Most creepy/frightening news story

Deus Ex Machina · 05-09-2010 03:02PM #1

I think the ongoing case of the MI6 agent found dead in a sports bag in the bath of his London apartment has a very sinister feel to it. The fact that he was found in a padlocked bag two weeks after his death is creepy, as is the lack of any clear cause of death. The shortage of details at this stage is probably the reason why it creeps me out, allows my over active imagination to run loose.

What is the most frightening/creepy news story you've heard?

This would possibly be people jumping from the twin towers when the planes were about to crash into it.

No.
I think it all seems quite normal.

Rwanda and a teacher from a school explaining how she was sitting in class teaching kids and seen a group of men running through a field towards the school with machetes, burst in and hack the all children to death, bar one or two who survived.

It was on the BBC and they interviewed some of the surviving kids and even one of the men who did it, was very strange eerie.

Seen a cannibal tribe interviewed also where they laughed and joked about how they kill and eat rival tribe members when they catch them near their villages.

They're less likely to try and eat you if you act tough.

I remember that case about the spy,only recently. Seemed strange indeed.

Despite all the scaremongering sensationalist stories we have today, nothing comes close to the sheer horror of the post-nuclear holocaust scenarios we were presented with on a daily basis in the late 1970s and early 1980s, reinforced by dramas like Threads.

For a young kid like myself they were truly terrifying.

That's just not right....

"They discuss the murder calmly, expressing mild surprise that the victim was still breathing after a screwdriver was plunged into his exposed brain. The suspects then wash their hands and the hammer with a water bottle, and begin to laugh"

I heard a shocking story there last year, something along the lines of Katherine Lynch getting her own show on RTE. Made me sick to my stomach. Haven't been right since.

OMG agree with you about Threads, we were shown that in school and it really freaked me out, can still remember certain scenes quite vividly!

It's interesting that it hasn't been shown on TV for a long time - at least as far as I know.

I don't have kids, but if I did I wouldn't let them watch it.

The front page of a British newspaper in the '70s where they discuss the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. Another article on the same page had a photograph of a truck driver. Guess who he turned out to be?

ChunkyLover_53 · 05-09-2010 05:47PM

This story freaked me out years ago the dude impaled the donkey on a iron fench post through the eye IIRC

Before the Toy Show the news reader came on and said there was a u.f.o hovering over Dublin :O

then another time on the radio, they broke in with a serious report of 'unconfirmed reports of explosians at Sellafield'. Then just went on to say something like 'this is how the news would be broke if there was an explosion
