What Scares You?
Most of us know the story of Lizzie Borden (if you don’t, you can check it out here). What most people don’t know, is that there were other people who had motive to kill Andrew and Abby Borden.

When you think of Canada, you think of kind helpful, generous, hard working people. The sort of people who would gladly give you the shirt off their back if you were cold, give you their last piece of bread if you were hungry, and welcome you inside. It’s hard to imagine that Canada is also home to Willie Pickton, one of the most vile serial killers ever known.

How many times do you see a troop of girl scouts standing outside of the grocery store, selling those delicious cookies to raise money for camp? Have you ever wondered what happens at camp? Well, here’s a story that has only happened once, and hopefully never again.

The year is 1600, and your parents have sent you to stay with a beautiful countess in her castle. The countess was going to teach you all of the things that would make you a perfect lady, but that’s what she told your family. Once you were in her custody, the nightmare began. She cut her girls and drank their blood. Sometimes she would kill them, and fill a bath with their blood to bathe in. Your turn was coming up. She is Elizabeth Bathory.

Imagine this. You just bought a new home for your family. The price was unbelievable, but real, and you quickly move in. But things are not all rainbows and unicorns. You start seeing and hearing things. The air suddenly smells strange, and when a priest comes over, a voice shouts, “Get out!” Less than four weeks later, you have no choice but to abandon your new home, and all your possessions, never to return again. The story of the Amityville House is one many of us have heard. We’ve seen the movies, read the books, discussed the likelihood of whether it’s real or not. One thing we can say for certain, is that the house the Lutz family moved into, did not come without its own history.

As parents, you want to empower your children. You want to teach them independence, and a good way to start is letting them walk to school, without a parent or chaperone. But what happens when it all backfires, and your child never makes it to school? On October 5, 2012, 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway never made it to school.

Having a stalker can be a scary thing. They seem to know your every move, yet you have no idea who they are, and in most cases, what they want. That was the case for 32 year old Dorothy Jane Scott.
You’ve been traveling all day, and you and your horses are both tired. Luckily, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina, there is a Wayfarer House, a rest stop where you could take a rest, and even spend the night. The hosts are quite friendly, striking up conversation, asking about you and your life. Before bed, the hostess gives you a cup of tea. Little did you know, it was poisoned. Your body was taken to the cellar and buried, unceremoniously, alongside their other victims. You have just met Lavinia Fisher.

Imagine this. A serial killer is on the loose killing girls from the college you attend. The school and police both request that you walk in groups, and never accept a ride from anyone you don’t know – unless they have a University sticker on their car. You and a friend start walking toward home when a car pulls up and the driver offers you a ride. The car has a University sticker on it, so you both go ahead and get in. Unfortunately, you just got into the car with Ed Kemper, the Co-ed Killer.
What is the strangest thing you’ve kept in your freezer? For me, it was a pair of pajama pants. But I think Peter Frederiksen takes the cake when it comes to weird. After all, he had 21 clitorides (or clitorises) in his freezer.
