I'm going with that guy who was found alive in a sunken tugboat three days after it flipped over. Talk about a survival story that’s straight out of a movie.
Omayra Sanchez’s picture from Colombia after a volcano eruption is haunting. She was trapped and knew she was dying, but still had these dark eyes that say so much. The slow rescue response made this even worse, and her story still haunts people today.
There's a 450-mile highway in British Columbia where over 40 women vanished over the last 48 years. Mostly Aboriginal women hitchhiking. People think a serial killer (or a few) use how empty the road is to their advantage. One missing woman, Amber Tuccaro, was on the phone when she got picked up — and you can actually hear her unsettled voice in a recording that's been shared to catch the creep. It's creepier than a horror movie.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if found footage is the real spooky stuff or just Hollywood having fun. This horror style started small but got huge, making us feel like we're right there with the creepy characters. It's basically like watching someone else's nightmare unfold through their own shaky cam and panicked voices.
A German family renting a minivan tried to cross an American desert, way off-road. They got stuck and then went searching for help — but vanished. The van was found, sparking a huge search. The real jaw-dropper? Years later, a determined guy looked *where nobody else did* and finally found their bodies. Mystery solved in the least expected spot.
Tragic yet heartwarming — families got their hands on the last photos their parents took on holiday before the tsunami hit in 2004. You can almost see them holding on to normal life before everything changed.
Ever listened to a black box from a plane crash? The pilots’ voice going from calm to knowing doom is one of the creepiest things you'll ever hear. It’s a real-life horror story with no happy ending.
Remember The Blair Witch Project? Yeah, that film made this whole 'found footage' thing explode by pretending it was an actual documentary! Later movies like Paranormal Activity kept riding the shaky cam wave to freak us out.
In the 90s, people heard the haunting audio of the USS SCORPION sinking after an equipment meltdown — every crew member lost. The sounds are eerie, and knowing it’s the last thing they experienced? Next level haunting.
Three girls snapped a selfie by railroad tracks, not seeing the train coming up behind them. The train lights are just barely in the pic — and moments later, it’s tragedy. Talk about a selfie nightmare.
Remember Chris McCandless? The guy who lived wild in a bus before his tragic end? Those photos from his time in the wilderness always gave me serious chills. (Late-night warning: maybe don’t look at these before bed.)
Scientists even got curious and dug through a bunch of user-made videos trying to spot the fake from the real. Turns out, real clips get a lot more quick reactions, while fake ones slowly bubble up over time as people keep sharing them. Moral of the story? Don’t believe everything you see on the internet without a second look!
There’s a video of an entire Indian family trying to take a selfie near a dam, only to be swept away by rising water. Watching that, you can feel the panic—and then it’s over in a flash.
Yuri Lipski died over 300 feet underwater and, chillingly, his helmet cam caught everything. Narcosis from the pressure messes with your brain big time—hallucinations, confusion, you name it. This wasn’t just any dive, it was his last scary, blurry ride.
Valentich was flying off Australia when he started reporting a mysterious aircraft behaving super weird—hovering, moving strangely, not like any plane. His last words? The thing wasn’t an aircraft at all. His plane later crashed mysterious-like, and the wreckage was found on beaches. Spooky stuff.
This guy loved bears and filmed himself hanging out with grizzlies in Alaska. Well, things went south fast. There’s audio of the scary moment when the bears attacked him. If you want to learn more, the documentary 'Grizzly Man' covers his story (minus the audio).
Dutch hikers went missing in Panama and left behind some pretty unsettling photos. They were likely using their cameras as flashlights or trying to signal for help, but the vibe? Totally creepy and mysterious, adding another layer to their disappearance.
One clip that really messes with people is about a girl attacked by bears. No sugarcoating here—it's brutal and sad. It’s probably not the fun topic you were expecting, but it’s real and many people found it unforgettable.
My friend snapped a pic hugging her dog—just hours before the dog mauled her face badly. Finding that photo on my phone the next day was like a horror movie plot twist, except it actually happened.
A creepy black-and-white video showing what looked like a dead person was found in a field. Turns out it was from Nine Inch Nails’ music video shoot—a helium balloon camera gone rogue. So, no ghosts, just some seriously eerie band footage.
This one’s bleak: a video shows unarmed men floating in water, being shot by what looks like a ship's crew. The killers are heard laughing and even snapping selfies right after. Witnesses didn’t report it and the mystery still remains.
A teenager who set fires had some tapes recovered showing his arson antics. At the end, he even pretends to be a vampire—yes, really. It’s as creepy as it sounds.
After a family found a tape wrapped up on a highway, investigators played it on TV. The chilling voice talks to someone named Omar about a deadly fire with an ‘ancient spirit of evil’ whispering in the background. Gave everyone the creeps and sparked loads of calls with tips.
There’s this video of a honeymoon couple messing around in waist-high water. Out of nowhere, the ground gives way, and you see them struggling, then nothing but calm water. Definitely a ‘what did we just watch’ moment.
A man died after getting lost deep under Paris in the catacombs. They found his last hours captured on video where he desperately tried to find an exit. It’s seriously unsettling stuff.
