20 Scary Facts That Are Not For The Faint-Hearted
There are lots of facts out there that are undiscovered by many people. Most humans are curious about some lesser-known stuff whatever its nature be – good, bad, weird, creepy, or scary. Sometimes, a wholesome fact can bring a smile to our face, while other times a creepy fact can send a shiver down our spine, but it’s always interesting to know about all of those facts and trivia.
Recently, a Redditor who goes by the name ‘RefrigeratorDry495‘, wanted to know about “some simple yet incredibly disturbing/scary facts” and many people shared their knowledge in the comment thread about some not-so-fun facts. Scroll below to read them in the gallery below.
“Cotard’s syndrome, also called “walking corpse syndrome,” is a condition wherein the patient believes they are dead, dying, missing parts of their bodies, or don’t exist.
Some people with Cotard’s syndrome may stop speaking or eating since they believe they’re dead.”
“Sharks have been around for at least 420 million years, meaning they have survived four of the “big five” mass extinctions. That makes them older than humanity, older than Mount Everest, older than dinosaurs, older even than trees. Yet we could potentially see them extinct in our lifetime.”
“If a biological trait is common in almost every human, then it evolved for a reason. Almost everybody has the same response to the “uncanny valley,” or in other words we are made uncomfortable by things that look almost human but not quite. This implies humans once had a reason to fear something that looks human but isn’t.”
“Your eyes have a seperate immune-system from the rest of your body. Once your body’s immune system discovers you have eyes, it will attack and inflame the blood vessels in the back of your eyes. This can lead to your vision decreasing or even going blind.”
“6 nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered since the 1950s.”
“Egyptian mummies wouldn’t be so rare today if the Victorian British hadn’t eaten most of them.”
“The world invests more money in viagra and botox than in the study of Alzheimer.”
“Statistically speaking, if you are a woman and get murdered, it was most likely by a family member, partner or ex-partner, in your own home.
If you are a man and get murdered, it was most likely by an acquaintance or stranger, in a public place.”
“idk why this freaks some ppl out, but gelatin is made out of bones. That’s right – your melted marshmallow in your hot chocolate is melted animal bone. It’s good stuff.
That’s why the traditional marshmallows aren’t vegan or halal…”
“If given access to it, butterflies will happily drink blood.”
“Capgras Syndrome is a mental delusion where you believe that the people closest to you have been replaced by impostors.”
“You have no way of really knowing if everyone experiences reality and consciousness the same way you do.”
“If a panda finds a fresh carcass, they’ll eat it.”
“Maximum part of oxygen came from sea/oceans. But people always talks about protecting trees not sea/oceans.”

“Chimps don’t attack to kill. Instead they aim for the genitals, face, and fingers and will leave the opponent alive.
There have been many people who have owned chimps who have turned on their owners and left them incredibly disfigured. One case, the chimp ripped a man’s junk off. In all cases, faces were mutilated and fingers were chewed off. It’s pretty much how they instinctively fight in the wild.
So if you think that chimp is going to be a cute pet, better think twice. Even if you raised it since it was born, they’ll turn on you at any second. A disfigurement roulette waiting to happen.
Vile creatures.”
