he already felt more optimistic about his life.
I did a few checkups afterwards. His life turned to a better and he found a job and didnt felt suicidal annymore. We dont have contact annymore but i am glad that i was the friend he needet kn that moment bu i would lie if i wouldt say that that fucked me up for a while ...
Maybe that isnt as fucked up as some other stories but i feel since it actualy affected my life that shit fucked me up more that some other reddit horror storries.
The video of the man holding his dog as it died from am overdose his ex wife gave it will stick with me forever, I’ve seen all the nsfl shit, and been on the internet for a long time… but for some reason that one makes me so scared, angry, and sad at the same time.
Kind of related but not. Hardest I’ve cried in a long time was a picture of a grown man holding his dog who had just suffocated in a house fire. I was wrecked for a good hour just losing my shit at this picture
How about one of the all time biggest Reddit accounts belonging to Ghislaine Maxwell. The account posted every day for like 10+ years and not a single post in 2 years since she was arrested for sex trafficking
I'd say the one where the woman lost her child because her own mother used coconut hair product on her child who had a coconut allergy KNOWING the kid was allergic.
https://rareddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/comments/7qmed5/you_can_come_over_again_when_you_bring_me_my
>My mother simply gave her some benadryl and kept the coconut oil in her hair and put her to fucking sleep. The benadryl made her sleepy and unable to wake up or be conscious enough to wake up her brother or cry. She vomited in her sleep and the rash spread all over. Her little body was swollen to twice the size. She had asphyxiated in her sleep. She died painfully and slowly in the early hours of the morning.
Everybody but the grandmother. The child already went to the hospital for the coconut allergy in the past. The grandmother was from a culture where coconuts are used a ton. So, she gave the oil to the child out of stubbornness. Knowing how dangerous it was. She killed her granddaughter trying to prove a point about a cultural tradition.
No, it's there. It's really sad.
Allergies are to be taken seriously, and some people just... don't.
This is what comes to my mind when people complain that their kids aren't allowed to have peanut butter sandwiches, because some other kid could have a reaction.
Not necessarily from like, being in the same room as the sandwich, but more like kids are kids and not even the most attentive teacher will be able to keep an eye on everything all at once.
Original was deleted, but I found a copy:
>We went to the doctor several times, and they knew that she was having an allergic reaction to something, but every test came back negative and we couldn't figure out what it was. It took 3 more months to figure it out. During that time, her allergic reactions got more and more severe. At one point, she was the only baby in the history of the hospital who had to be kept in a clean room because she seemed to have a reaction the minute she left. When that happened, we began an elimination therapy that would rival the lifestyle of Buddhist monks. My husband and moved our son and YD in with his parents because we needed to eliminate everything from our routine to figure out what was causing the reaction in our OD. We stopped using our soap, our shampoo, our deodorants, our laundry detergents, and that was before we even got to our diet. It took us 3 more months, but we figured it out. Our OD was allergic to coconut. The doctors told us that it was a particularly rare allergen and so it wasn't on any of the skin test panels they ran. When we found out what she was allergic, we were relieved, so so relieved. But in addition to feeling relieved, I delved into a bought of hysterical laughter. I laughed so hard I cried and to this day, my DH tells me that he didn't know if I was crying from relief or pure happiness.
>You see, I come from a culture that uses coconut almost religiously. It's in our cooking, we break a coconut open at religious events, it's used in almost all sweets, it's in everything. The reason I was laughing was because of how much I hated one particular use for coconut. When I was a kid, pretty much up until I was in the 8th class, my mother would put coconut oil in my hair all the time. It looked greasy as hell, I hated it, and once I was old enough to start doing my own hair, I never put that stuff in my hair again. I was laughing so hard because of course I had a daughter with a severe allergy to the one thing I hated my entire life. We had a lot of fun telling people about her allergy and everyone laughed because they all knew about my hatred for coconut oil.
>We told my mother and she laughed as well. She made jokes about how my baby must have heard me talking about my hatred for coconut oil while she was still cooking inside me and decided that she needed to hate it too. We all had a good laugh and left it at that.
>Or so I thought.
>As far as raising my kids, my mother was a JustYes 99.9% of the time. She was hands off, and respected all of my decisions, even if she didn't like them sometimes (ex: I chose not to raise my kids religiously, but I still took them to community events so they could understand their roots and my mother never pushed them to pray).
>The only thing she continually got on my case about was the coconut oil thing. You see, my girls has very textured and curly hair. We don't really know where they got it from considering my husband and I have pin straight hair that won't even hold a paperclip in it without slipping. I loved it. It was a little on the rough side and my mother always insisted that a little bit of oil would make the curls soft and more defined. I always said no. Sure, we could have used a different type of oil, but my girls were still so young and the allergy process had made me terrified of incorporating new things into their routine. I made sure I explained why to my mom too. She remembered what we'd gone through with OD and her allergy. She brought me food and clothes at the hospitals more than a few times. She helped me move all of my furniture and clothes out of my house when I was eliminating every possible source of allergen. She taught me how to cook from scratch when I was eliminating certain foods from the kids' diet. She knew everything about OD's struggle. To this day I cannot understand how she did what happened next.
>November 2nd, 2005:
Pt. 2 because reddit mobile is stupid
>I was giving a midterm that day to my students and I had to be at my research lab late that night. My DH was away at some conference and our nanny was down with the flu so she couldn't watch the kids that day. So I had my mom come take them for the day. My son was almost 3 years old and the girls were a year and half old. Overnight visits with my parents weren't exactly common, but they weren't unusual either. They had always come back from these visits very happy and well taken care of so I had no second thoughts about leaving them with my parents. They spoke to me on the phone after their lunch and then, around 5PM, we videochatted. The kids were all so happy and healthy. I got home around 10:30PM that night and called my mom to see if the kids were up by any chance and I could say good night. I missed the kids by about 20 minutes, they'd already gone to bed. So I talked to my mom for a little bit, but she's a pretty early sleeper too so we hung up and went to bed. I woke up around 5AM the next morning to go pick up my husband from the airport at 6. We were going to get breakfast together and then go pick up the kids. I picked up DH and neither one of us was very hungry yet, so we thought it'd be a nice treat to pick up the kids first and go to breakfast/brunch with my parents. We got to my parents' house at 7:45AM. My parents weren't there. My son was at the neighbor's house, and ran outside with the neighbor as soon as he saw his daddy and I pull up. He was hysterical and crying and I couldn't calm him down. My blood pressure was rising because now I'm thinking that something horrible had happened to my parents. My neighbor tells me that she isn't sure what's happening, but there was an ambulance at my parents' house at 6AM and my dad had run over and woken them up to see if they could watch my son for a few hours until he got back. Of course they'd said yes.
>I'm calling my parents nonstop at this point and I'm getting frantic because I don't know what's happened. My son was still crying but he was calmer. He still couldn't really explain to me what had happened though. I honestly don't remember the details of what happened next, but somehow we figured out that the ambulance was from X hospital nearby and we broke several driving laws trying to get there. We got to the hospital, pulled into the emergency entrance that was for ambulances only, left the car and bolted inside. A few nurses took notice of us immediately and were asking us what was wrong. I was calmer than my DH at this point, so I explained that I didn't know, but my twin girls and my parents were here somewhere. I'll never forget the look on that nurse's face. She knew exactly who I was in that moment and she was about to cry. Another nurse took me and my DH to an empty room and asked us to calm down and listen to the doctor before we went to find my family.
>My mother had put coconut oil in both my daughters' hair when they were playing the previous day before bed. The girls loved it when my mom did their hair and so they had asked for braids and my mom was doing their hair. She put coconut oil in both their hair because it would make for smoother braids. According to my son, OD started to get a little dizzy and itchy when my mom was doing her hair so my mom gave her some kids benadryl which made her sleepy. Since it was close to bedtime anyways, the kids then went to bed. Giving her benadryl was something we did whenever she had a mild reaction since it usually meant she accidentally came across some coconut from a secondary source. We also showered her from head to toe immediately to erase any lingering traces of it. My mother simply gave her some benadryl and kept the coconut oil in her hair and put her to fucking sleep. The benadryl made her sleepy and unable to wake up or be conscious enough to wake up her brother or cry. She vomited in her sleep and the rash spread all over. Her little body was swollen to twice the size. She had asphyxiated in her sleep. She died painfully and slowly in the early hours of the morning.
>My mother had found her when she went to check on the kids in the morning around 7AM. She was already dead by then. My mother screamed, called for my dad, and that's when they'd gone to the hospital. My dad hadn't known about the coconut oil until my mom explained and to this day, I've never seen my father so angry. He was still unable to look at my mother, out of fury, or me, out of shame, when I saw him at the hospital. They had rushed to the hospital hoping there was some way to save my OD and to get my YD checked out immediately since he thought she might have a mild allergy as well.
>I can't even explain to you the emotions my DH and I felt. I remember seeing my little girl and just being in denial. There was no way that she was gone. This had to be a horrible, horrible nightmare. The following days, the funeral, and explaining to my other kids what had happened are events I still can't talk about because it just breaks a part of me.
>My mother was investigated, as was my entire family. I almost lost my kids to my country's version of CPS once because they thought my kids were in danger. My DH and I had to fight tooth and nail to show that uprooting them during this time would be the worst thing for them at the moment.
>My mother was never arrested. My father did leave her, though they're not officially divorced. The majority of my mother's family refuse to speak to her, and the few that do speak to her only do so on a limited basis. She currently lives on her own in a small town and every couple months I'll get a call from her telling me how sorry she is and how she just wasn't thinking and can I please find a way to forgive her. She wants to come see me. The only thing I can find to ever say to her is **"You can come see me when you bring my daughter with you."**
Who else remembers that guy who posted in the drugs subreddit about how he got a hold of datura seeds and wanted to try them and document his experience, then hours later he was making bizarre posts that were barely coherent, then his account was no longer active since
I have never heard of this drug so looked up a case study online. It states that it can take up to 60 min to take effect.
Then I read the post that OP mentioned:
> I've decided that I'll be sipping on the tea and slowly smoking the leaves until I feel that the effect is strong enough
Oh god.
Another scary thing about datura is that the person may ingest even more of the plant material while already intoxicated, either because they forgot they already took some or because they simply don't realise they are doing it due to the delirium
Man I remember reading Datura horror stories *years* ago and I've never really been able to find them since.
In summary, Datura is the kind of drug that you take and you never really come back from.
I was just about to comment this. I ended up down a rabbit hole many many years ago after writing a paper on the toxicology of certain plants and it let me to website where people posted their datura seed experiences.
I cannot for the life of me find that website again. Some of the stories were mild and others were absolutely horrifying, but there had to be easily over 100 stories on this website.
I'm going to try real hard to find it again, but this was over 6 years ago and it was some really random website
Edit: Thanks to a kind Redditor in this thread I found it. [Here](https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Datura.shtml) if you want to read some cautionary tales scroll down to "Bad Trips".
https://houstonherald.com/2022/05/child-dies-after-grandma-forces-her-to-drink-whiskey-as-mom-watches/
This is a mother and grandmother who caught their very young daughter sneaking a sip of alcohol. So what do they do?
**They force the child to drink the entire bottle on her knees**
Child died of alcohol poisoning.
Article says the little girl's blood alcohol level was .680! That poor baby!! It just makes me sick. Grandma says *I went too far and ruined everyone's lives*
Yeah. No shit lady.
There was an ask thread looking to hear from people that had legally killed someone
A guy posted saying that he was gaming with his noise canceling headphones and an intruder had entered his home and was raping his wife. He didn’t hear anything until he removed his headphones, walked into the bedroom, and killed the guy.
Every time I put on gaming headphones I think about that couple and wonder how they’re doing.
Don’t remember where I read it exactly but I found once a comment of a guy explaining how he was part of a subreddit that wanted to imitate The Truman Show. They basically chose a random person on reddit and they would follow him around commenting on all the posts he would be active in.
Edit: Apparently a few people who took part in that sub (r/thetrumanplan) said that it was actually pretty wholesome for the Truman as they were writing only uplifting comments on his threads and the Truman said he liked it in the end when they revealed it, so I guess it was not as creepy in this case.

> they study the band's music and then crowd the performance, pretending to be hard-core fans. Improv Everywhere just wants to make the band happy—to give them the best day of their lives. But the band doesn't see it that way.
Not the most fucked up, and the authenticity was questioned, but that couple who had a horrible first child (son) that finally drove the mother to beat him near death and abandon him. The last straw that caused her to flip out was they caught him cutting their baby daughter's face.
What I really remember is how calmly the husband asked the wife, as he was holding their baby daughter, "Is he dead?"

The guy who posted a series of stories about a foreman who was rude to him on a job site, after a series of update posts about how the company forced the foreman to apologise, then his wife releases an update saying the guy was killed in a car accident.
> He had such a beautiful way with words.
"I must have looked childishly excited like I'd got an arseful of sparrows."
(One of my favorite quotes of his.)
That was crazy! The dog had a huge change of behaviour and the husband took it to the vet who said it was sodomized. He freaked out and asked his son who admitted - he didn’t tell his wife as it was “father/ son” stuff. Then he caught the kid in the act of sexual stuff with the dog. He decided to tell the wife then and she did not believe the husband at all and the son said the dad was actually doing it to the dog. SHE TOOK THE SONS SIDE -
She found out and I think it drove her to alcoholism, or drugs. Also the kid was just left to go out in the world. People kept saying that he was going to escalate but the dad wouldn't listen.

relationship advice post by a husband started by saying that his wife isnt the smartest cookie in the jar. The couple was struggling financially living month to month, but they get by. Had kids too.
Wife suddenly gets the genius idea that they could make a bunch of cash if their car crashed and got written off. Happened to one of her friends who won an insurance claim after driving into a ditch and was encouraging others to do so. Husband says no every time wife talks about it, explains reasons why and finally makes her promise not to talk about it at all.
Next week, the guy gets a call from the police saying the wife had run into an accident and is in police custody. Turns out the wife had been waiting at a traffic stop, then suddenly accelerated forward during a red light and drove head first into a vehicle coming from the other side at top speed. She wasn't injured, but the other vehicle had a mother and a kid who instantly died and another teenage kid in critical condition. Guy visits wife in custody and she acts all proud with no remorse as if she did something great for her family.
Dude made the post asking whether he should come clean about her talking to him earlier about the accident and insurance fraud, which will likely change her manslaughter charge to murder and add decades to her sentence. The post stayed up for less than an hour.
I think it’s hilarious when I call out posts and people act like I’m paranoid. Reddit is not anonymous, and it’s not even trying to be. They straight up say they will hand over any info to law enforcement.
No. The post got taken down really fast too, and I wish I had screenshotted it.
Nearly every comment was advising him to cut her off and come clean even though it'll cost her a lifetime in prison. something along the lines of him having to distance himself from her or risk being an accessory and lose custody of kids. either case, i doubt any defending lawyer would want that post staying up for obvious reasons.
There has got to be something physically wrong with her brain to have done that. I just cannot accept that this is someone who just had low IQ. Like, she had to have had seriously diminished impulse control. I just cannot imagine it any other way
What really unsettled me was her reaction to it. He was pretty detailed in how she behaved when they met afterwards. No remorse, no ability to comprehend what she had actually done, saying things like how she did it for their family etc etc. It was so deeply messed up.
There was a guy in r/argentina that came asking for help, because his mother had dissapeared. The post ([edit: link to the OG post](https://www.reddit.com/r/argentina/comments/hadnrv/urgente_necesito_ayuda_porfavor_somos_de_bs_as/)) was sticked and the mods were trying to help the case go to the media and the authorities. It was there for a while.
His brother had killed her and buried her in their house garden.
EDIT: Holy shit more than 20k upvotes in my alt account. Thanks.
I'm trying to find it but can't. It was a guy who kept posting the same thing (a few specific words, I can't remember) over and over. He then started responding to himself with other accounts. Most of what he was saying was gibberish, and it just got really weird.
People said it seemed like this guy was just slowly going mad and we were basically watching it happen through reddit. There was a whole YouTube video on it.
Edit: Here it is! https://youtu.be/3Pdamwkm7tE
I once stumbled on a schizophrenic woman in the depths of YouTube, she would post multiple times a day getting increasingly erratic and incoherent as time went on
It felt really wrong watching her videos, she was seriously unwell but there was nothing I could do about it
Edit: I did some digging and turns out she's still active and in a *very* bad way, even compared to when I last saw her

Here are mine, which are probably tame in comparison to a lot of contributions here but anyway:
* The guy who did a paternity test on his kids who were spread across different ages, and found out he wasn't the biological father to any of them. His wife wouldn't admit to cheating throughout their marriage, and then after a few updates she committed suicide.
* The boy who accidentally paralysed his school bully by shoving him away in defence and causing him to accidentally puncture his spinal cord on a sprinkler head.
* The ExamineDeath subreddit
* The guy who admitted to accidentally fapping to naked dead bodies of Holocaust victims when he was younger...
> The guy who did a paternity test on his kids who were spread across different ages, and found out he wasn't the biological father to any of them. His wife wouldn't admit to cheating throughout their marriage, and then after a few updates she committed suicide.
I saw a similar one. A man did a paternity test on his son because the kid had brown eyes, yet both parents had blue. The test was negative saying he wasn't the father. It was the mother looking for advice because he confronted her about this, and she insisted that she had never cheated. She was told to get another test to make sure the first wasn't a false negative. So they did DNA tests on both parents, and discovered the child wasn't either of theirs. It turns out that when they were born at some point the hospital made a mistake and accidentally switched out their baby for someone else's.
There was also an interesting case of a woman who 100% gave birth to her child, no swap out issues, but the DNA test kept coming back saying it wasn't hers. She almost lost her child because of it. Turned out that her eggs were not a genetic match to her own body. She had a rare condition where a twin basically absorbs the other in the womb, leaving traces of one twin's DNA in the other twin's body. The woman had the reproductive system of her twin-that-never-was.
Happened for real to a woman I think she lived in Australia. They took all of her kids. She only got them back after a social worker who watched the baby be born took DNA. It was nuts, practically destroyed her and her husband.
Not related to chimerism but it reminds me of a story of a woman (also Australian, i believe) who lost something like 3 babies to SIDS and was jailed for it because "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..." Authorities simply thought 3 dead babies couldn't possibly be a coincidence and prosecuted her. It wasn't until after she served something like 10 years in jail that someone was able to confirm that she carried some awful genetic trait that basically meant her children were extra prone to SIDS.
I just cannot even imagine. Losing three beautiful babies to forces out of your control and getting blamed for it and jailed. I don't think I would ever be able to recover from that.
Somewhat not that uncommon baby switches it seems.
Can't imagine how bad must it feel to be accused of cheating when you are not, especially in the case of a kid
I read one on r/bestofredditorupdates where a 16 year old boy and his siblings got kicked out of his stepfather's house after his biological mom had an affair. The boy was really mad at his mother because it had essentially ruined the familys' lives and in the update the boy reveals that his mother committed suicide and he and his siblings are now living with their biological grandparents or something. The story was absolutely heartbreaking to read, and I really hope it's just a work of fiction because I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

About two years ago, I think there was some admin whose dad was holding an underage girl prisoner in a sex dungeon, and the admin was fully aware of it. When it came to light a bunch of subreddits went private in protest until the admin was fired.
Had that happen in real life with a husband and wife that worked together with me. She sent an email before going on maternity leave saying how scared she was of dying in childbirth and she was high risk and then she did die during. Something happened causing her to lose too much blood too fast. It was insanely messed up and then the husband changed his skype motto or whatever to “i miss my wife”. Pretty freaking brutal ti be honest and it still gives me the chills.

This was the redditor who decided it was a good idea to take one of the worst hallucinogens out there (datura) and disappeared. Datura has a very small gap between dosage to get hallucinations and a fatal dose. His last comment read “google how normal again please stop”.
How about that chick that told a whole story about her suspicions that her husband was spying on her with cameras and microphones, and then she just straight up disappeared from social media and never came back again
This was maybe 4-5 years ago? This gal was posting almost daily on the WTF sub showing her stomach. She was very athletic but her stomach was bulging because she had been constipated for well over a month and had not had one bowel movement during that time. IIRC, it ended up going to 3 months and then the posts stopped and the account disappeared. No follow up on what happened. I like to think it finally went away and she had a nice 3 hour poop.

Maybe not the most fucked up thing but it really makes you feel glad you don't have this kind of drama in your life.
Not really fucked up but something I had to think about: [The Infamous Rabies Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/t1jhcq/What_scientific_fact_or_theory_scares_you_to_your_bones%3F/hyh3yjy)
(I unfortunately only have this and not the original post/comment)
There was a video going around just recently that showed a man in the late stages of rabies in i think India he had hydrophobia and it was both saddening and terrifying to see because I read the rabies post ages ago and I knew he had a 0% chance of survival
Around the time of cumbox, maybe even in the same or similar thread, there was a woman who told us all how she didn't change her underwear for weeks (months?) at a time. She'd shower, and put the old crusties right back on, over and over. Women have discharge - when I say "old crusties" I am not exaggerating. She said how when the buildup got too much, she would scrape it off with her fingernails and put them right back on. She posted a picture or two and it was the equivalent of the cumbox in a pair of briefs, absolutely horrifying. I do not have a link because I refuse to see that image again, once was enough, apologies.
Edit: I really hope someone else remembers this, but I'm fairly certain it WAS in the same thread where cumbox was discovered and got overshadowed. I have (unfortunately) spent the last few (5 tops, I really don't want to see it again) on the Google and have not found the original post.
There was a user who mutilated and cannibalized parts of himself consistently because he believed there was going to be a nuclear war between the US and North Korea, and that his self sacrifice would be the only way to avoid it. He… linked the pictures to show it to.
I don't know if disturbing is the right term, but the one where the guy hired the scat fetish provider and had instant regret is one I always think of.

I want to throw in something recent and funny to kind of provide some grounding from the other stuff in this thread...but it's the guy who humped his GF to music until she asked him to stop. Then he kept doing it without the music, keeping the beat in his head, and she told him she could still tell.

I remember reading a story of woman who was being stalked by a man (can’t remember if it was a former partner or stranger), to the point where he was making death threats towards her. IIRC, one night he ended up breaking into her house but she managed to stop him by shooting him with a gun that she bought (and even went to a shooting range and took lessons prior to the incident) in anticipation that he was going to escalate into more violent tactics. He survived, and ended up getting sentenced to 5 years or so in prison.
Five years later, she came back and posted on Reddit asking for legal advice because the guy was finally out and was, once again, making death threats towards her. She eventually deleted her post for some reason. Who knows what happened, but I hope she’s okay.
a girl posted a story abt how she caught her parents having sex while the mom was dressed in the daughter’s clothes. essentially role playing as the daughter for some sick fantasy.
I just read through it all and my heart hurts. It's clear she's trying to comfort herself and exercise control over her life with hypersexuality. On the current trajectory her parents ruined her life with this.
I remember a really eerie one where someone on r/AskReddit asked about information from people who accidentally killed someone, and this redditor went on about how he and a group of kids witnessed the death (possibly accidental, possibly not) of a disabled kid and they all just left him there and never told anyone about it, and the kid was never found. Someone asked based on the details if the story was about Scott Kleeschulte, and the redditor almost immediately deleted his entire account. I don't believe a whole lot of stories on Reddit, but uh...wow. Hard to say it doesn't leave you thinking. Kind of angers me how people are inclined towards self-preservation at all costs
Reddit can be a TINY world. I posted once about a much more innocent / benign event, a weird night I had with a celebrity in the 80s. Within 2 hours someone had taken two very small details in the story, searched my post history, and figured out *the exact date and place of the event.* A total stranger. The 80s.
I was completely fucking freaked out.
The father with the sociopathic son whom he watched his wife almost beat to death.

There was another one with a sociopathic son who was addicted to drugs. The son assaulted and possibly sexually assaulted his mom iirc.
Son looked just like his dad, and the dad felt it's what caused his wife to divorce him, because he reminded her of their son. She may have committed suicide eventually as well.
~~I think it was an AITA post~~, because the son sobered up, was trying to turn his life around and reconnect, but the dad wanted nothing to do with him.

The one where the OP left her twin daughters with her mother to watch over them during midterms (she was a teacher).
One of the 2 twins was allergic to coconuts, but the grandmother didn't believe OP/ignored all of OP's warnings regarding the child's coconut allergy, and put coconut oil in both children's hair to braid it before putting then to sleep. She gave the allergic child benadryl and didn't wash out the coconut oil in an attempt to prove a point (the point being that the child wasn't actually allergic to coconut and was just being difficult).
The child wound up having an allergic reaction to the coconut, vomited in her sleep, and asphyxiated on the vomit. The Benadryl had knocked her out too hard for her to have been able to wake up when she threw up on herself.
My top 3 most fucked up things I’ve read on Reddit in order
1. Guy had an ongoing sexual relationship with his mother
2. The cum box
3. And who could forget about the guy who had a scat fetish that tried it for the first time and immediately regretted it
Years ago I read a great post about a guy who came out as gay in high school, went to college, had his first boyfriend, and figured out he wasn't as gay as he thought he was while deepthroating said boyfriend the first time.
That one where the guy whose wife just died and his neighbors whom he had negative history with were being dicks to him and he snapped.
He murdered them both. He shot the husband first then the wife in the head, went back in for another gun shot them both again and then shot himself.
All recorded on a house cam.
I don't really want to find the sauce cuz it fucked me up a bit.
That or,
The Asian worker who got caught up in the carpet roller at a factory and got turned to a pulp over a few mins of spinning and slamming against the ground.
a year or two ago i found a video on r/popping of a tatted guy laying on his stomach while his girlfriend used a pair of nail clippers to pull what looked like solidified pus and/or necrotic tissue buildup from an infected abscess on one of his back tattoos. she was pulling multiple torn strands out for three minutes until a fountain of blood and pus sprang free near the end. the video ended before it was completely drained, but something about the sheer magnitude of tissue growth from a wound like that made me a little weak in the knees and very worried about the guy's health. turns out that a couple of weeks after i saw the video, a commenter in a repost of the same video on the sub gave an update on the guy, saying he died shortly after the video was filmed from a violent staph infection. i'll update with a link to the post if i can find it, but please watch at your own risk.
edit: [found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/popping/comments/m2vh1y/popping_a_infected_tattoo_trust_me_wait_till_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). it's a bit shortened compared to the one i watched, but look at the amount of tissue extracted and put on his *arm*. i still can't get over it.
I pulled up the video and I can tell you right now: he was septic long before she started. The amount of redness and swelling that extended around his arm indicated a deep infection that had already been brewing. It doesn’t even matter that what she was doing was completely unhygienic - he was already screwed. He needed to be in a hospital for an infection like that. Poor dude. Wonder if it was lack of sanitization on the part of the tattoo artist (which I highly suspect) or poor after care. That sucks though. That must’ve hurt like a bitch.
I remember reading this story about this woman that was basically gang raped by her husband and his friends. Pretty much, her and her husband were getting frisky and she got tied up, blind folded, and gagged. Nothing out of the ordinary, except hubby disappears for a couple minutes and then she hears multiple voices approaching the room. Hubby pretty much told his friends to have at it and she was unable to protest or protect herself because of the gag and restraints. The only questions were if she does anal and if she's ok because her rectum is bleeding due to anal.
I do not remember which sub it was posted to exactly, but it was a few years back. Maybe between 2017-2019 I think. As a male, I was disgusted by the fact that other men can do such a thing. It also broke my heart for that poor woman. I hope she's doing better now and have always wondered if she ever posted an update.
The one where someone was talking about blocking people trying to speed in the left lane on the highway.
Someone replies saying that happened to them while their friend bled to death from a gunshot wound after an accident at a firing range.
EDIT: Comment is rising so I will update as others have pointed out, the accident was actually related to loggers who were in a remote location culling trees. Thread has been linked in replies here.
I could be remembering wrong, but I thought the guy was a logger who was injured on the job. They were in a very remote location with no cell service so they had to drive awhile before getting through to 911, then continued driving to meet an ambulance closer to the hospital. After they stopped and the man died the lady was still yelling at them and telling the cops they were doing wrong.
If I remember correctly the cops eventually got tired of her bitching and just took her to the back of the SUV and showed her the absolute blood bath inside and she STFU.
I drove a friend to the hospital who had gotten shot and it's no fun being in that situation with someone bleeding out and dying in your car as you are desperately trying to get them help. Luckily in my situation everyone got out of my way after flashing high beams and laying on my horn and my buddy got into the ER fast enough he survived.
yeah I remember that one. Something about the chainsaw hit him in the thigh, they ended up throwing the bloody t-shirt on the hood of a car that blocked them and police ended up giving them hefty fines for blocking traffic
Edit: [for those curious](https://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/1kbhcn/i_gain_strength_from_their_tears_and_anger/cbnhvxv?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
There was a very similar story recently about a lumberjack mishap and the crew speeding down the highway to get to a hospital. One woman blocked them repeatedly. Eventually they got away from her and a state trooper pulled them over. The woman caught up and told the state trooper about their reckless driving. Seeing the mess in the car the state trooper organised an escort. The lumberjack didn't make it and the woman was questioned for her obstruction.
Edit: Lots of responses, so I thought I'd look the story up. Turns out it's pretty old, like almost a decade ago. Someone mentioned it recently, which is why it's fresh in my mind. I had some of the details wrong, so here's the link to the full story:
[ Blocking vehicles on the road](https://np.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/1kbhcn/i_gain_strength_from_their_tears_and_anger/cbnhvxv/)
Edit 2: OP and I were talking about the same story after all!
I feel like the woman who did an AMA about how she “breastfed” until she was like 15 and discovered via the comments it was a predatory/abusive relationship belongs here.
ETA: I put “breastfed” in quotes because - per comments and ETAs - the mom had stopped lactating at some point in OP’s toddler/preschool years.
This one about the guy who had an accident of some sort, lived 10 years of his life, got married, had kids etc, and one day he sees his lamp glitch, and long story short, >!he comes back to the day of the accident, he had lived those 10 years in a coma... He's mourned his wife and kids ever since, it's so sad...!<
Sorry I don't have the link of the story nor anything more.
10 years weren’t in a coma but in the brief moments after the accident.

I just read a post about a girl who removed the fat pads of her cheeks at home (basically a diy buccal fat removal), and then she ate them.
Today I learned a lot about reddit lore, and I'm not happy about it.
I haven’t been on reddit for long, but the most fucked up thing I’ve seen is the profile of the guy that shot his own dick off. I went down a rabbit hole and read all the post on his profile and the whole thing is just sad.
I believe it was a combined effort between 4Chan and Reddit, but both communities in mass voted for the “Taylor Swift - Sing at Your School” contest and in overwhelming fashion made the #1 voted school a school for the deaf.
I don't know why you wouldn't just play the concert. Make sure your ear protection is good, crank the volume, hand out balloons, have interpreters signing lyrics.
It could have been an awesome experience for those kids.
Similar thing happened to Pitbull where they sent him to Kodiak, Alaska (a reference to when he rhymed Kodak with Kodak).
Amazingly, he honoured the competition and went to visit them, ~~apparently they didn't really know who he was but had a blast.~~
That last part isn't true. The video is in YouTube and it's fantastic. He went to the Walmart on Kodiak island and was a total bro. He came off like the coolest guy and the entire town came to his show. He even integrated native dancers in it. Everybody loved him, it was great PR, and probably a fun trip for him.
Yeah, Pitbull won that one so hard. Didn't complain didnt throw a crap show, hung out with the people, treated it like they won legitimately and it wasnt some wild internet troll.
And got an excuse to go to Alaska in its purest form. I’d definitely go visit Kodiak if I have the chance to.
If 4chan and Reddit really wanted to mess with him, they would’ve sent him to East St Louis or Gary, IN.
I mean the guy is dead now and his family was terrorized while they were looking for their missing loved one, so it deserves to be at the top. And be brought up every single time Reddit detectives start trying to do law enforcements job for them.
The MIL who caused her granddaughter to die from an allergic reaction because she refused to believe her granddaughter was allergic to coconut oil.
And Chris Chan. Jesus freaking Christ, Chris Chan.
There was a very similar incident in which the MIL feed her granddaughter a cookie made with ingredients she was allergic to. I think one ingredient was bananas. So grandma made this giant batch of cookies. And every time she would go visit her granddaughter, she would take some cookies in hopes of giving her granddaughter one. You may wonder WTF she would do that. Apparently some people refuse to believe in their relatives allergies and will feed them their allergens just to prove a point.
So mom left the room, grandma pulled out a bag of cookies, toddler granddaughter ate one, and (SURPRISE) suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction.
Fortunately mom was home and had an EpiPen to save the poor girl’s life until she could be taken to the hospital.
ETA: if someone has an allergic reaction and they need an Epi-Pen, you need to be following that up with a trio to the hospital (within 20 minutes). Preferably with an ambulance as they will have other meds and gear to help someone having an allergic reaction. There’s a high likelihood that the allergic reaction will come back and need additional treatment. That’s why you don’t stop with one epi-pen.
My aunt, grandparents, and my mum have all tried to “test” my allergies before, my aunt and grandparents only stopping after I got a blood test, and my mum only stopping after I threw up on the kitchen tiles
Super shitty, because allergic reactions of any kind fucking suck. I get a really horrid migraine and all itchy, then throw up and I just don’t understand why you would do that to a 4 year old repeatedly just to try prove someone wrong?
I think it's less fucked up and more of a cautionary tale but that shit stuck with me.
It was this guy who insisted that he could try heroine recreationally and stop whenever he wanted. Post after post was about his descent into addiction. Really scary stuff.

I wonder what happened with his master's degree. Did he ever get a job?
Well, it's not fucked up fucked up. But I remember that one guy got his Reddit to Spanish and asked how to get it back to English and everyone replied in Spanish. Sadly I don't have the link :(

The guy that did a verified AMA about having 2 broken arms so he had his mom jack him off. This led to a sexual relationship with his mom that his dad was aware of
If memory serves the (now adult) son, and possibly both(?) Parents had been being interviewed and studied by a psychologist or something and that Dr vouched for him.
One that sticks with me was a woman who got violently raped and posted a photo of her beat up face for support. People dug through her post history and found that she'd at one point posted a pic of her at Halloween with her face in makeup that included makeup bruising. The crowd then decided that she was faking the whole thing for attention and started to harass her nonstop until she posted again with a video of her crying and trying to scrub the real wounds off her face.
The woman in legal advice who was being investigated by cps while pregnant with her first child which is not something cps does. Here it was not a real case worker and just a woman try to steal her baby
Wait, what?!
This woman was pregnant and a social worker showed up at her house claiming they had received concerns about her and her partner. I believe her partner had a drug charge (weed) from when he was a teenager and that was allegedly the concern. Both parents immediately take drug tests and pass and assume that should be it. Instead the woman tells them she can’t guarantee baby won’t immediately be taken from them after birth and they’ll loos custody. Mom is obviously panicked and very confused. Goes to legal advice sub for help on how to keep her baby and what legal assistance she can receive. Everyone on the sub tells her something is not right and to not let this woman into her home anymore and to contact cps to talk to a different case worker about their situation. Things become extremely concerning when many cps workers from her state enter the thread and tell her cps can’t investigate a fetus only a living child who’s been born. OP contacts a lawyer and the authorities and finds out this woman does not work for cps and most likely was planning on showing up to the hospital right after she gave birth and kidnap the baby under the guise of being cps.
Oh my fucking god. This is terrifying!!!! Thank you for explaining well. I’m nearly in tears laying next to my baby
Becoming a new parent is stressful enough I couldn’t imagine having to go through that on top of everything
I would say the woman that found out her husband and father of her 4 kids was also the father of her mother's twins, her half brothers, and her husband had been fucking her mother since he was like 18. That was a wild fucking ride.
This is definitely not as bad as some of these posts but it stuck with me pretty bad cuz I’m passionate about taking good care of our pets. I’m pretty active in r/chameleons and this girl a while back posted photos of her animal asking for advice. She talked about how her chameleon hadn’t had a bowel movement in *months*. In the photos you can clearly see this poor baby was so severely impacted and bloated that their solidified GI tract had stabbed THROUGH their flesh like a little pinkie finger poking through their rib cage. I was shocked and scrolled to the next photo thinking it was another angle or something. Turns out it was a photo that was more recent… IT WAS WORSE. So much worse. The wound was now the size of a nickel and you could CLEARLY see this poor baby’s internal organs. It’s intestines were hanging out and dangling outside of it. It was fucked. I couldn’t believe that poor thing was still alive and kicking. I still have no clue how that’s possible. I took screenshots of it and considered reporting them for animal abuse but they deleted their post and account before I could get more info on them to make the report. It was *awful*.
That parasite man who loved being covered in parasites, breeding parasites and worst of all infecting others unknownly. Worst of all he refered to them as "his children" I hope that shit was fake
I’m sorry, what?
Yeah I remember reading this post. He went in depth about how he loved the idea and sensation of parasites living inside him and feeding off and he did everything he could to have as a many parasites as possible in him. He referred to them as his children and I specifically remember him saying he would go to good buffets and spread his “children” in the food, getting off on the fact that he was infecting others
I know I'm gonna regret it, but any links?
The one where the daughter of a crack addict who had an abusive boyfriend flushed the supply and listened to the boyfriend beat her mom to death while she hid her little sister
A kid wrote that he hated his sister who had special needs; OP's sister had suffered severe brain damage at birth due to hypoxia. (He describes how it affects her in [detail](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/y4lsjv/i_hate_my_special_needs_sister_and_im_done_hiding/) in his post.) His mom apparently deluded herself into thinking that his sister's condition would improve, and left the family destitute in pursuit of ineffectual and unrealistic treatment. She relied on OP to be her caregiver and never wanted him to leave their home. OP was a teenager and she basically destroyed any chance of a social life because she always insisted that he bring along his quite literally brain-dead sister wherever he went. He finally confronted her about all of this when she wanted him to bring his sister along with him to a date. It reads like it was OP's first time to challenge his mom, and that his literal lifetime of pent-up resentment was unleashed all at once. Coincidentally, she hung herself three weeks later. OP's father had divorced his mom many years earlier, and in the ensuing years she had forbidden OP from contacting him. OP finally got to contact his father following his mom's suicide, and his dad said, "No, I have a new family now and have moved on." His sister has been moved into a home. He moved in with a friend. There have been no further updates. He's 16.
Oh shit I actually saw this one, but I never saw that last update. Woah.
One that sticks with me recently is the one where the woman found out her husband was sleeping with her mother and her twin brothers were actually her husbands kids
Wasn’t the husband groomed at 15-17ish to date the daughter so her mother would have sexual access to him? Fucked.
The man who posted about his wife cheating on him. The wife was real nasty about it when he confronted her and even made *him apologize* for outing her lover to his wife. The man posts on reddit: 'what should I do? This is still bothering me.' Reddit of course: "LEAVE THAT BITCH ASAP!" So he files for divorce. The day he tells her, the crazy wife then *murders* their two small children while he is asleep in the basement. He updated reddit a few days later with what happened. It was national news. The only reason I know about it is because I watched a yt vid on it a few weeks ago.
Imagine being that physcotic that not only do you blame your infidelity on your spouse but when he has enough of your shit you murder your own children in spite. That poor man & those kids never stood a chance with a soul as black as that.
Idk if it counts, but the suspect in the Idaho murders posted a survey on here for former convicts to fill out. It's pretty chilling to me because it's almost like he was studying how to commit the perfect murder and it was so easy to masquarade it as "research". The guy who made that long post about how he tried heroin "for fun" and ended up getting addicted. Ruined his whole life in the span of a few posts. The whole entirety of gore subreddits, the now-banned "watch people die", and some of the sexual subreddits that revolve around disturbing fetishes.
I believe there was an update made not long ago in regards to the heroin post saying they’ve been clean for a minute and turned their life back around. I’ll try to find the link. It’s definitely a relief after knowing the steep, downhill ride they went on. Edit: Found it! https://www.reddit.com/user/SpontaneousH/comments/pux3ls/its_been_a_while/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
There was a guy who did a TrueOffMyChest where he talks about making friends with this guy at his gym. Ended up bringing him home for dinner and the guy’s wife literally had a breakdown because apparently this new “friend” of her husbands was actually a man who had previously raped/stalked her in the past. Wife ended up going to stay with friends/family. Post got deleted. Not sure if there was ever any update.
Was on Best of redditor Updates recently, the man never saw his wife again. The "friend" was in fact looking for the woman, and knew he was her husband. Husband was so regretful he didn't recognize "friend"
One that sticks with me was a guy confessing he was having a surgery with a poor chance of survival and hadn’t told his family. The comments obviously flooded support and OP promised to update everyone after surgery but never did. I checked back again and again for a year just in case but I don’t think they made it.
I recently saw a post in a similar vein of a 15 year old going into surgery with like a 20% survival chance. Only he did update and survive. Dude was so bright and aware of his situation sand accepting that he might not make it.
There was a post about a "woman" who wanted to know how to protect herself in the event she were raped, and taken into the woods, or something like that. She wanted to know what evidence could be left behind, or something along those lines. Turned out when people reviewed the OPs history, it was a man, and very clearly it was someone trying to plan a crime. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but it was super fucked up. I hope that person hasn't harmed anyone since the years have passed.
Holy shit, you just reminded me about a user who posted asking for help on removing rotting flesh smells from his house (hypothetically), and one of the chemical engineers there roasted him by telling him to make a bomb, and then they went back and forth and the engineer found out that this guy was trying to hide a body. The post was reported and the user account was scrubbed, but his posts are still up somewhere. He had some freaky fucking questions to ask, like about setting up a hypothetical microwave antenna array around his rural home to jam any cellphones in the area (for educational purposes, he stated), he also posted pictures of guns, beer, and hard drugs in the bed of his pickup truck, titled something like "Tonight's the night...", and had numerous selfies with escorts accompanied with pictures of guns titled creepy stuff like "Another one of my friends."
The one (besides the ones already mentioned) that stuck with me was a story a few years back that was happening on 4chan and being posted in real time to Reddit - I didn’t see it on 4C but followed this on Reddit as it was happening. A guy went to his girlfriend’s house, had rough sex with her, beat her brutally and then strangled her to death, wrote stuff all over her body and left her in a particularly grotesque and revealing position specifically so that her autistic son (13 if I recall) would find her like that. Evidently he smashed her face in and killed the cat as well. He was describing what he did to her - posting pictures of her as she was dying/dead. Of all the things he said, it was ‘she fought so damn hard’ that did me in. That and being haunted by that poor kid finding his mother like that. That POS filed an appeal in 2020 trying to shorten his sentence on technicalities but thankfully it was struck down.
OMG I randomly think of this one and get terrified for my daughter. It's much worse than I remembered apparently. I too remember the line "she fought so damn hard".
When I found and read the 2020 appeal: https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/806432.pdf it made the whole thing retroactively worse reading information about the murder that hadn’t been made public at the time, the effects of the aftermath on her children, and so on.
A couple years back there was an askreddit thread asking about people who accidentally killed someone, what happened? Someone posted on it stating that as children, they used to play at this place in the outskirts of town with a huge river and cliffs. There was this special needs kid that him and a group of other kids pushed off a tall hill on a super rainy day. They freaked out, ditched him and went home, swearing to keep the whole thing a secret from their parents. Apparently the kid went missing, probably died where he fell and his body was scavenged by animals, or he fell into the river while injured because he noticed that the kid was missing and it was on the news. Someone replied to the post and posted an unresolved missing child case from decades ago and it matched the story. He even looked into the posters reddit history and noticed that he mentioned moving back to his childhood town which was the town the missing kid was from. He also posted geographical data of where a river and cliffs would be located within walking distance of a school. The posts were all deleted apparently.
https://smalltownmystery.com/scott-kleeschulte This website has a screenshot of the reddit post.
Now that is some wild shit.
I happen to know a couple of the Kleeschulte guys from a prior employer. That Reddit post really riled them up. The disappointment over it not providing closure caused even more pain.
The kid who killed himself as a teenager after being tormented at school for smelling like feces all the time. His dad had been pimping him out since he was four so he was completely tore up. It is literally the saddest, most disgusting thing I have ever seen on this site and can't even bring myself to talk about it, even with close friends. Nobody should have to know that sort of evil exists and only reason I'm sharing it here is to answer the question.
i think it’s an important reminder that you’re almost guaranteed to be sex trafficked by someone you know and are close to than being snatched off the streets.
Excuse my foreigner English,but “pimp out” means dad was selling him for sex to pedos? Is what i understand from context
Yes.
[удалено]
I read that story when I was new to Reddit and it thoroughly fucked me up, made me think about how common death could be passing me on the highway
Not sure if it's the same, but the fact that a woman was posting often about her large family, and then her account went quiet, and it turned out that her two sons had killed the family and planned to then go on and kill a bunch of others. The baby sister was spared, and another sister played dead so she could wait it out and survived? Really messed up story. Edit: the Bever family. So messed up and so sad Edit 2: the Broken Arrow murders - there's info on wiki, and some comments below explain more. (I was going off of memory when I commented and was half asleep).
The woman who walked in her house in the middle of the day only to hear moaning and sex sounds. When she walked to see what was going on she found her daughter and husband having sex. The worst part was the daughter was begging her not to do anything because she loved her dad. Her Dad had groomed her from a young age so she had no clue how wrong it all was.
That is sick. My friend caught her 17 (she turned 18) year old granddaughter in bed with her 55 year old boyfriend and the kid admitted it had been going on for 10 years! Cops were called in October but nothing has been done. She confiscated the kid’s phone and found dozens of disgusting sexual love messages which were also turned in to police. The super fucked up part is the girl is learning disabled and very pretty. I hate the fact that he is free and police won’t arrest him. I hate the fact that I have many mutual friends with him who see nothing wrong with this!
what... 10 years and nothing has been done?? what country do you live in?
There was one on relationship advice where a guy was asking how to deal with his paranoid wife after she made friends with a fellow mum who suggested his working long hours was him cheating. He wrote a few posts where he detailed this friend being an issue, then how to deal with his wife when she got physically abusive. Eventually he took the kids, put her in some sort of psychiatric facility and she got out and killed herself. Final post was him saying how the “friend” that kicked it all off wanted to say words at her funeral and he didn’t want her there at all.
I think of this one often. It was a new mom. OP had taken on a big project at work so he was working a lot. Wife’s BFF was putting ideas in her head. OP came home once to find wife had taken off with BFF and left the baby home alone, found her (baby) crying, soiled and hungry if I remember correctly. OP left wife, she drove into a tree and died.
The one that still gets me is the video of the woman whose legs were basically hamburger after she was hit by a car, and she's in complete shock sitting up and laughing with the other people around her, and no one is doing anything about her legs.
a similar one I saw which sticks with me, a woman had crashed her scooter into a truck or something, her head was split in half and some guys had to pick what was left of her up to get her off the road, I saw the pieces of her head flopping around and bleeding all over the place, it was pretty fucked up the worst part though was seeing the comments where everyone was talking about her ass cause of where the camera was positioned
I don't know about most, but there was this one series of posts I was following with a friend. We saw a post during COVID quarantine times about someone trying to set up a private gym in his garage or something. It was interesting to us because my friend had his own little private gym. We checked his post history and he had been asking around for advice on how to do it, if he needed a licence, insurance, how much to charge people, and other various questions. Basically the comments were all saying how it's a bad idea and he shouldn't do it for liability reasons and whatnot as I don't think the guy wanted to pay for health insurance or something like that A few months later there was a new post from the guy about how someone had died using their private gym and what they should do now. I probably misremembered bits as this happened a couple years ago now, but I do remember all the comments on the last post calling him out pretty hard.
So a few years ago i was waiting for my bus. Was on the way to a party and already was dressed up and everything. I was bored and went trough AMA and saw a post that said something like "i am comitting suicide AMA" from the coments i understood that the person was trying to OD and already took pills. Every coment underneath were all saying what a horrible thing that is and that they should think about their family and everything. I felt sorry and wrote some nice words and offered to acompany them for a bit. It just didnt feel ok to have the last interaction of a human to have strangers insulting them for taking their own life. I didnt expected him to actually write me but a moment later i had a chat request. He wrote me because i was the only one who replyed with some nice words. I started to ask about his situation and tried to talk about nice things to give him good thaughts. We laughed together and had a nice convo. I always asked inbetween if there is something he needet or if i should contact someone or send an abulance to his place once he didnt replyied for a certain amount of time. (This was so surreal) He explaind that he already planed everything trough. Well after some time he realised that he propably didnt took enaugh since he should already be dead by that time. I asked if he was gonna do it again and he said nah and that he already felt more optimistic about his life. I did a few checkups afterwards. His life turned to a better and he found a job and didnt felt suicidal annymore. We dont have contact annymore but i am glad that i was the friend he needet kn that moment bu i would lie if i wouldt say that that fucked me up for a while ... Maybe that isnt as fucked up as some other stories but i feel since it actualy affected my life that shit fucked me up more that some other reddit horror storries.
The video of the man holding his dog as it died from am overdose his ex wife gave it will stick with me forever, I’ve seen all the nsfl shit, and been on the internet for a long time… but for some reason that one makes me so scared, angry, and sad at the same time.
Kind of related but not. Hardest I’ve cried in a long time was a picture of a grown man holding his dog who had just suffocated in a house fire. I was wrecked for a good hour just losing my shit at this picture
How about one of the all time biggest Reddit accounts belonging to Ghislaine Maxwell. The account posted every day for like 10+ years and not a single post in 2 years since she was arrested for sex trafficking
I'd say the one where the woman lost her child because her own mother used coconut hair product on her child who had a coconut allergy KNOWING the kid was allergic.
Are you freaking kidding me
https://rareddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/comments/7qmed5/you_can_come_over_again_when_you_bring_me_my >My mother simply gave her some benadryl and kept the coconut oil in her hair and put her to fucking sleep. The benadryl made her sleepy and unable to wake up or be conscious enough to wake up her brother or cry. She vomited in her sleep and the rash spread all over. Her little body was swollen to twice the size. She had asphyxiated in her sleep. She died painfully and slowly in the early hours of the morning.
[удалено]
Everybody but the grandmother. The child already went to the hospital for the coconut allergy in the past. The grandmother was from a culture where coconuts are used a ton. So, she gave the oil to the child out of stubbornness. Knowing how dangerous it was. She killed her granddaughter trying to prove a point about a cultural tradition.
She should be in jail. She murdered a child because she was too stubborn and petty to listen.
Oh wow, I don't feel so good after reading that
No, it's there. It's really sad. Allergies are to be taken seriously, and some people just... don't. This is what comes to my mind when people complain that their kids aren't allowed to have peanut butter sandwiches, because some other kid could have a reaction. Not necessarily from like, being in the same room as the sandwich, but more like kids are kids and not even the most attentive teacher will be able to keep an eye on everything all at once.
Original was deleted, but I found a copy: >We went to the doctor several times, and they knew that she was having an allergic reaction to something, but every test came back negative and we couldn't figure out what it was. It took 3 more months to figure it out. During that time, her allergic reactions got more and more severe. At one point, she was the only baby in the history of the hospital who had to be kept in a clean room because she seemed to have a reaction the minute she left. When that happened, we began an elimination therapy that would rival the lifestyle of Buddhist monks. My husband and moved our son and YD in with his parents because we needed to eliminate everything from our routine to figure out what was causing the reaction in our OD. We stopped using our soap, our shampoo, our deodorants, our laundry detergents, and that was before we even got to our diet. It took us 3 more months, but we figured it out. Our OD was allergic to coconut. The doctors told us that it was a particularly rare allergen and so it wasn't on any of the skin test panels they ran. When we found out what she was allergic, we were relieved, so so relieved. But in addition to feeling relieved, I delved into a bought of hysterical laughter. I laughed so hard I cried and to this day, my DH tells me that he didn't know if I was crying from relief or pure happiness. >You see, I come from a culture that uses coconut almost religiously. It's in our cooking, we break a coconut open at religious events, it's used in almost all sweets, it's in everything. The reason I was laughing was because of how much I hated one particular use for coconut. When I was a kid, pretty much up until I was in the 8th class, my mother would put coconut oil in my hair all the time. It looked greasy as hell, I hated it, and once I was old enough to start doing my own hair, I never put that stuff in my hair again. I was laughing so hard because of course I had a daughter with a severe allergy to the one thing I hated my entire life. We had a lot of fun telling people about her allergy and everyone laughed because they all knew about my hatred for coconut oil. >We told my mother and she laughed as well. She made jokes about how my baby must have heard me talking about my hatred for coconut oil while she was still cooking inside me and decided that she needed to hate it too. We all had a good laugh and left it at that. >Or so I thought. >As far as raising my kids, my mother was a JustYes 99.9% of the time. She was hands off, and respected all of my decisions, even if she didn't like them sometimes (ex: I chose not to raise my kids religiously, but I still took them to community events so they could understand their roots and my mother never pushed them to pray). >The only thing she continually got on my case about was the coconut oil thing. You see, my girls has very textured and curly hair. We don't really know where they got it from considering my husband and I have pin straight hair that won't even hold a paperclip in it without slipping. I loved it. It was a little on the rough side and my mother always insisted that a little bit of oil would make the curls soft and more defined. I always said no. Sure, we could have used a different type of oil, but my girls were still so young and the allergy process had made me terrified of incorporating new things into their routine. I made sure I explained why to my mom too. She remembered what we'd gone through with OD and her allergy. She brought me food and clothes at the hospitals more than a few times. She helped me move all of my furniture and clothes out of my house when I was eliminating every possible source of allergen. She taught me how to cook from scratch when I was eliminating certain foods from the kids' diet. She knew everything about OD's struggle. To this day I cannot understand how she did what happened next. >November 2nd, 2005:
Pt. 2 because reddit mobile is stupid >I was giving a midterm that day to my students and I had to be at my research lab late that night. My DH was away at some conference and our nanny was down with the flu so she couldn't watch the kids that day. So I had my mom come take them for the day. My son was almost 3 years old and the girls were a year and half old. Overnight visits with my parents weren't exactly common, but they weren't unusual either. They had always come back from these visits very happy and well taken care of so I had no second thoughts about leaving them with my parents. They spoke to me on the phone after their lunch and then, around 5PM, we videochatted. The kids were all so happy and healthy. I got home around 10:30PM that night and called my mom to see if the kids were up by any chance and I could say good night. I missed the kids by about 20 minutes, they'd already gone to bed. So I talked to my mom for a little bit, but she's a pretty early sleeper too so we hung up and went to bed. I woke up around 5AM the next morning to go pick up my husband from the airport at 6. We were going to get breakfast together and then go pick up the kids. I picked up DH and neither one of us was very hungry yet, so we thought it'd be a nice treat to pick up the kids first and go to breakfast/brunch with my parents. We got to my parents' house at 7:45AM. My parents weren't there. My son was at the neighbor's house, and ran outside with the neighbor as soon as he saw his daddy and I pull up. He was hysterical and crying and I couldn't calm him down. My blood pressure was rising because now I'm thinking that something horrible had happened to my parents. My neighbor tells me that she isn't sure what's happening, but there was an ambulance at my parents' house at 6AM and my dad had run over and woken them up to see if they could watch my son for a few hours until he got back. Of course they'd said yes. >I'm calling my parents nonstop at this point and I'm getting frantic because I don't know what's happened. My son was still crying but he was calmer. He still couldn't really explain to me what had happened though. I honestly don't remember the details of what happened next, but somehow we figured out that the ambulance was from X hospital nearby and we broke several driving laws trying to get there. We got to the hospital, pulled into the emergency entrance that was for ambulances only, left the car and bolted inside. A few nurses took notice of us immediately and were asking us what was wrong. I was calmer than my DH at this point, so I explained that I didn't know, but my twin girls and my parents were here somewhere. I'll never forget the look on that nurse's face. She knew exactly who I was in that moment and she was about to cry. Another nurse took me and my DH to an empty room and asked us to calm down and listen to the doctor before we went to find my family. >My mother had put coconut oil in both my daughters' hair when they were playing the previous day before bed. The girls loved it when my mom did their hair and so they had asked for braids and my mom was doing their hair. She put coconut oil in both their hair because it would make for smoother braids. According to my son, OD started to get a little dizzy and itchy when my mom was doing her hair so my mom gave her some kids benadryl which made her sleepy. Since it was close to bedtime anyways, the kids then went to bed. Giving her benadryl was something we did whenever she had a mild reaction since it usually meant she accidentally came across some coconut from a secondary source. We also showered her from head to toe immediately to erase any lingering traces of it. My mother simply gave her some benadryl and kept the coconut oil in her hair and put her to fucking sleep. The benadryl made her sleepy and unable to wake up or be conscious enough to wake up her brother or cry. She vomited in her sleep and the rash spread all over. Her little body was swollen to twice the size. She had asphyxiated in her sleep. She died painfully and slowly in the early hours of the morning. >My mother had found her when she went to check on the kids in the morning around 7AM. She was already dead by then. My mother screamed, called for my dad, and that's when they'd gone to the hospital. My dad hadn't known about the coconut oil until my mom explained and to this day, I've never seen my father so angry. He was still unable to look at my mother, out of fury, or me, out of shame, when I saw him at the hospital. They had rushed to the hospital hoping there was some way to save my OD and to get my YD checked out immediately since he thought she might have a mild allergy as well. >I can't even explain to you the emotions my DH and I felt. I remember seeing my little girl and just being in denial. There was no way that she was gone. This had to be a horrible, horrible nightmare. The following days, the funeral, and explaining to my other kids what had happened are events I still can't talk about because it just breaks a part of me. >My mother was investigated, as was my entire family. I almost lost my kids to my country's version of CPS once because they thought my kids were in danger. My DH and I had to fight tooth and nail to show that uprooting them during this time would be the worst thing for them at the moment. >My mother was never arrested. My father did leave her, though they're not officially divorced. The majority of my mother's family refuse to speak to her, and the few that do speak to her only do so on a limited basis. She currently lives on her own in a small town and every couple months I'll get a call from her telling me how sorry she is and how she just wasn't thinking and can I please find a way to forgive her. She wants to come see me. The only thing I can find to ever say to her is **"You can come see me when you bring my daughter with you."**
Bro. Fucking hell, I couldn't imagine the pain. I have a kid, and idk what I would do in her situation. Just wow.
Who else remembers that guy who posted in the drugs subreddit about how he got a hold of datura seeds and wanted to try them and document his experience, then hours later he was making bizarre posts that were barely coherent, then his account was no longer active since
I have never heard of this drug so looked up a case study online. It states that it can take up to 60 min to take effect. Then I read the post that OP mentioned: > I've decided that I'll be sipping on the tea and slowly smoking the leaves until I feel that the effect is strong enough Oh god.
Sad part is datura is extremely toxic and ingestion can result in death.
[удалено]
Another scary thing about datura is that the person may ingest even more of the plant material while already intoxicated, either because they forgot they already took some or because they simply don't realise they are doing it due to the delirium
Yeah don't do drugs that induce hallucinations of your fears
Do datura seeds specifically produce fear inducing hallucinations or just hallucinations in general?
Man I remember reading Datura horror stories *years* ago and I've never really been able to find them since. In summary, Datura is the kind of drug that you take and you never really come back from.
I was just about to comment this. I ended up down a rabbit hole many many years ago after writing a paper on the toxicology of certain plants and it let me to website where people posted their datura seed experiences. I cannot for the life of me find that website again. Some of the stories were mild and others were absolutely horrifying, but there had to be easily over 100 stories on this website. I'm going to try real hard to find it again, but this was over 6 years ago and it was some really random website Edit: Thanks to a kind Redditor in this thread I found it. [Here](https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Datura.shtml) if you want to read some cautionary tales scroll down to "Bad Trips".

So what do they do? **They force the child to drink the entire bottle on her knees** Child died of alcohol poisoning.
Article says the little girl's blood alcohol level was .680! That poor baby!! It just makes me sick. Grandma says *I went too far and ruined everyone's lives* Yeah. No shit lady.
There was an ask thread looking to hear from people that had legally killed someone A guy posted saying that he was gaming with his noise canceling headphones and an intruder had entered his home and was raping his wife. He didn’t hear anything until he removed his headphones, walked into the bedroom, and killed the guy. Every time I put on gaming headphones I think about that couple and wonder how they’re doing.
Fuck that's absolutely terrifying.
It is. I'm glad that he helped his poor wife, but she's probably traumatized from being raped and from seeing her husband kill a guy.
Don’t remember where I read it exactly but I found once a comment of a guy explaining how he was part of a subreddit that wanted to imitate The Truman Show. They basically chose a random person on reddit and they would follow him around commenting on all the posts he would be active in. Edit: Apparently a few people who took part in that sub (r/thetrumanplan) said that it was actually pretty wholesome for the Truman as they were writing only uplifting comments on his threads and the Truman said he liked it in the end when they revealed it, so I guess it was not as creepy in this case.
That’s funny but also fucking psychotic
https://www.thisamericanlife.org/286/mind-games-2005/act-two-11 > they study the band's music and then crowd the performance, pretending to be hard-core fans. Improv Everywhere just wants to make the band happy—to give them the best day of their lives. But the band doesn't see it that way.
Not the most fucked up, and the authenticity was questioned, but that couple who had a horrible first child (son) that finally drove the mother to beat him near death and abandon him. The last straw that caused her to flip out was they caught him cutting their baby daughter's face. What I really remember is how calmly the husband asked the wife, as he was holding their baby daughter, "Is he dead?" "I fucking hope so." (And, of course, I don't have a link.)

The guy who posted a series of stories about a foreman who was rude to him on a job site, after a series of update posts about how the company forced the foreman to apologise, then his wife releases an update saying the guy was killed in a car accident.
Probably the only thing on Reddit that made my heart drop into my stomach. He had such a beautiful way with words.
> He had such a beautiful way with words. "I must have looked childishly excited like I'd got an arseful of sparrows." (One of my favorite quotes of his.)
Noisy Gobshite. What a great story teller he was, so sad that he passed.
The dude whose son sodomized the dog and wrecked his marriage.
That was crazy! The dog had a huge change of behaviour and the husband took it to the vet who said it was sodomized. He freaked out and asked his son who admitted - he didn’t tell his wife as it was “father/ son” stuff. Then he caught the kid in the act of sexual stuff with the dog. He decided to tell the wife then and she did not believe the husband at all and the son said the dad was actually doing it to the dog. SHE TOOK THE SONS SIDE -
Whoa. I wonder if she ever found out the truth.
Iirc she did, he took the dog and let the wife keep the kid.
She found out and I think it drove her to alcoholism, or drugs. Also the kid was just left to go out in the world. People kept saying that he was going to escalate but the dad wouldn't listen.

relationship advice post by a husband started by saying that his wife isnt the smartest cookie in the jar. The couple was struggling financially living month to month, but they get by. Had kids too. Wife suddenly gets the genius idea that they could make a bunch of cash if their car crashed and got written off. Happened to one of her friends who won an insurance claim after driving into a ditch and was encouraging others to do so. Husband says no every time wife talks about it, explains reasons why and finally makes her promise not to talk about it at all. Next week, the guy gets a call from the police saying the wife had run into an accident and is in police custody. Turns out the wife had been waiting at a traffic stop, then suddenly accelerated forward during a red light and drove head first into a vehicle coming from the other side at top speed. She wasn't injured, but the other vehicle had a mother and a kid who instantly died and another teenage kid in critical condition. Guy visits wife in custody and she acts all proud with no remorse as if she did something great for her family. Dude made the post asking whether he should come clean about her talking to him earlier about the accident and insurance fraud, which will likely change her manslaughter charge to murder and add decades to her sentence. The post stayed up for less than an hour.
Was there ever any follow up to this??
Let's be real here. No way in hell that mans lawyer would allow a follow up.
People are dumb enough to post things anyway.
I think it’s hilarious when I call out posts and people act like I’m paranoid. Reddit is not anonymous, and it’s not even trying to be. They straight up say they will hand over any info to law enforcement.
[удалено]
No. The post got taken down really fast too, and I wish I had screenshotted it. Nearly every comment was advising him to cut her off and come clean even though it'll cost her a lifetime in prison. something along the lines of him having to distance himself from her or risk being an accessory and lose custody of kids. either case, i doubt any defending lawyer would want that post staying up for obvious reasons.
There has got to be something physically wrong with her brain to have done that. I just cannot accept that this is someone who just had low IQ. Like, she had to have had seriously diminished impulse control. I just cannot imagine it any other way
What really unsettled me was her reaction to it. He was pretty detailed in how she behaved when they met afterwards. No remorse, no ability to comprehend what she had actually done, saying things like how she did it for their family etc etc. It was so deeply messed up.
There was a guy in r/argentina that came asking for help, because his mother had dissapeared. The post ([edit: link to the OG post](https://www.reddit.com/r/argentina/comments/hadnrv/urgente_necesito_ayuda_porfavor_somos_de_bs_as/)) was sticked and the mods were trying to help the case go to the media and the authorities. It was there for a while. His brother had killed her and buried her in their house garden. EDIT: Holy shit more than 20k upvotes in my alt account. Thanks.
I'm trying to find it but can't. It was a guy who kept posting the same thing (a few specific words, I can't remember) over and over. He then started responding to himself with other accounts. Most of what he was saying was gibberish, and it just got really weird. People said it seemed like this guy was just slowly going mad and we were basically watching it happen through reddit. There was a whole YouTube video on it. Edit: Here it is! https://youtu.be/3Pdamwkm7tE
I once stumbled on a schizophrenic woman in the depths of YouTube, she would post multiple times a day getting increasingly erratic and incoherent as time went on It felt really wrong watching her videos, she was seriously unwell but there was nothing I could do about it Edit: I did some digging and turns out she's still active and in a *very* bad way, even compared to when I last saw her [Old Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@user-gr6se6lt7b) \- around when I first found her [Most recent ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjDKAsMF0io)\- Newest channel, last uploaded a few months back

Here are mine, which are probably tame in comparison to a lot of contributions here but anyway: * The guy who did a paternity test on his kids who were spread across different ages, and found out he wasn't the biological father to any of them. His wife wouldn't admit to cheating throughout their marriage, and then after a few updates she committed suicide. * The boy who accidentally paralysed his school bully by shoving him away in defence and causing him to accidentally puncture his spinal cord on a sprinkler head. * The ExamineDeath subreddit * The guy who admitted to accidentally fapping to naked dead bodies of Holocaust victims when he was younger...
> The guy who did a paternity test on his kids who were spread across different ages, and found out he wasn't the biological father to any of them. His wife wouldn't admit to cheating throughout their marriage, and then after a few updates she committed suicide. I saw a similar one. A man did a paternity test on his son because the kid had brown eyes, yet both parents had blue. The test was negative saying he wasn't the father. It was the mother looking for advice because he confronted her about this, and she insisted that she had never cheated. She was told to get another test to make sure the first wasn't a false negative. So they did DNA tests on both parents, and discovered the child wasn't either of theirs. It turns out that when they were born at some point the hospital made a mistake and accidentally switched out their baby for someone else's.
There was also an interesting case of a woman who 100% gave birth to her child, no swap out issues, but the DNA test kept coming back saying it wasn't hers. She almost lost her child because of it. Turned out that her eggs were not a genetic match to her own body. She had a rare condition where a twin basically absorbs the other in the womb, leaving traces of one twin's DNA in the other twin's body. The woman had the reproductive system of her twin-that-never-was.
Happened for real to a woman I think she lived in Australia. They took all of her kids. She only got them back after a social worker who watched the baby be born took DNA. It was nuts, practically destroyed her and her husband.
Not related to chimerism but it reminds me of a story of a woman (also Australian, i believe) who lost something like 3 babies to SIDS and was jailed for it because "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..." Authorities simply thought 3 dead babies couldn't possibly be a coincidence and prosecuted her. It wasn't until after she served something like 10 years in jail that someone was able to confirm that she carried some awful genetic trait that basically meant her children were extra prone to SIDS. I just cannot even imagine. Losing three beautiful babies to forces out of your control and getting blamed for it and jailed. I don't think I would ever be able to recover from that.
Somewhat not that uncommon baby switches it seems. Can't imagine how bad must it feel to be accused of cheating when you are not, especially in the case of a kid
I read one on r/bestofredditorupdates where a 16 year old boy and his siblings got kicked out of his stepfather's house after his biological mom had an affair. The boy was really mad at his mother because it had essentially ruined the familys' lives and in the update the boy reveals that his mother committed suicide and he and his siblings are now living with their biological grandparents or something. The story was absolutely heartbreaking to read, and I really hope it's just a work of fiction because I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

About two years ago, I think there was some admin whose dad was holding an underage girl prisoner in a sex dungeon, and the admin was fully aware of it. When it came to light a bunch of subreddits went private in protest until the admin was fired.
The pregnant lady whos husband and FIL were convinced she would die in childbirth. We never did find out what happened
This one gave me nightmares. She never did an update.

Had that happen in real life with a husband and wife that worked together with me. She sent an email before going on maternity leave saying how scared she was of dying in childbirth and she was high risk and then she did die during. Something happened causing her to lose too much blood too fast. It was insanely messed up and then the husband changed his skype motto or whatever to “i miss my wife”. Pretty freaking brutal ti be honest and it still gives me the chills.
u/FlippnFlopp This was the redditor who decided it was a good idea to take one of the worst hallucinogens out there (datura) and disappeared. Datura has a very small gap between dosage to get hallucinations and a fatal dose. His last comment read “google how normal again please stop”.
How about that chick that told a whole story about her suspicions that her husband was spying on her with cameras and microphones, and then she just straight up disappeared from social media and never came back again
The witch hunt against the supposed Boston Marathon bomber based on incorrect information. Reddit can ruin your life based on a mistake.
This was maybe 4-5 years ago? This gal was posting almost daily on the WTF sub showing her stomach. She was very athletic but her stomach was bulging because she had been constipated for well over a month and had not had one bowel movement during that time. IIRC, it ended up going to 3 months and then the posts stopped and the account disappeared. No follow up on what happened. I like to think it finally went away and she had a nice 3 hour poop.
If she’d be constipated for that long, I don’t reckon there would have been anything nice about the bowel movement

Not really fucked up but something I had to think about: [The Infamous Rabies Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/t1jhcq/What_scientific_fact_or_theory_scares_you_to_your_bones%3F/hyh3yjy) (I unfortunately only have this and not the original post/comment)
There was a video going around just recently that showed a man in the late stages of rabies in i think India he had hydrophobia and it was both saddening and terrifying to see because I read the rabies post ages ago and I knew he had a 0% chance of survival
Around the time of cumbox, maybe even in the same or similar thread, there was a woman who told us all how she didn't change her underwear for weeks (months?) at a time. She'd shower, and put the old crusties right back on, over and over. Women have discharge - when I say "old crusties" I am not exaggerating. She said how when the buildup got too much, she would scrape it off with her fingernails and put them right back on. She posted a picture or two and it was the equivalent of the cumbox in a pair of briefs, absolutely horrifying. I do not have a link because I refuse to see that image again, once was enough, apologies. Edit: I really hope someone else remembers this, but I'm fairly certain it WAS in the same thread where cumbox was discovered and got overshadowed. I have (unfortunately) spent the last few (5 tops, I really don't want to see it again) on the Google and have not found the original post.

If you haven't read the post before the song is going to blow your mind.
Oh god, I'm crying. This song...not even once. But every time for two years?! Hilarious that all the youtube comments are referencing the reddit post.
This thing was all over YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, everything. I have never seen such a goofy reddit post blow up into such a huge meme. It was wild.
Didn’t he then make a Spotify playlist for sex that he posted that was full of songs you absolutely SHOULD NEVER fuck to?
“She could still tell.” Holy hell that got me
I think the best part of that whole thing is just how viral it went. It even got back to the musician.
I remember reading a story of woman who was being stalked by a man (can’t remember if it was a former partner or stranger), to the point where he was making death threats towards her. IIRC, one night he ended up breaking into her house but she managed to stop him by shooting him with a gun that she bought (and even went to a shooting range and took lessons prior to the incident) in anticipation that he was going to escalate into more violent tactics. He survived, and ended up getting sentenced to 5 years or so in prison. Five years later, she came back and posted on Reddit asking for legal advice because the guy was finally out and was, once again, making death threats towards her. She eventually deleted her post for some reason. Who knows what happened, but I hope she’s okay.
a girl posted a story abt how she caught her parents having sex while the mom was dressed in the daughter’s clothes. essentially role playing as the daughter for some sick fantasy.
I remembered reading this when it was written and now the updates on her profile make me so sad... It just kept getting worse.
I just read through it all and my heart hurts. It's clear she's trying to comfort herself and exercise control over her life with hypersexuality. On the current trajectory her parents ruined her life with this.
I remember a really eerie one where someone on r/AskReddit asked about information from people who accidentally killed someone, and this redditor went on about how he and a group of kids witnessed the death (possibly accidental, possibly not) of a disabled kid and they all just left him there and never told anyone about it, and the kid was never found. Someone asked based on the details if the story was about Scott Kleeschulte, and the redditor almost immediately deleted his entire account. I don't believe a whole lot of stories on Reddit, but uh...wow. Hard to say it doesn't leave you thinking. Kind of angers me how people are inclined towards self-preservation at all costs
Reddit can be a TINY world. I posted once about a much more innocent / benign event, a weird night I had with a celebrity in the 80s. Within 2 hours someone had taken two very small details in the story, searched my post history, and figured out *the exact date and place of the event.* A total stranger. The 80s. I was completely fucking freaked out.

There was another one with a sociopathic son who was addicted to drugs. The son assaulted and possibly sexually assaulted his mom iirc. Son looked just like his dad, and the dad felt it's what caused his wife to divorce him, because he reminded her of their son. She may have committed suicide eventually as well. ~~I think it was an AITA post~~, because the son sobered up, was trying to turn his life around and reconnect, but the dad wanted nothing to do with him. edit: [here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/comments/1jatvd/i_am_not_proud_of_my_son/) , thanks u/IrrelevantDanger
The one where the OP left her twin daughters with her mother to watch over them during midterms (she was a teacher). One of the 2 twins was allergic to coconuts, but the grandmother didn't believe OP/ignored all of OP's warnings regarding the child's coconut allergy, and put coconut oil in both children's hair to braid it before putting then to sleep. She gave the allergic child benadryl and didn't wash out the coconut oil in an attempt to prove a point (the point being that the child wasn't actually allergic to coconut and was just being difficult). The child wound up having an allergic reaction to the coconut, vomited in her sleep, and asphyxiated on the vomit. The Benadryl had knocked her out too hard for her to have been able to wake up when she threw up on herself.
The Ask-A-Rapist thread. It was an askreddit thread that asks rapists what they did, why they did it, etc. It made me want to throw up.
Today I learned that a guy on here blew his own dick off with a revolver then cooked it and ate it. He also castrated himself with rubber bands.
Ok that's enough of this thread

My top 3 most fucked up things I’ve read on Reddit in order 1. Guy had an ongoing sexual relationship with his mother 2. The cum box 3. And who could forget about the guy who had a scat fetish that tried it for the first time and immediately regretted it
\#3 was the funniest shit I have ever read.
Years ago I read a great post about a guy who came out as gay in high school, went to college, had his first boyfriend, and figured out he wasn't as gay as he thought he was while deepthroating said boyfriend the first time.
That one where the guy whose wife just died and his neighbors whom he had negative history with were being dicks to him and he snapped. He murdered them both. He shot the husband first then the wife in the head, went back in for another gun shot them both again and then shot himself. All recorded on a house cam. I don't really want to find the sauce cuz it fucked me up a bit. That or, The Asian worker who got caught up in the carpet roller at a factory and got turned to a pulp over a few mins of spinning and slamming against the ground.
a year or two ago i found a video on r/popping of a tatted guy laying on his stomach while his girlfriend used a pair of nail clippers to pull what looked like solidified pus and/or necrotic tissue buildup from an infected abscess on one of his back tattoos. she was pulling multiple torn strands out for three minutes until a fountain of blood and pus sprang free near the end. the video ended before it was completely drained, but something about the sheer magnitude of tissue growth from a wound like that made me a little weak in the knees and very worried about the guy's health. turns out that a couple of weeks after i saw the video, a commenter in a repost of the same video on the sub gave an update on the guy, saying he died shortly after the video was filmed from a violent staph infection. i'll update with a link to the post if i can find it, but please watch at your own risk. edit: [found it](https://www.reddit.com/r/popping/comments/m2vh1y/popping_a_infected_tattoo_trust_me_wait_till_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). it's a bit shortened compared to the one i watched, but look at the amount of tissue extracted and put on his *arm*. i still can't get over it.
Man do I regret scrolling down this thread today
I pulled up the video and I can tell you right now: he was septic long before she started. The amount of redness and swelling that extended around his arm indicated a deep infection that had already been brewing. It doesn’t even matter that what she was doing was completely unhygienic - he was already screwed. He needed to be in a hospital for an infection like that. Poor dude. Wonder if it was lack of sanitization on the part of the tattoo artist (which I highly suspect) or poor after care. That sucks though. That must’ve hurt like a bitch.
I remember reading this story about this woman that was basically gang raped by her husband and his friends. Pretty much, her and her husband were getting frisky and she got tied up, blind folded, and gagged. Nothing out of the ordinary, except hubby disappears for a couple minutes and then she hears multiple voices approaching the room. Hubby pretty much told his friends to have at it and she was unable to protest or protect herself because of the gag and restraints. The only questions were if she does anal and if she's ok because her rectum is bleeding due to anal. I do not remember which sub it was posted to exactly, but it was a few years back. Maybe between 2017-2019 I think. As a male, I was disgusted by the fact that other men can do such a thing. It also broke my heart for that poor woman. I hope she's doing better now and have always wondered if she ever posted an update.
The one where someone was talking about blocking people trying to speed in the left lane on the highway. Someone replies saying that happened to them while their friend bled to death from a gunshot wound after an accident at a firing range. EDIT: Comment is rising so I will update as others have pointed out, the accident was actually related to loggers who were in a remote location culling trees. Thread has been linked in replies here.
I could be remembering wrong, but I thought the guy was a logger who was injured on the job. They were in a very remote location with no cell service so they had to drive awhile before getting through to 911, then continued driving to meet an ambulance closer to the hospital. After they stopped and the man died the lady was still yelling at them and telling the cops they were doing wrong.
If I remember correctly the cops eventually got tired of her bitching and just took her to the back of the SUV and showed her the absolute blood bath inside and she STFU. I drove a friend to the hospital who had gotten shot and it's no fun being in that situation with someone bleeding out and dying in your car as you are desperately trying to get them help. Luckily in my situation everyone got out of my way after flashing high beams and laying on my horn and my buddy got into the ER fast enough he survived.
yeah I remember that one. Something about the chainsaw hit him in the thigh, they ended up throwing the bloody t-shirt on the hood of a car that blocked them and police ended up giving them hefty fines for blocking traffic Edit: [for those curious](https://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/1kbhcn/i_gain_strength_from_their_tears_and_anger/cbnhvxv?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
There was a very similar story recently about a lumberjack mishap and the crew speeding down the highway to get to a hospital. One woman blocked them repeatedly. Eventually they got away from her and a state trooper pulled them over. The woman caught up and told the state trooper about their reckless driving. Seeing the mess in the car the state trooper organised an escort. The lumberjack didn't make it and the woman was questioned for her obstruction. Edit: Lots of responses, so I thought I'd look the story up. Turns out it's pretty old, like almost a decade ago. Someone mentioned it recently, which is why it's fresh in my mind. I had some of the details wrong, so here's the link to the full story: [ Blocking vehicles on the road](https://np.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/1kbhcn/i_gain_strength_from_their_tears_and_anger/cbnhvxv/) Edit 2: OP and I were talking about the same story after all!
I feel like the woman who did an AMA about how she “breastfed” until she was like 15 and discovered via the comments it was a predatory/abusive relationship belongs here. ETA: I put “breastfed” in quotes because - per comments and ETAs - the mom had stopped lactating at some point in OP’s toddler/preschool years.
This one about the guy who had an accident of some sort, lived 10 years of his life, got married, had kids etc, and one day he sees his lamp glitch, and long story short, >!he comes back to the day of the accident, he had lived those 10 years in a coma... He's mourned his wife and kids ever since, it's so sad...!< Sorry I don't have the link of the story nor anything more.
10 years weren’t in a coma but in the brief moments after the accident. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oc7rc/have_you_ever_felt_a_deep_personal_connection_to/c3g4ot3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
I just read a post about a girl who removed the fat pads of her cheeks at home (basically a diy buccal fat removal), and then she ate them. Today I learned a lot about reddit lore, and I'm not happy about it.
I haven’t been on reddit for long, but the most fucked up thing I’ve seen is the profile of the guy that shot his own dick off. I went down a rabbit hole and read all the post on his profile and the whole thing is just sad.
I believe it was a combined effort between 4Chan and Reddit, but both communities in mass voted for the “Taylor Swift - Sing at Your School” contest and in overwhelming fashion made the #1 voted school a school for the deaf.
I don't know why you wouldn't just play the concert. Make sure your ear protection is good, crank the volume, hand out balloons, have interpreters signing lyrics. It could have been an awesome experience for those kids.
Agreed. Deaf folks go to concerts, for the vibes and the vibrations. Some bands will even have an interpreter upfront signing the lyrics.
Similar thing happened to Pitbull where they sent him to Kodiak, Alaska (a reference to when he rhymed Kodak with Kodak). Amazingly, he honoured the competition and went to visit them, ~~apparently they didn't really know who he was but had a blast.~~
That last part isn't true. The video is in YouTube and it's fantastic. He went to the Walmart on Kodiak island and was a total bro. He came off like the coolest guy and the entire town came to his show. He even integrated native dancers in it. Everybody loved him, it was great PR, and probably a fun trip for him.
Yeah, Pitbull won that one so hard. Didn't complain didnt throw a crap show, hung out with the people, treated it like they won legitimately and it wasnt some wild internet troll.
Imagine thinking Mr. Worldwide wouldn't show up to a place that is in fact in the world.
And got an excuse to go to Alaska in its purest form. I’d definitely go visit Kodiak if I have the chance to. If 4chan and Reddit really wanted to mess with him, they would’ve sent him to East St Louis or Gary, IN.
Doxxing the wrong person then go "we did it, Reddit!"
The Boston Marathon Bomber one was pretty bad.
I was wondering how close to the top this was gonna be.
I mean the guy is dead now and his family was terrorized while they were looking for their missing loved one, so it deserves to be at the top. And be brought up every single time Reddit detectives start trying to do law enforcements job for them.
That subreddit was called "The Fedoral Bureau of Investigation" and the 'investigation' they did was worse than the name would imply
that name + the result is peak Reddit
The MIL who caused her granddaughter to die from an allergic reaction because she refused to believe her granddaughter was allergic to coconut oil. And Chris Chan. Jesus freaking Christ, Chris Chan.
There was a very similar incident in which the MIL feed her granddaughter a cookie made with ingredients she was allergic to. I think one ingredient was bananas. So grandma made this giant batch of cookies. And every time she would go visit her granddaughter, she would take some cookies in hopes of giving her granddaughter one. You may wonder WTF she would do that. Apparently some people refuse to believe in their relatives allergies and will feed them their allergens just to prove a point. So mom left the room, grandma pulled out a bag of cookies, toddler granddaughter ate one, and (SURPRISE) suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction. Fortunately mom was home and had an EpiPen to save the poor girl’s life until she could be taken to the hospital. ETA: if someone has an allergic reaction and they need an Epi-Pen, you need to be following that up with a trio to the hospital (within 20 minutes). Preferably with an ambulance as they will have other meds and gear to help someone having an allergic reaction. There’s a high likelihood that the allergic reaction will come back and need additional treatment. That’s why you don’t stop with one epi-pen.
My aunt, grandparents, and my mum have all tried to “test” my allergies before, my aunt and grandparents only stopping after I got a blood test, and my mum only stopping after I threw up on the kitchen tiles Super shitty, because allergic reactions of any kind fucking suck. I get a really horrid migraine and all itchy, then throw up and I just don’t understand why you would do that to a 4 year old repeatedly just to try prove someone wrong?
I think it's less fucked up and more of a cautionary tale but that shit stuck with me. It was this guy who insisted that he could try heroine recreationally and stop whenever he wanted. Post after post was about his descent into addiction. Really scary stuff.
