Wasn't there also a goon who killed and raped (In that order) a little girl who lived next door to him? Goons are hosed up.

I don't think he was a goon, he just played some lovely browser MMO that goons also played, and some kind of knew him.Fragrag posted:Goon murderers? Well, there was Bomber1666. I remember the thread shortly after I registered and I remember several goons coming out the woodwork who were somehow related to the victims. Ooh, I remember that thread.

I'd say Byron Smith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_David_Smith_killings He parked his car behind his house and hid in the basement so that people would think no one was in, then he waited and he made a recording of the event when two teenagers broke in, and then he shot them. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/hear-graphic-audio-catches-moment-byron-smith-guns-teens-article-1.1776145

Not Wikipedia, but a post from these very forums in the Healthcare thread. I think it fits this one as well. Insanely story about what happens if you fall and can't get up...and no one finds you for a while.elise the great posted:I've been putting this story off for a while. First off, I promised everybody ~gross pictures~ and this post does not contain gross pictures. Besides, after the poo poo that I'm about to tell you guys, it's hard to get excited about a blurry phone shot of a cholecystectomy with abscess.

From my experience (I've lived in Adelaide all my life, and known of this story for about 6 years) nobody in Adelaide has ever heard about this. And it's fascinating. It makes me wonder if there are other towns around the world which may have an incredible story attached to them that the residents just don't acknowledge.

I found the story of the family living isolated in the Russian taiga for decades again, which I loved. It was posted in the old thread but I'll post it again in case anyone hasn't read it: http://allkindsofhistory.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/lost-in-the-taiga/ A team of geologists discovers a family of six living in complete isolation after having retreated into the Siberian mountains from Peter the Great's religious persecution. The youngest children had never seen another human face and spoke to each other in their own dialect. quote:The silence was suddenly broken by sobs and lamentations. Only then did we see the silhouettes of two women. One was in hysterics, praying: ‘This is for our sins, our sins.’ The other, keeping behind a post… sank slowly to the floor. The light from the little window fell on her wide, terrified eyes, and we realized we had to get out of there as quickly as possible.

I forget when I subscribed, but Tats does various lists. Namely, creepy stories and the like. Here's a classic one, non-gaming creepypastas. It includes goon favorite Slenderman, and some honestly creepy stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjCHTSMGuY

You must knock around in a parallel dimension, because in my experience it's pretty well-known among Adelaide folk. But nowhere near as well-known as DUN-DUN-DUNNNNN the Beaumont children (who were coincidentally taken from somewhere very near the Taman Shud guy): quote:[the Beaumont children] were three siblings who disappeared from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia on Australia Day (26 January) 1966. No trace was ever found of the Beaumonts. The chief suspect is Bevan Spencer von Einem, who was arrested for another murder in the early 1980s, as well as being a "suspected serial killer" (according to Wiki's wording). This is where it gets especially creepy and weird: quote:One of the witnesses, regarded as highly credible by police, related a conversation in which von Einem boasted of having taken three children from a beach several years earlier, and said he had taken them home to conduct experiments. He said he had performed surgery on each of them, and had "connected them together". One of the children had died during the procedure and so he had killed the other two and dumped all the bodies in bushland south of Adelaide.

I love lost gold mines. Ever since I was a kid I thought they were cool: http://offbeatoregon.com/1207b-crater-lake-discovered-by-legendary-gold-mine-seekers.html If anyone is looking for a good book on the subject check out "Dig Here!" which despite being published by a super sketchy publisher that also publishes UFO books is an extremely well researched look at the various lost mines of the South West. The title is mislead though, the book should really be called "and it probably never existed" since thats the general summary of a good 75% of all the mines.

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:You posted in the other thread about the dude who was obsessed with you, right? You should retell that story, it was p unnerving. Yeah. It's a short story, but definitely not something I ever thought I'd be dealing with. Dude was in my social circle, although I didn't know him very well. He was in a fraternity that I had a mixer with. He messaged me on FB and after some casual conversation asked for my number, saying that he needed someone to talk to and that I seemed like I could help him. I gave it to him and he texted me a fair bit after that. I had assumed he was gay, actually, so when he started inviting me over to his apartment to drink wine and "let the words flow like water," I got a little skeeved out and told him I wasn't interested in anything but being friends. Then things started to escalate, and he would send me weird, vague messages, and call me asking to meet with him. He kept saying that he just needed to tell me "one thing and it will all be over." I never met with him. This was during this tense period where the police kept finding mutilated cat corpses around campus, being displayed in more elaborate ways. One was strung up on a flag pole in the middle of campus. A few days after Halloween I got out of class and had like 40 messages from friends who had heard before me that the guy had been arrested as the suspect. I'm really, really glad that I never met with him alone. I had been posting on Facebook about the cat killings, like everyone else, because I love cats and am involved with some humane society stuff. He liked a few of the pictures I posted of my own cat. So there's not much to the story. A guy who seemed normal if a little troubled messaged me wanting to meet up and confess something, turns out to have been mutilating cats.That's the last I heard of him. It still really bothers me that he has my phone number and knows a lot of information about me just from being Facebook friends. edit: went back through my old text messages and found this. I couldn't remember the exact words he used, but this is the message that still makes me shiver every now and then. really glad I never went to speak with him in person.

It reminds me of something 50 Foot Ant once posted about a little girl who was brought to a hospital and found to be literally rotting from the inside out.

For one, she's proven she's a real nurse in that thread, and for two, you do realize that story fully complies with the law, right? You can't identify your patients or give away details that make it easy to, but recounting a story while abiding by those guidelines doesn't seem very bad to me. It's a coping mechanism for the most part, I'm pretty sure. I'd certainly feel the need to vent if I was her, reading that thread a few weeks ago made me realize just how much poo poo nurses put up with in both senses of the word. A bloo bloo somebody told a story in which the patients are for all intents and purposes completely anonymous to anyone who reads them, who cares?

I just read about the Ruby Ridge siege, that poo poo was a Kafkaesque series of hideous escalations. A man suspected of selling an illegal shotgun was erroneously told to appear on court on March 20, when his scheduled court date was February 20. One thing led to another, and armed commandos killed the man's wife, son, and dog.

Ant chat and no one's mentioned cordyceps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordyceps quote:Some current and former Cordyceps species are able to affect the behaviour of their insect host: Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (formerly Cordyceps unilateralis) causes ants to climb a plant and attach there before they die. This ensures the parasite's environment is at an optimal temperature and humidity, and that maximal distribution of the spores from the fruiting body that sprouts out of the dead insect is achieved.[4] Marks have been found on fossilised leaves that suggest this ability to modify the host's behaviour evolved more than 48 million years ago.
