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’.
The kidnapping and murder
32-year-old Dorothy Jane Scott and her family became extremely worried when Dorothy started receiving anonymous phone calls from a man saying that he wanted to kill her. The calls were short, and his demeanor sometimes changed to instead being affectionate and professing his love for Dorothy. At one point, the man instructed Dorothy to go outside and look for a gift he had left for her by her car. Outside, Dorothy found a single dead rose laying on her car. Perhaps the most frightening call Dorothy ever received was one where the man told her that he wanted to dismember her into small pieces and that he would make sure no one would ever find her remains.
Dorothy left her home on the evening of 28th May 1980 for a meeting. She noticed that one of her co-workers had small red marks on his arm. Dorothy, a female co-worker, and the male co-worker decided to go to the ER after suspecting that he had been bitten by a spider. Dorothy drove her car to the hospital and waited with her female co-worker while the man was being treated by medical staff. After about two hours, the male co-worker was allowed to go home and Dorothy offered to drive her car up to the exit. She left her co-workers, and they waited for her outside. They saw her car driving up to them after a few minutes but suddenly sped off. They reported Dorothy missing after a couple of hours, and her burning car was found the next day, but Dorothy was nowhere to be found.
Dorothy’s parents started receiving phone calls shortly after she disappeared from an unknown man claiming he had killed her. The police concluded that the caller was most likely Dorothy’s killer.
The disappearance and probable kidnapping of Dorothy remained a mystery for four years until her remains were found beside Santa Ana Canyon Road. Dental records confirmed the remains as being Dorothy, but a cause of death could not be established because of the decomposition.
Aftermath
On June 12th, 1980, almost a month after Dorothy disappeared, an unknown man called the front desk of Orange County Register. The newspaper had published an article regarding Dorothy’s disappearance the previous day, and the man claimed to be Dorothy’s kidnapper and killer. He said that he had caught Dorothy cheating on him with another man and therefore decided to kill her. The man also gave some interesting details about what Dorothy had been wearing when she went missing, which had not been exposed to the media. The police believe that the man was the murderer, but they have never been able to trace him. The murder of Dorothy Jane Scott remains unsolved.

Sick Trick
For Josefina Rivera, November 26, 1986 was a night that she will never forget. Angry after a fight with her boyfriend, she left their apartment in a slum area north of Philadelphia to go to work. For Josefina, work consisted of walking the streets in search of a willing ‘john’ who would be prepared to pay for her sexual favours, which usually consisted of a brief liaison in the back of a car or a sleazy motel room. All she needed was a few quick tricks so she could buy Thanksgiving dinner for her family.

Anger caused by trauma is a special kind of anger. So angry you can taste it. Anger filling your eyes, ears, mouth. Angry at people who didn't have anything to do with your trauma. Just. So. Angry.
Great documentary about the crimes of John Ackroyd :
Beginning in the late 1970s, a sinister presence cast a shadow over an isolated part of central Oregon. It lurked in the background, ignored or unnoticed. Women, often vulnerable or marginalized, were disappearing.These are the stories of the ghosts of Highway 20. English subtitles are available too!
