REAL LIFE HORROR STORIES THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRINGE

  • Mr. Kennedy, daddy to JFK, didn't much appreciate his daughter Rosemary and her strong-willed, rebellious ways, not to mention her lower IQ. What did he do? He took her to the doctor, without tell her mother and had a lobotomy preformed on young woman. The 23-year-old Rosemary lost control of her bowel movements, was stuck in the mental state of a two-year-old and spent the rest of her days in an institution. The doctor who invented the procedure received a Nobel Prize for the lobotomy which was used on people for 30 more years.
  • Bela Kiss, an attractive Hungarian man whose wife cheated on him ended up alone after she and her lover ran off to California; or so the story went. Kiss was quite the lady's man and was known to date many women. Kiss went off to war and was believed dead when his landlord went to clean up his place so that he may rent it to another tenant. The landlord found numerous barrels packed with some kind of pickling fluid and bodies. Authorities found over 70 letters from women and over 20 barrels stuffed with women's bodies, with the exception of one barrel that held a man. Story tellers say one woman and the man were Kiss' wife and her lover. Kiss, who was once in a military hospital where only a middle finger was discovered, was never found.
  • Real life Freddy Krueger style scalping wasn't just something in scary movies or even in old westerns, it was a real thing. Some people were known to live through a scalping. In 1890 Robert McGee watched his parents die along the Sante Fe Trail, the 14-year-old boy wandered the land until joining a wagon train. The Sioux Indians attacked one day and everyone was killed, but the boy who suffered a gunshot wound and lived through a scalping. McGee was saved by an Army Patrol and became a hero. Life was a different story for Josiah Wilbarger who was paralyzed by a bullet and was scalped for fun as he lay twitching from his injuries. He dragged himself for two full days. By the time he was found maggots had set up camp in his head to eat the rotting flesh. His scalp never healed and eventually the bone wasted away, exposing his brain. Wilbarger fell into a coma and died 11 years later.
