Note: Graphic content ahead including stories of murder and death.

1.In 2022, a man, Jose Rafael Solano Landaeta, used a samurai sword to decapitate his ex-girlfriend, Karino Castro, out in public in the middle of a neighborhood street. According to reports, "horrified witnesses" said they watched Castro "run for her life," as Landaeta chased her with the sword. Castro's grandmother called the killing a "public execution," while a family friend said that Castro's daughters "saw everything."

2.A 63-year-old man died a horrific death during a flight from Bangkok to Munich this month after experiencing a "medical emergency," and losing "liters of blood." According to witnesses, blood gushed out of his nose and mouth, with some of it even splattering onto the plane's walls. "It was absolute horror. Everyone was screaming," said a passenger.

Although first aid measures were taken by the crew as well as a doctor on board, the passenger died on board, and the flight turned back to Bangkok. In the statement to People, the airline said it could not reveal specific information regarding the incident.

3.Just last week, a severed leg was found on the subway tracks in the Bronx, New York. Initially, it was unknown where the leg came from, as it had been covered up by snow for some time, and was only discovered after crews began plowing the snow. However, it is now believed that it belonged to a (now-deceased) man who had been struck by a train.

5.In similar news, it was discovered that nearly 200 corpses were "abused" at a different Colorado funeral home for several years. Authorities had initially responded to a "stain" coming out of the front door when the gruesome discovery was made.

6.These images of what looks like a chicken egg, but is actually some kind of horrible infection, apparently. (According to other Reddit users, it may actually be a "lash" egg, which is basically like a large pus infection that may or may not contain parts of egg):

7.A woman in Kansas City, Missouri was charged in the death of her 1-month-old child after allegedly placing the baby in an oven instead of the baby's crib. When authorities responded to the home (after a report of an infant not breathing), they found "an individual holding the 1-month-old who was unresponsive and had burn wounds." The baby was declared dead at the scene.

8.Back in 2018, a surgeon in the United Kingdom literally branded his initials onto the transplanted livers of some of his patients...without their consent. He used an argon beam — which is used to stop bleeding during operations — and signed "SB." The brandings were discovered after another surgeon saw the initials during a follow-up surgery on one of the patients.

9.This shockingly lifelike mummy of a little 2-year-old girl in Palermo, Sicily, who some people say appears to "open and close" her eyes. The girl, Rosalia Lombardo, who died in 1920 of the Spanish Flu, is amazingly mummified (thanks to embalming methods and chemicals). However, people often get creeped out because her eyes sometimes appear "open." The truth, however, is that it's just an optical illusion. According to the curator of the Capuchin Catacombs (where Rosalia is entombed), this illusion is caused by the light that filters in through the windows, which changes throughout the day.

The curator, Dario Piombino-Mascali, also explained that the mummy had been moved slightly to make it easier to see her eyelids. "They are not completely closed, and indeed they have never been," he said.

25.Speaking of mosquitoes, in the 1950s, '60s, and even as late as the early '70s, kids would literally chase after trucks that sprayed DDT, a synthetic pesticide that was used in agriculture to kill mosquitoes. Apparently, kids did this because they liked to play in the thick fog it created. 🙃
