3. There was a dead baby hidden in her bag

“Not necessarily paranormal, but this was something that both creeped me out quite thoroughly and chilled my blood to ice water. I was working at a crematory/funeral home at the time. I’d just picked up the body of a girl my age from the county coroner’s office and was going through the check in procedure (which consisted of lots of paperwork, fingerprints, documentation of belongings, etc). Now when a body comes to us from the coroner, it’s typically an unexpected death that occurred under questionable circumstances. This particular one, I could tell by simply looking at her, was a drug overdose. She had very obvious injection sites in her arms, thigh, one on her foot, and what appeared to be needle marks all over her lower abdomen. Like… It looked like this chick went to fucking town stabbing herself in the belly. This was strange to me, because I know that isn’t a typical place to inject drugs (especially because this girl was a bit on the large side), nor is it usually a place where the pathologist will draw fluids in a case like this.

Anyway, I shrugged it off and began to document her personal items, which come to us zipped up in the body bag in a black trash bag. Usually the coroner’s office provides a detailed list of belongings for liability reasons, this case came with no such list, so it surprised me to see that she did indeed have a property bag with her, tucked under a leg. I tore the bag open and out flopped a fully developed, completely green, dead baby, with a very smushed head. You can imagine my shock; opening the bag, expecting to find shoes, clothes, maybe a wallet, and instead a tiny human plopping out. Long story short(ened), the family did not know, and telling them was horrifying in and of itself. There was absolutely NO sort of documentation on this fully developed human, and the coroner was just as shocked as we were. Some jackass autopsy tech had just stuffed the baby in a bag in hopes of us not finding it and cremating it to save themselves some time on paperwork and dealing with an (already) distraught family. An autopsy was done on the baby, family and friends were questioned, the whole nine yards. Later a friend of the deceased disclosed that she was the only one who the girl had told about being pregnant… And her plans to try and give herself a late stage abortion by injecting heroin straight into her womb.

Pretty fucked. Needless to say, I was always hesitant when opening property bags in fear of finding another dead, green infant as opposed to a pair of nikes.” — BroffaloSoldier

4. I saw a man get shot directly in the face

“I saw a man get shot pretty much point blank in the face in early 2000s. I was in a bar in Moscow waiting for a friend chatting with the bartender, I hear a commotion next to me as I see a guy take a step back whip out a gun point at a guys face and pull a trigger. The guy just slummed and hit the floor and that’s when I saw blood. Immediate ringing in the ears, screams and folks froze as we thought this guy will continue shooting. Turns out, the guy was in the police force and shot this guy as he was part of some sort of a gang who have murdered another cop from his station.” — PistolEnvy

5. My cousin was kidnapped and thrown in the basement

“My cousin use to be a divorce lawyer in Arkansas. He was representing the wife. Husband was abusive and kinda crazy. Well, husband starting believing wife was with my cousin. So he kidnapped my cousin. Tied him up and put him in the basement. Beat him and dripped Acid on him for 3 fucking days. On the 3rd day husband said he would go get wife, make her watch cousin die then kill wife. So husband left, cousin somewhat untied himself. Got out of the house and rolled down the street until someone picked him up. The couple that found him were scared and dumped him into a Walmart parking lot and called 911.” — KayeChan
