So, in the middle of watching this a robin flew into my window with a bang and scared the crap out of me 😂

The making of The Wizard of Oz was terrifying. They almost killed Buddy Ebsen by painting him with aluminum to play the Tin Man, he got so sick they had to replace him with Jack Haley.

the fungus at 5:44 is a slime mold they are harmless and pretty damn interesting. Japan even used it to make the best railway possible.

So, the thing hanging in the Airbnb basement is actually a ham. Its an old fasioned way of preserving meats where you coat the outside with a strong desiccant (like salt) wrap the ham in a sack cloth. The cloth molds still but keeps incects from being able to reach the ham while the desiccant prevents microbes from making it to the ham. There is a decent chance it is even still good to eat despite looking that terrifying.

There is a 6 part story explaining why you shouldnt dig up old Aztec masks Edit: For the more simple-minded part of the population who keep insisting that "Um aCthuAllY ItHs NiNe pArts", if you read the actual manga you would understand that 7 8 and so far, 9, do not have any stone mask, because they dont even share a universe.

I love how the 5 Nights guy first made a game that was not meant to be scary at all, but people were freaked out by the character designs. So what does he do? Get upset? Abandon the project? Nope, he just rolls with it and says 'I guess I'm making a horror game instead.' And history was made lol.

The dog in the wig is just bringing back painful memories from Fullmetal Alchemist

The little windows are DEFINITELY terrifying

6:14 What's even scarier is that I don't think those tracks are abandoned. The tops of the railheads look shiny, which is an indicator of a still active line

Ooh! So those mushrooms at 12:00 look like pink oyster mushrooms. Fun fact, oyster mushrooms are apparently capable of safely breaking down and digesting polyester. It's cool to think that that bear might be stuffed with something like polyfill, and we're seeing plastic being returned to nature right before our eyes.

Balloon fest '86 hindered the search for 2 lost fishermen, the life jackets couldn't be seen amongst the balloons. Their bodies were found later

Now I understand why they passed out when in that flower field. As a Canadian, I can confirm snow is terrifying.

2:33 "I'm rejecting my humanity, JoJo!"

2:33 The mask either gonna make me loose my humanity or became a banana-coloured suit trickster.

The Buffalo one makes me very sad. The hatred is the scariest part of this video

I'm assuming the door thing was actually someone using a battering ram. Which, depending on the situation, is still terrifying.

“Ed.. Ed..ward….”

This sub seems to struggle between finding oddly terrifying and just goes straight to downright terrifying sometimes

The thing with the Bobby Dunbar, iirc the mother even stated "that's not my boy" and was dismissed by the police. Either that or there was a similar story where a missing boy was "reunited" with his parents despite his real parents pleading for their kid back. Real parents were poor, but the people who claimed him as his own were gifting him crazy stuff, like he got his own horse. So this kid who was probably 6 or 7 had to decide, truth or wealth, and chose wealth.

When the giant aquarium broke, there were two injured. Also, the DDR-Museum (the museum about life in East Germany) underneath has been closed ever since to deal with the damage - it's hoping to reopen soon though!

12:40 the guy who took the picture probably owns a cat. That's a mouse stomach. Cats usually don't eat it because it tastes acidic. Source: my neighbors cat who leaves me one almost weekly.

The thing about the wet linens for mental patients was that they were soaked in hot water and rather heavy. A bit like a warm weighted blanket. Not saying it's perfect, but one of the milder treatments for patients. My favorite is still the cat piano.

First one reminds me of that time when I met a fellow alchemist and found out that he transmuted his daughter and his dog to make a chimera

10:52 the aquarium that bursted only didn’t hurt anyone because it bursted at 4 am in the night or something, the only ones that could’ve get hurt were the hotel guest around it, if it happened during the day time it sure as hell would’ve at least hurt a few people, as a German this was all over the news for a time being.

That dog has an interesting story to tell you about alchemists

4:55 Congratulations to the camera man for being able to swim on top of the giant wave just to take a photo

0:56 that's ham! Iberian ham has to be "dried" in this way for at least two years... so it can even be edible

Another horrifying thing about the Bobby Dunbar thing, they stole the kid from a poor woman and she didn’t have the money to sue them for taking her kid. The kid also didn’t recognize the Dunbars as his family until they made him think he was. It’s pretty fucked up that this kid was kidnapped and never realized it

10:35: this treatment was still used when I did my psychiatric rotation at a state mental hospital in 1968. The cool sheets became quite warm before being removed. It was often used for schizophrenics as a calming and anchoring method. And yes, the patients were often incontinent while wrapped. Than again they used electric shocks to the head, and induced insulin shock, too.

As a not so wise specialist once said: "Delicious, tasty asbestos! My lungs will be fire proof!"

We already continue to give Robin no-good-for-health subreddit? Cool

That ending where robin says “or could be a clicker” is just cardiac arrest inducingly funny. It was very built up from all the fungus images, but you never know it.

3:40 happened at my old house because the previous owners did a shitty job installing a septic tank. My dad dug it up and never fully filled it back in. I used to lay down a tarp and leaves and scare people. My mom hated it because no one wanted to trick or treat at our house because i had decorated the tree next to the hole with random kids clothes and old shoes covered in blood. I was still small enough at 16 to pull off looking like a kid and terrified my sister's friends. My little sister loved it though

TBH, parents keeping baby teeth from their kids isn't too uncommon. Doesn't make any less creepy! XD

I've never forgotten about that caving story since hearing it ages ago. Among hearing other horror stories of caving and cave diving, I'd say I'd pick diving if I had to choose. Why? Because at least with diving you can remove the breathing gear and drown within a minute. Either way, I'd have to be suicidal to risk the experience.

I’m POSITIVE that thing hanging in the basement is prosciutto, I slice it all the time at the restaurant I work at. Shape and size is identical to it, ours just come in a bag already preserved lol.

8:00 For sale: babie shoes, never worn

4:51 good to see that the rest of the world is scared on the behalf of us in the Maldives but don't worry the only big wave we'd had in hundreds of years is the 2004 tsunami so we're probably fine *nervous laugh* EDIT: So Robin sounded really confused about it so heres some speed facts about the island that you're seeing there: That is Malé (pronounced maa and then lay) city. It is the worlds most densely populated capital city and is on an island just a few square kilometres in size. The population is roughly 130k. No amount of intelligence went into the city design of Malé, and its evident because a lot of the roads here are barely big enough for cars (except a few major ones). How has Malé survived? Because we live in the middle of the Indian ocean where extreme weather or natural calamities (like tsunamis and earthquakes) basically don't exist.

For certain mental conditions, being weighed down or hemmed in can actually be calming, as you get to feel your body better and have a perception of safety. However, wet linens wrapped around you tightly so you cannot move at all is certainly not going to have that effect. You are basically immobile and laid out in the open, i.e. as exposed as you could possibly be. At least they don't leave these poor guys there alone, too.

I love how he just says "or a Clicker" and the video just ends 😂

Worst part about being dead on Mount Everest is that you literally become a land mark in order to help climbers.

The harvest rug 2:18 reminded me that a pharmacy I was in this morning, was playing Christmas music and I forgot what time of year it is, momentarily.

7:33 that tooth did not skip leg day.

Mickey Mouse is just oddly terrifying in general tbh. Especially in off brand toys 😭

the cave one is literally one of my biggest fears its one of the most slow and uncomfortable ways to die

3:45 The depression in the soil where a body is buried becomes obvious as the body decomposes, which is what allows the soil resting on top to resettle. The remains are still there. Burying a body in a casket helps prevent the soil depression, or simply covering it with tightly packed earth and/or a stone cairne which forms a mound before decomposition. Thermal sensors are used in search and rescue recovery operations in open area searches, because they can find a living person giving off heat or depressions in flat soil that indicates a shallow grave.

I don't think he HAS seen that "horror movie".

Fun fact about Point Nemo; the currents create a dead zone there as well, so there's very little sealife as well...

0:01 oh no.... OH NO...

So I can't be the only one that saw those busted down doors and immediately thought "oh s***, who took a look at the picture of Shy Guy?"

7:26 thats not a handprint, thats a bearprint

Balloonfest of 86 is a VERY human thing to do. "Alright so we've got this non-flammable gas that's lighter than air. What should we do with it?" "use it for research?" "Revolutionize global trade?" "okay so we take several million pieces of rubber..."

I never had claustrophobia until I read about THAT trapped caver. That is truly horrific.

1:10 those boaters if they really are around point nemo might want to check the schedule for disposal of stuff from orbit. Point Nemo is famous because its where satellite operators and space agencies try to ditch things when they are done with them. The stuff that doesnt burn up on reentry could do damage or hurt someone so they drop it into Point Nemo. So for example in like 10 years someone thinking they are all cool in their yacht out there could get cacked by the ISS.

2:35 the stone mask even has an arrow near it that probably says "To be continued"

I WAS SCARED FROM THE FIRST ONE AS IT GAVE ME FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST FLASHBACKS

The empty Chinese city wasn't abandoned, it was never intended to be inhabited. Housing is about the only form of investment allowed in that country; the owners of all that live elsewhere and only have those so they can sell them when necessary.

2:28 that's literally how undead nightmare started in red dead redemption 1

0:36 Whoever works here can forever one-up anyone’s “my commute sucks” complaints.

11:10 Freddy Krueger

6:22 NOT THE FLOOFY BOI?!?!?!!?!?

Video starts, and ...Yeah, I'm fine... except... it's a terrible day for rain.

9:34 imagine you tried to roll over 💀💀💀💀💀

The four most terrifying things I've ever witnessed/heard of are: A mark on my livingroom window. We have these big windows and one of them has a circular mark on it that doesn't come off. Almost like a circular tool was used on it. Our guess is someone tried to break into our home whilst on vacation which set our alarm off. We live on the first floor but you'd need a tall ladder to get here. Once our neighbour informed us on a suspicious chair. Someone left a plastic chair in front of my window. To better explain it: in front we have an elevated portico and the road. In the back there's a wall with tubes and pipes (gas etc.) that are part of the road above us that then connects to ours in a circle movement. We live on a hill. This chair was left in front of my window in the little pathway. And my window is the lowest of them all. My brother and mother have wide short windows, I have a skinny tall window as my room is the smallest because we're on a curve. The theory is they wanted to use the chair to maybe break into our home. Oh and I'm pretty sure we once had to let a police officer get into that pathway through my window. The next things is cats fighting at 4 am. It's incredibly scary sometimes. And when my mom's friend came to visit that's the only thing she complained about. Stray cats fighting at night. And finally the Fosdinovo Castle stain. In this old castle apparently there's a stain on a wall that is impossible to cover. No matter what you do it's alsways there. And it kind of looks like the shape of a boar and a girl. The legend says that the father of this girl had her locked up because she was a ginger and fingers were considered descends of the devil (Satan). Whilst locked up she fell in love with a prince or knight. This infuriated the father who decided to lock her up in a tower of the castle with a boar so it would kill her. And that's allegedly how the stain got on the wall. Btw there are more horror stories and ghost sightings about this castle. Like tapping or heartbeat noises and stories about the Lady having lovers over that she would trap and kill in her traps. I did some research on it for a school presentation at midnight and I went to bed teary eyed absolutely scared and fucked up.

12:52 Holly shit that had to HURT

Fullmetal Alchemist fans will immediately know what that frist one is.

9:43 what scares me the most, is that this doesn't trigger me at all, and i have severe trypophobia

6:56 I saw that picture on a KZfaq ad and didn't realise that was an animatronic at the time. I still don't think it should be part of a KZfaq ad, but at least it isn't just some people jabbing stiff into a real body like I thought it was.

operating that icelandic lighthouse HAS to be terrifying, like imagine being on top of that rock operating a lighthouse god damn

5:57 this is probably a blob, a real, living thing, that looks like mold/fungi, but actually doesn't belong in any classification yet it is a unicellular (yes this BIG thing is a lone, single cell) that slowly grows and moves by creating filaments and growth and sometimes ditch a part of himself, creating another blob in the process. They aren't dangerous by any mean, but they can get really invasive if you don't limit their population and size

8:20 There's a reason why it took so long for someone to finally cross the tasman sea. Very treacherous sea

I like how r/Oddlyterrifying users have started to ignore the word ''Oddly'' and just post the most freaky shit out there.

The worm parasites isn't oddly terrifying, it makes 100% sense why it's terrifying.

fun fact about the putty cave: I'm pretty sure that people have sealed the cave enterence to prevent further tragitys and left John Jone's body in the same place he got stuck in

the random robin burp was a jumpscare in itself, the mask was less scary than that 💀

3:34 80 cigs a _day_ and she could still act AFTER that?! That's actualy insane Also as for that Chinese city, there's a solid chance those skyscrapers were _always_ empty. They were meant to house people for a booming planned economy, but that never happened. People never moved in so the skyscrapers just stand there...menacingly, devoid of activity

9:28 Abandoned implies they were ever occupied to begin with. Instead, China's finding itself in a problem where they're constantly building these new cities in the middle of nowhere, but they cost way too much, and their population isn't growing fast enough to fill the homes According to an Insider article from 2021, China had 65 MILLION homes that have no one living in them. That's literally a fifth of the country's homes that have never had occupants, enough space to house the entire population of France

And you just HAD to start with the FMA reference

Aww, man. He completely missed the reference to Full Metal Alchemist and thought it was a reference to a movie called "Wig".

Loved this as someone afraid of cave diving and the way fungus grows

8:43 bro looks like a bootleg ebay action figure

12:16 is literally ponyo irl

6:36 I've heard It's an Zombie game in real life, like some people get a field and then people with BB guns go there, trade, kidnap and shoot each other to find a code for a puzzle, It's similar to that and I bet that in this case they want it to be realistic so they tell people that when they die they probably have to lay there for some time and look like a dead body

Hey Emkay! These videos always make me smile, and I love this sub, it's kinda the perfect mix of terrifying and funny, so I'm always happy when you post r/oddlyterrifying

12:00 That's gotta be a variant of SCP-1048 or something.

The real terrifying part about those missing and found photos is HOW LONG they were missing. Like where were they that whole time? Kidnapped?

3:25 When the filming of the movie was more dangerous than what the characters experienced in the Osha nightmare of a chocolate factory

Old movies didnt use asbestoes to simulate snow by default. They also used potato flakes.

Uhh... That first image. FMA is still one of my all time favorite shows ever

2:27 me and the boys ready to either become a person with cartoon physics or a vampire

10:50 About the aquarium, you should know that there was an elevator in the middle of that cylinder. It stood inside of a hotel complex and besides the dead fish there were no human casualties reported. Experts believed that a small crack was responsible for it to break

This is exactly where they film all the Zombie Apocalypse Movies 9:20

s-something about this 1st meme has me very upset ~FMA flashback remembering Nina~ never forget...

The tiny island with high-rise buildings is Malé, the capital of the Maldives.

1:48 Zeus be like “batter up”

I don't feel bad for Simon. He helped create the toxic entertainment industry like it is today, and ruined many lives

0:02 *edward…* *FULL METAL ALCHEMIST FLASHBACKS*

The first one is literally FMA

5:35 at that point, not really. This is why you cook meat.

These types of photos can make a SCP fan go nuts
