Scary horror stories. The most terrible horrors. Creepy stories. Horror stories - scary bedtime stories

We present to your attention photos that, at first glance, may seem quite ordinary and harmless. But what made them famous was the fact that terrible events were hidden behind each of them. It’s unlikely that any of us think that this or that photograph could be the last in our lives or precede a tragedy. For example, not long ago, newlyweds on vacation were photographed a second before the accident. And if it is impossible to capture death itself, then in each of the photographs presented below it is definitely invisibly present.

Survivors. At first glance, there is nothing unusual in this photo. Until you notice a gnawed human spine in the lower right corner.

The subjects of the photo are the players of the Uruguayan rugby team "Old Cristians" from Montevideo, who survived the plane crash on October 13, 1972: the plane crashed in the Andes. Of the 40 passengers and 5 crew members, 12 died in the disaster or shortly after it; then 5 more died the next morning..

Search operations stopped on the eighth day, and the survivors had to fight for life for more than two months. Since food supplies quickly ran out, they had to eat the frozen corpses of their friends.

Without receiving help, some of the victims made a dangerous and long journey through the mountains, which turned out to be successful. 16 men were rescued.

In 2012 star of Mexican music Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash. The selfie on the plane was taken a few minutes before the tragedy.

No one survived the plane crash

Thunderstorm Games. In August 1975, a girl from the United States, Mary McQuilken, photographed her two brothers, Michael and Sean, during severe weather, with whom she spent time on the top of one of the rocks in California's Sequoia National Park.

A second after the photo was taken, all three were struck by lightning. Only 18-year-old Michael managed to survive. In this photo is the boys' sister Mary.

It is worth noting that the atmospheric discharge was so powerful and close that the young people’s hair literally stood on end. Survivor Michael works as a computer engineer and still receives emails asking questions about what happened that day.

Regina Walters. A 14-year-old girl was photographed by a serial killer named Robert Ben Rhodes a few seconds before he was killed... The maniac took Regina into an abandoned barn, cut her hair and forced her to wear a black dress and shoes.

Rhodes traveled around the United States in a huge trailer, which he equipped as a torture chamber. At least three people a month became his victims.

Walters was one of those who fell into the trap of a maniac. Her body was found in a barn that was to be burned.

"Fire!"In April 1999, high school students from the American Columbine School posed for a group photo. Behind the general gaiety, two guys pretending to point a rifle and a pistol at the camera hardly attracted attention.

But in vain. A few days later, these guys, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, showed up at Columbine with weapons and homemade explosives: their victims were 13 fellow students and 23 people were injured.

The crime was carefully planned, which led to such a number of victims.

The culprits were not detained, because in the end they shot themselves. It later became known that the teenagers had been outsiders at school for many years, and the incident became a cruel act of revenge.

Girl with black eyes. You might think that this is a still from a horror movie, but, unfortunately, this is a real photo. In November 1985, the Ruiz volcano erupted in Colombia, as a result of which the province of Armero was covered with mudflows.

13-year-old Omayra Sanchez became a victim of the tragedy: her body got stuck in the rubble of a building, as a result, the girl stood up to her neck in mud for three days. Her face was swollen, her hands were almost white, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Rescuers tried to rescue the girl in different ways, but in vain.

Three days later, Omaira fell into agony, stopped responding to people and eventually died.

Family photo. It would seem that there is nothing strange in a Victorian era photo of a father, mother and daughter. The only peculiarity: the girl came out very clearly in the photo, but her parents were blurry. Can you guess why? Before us is one of the posthumous photographs popular in those days, and the girl depicted in it died shortly before of typhus.

The corpse remained motionless in front of the lens, which is why it appeared clearly: photographs in those days were taken with long exposures, which is why it took a very, very long time to pose. Perhaps this is why “post-mortem” photos (i.e. “after death”) have become incredibly fashionable. Oddly enough, the heroine of this photo is also already dead.

The woman in this photo died in childbirth. In photo salons they even installed special devices for fixing corpses, and the eyes of the dead were opened and a special agent was dropped into them so that the mucous membrane did not dry out and the eyes did not become cloudy.

Fatal dive. It would seem that there is nothing strange in this photo of divers. However, why does one of them lie at the very bottom?

Divers accidentally discovered the body of 26-year-old Tina Watson, who died on October 22, 2003, during her honeymoon. A girl and her husband named Gabe went on their honeymoon to Australia, where they decided to go diving.

Underwater, the lover turned off the young wife’s oxygen tank and held her at the bottom until she suffocated. Later, the criminal, who received a life sentence, said that his goal was to obtain insurance.

Sad father. At a quick glance, there is nothing unusual in this photo of a pensive African man, but upon closer inspection, you will notice that a severed child’s foot and hand lie in front of the man.

The photo shows a Congolese rubber plantation worker who was unable to work out the quota. As punishment, the overseers ate his five-year-old daughter, giving the remains for edification... This was practiced quite often, as can be seen from other photographs.

At the same time, white officers and overseers presented his right hand as proof that they had destroyed the local cannibal. The desire to rise in the ranks led to the fact that everyone's hands were cut off, including children, and those who pretended to be dead could remain alive...

Assassin with a sword. It would seem like a Halloween photo, wouldn't it? 21-year-old Swede, Anton Lundin Peterson, came to one of the Trollhatten schools dressed like this on October 22, 2015. Two schoolchildren decided that what was happening was a joke and joyfully took pictures with a stranger in a strange outfit.

After that, Peterson stabbed these young men and went for the next victims. He ended up killing one teacher and four children. The police opened fire on him and he died from his wounds in the hospital.

Dying tourist. Americans Sailor Gilliams and Brenden Vega went hiking in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, but due to inexperience they got lost. There was no connection, and due to the heat and lack of water, the girl was left completely exhausted. Brendan went for help, but fell to his death after falling off a cliff.

And these photos were taken by a group of experienced tourists who, upon returning home, noticed with horror a red-haired girl lying unconscious on the ground. Rescuers went by helicopter to the scene of the tragedy, Sailor survived.

Kidnapping two-year-old James Bulger. It would seem that what is strange is that an older boy leads a younger one by the hand? But behind this photo lies a terrible tragedy...

Jon Venables and Robert Thompson took two-year-old James Bulger from a shopping centre, brutally beat him, covered his face in paint and left him to die on the train tracks.

The 10-year-old killers were found thanks to surveillance video. The criminals received the maximum sentence for their age - 10 years, which extremely outraged the public and the victim's mother. Moreover, in 2001 they were released and received documents under new names.

In 2010, it was revealed that Jon Venables had been returned to prison for an unspecified parole violation.

It later became known that Venables was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. Police found 57 images of child pornography on his computer. Venables posed online as a 35-year-old married woman who bragged about abusing her 8-year-old daughter in hopes of obtaining more child pornography.

Take a photo of your own killer. Again, at first glance, this is an ordinary family photo, but take a closer look at the background.

The photo was taken by Filipino adviser Reynaldo Dagza, whom the killer decided to take revenge on for helping to arrest him for stealing a car.

It was the photo that helped quickly identify the killer and put him behind bars again.

Suicide on the bridge. A Chinese reporter who was trying to capture the fog on the Wuhan Yangtze River discovered only after a detailed study of the photo that the picture captured a man falling from a bridge; as it turned out later, his girlfriend jumped after him a few seconds later.

Last shower. The man in the photo has a strange expression on his face, don’t you think? The camera containing this photo was found in the washing machine of Travis Alexander, who was killed in the shower by being stabbed 25 times, including in the neck, and shot in the head.

The incident was blamed on his girlfriend Jodi Arias, with whom he was going to break up, but the girl pursued him and literally did not give way.

Other photographs found at the crime scene showed the pair in sexual poses, and an image of Travis in the shower was taken at 5.29pm on the day of the murder. In photos taken just minutes later, Alexander was already lying on the floor in blood.

Seconds before the explosion. The father and daughter posing for the photo hardly knew that the car photographed next to them contained explosives that would detonate in a few seconds.

This terrorist attack in August 1998 was carried out by the terrorist organization Genuine Irish Republican Army. As a result, 29 people were killed and more than 220 were injured. The camera with the first photo was found under the rubble, and his heroes miraculously survived.

Any doctor knows that there are no healthy people. Moreover, mentally healthy...
I’ll tell you a story I heard from the lips of one of my St. Petersburg friends. For reasons that will become clear below, I will change her name somewhat.

Alina had been divorced for more than three years. After ten years of marriage and a completely normal family life, she and her husband parted ways. Maybe because they knew each other since childhood and during this time they became quite fed up with each other. Maybe because the spouse sometimes gave reasons for justified jealousy. And Alina herself cuckolded her husband several times. True, not as openly as he...

In three years of freedom from marriage, the thirty-five-year-old woman has seen a lot of men. Of course, not in the full sense of the word. Most meetings ended with the first innocent date in a cafe or park. Why waste time on a bad option in advance?
With each new gentleman, experience increased. Alina learned within the first ten minutes of communication to imagine what kind of fruit or vegetable was blowing her cheeks. She did not double-check how correct her assessment turned out to be, completely relying on her feminine intuition.

“From one drop of water, a person who knows how to think logically can conclude about the possibility of the existence of the Atlantic Ocean or Niagara Falls, even if he has never seen or heard of either one. Every life is a huge chain of causes and effects, and we can understand its nature one by one.”

(Arthur Conan Doyle. “A Study in Scarlet”)
The works of Conan Doyle, dedicated to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the famous London “consulting” detective, have become classics of the detective genre.


The prototype of Holmes is considered to be Dr. Joseph Bell, a colleague of Conan Doyle, who worked at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and was famous for his ability to guess the character, occupation and past of a person from the smallest details.


Mysterious stories and ancient legends about ghosts have always existed. Many people do not believe in legends, making the excuse that they have never seen or heard a single ghost in a cemetery or other similar place. But just because people haven’t seen it doesn’t mean ghosts don’t exist. Even in ancient Rus', it was necessary to hold a funeral feast for the dead, and in subsequent centuries - funeral services, seeing them off to another world and giving respect and honor, otherwise, according to legend, the spirits of the rest could return and begin to trouble people.

Today in our intensive care unit, where I work as a nurse, it was just a hell of a shift.

A 63-year-old man was brought from the area with a glass in his rectum. The man confusedly explained that first he put a bottle of a condom inside himself, and then a glass, bottom first. The glass somehow turned over and went there no longer with its bottom, and then the bottle fell into the glass, and this whole structure went so deep into the intestine that the man himself could not get it out, and he walked with it for two whole days, in the hope, that she would come out on her own, and today he was brought to us by ambulance.

Four doctors fiddled for an hour and a half, trying to take turns removing the glasses with their hands and various medical devices. There was a question about preserving the rectum. They even wanted to invite an obstetrician with forceps. The task was complicated by the fact that when pulled out, the glass could burst inside the intestine, and the fragments would cut everything there. It was not possible to mechanically remove objects from the man’s backside; they decided to cut the perineum and slightly incise the intestine. We took out the glasses, sewed everything up, and now we are waiting to see how the healing process goes. Personally, this is the first time in my practice. Some nurses say they have encountered similar cases, but not as complex. If it were up to me, today I would award our doctors with orders for their work.
