Creepiest thing ever?
« on: July 03, 2026, 07:20:08 PM »
Well, I'M having fun, even if no one else is!  :D My weirdness studies (and experiences) have largely focused on the possibility of the survival of death. I'm just strange enough that I find the question somewhat more important than whether Oswald porked Judyth Vary Baker (answer: no, Marina is proof he had better taste than that).

There's nothing paranormal about this topic, but I was unaware of it until I few years ago and find it creepier than hell. The death of children was so common in Victorian times, sometimes from causes we'd treat with Neosporin ointment and a Band Aid, that the Victorians often dressed the deceased child and posed him or her, eyes open, with the rest of the family. It was very common.

In this photo, the little girl on the far left was No Longer With Us when the photo was taken. Is that weird - indeed, haunting - or what? No wonder the brother next to her looks a bit unnerved.

Including dead family members in photographs is creepy, but this is creepier I think:

A doctor had a female patient, she was very beautiful and he, a widower, fell in love with her. Unfortunately she died and was buried in a tomb because of the rocky ground in the town. One night the doctor broke into the tomb and took her body home, covering her body in bandages dipped in wax to combat decomposition and inserted a vaginal tube to allow for sexual intercourse. He kept her company and combed her hair every day and did her make up etc. He was very devoted but obviously quite mad. At one point people found out, he was arrested and the body returned to a grave.

This is the creepiest thing I ever heard and hope I tell the tale correctly, it has been a while. Dr. Michael Baden of HSCA fame was on the show.

The creepiest thing ever?

I would have to say Fancy Pants Rants (FPR) is right up there.
