Devil’s fingers - this must be the creepiest mushroom ever. It looks like a zombie hand reaching out to grab someone. It’s made to look even more realistic by the the presence of the what appears to be tattered sleeve at its ‘wrist’.

A strange fungus called devil’s tooth (Hydnellum peckii) excretes a red “juice” that’s sure to catch your eye—but don’t worry, it’s not blood! When the devil’s tooth is moist, it oozes droplets of the liquid. But this only happens when the fungus is young—as it grows, it turns brownish and stops secreting the jarring red juice. Believe it or not, this “bleeding” mushroom is not toxic! It is, however, mycorrhizal. This means it has a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a plant (in this case, coniferous trees), helping to provide nutrients while deriving carbohydrates produced from photosynthesis.

This photo allegedly shows an entity standing on the body of a dying patient in a hospital. The photo was taken from a nurse station, where there were security cameras in the rooms. The photo began circulating the web around 2013, and many forums and websites labeled the figure as demonic, when the op labeled it as just a dark figure. Apparently hours after the photo was taken the patient died, some have speculated that the figure is a demon, a warning of the particular patient’s death or even the patient themself.
On 8th November 1974, 18-year-old Carol DaRonch had been out shopping at the Fashion Palace Mall in Murray, Utah. She was in a bookshop when a man who said he was a police officer, showed her a police officer's badge and told her that there had been an attempted theft of her car. Carol felt suspicious, particularly since she had heard about a recent string of abductions and murders in the area, but reassured by the badge and followed the man to his Volkswagen Bug and got into the car. She did not realise at the time that the man was Ted Bundy.
Bundy suggested Carol put her seatbelt on but she declined. She felt suspicious that the man smelt of alcohol and noticed the passenger side draw didn't have an easily accessible handle. As the car drove away, things took a terrifying turn. Carol recalls she began to panic when he suddenly pulled over and attempted to handcuff her but only managed to handcuff one wrist. Despite Bundy threatening her with a gun, Carol was able to fight off Bundy and escape from the car. Bundy fought with Carol at the side of the road and attempted to hit her with a crowbar. Carol fought for her life and luckily got away. When a car approached them from the opposite direction Carol jumped in with the handcuffs still dangling from her wrist.
That same day, around four hours later, Bundy abducted and murdered 17-year-old Debra Kent.
Carol was one of the few survivors to live to tell a victim's account of Ted Bundy. She testified against him in court. She has since earned a degree in business management and lives with her partner in Utah, the same area she was living in with her parents when Bundy first approached her.
