Blown To Bits
[ranking: 1]
From a former Redditor:
I used to work for a small company, we'll just call it Office A. Office A was in a competition with another office (B) that was also in the area. I was good friends with a coworker, who actually got me hired there, we'll call him Joe.
Joe was staying late one night working on a big project that he was excited about, and it was about 7:30 pm. I had a really long day, and decided to go home after being there with him. Essentially, he was the only one left in the building aside from security and custodians. The next day (Saturday) I got a ring from my boss. I expected him to call me in so that I could help finish the project or something like it. I let the phone ring out, and took a shower. When I got out, my phone was blowing up. I had around 50 new text messages from other coworkers, and missed calls.
I called my boss, and he informed me that Joe expired in the office, and that the police are investigating. The investigation was a very stressful process, and I was blatantly accused multiple times (I was the last one seen with Joe). Security later confirmed that Joe came down to the lobby for something after I had left the building, so it ruled me out.
The strange bit? He was completely [destroyed]. He wasn't even in the same room as his project. No signs of anyone else being in the office with him, either. The window in the room he [passed] in was also shattered.
They held a funeral for him, but there wasn't much left of him. His stepbrother had a meltdown later, and started yelling about these shadow men coming for him like they did Joe. To this day, I have no idea what happened. I had to quit my job soon after the incident. I couldn't stand that building anymore.
Found Completed Clawed
[ranking: 2]
From a former Redditor:
I have a cousin who was found clawed in his house. Long, sharp claws sliced him all...up and he [expired] on the floor, presumably crawling to his phone that was charging across the room.
They found no signs of a break in, no animal fur, and he lives nowhere near any place with wild animals. Remains a mystery to this day.
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.
A Government Agent Abuses His Power
[ranking: 4]
From Redditor /u/damnbish:
High school kids on a double date driving through a basic army post. They were stopped by an MP who cuffed the boys and drove everyone out to a remote training shack. He [slayed] the boys and [harmed] the girls. He [eliminated] them all and [put them] in shallow graves.
One girl [pretended] and after he left walked a couple of miles to find help. The guy was convicted, but there was another unsolved case of a high school couple missing with their abandoned car found on the base. First time I realized not to blindly trust a law enforcement officer.
A Deer In The Head
[ranking: 5]
From a former Redditor:
A friend's mom was [felled] by a deer. The car in front of them hit the deer; it flew over that car and through my friend's family's car. The antlers impaled the driver/mother.

A Victim Of Jack Frost
[ranking: 6]
From Redditor /u/NotoriousBIC:
I live in Canada and when we were kids we used to build these giant snowmen. We built this one that was a monster, over 8 feet tall. Anyway, due to a thaw/freeze cycle, the snowman turned to solid ice. My friend was [messing] with it (not sure what exactly he was doing) and the snowman fell on him.
Crushed him [and he did not survive]. Totally serious. We were in Grade 2.
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.

Captured On Film
[ranking: 9]
From Redditor /u/AceOfDrafts:
A guy who I had been friends with for a long time kinda went off the deep end with [illicit substances] (all of them), got in trouble with the law, got out on bail and then [ended his own life] soon after. I only recently found out what actually happened.
He was driving home with his best friend and sister in the car and got pulled over. He was extremely [inebriated], driving without a license, and had an unregistered [weapon] and [substances] in the car. So he got out of the car, stepped in front of the police car so he would be recorded by the dash cam, and [ended it all].

Found On The John
[ranking: 14]
From Redditor /u/kiky23:
My mom moved into an old house that had been converted into apartments after she and my dad divorced. The house was owned by a coworker and the only other tenant (who lived in the upstairs) also worked with them. During the summer it started to smell really bad and the guy upstairs hadn't shown up to work in a few days so [the] guy who owned the house called the police for a welfare check.
Turns out he had a heart attack while [using the bathroom] and had been sitting [there] for about four days. It also happened to be the one week in the summer when we'd stay with our mom.
