Seeking Knowledge
[ranking: 11]
From Redditor /u/AmericanHigh:
A guy I went to high school with was exceptionally smart, to the point he "knew everything" - except for what happens after [your life is over]. So, he....rowed out to the middle of the lake he lived off of, and jumped in.
The Woman Beneath The Wardrobe
[ranking: 3]
From Redditor /u/Dateleke:
My great-grandmother was found in her room with blood all over the walls/floor. The real creepy part was that she was found under a wardrobe that could barely fit a child, let alone a 97-year-old lady.
I think they ended up saying there was "no foul play involved" which freaked me out even more.
Flatlined Over A Flat Tire
[ranking: 20]
From a former Redditor:
A guy I played football with in high school went on a day trip to scout out a college. As he was driving home that night he got a flat in the middle of the country. He [was hit] as he tried to change his tire. They still don't know who ran him over.
Felled By The Hiccups
[ranking: 23]
From Redditor /u/humanefly:
I knew a doctor who was afflicted with a permanent case of the hiccups. She was dreadfully miserable. She couldn't complete a single sentence without being interrupted by multiple hiccups. I've never spoken with a person who sounded more miserable and patient than her. The constant hiccups were causing her to go blind somehow.
One day she went for an operation to get a brain pacemaker installed in an effort to control the hiccups. It didn't work out and I never heard from her again.
Success Cut Short
[ranking: 15]
From Redditor /u/CormacMcGill:
My friend's client had just completed a dependency program. So my friend congratulates him, talks to him about his upcoming plans, and [wishes] him a good weekend. When she comes back to work on Monday, everybody tells her the client [passed] when he was surprised by the rain, hid under the bridge, and was [felled] by lightning.
Be Careful Crossing This Bridge
[ranking: 7]
From Redditor /u/TenGuns:
My grandfather had his head [removed]. By a bridge. Walking home [inebriated], he passed out near a bridge that opens and closes for boats. I guess he fell asleep resting on some kind of pivot, and rolled when it started to move.
From what I am told, by the time he realized what was happening, it was to late.
