These scary facts are important for paranormal fans and regular history buffs, regardless of whether you love the paranormal. Some of the topics covered are Arrhythmic death syndrome, Cryonics, Sleepwalking defense, and Hauntings. Although some of these may be spooky, others can be considered interesting.
Arrhythmic deaths syndrome
Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (or SADS) is a condition where the heart stops beating abruptly. This is an indication of an underlying condition in the heart that can affect the electrical system. Sudden cardiac death is a condition in which people feel confused and concerned about their own health.
Cryonics
Cryonics, or the preservation of a human body after its death, is a concept. It is a controversial issue currently being debated in America. Cryopreserved bodies are stored in freezers. More than 100 people have been cryopreserved since 1967. Many others have also made arrangements to freeze their bodies. Most do so via life insurance. Alcor is the world's largest cryonics group. This group is noted for its advanced technology and medical approach to cryonics.
Hauntings from the 1860s
Ghostly sightings in the 1860s weren't a new phenomenon. Many people from that era claimed to have seen ghostly characters, including a Union soldier as well as a pair of little girls. Some people even claimed that the ghosts were cholera victims. Others described hearing drum cadence.
Sleepwalking defense
Since 1846, the sleepwalking defense has been used to defend criminal charges. It has been known as the "Twinkie", a controversial defense. Despite the controversy surrounding sleepwalking, it has been successfully used in court. Albert Tirrell was actually the first to use this defense.
Headless chicken
The Headless Chicken, also known as Miracle Mike, is a real historical phenomenon. It was born 18 months after its death in April 1945. Today is Mike the Headless Chicken Day.
Transfusion of blood
The history of blood transfusions is quite frightening. Before the 1990s clinical trials were not conducted on blood and other transfusion products. Therefore, blood was given to patients who were more at risk than they were benefit. Transfusions are associated with poor outcomes, longer hospital stays and higher risk of some post-operative infections. Also, transfusions were associated with patients being placed in intensive-care units and ventilated more often after they had received blood.
FAQ
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is filled secret societies. There are secret societies that are more cult-like than others. They have members who follow specific rules and rituals. While some are clubs for those with similar interests, others are not.
There are also other, more evil organizations that control large parts of the industry. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. Many of the major TV networks and movie studios are owned or controlled by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
These people tell us what movies and songs will succeed, and which books will sell best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate judges of taste.
You are free to ignore their messages if that bothers you.
Now let's take a look at some lesser-known yet very real Hollywood secret society.
You can see why they are so vital.
What is your most secretive community?
The answer to that question may shock you. This may make you feel uncomfortable as it challenges your perception of reality and the way we live. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. It is also called Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
A small town in western New York State, with a population of 1,200, vanished without a trace. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others believe that aliens took it.
The people of this once-thriving community, however, are positive that the town won't disappear forever. They had just relocated to another town.
There is even a website dedicated to tracking the disappearance of the lost city of Zugspitz.
So where is this town? It's actually in Switzerland!
Zugspitze is situated on the border between Germany und Austria. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why does some vanish while others remain? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to learn more about mysteriously disappearing towns. What causes a town to disappear? What makes a place disappear?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory holds that a town disappears if all its buildings are demolished. Another theory is that the town moves to another place. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
What is the most mysterious location on Earth?
Antarctica is considered the most mysterious area on Earth.
What is it that makes this place so interesting? Because it is unlike any other spot on Earth.
It is difficult to access because it is remote and extremely isolated. However, there's more to this location than meets the eye.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
No one knows exactly why Antarctica was named Antarctica. Some say it means "land on ice." Others believe it comes out of Greek mythology.
Antarktis in ancient Greece was the name given the island where Zeus' twin brother brothers were born. According to some legends, one of these twins was born in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would mean land turned away from the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has held a special fascination for people, it is undeniable.
It is the coldest, windiest, driest and highest continent. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
Yet, life is abundant in this frozen wilderness.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
What is it that makes Antarctica so unique? Here, water freezes into ice instead of evaporating into the air.
This causes large masses to form of ice which float high above the ground.
These floating glaciers cover over 80%. And they're growing larger every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. This could lead worldwide flooding.
Not everyone believes this is bad news. Some scientists claim that global warming could be good for us. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
According to the United Nations, the average person produces over 2.5 pounds of daily waste.That adds up to over 25 billion pounds of garbage per year!
Most of this rubbish ends up in landfills or incinerators. But, what happens when those dumpsters fill up? Most of that trash is shipped out of the country. The rest is dumped abroad, where it pollutes other ecosystems. Now, we know the exact location of all this garbage. Mike Sexton is his full name. He owns a company called Waste Watchers. He spends his time watching trucks hauling trash around North America. Then he reports back to us about what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN interviewed Sexton and said that he has a lot of fun. "We often see large rigs passing through our town and we will follow them. "Sexton began to follow truck drivers around 20 years ago.
He stated, "I just fell in Love with It."
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton remembered, "The man was looking for somewhere to put the load." "He drove along the road and saw this structure. He stopped and pulled up, then he went inside. "There were two enormous roll-off containers filled with stuff. The guy took everything out and started filling up the truck again. "Then, he took everything out and started filling up the truck again. There were lots of old tires, rags furniture, mattresses, mattresses, cans, cans, and other items. "It was just total chaos. It had been cleaned up before he arrived. There was not a single piece of trash.
This begs the question: Why? Well, the answer is that this particular location used to be part of a recycling center.People who learned about this facility would drive here to recycle their trash. Sexton explained that they would bring household items and take them to the building. Then, after they were done, they would empty the containers.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The owner eventually decides to dump the truck.
But, this isn't the only problem that our planet is facing.
The majority of these particles are made of small pieces of plastic. Some end up in rivers and oceans, while others end up in fish's stomachs.
Experts warn that the world may soon face a shortage of food if we don't make any changes. One expert said, "If we keep going as we are going, we're never going to make it," but most people don’t seem concerned.
