Morbid fascination

Milky Moo

Does everyone have one?mine is serial killers I'll watch any pseudo-documentary about them and read any book profiling them...I think it comes from the fact I think people are inherently good and they go against this in the most extreme manner.

So what's yours?

I call it my "morbid curiousity" but yeah, I watch stuff and read stuff like that too.

Well yeah, it's a sort of reserve....in that instead of something coming out, it's...going the other away. And its a jar, not a cup. And instead of 2 hot girls, it's a hairy man.

But yeah other then that pretty much the same thing.

The last time someone said that to me I was driven to find out what the pain olympics was :eek:

I have a morbid fascination with reading about Germany during WWII and currently Auschwitz.

I was in a hotel the other night and forgot to put it away and when I returned the book had a page with a tear in it. I think the cleaners are Polish.

Ooopps :rolleyes:

I like anything that involves death of large amounts of people in one place. eg 9/11, Jonestown, Columbine, Virginia Tech etc.

I once spent a few hours reading about the Nazi and Japanese Human Experimentation Camps on Wiki. Plus, my friend was doing their LC History project on the scientists/doctors of that time. So, yeah... it was pretty morbid..

Man-eating animals, especially crocodiles. Totally freaks me out, but I always end up watching programmes about them if they're on TV.

seriously, why would you put a jam jar where a jam jar don't fit.. and then have it break.!

edit: tone a bit low for this early..

Methods used to kill people and evaluating them in terms of efficiency, preparation needed, time taken etc

Milky Moo

Drug such as heroin etc also spikes my interest.
I don't know why but the lifestyle surrounding it seems so lonely and horrid. I can understand why people can be driven to it but I just wonder what they tell themselves when they first use,it's just this one time,I can handle it etc.
With something like over 90% chance of never getting off the stuff you'd have to be telling yourself some damn convincing lies to think it won't suck you in.

I'm also facinated by David Vetter (the Boy in the Bubble). First learned of him thru a song by Paul Simon and after much research have developed a strange sort of empathy to the kid. What a strange life to have to live!

..almost went to school for "mortuary sciences" but it fell through.
Looking back now; that could have ended badly.

Since I first heard the rumours that American intelligence were involved in the video executions in Iraq, I started looking up the infamous beheadings online. Apparently in 2 of the videos, the 'terrorist' read out a statement in Islam, but didnt have the correct accent..I made the mistake of watching on as they beheaded the hostage. I couldne sleep right for a week affer seeing the execution of Eugene Armstrong, the American hostage taken in Iraq. I also saw the video of the execution of Russian soldiers in Chechnya, that had been removed from youtube, but is still on live feed which is particularly dreadful...

Two wrongs don't make a right. They should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done.

Love anything bout serial killers,find myself watching documentries and correcting them if they get things wrong.Seriously some great books ive got out of the 2 euro shop.Also Crime Library great website tells you all the gory details.:D

Milky Moo

For me the fascination comes more from the why they do it not the how,for some reason I always see serial killers as a more american phenomenon,probably because they have the most documented occurences of them..

wylo

War victims is my one, Ive looked at some pretty horrible stuff on the net, but its also the whole psychology of it that gets me, i.e. what goes through a soldiers mind when theyve blown someone apart.

The boy in the bubble...i used to be fascinated by this and read anything I could find about him..

Anything about concentration camps too.

And Ill watch anything about prisoners "gone mental" or whatever those extra channels have on offer during the day

Love all films to do with murders, serial-killers. Love CSI. Actually, I got to spend the day in a morgue recently, watching autopsies. Was absolutely fascinating! I got to hold a brain!! And have my hands inside a chest cavity. I'm a student nurse, but if that doesn't work out, pathological technician is definitely something I will look into

A friend of mine recently helped in an embalming, had to take a few organs which were in a plastic bag out of the body to find the artery to plug in the pipe.He said the body then looked like a large sheep carcas you'd see hanging up in a butchers. Apparently it's a different pressure for the head so the eyes don't get blown out.
