What is more terrifying than a horror movie? The horror that occurs around us every day. Reality has this odd way of being far more strange than anything a mere movie can cook up. It is my gift to you this Halloween to break the illusion of comfort you have watching your favorite chilling tales on tv that you know aren't real, by giving you truly horrifying stories that have actually occurred. Do you hate clowns, bugs and evil infested homes?? Then you probably shouldn't read the rest of this blog.
1.Clowns
I'm not sure why clowns are so scary to so many people, its basically just white face paint! Maybe its because unfortunately evil clowns really do exist.
-Marlene Warren
In 1990 Marlene Warren from the Palm Beach area was shot in the face by a clown with two silver balloons and a bunch of flowers.While her husband was suspected the case remains unsolved
-The clown hitman
The leader of a Mexican cartel was murdered by a clown. Francisco Arellano Felix the leader of the Arellano Felix drug clan was shot to death on the Baha beach resort of Los Cabos by a gunman in a clown costume.
-Klutzo
Amon Paul 'Klutzo" Carlock of Springfield IL. was a clown and minister who entertained children in Sunday school. When he returned from a mission trip (as a clown) in the Philippines and was stopped by a routine check at the airport. Authorities found photos of young naked boys in his camera and laptop. His house was then raided where more child porn was found. Many children testified to his abuse in court.
-Pogo
Last but not least is Pogo but you may know him as John Wayne Gacy..You know the rapist and serial killer who also entertained as a clown at children's parties. He killed over 33 people and hid them in his basement.
2.Creepy Crawlers
Ever go through a spider web and get so freaked out you rip your shirt off out of fear you can't see the spider hiding out in the folds of your garment..oh, that's just me? Um....well ok then, maybe these stories won't freak you out as much as they did me.
-The spider house
In Misouri there is a house that bleeds brown recluses. Yep you just read that correct. In 2007 a family bought a home at whitmoor country club estates for over 400,000. Shortly after moving in the home they found out it was infested with over 5,000 brown recluse spiders. The spiders would fall on them during showers and out of lighting fixtures. The family moved out of the house and filed bankruptcy. Let's just burn this home down and call it a day.
-Blood Suckers
A British backpacker had a leech in her nose for about a month. After returning home she noticed something sticking out of her nose but thought it was just blood from persistent nose bleeds she was having. she was wrong. It took the doctors over half an hour with her pinned to the bed with tweezers to remove the leech. The leech was the size of her forefinger and as fat as her thumb. For the love of everything holy how does one go a month without noticing they have a leech lodged in their sinus cavities.
-The chest burster
A spider crawled through an old appendix scar of an Australian man and made his way to his chest. Doctors found and removed the small tropical spider. The man woke up one morning to a red line extending from his navel toward his chest. Each day the line would go further up his body. The doctor finally figured out something was up when blisters started to form. Look I'm not saying it was aliens but...ALIENS.
3. Murder Houses
-The Cecil Hotel
Room 1408 ain't got nothing on this place. It's impossible for me to give you information on all the macabre happenings here. Built in 1927, for some reason it became a top destination for suicides in the 50's. By the 60's it turned into a happening place for murders and was one of the last places the black dahlia was seen alive. Robert Ramirez and Jack Unterweger both lived there. Also the poor Elisa Lam had her mental break down here. If you are into odd spectral photographs, this is the place to get them. Quite a few out of place pictures have been taken there. Um, can some one call the exorcist for this building..stat?
-The Holmes Murder Castle
In 1886 H.H. Holmes moved to Chicago and started building a castle. During the 1893 world's fair he opened the home as a hotel to lure in victims. The home had mazes, gas lines, chutes, trapdoors, and kilns so that he could kill and dispose of bodies. It is speculated he killed between 20 and 200 people before being caught. He was hanged at age 34 in 1896. This sounds a whole lot like the plot to saw.
-1129 Ride Avenue
The Congelier mansion got its start as a place for evil to reside in 1871 when Lyda Congelier caught her husband with the servant girl Essie and stabbed him and DECAPITATED her. Then in 1900 Dr. Brunrichter blew the windows out of the home during an experiment to re-animate the heads of recently dead women.Thomas Edison even visited the home and attempted to contact the deceased. The home was destroyed in 1927 by a local gas company during an accident. This story is so crazy it sounds made up! Who wants to make a movie about a crazy Frankenstein mad scientist working with Thomas Edison to create zombies to destroy Tesla with me?
Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you manage to stay away from murdering clowns, infestations of insects and houses inhabited by satan.
