25 Frightened People Leak Their Hometown Horror Story

13. My old friend decapitated his girlfriend

“This guy I used to be sort of friends with in high school decapitated his girlfriend, cut out her uterus, ate the uterus, and wrapped her head in a plastic bag and put it in the lagoon near my house. He did it to bring about the apocalypse. Or at least, that was his reasoning.

Then afterwards when he was in jail awaiting trial he tried to act like he was insane saying the sheriff was his dad and was writing him letters like “hey, dad. when do i get out?”

I remember right around the time of his trial I was in the transport van going back to jail [I was there for possession of lortab — clean for years now] and he was asking about the rehab I was being sent to because he was there when they read out my sentence.

It was CREEPY AS FUCK having him striking up a conversation like it was nothing. Yeesh… thank god I’m a girl and they had him shackled the fuck up and away from pretty much everyone. Especially the women.” — ClapYoTits

14. He burnt his entire family

“Guy brought his wife and two children to where he worked, a foundry. He went to show them a smelting chamber, then locked them in, and turned it on.” — I_hate_alot_a_lot

15. The Yorkshire ripper killed in my town

“The most famous is probably The Yorkshire Ripper aka Peter Sutcliffe. He didn’t just kill in my hometown but the surrounding towns too.

Incidentally, my mum’s maiden name is Sutcliffe and her dad (my grandad) was a lorry driver at the time, just like The Ripper. She spent a fair few months being ostracized/whispered about around school because her classmates were convinced my grandad was him, even though he was seen around town and clearly was not in police custody.” — Kennerzz
