Surrounded by lovely, adorable, and caring people? Then you must give this a read. Let’s give you a reality check…
1. Jeffrey Dahmer
Have you ever thought of your polite and attractive neighbor being a cannibal? Jeffrey Dahmer seemed like a gentleman, but who could have known that this sweet young man hunted for young men, raped them, and then put them in jars filled with acids. He practiced cannibalism and would eat the flesh and organs of the victims. Police discovered human skulls and corpses in his refrigerator. Found guilty of 15 murders and totally sane, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and was murdered in the cell in 1994.
2. Gary M. Heidnik
Can you believe this sophisticated-looking man was a cruel rapist who would sexually abuse and torture the victim women in front of each other and sometimes together? He used to throw them into a pit filled with sharp objects at night and at day he kept them in his cellar. Gary fed his six victims dog foods and after a period, stored them in a freezer labeling them as dog food. He even cooked their heads and ribs.
3. Ted Bundy
Ted Bundy, a handsome man with an attractive personality, had killed almost 30 women and decapitated at least 12 of them for keeping the heads as mementos. He began hunting after breaking up with his girlfriend and the link between his victims was their resemblance to his ex-girlfriend. This inhuman psycho kept abusing the dead bodies until they started rotting. He used his charms for hunting victims and his charming attitude was the reason that his crimes stayed in the dark for a long time. This necrophilic killer, termed as A-level psychopath and a heartless evil, was executed at the age of 43.
4. Elizabeth Bathory
Who could have thought of this pretty lady as a serial killer? Elizabeth Bathory, a countess of the noble Bathory family in Hungary, was a notorious serial killer who had killed hundreds of girls and women. Her weird belief that her skin will remain young through bathing in virgins’ blood made her mutilate and torture the victims in a brutal way. She used to force the victims to eat their own flesh, stab them with needles and also burn their face parts. She never got executed due to her power and position.
5. Katherine Knight
This decent-looking family woman committed crimes beyond our imaginations. She had strangled her first husband and also killed her newborn baby. But that was just the beginning. On a fine evening, 29th February 2000, she stabbed her 2nd partner 37 times and not being satisfied with that much cruelty, she skinned the corpse, hung it from meat hooks and even cooked his decapitated head and flesh of his buttocks with vegetables. Dishes made of Price, her partner, were served nicely to their four children later on.
6. Father James Porter
Imagine a killer in the disguise of a saint! James Porter, a Roman Catholic priest, used to lure kids by offering cakes and had molested around 100 kids over a period of 30 years. In 1990, Frank Fitzpatrick claimed that Father Porter had molested him as a child and then the flow of over 200 people came into the picture accusing Father Porter of molesting them or their loved ones.
7. Leonarda Cianciulli
Leonarda, an Italian serial killer, gave the most horrific statement so naturally that you would feel nauseated and uneasy around her. She confessed of murdering three women in Correggio in between 1939-1940 as sacrifices for her son’s safety. She hunted for three middle-aged ladies and her first victim was converted into a cake. She described it like this, “I put the pieces into a pot adding 7 kilos of Caustic Soda and stirred the mixture until the pieces dissolved in a thick, dark mush that I poured into several buckets and emptied in a nearby septic tank. I waited until the blood in the basin had coagulated, then dried it in the oven, ground it and mixed it with flour, sugar, chocolate, milk and eggs, also a bit of margarine, kneading all the ingredients together. I made lots of crunchy tea cakes and served them to the ladies who came to visit, even Giuseppe and I ate them.”
About the final victim, she said, “She ended up in the pot like the other two. Her flesh was fat and white, when it had melted I added a bottle of cologne, and after a long time on the boil, I was able to make some most acceptable creamy soap. I gave those beautiful bars to neighbors and acquaintances. The cakes, too, were better: that woman was really sweet.”
This type of narration won’t let you sleep for a while.
