Photos that look normal but contain scary stories

These photos look very normal, but few people know that hidden inside are scary and creepy stories, they can be historical events, massacres or the last moments of a person's life...

1. Is this a photo taken in a dormitory? Actually, these people belong to the Heavens Gate cult, founded in 1974 in the United States. The leader of this cult convinced his followers that the world was coming to an end. To be taken on a spaceship, they needed to commit suicide. And these people took their own lives.

2. This is the last happy photo of the father and son. Just minutes after the photo was taken, the red car next to them exploded due to a bomb planted by an extremist organization of the Irish Republican Party. The explosion killed 29 people.

3. The picture is not a pile of trash but a pile of corpses stacked next to each other. Jim Jones, the leader of an extremist sect, launched a mass suicide campaign in Jonestown, Guayana (a republic in South America). The result was a horrifying scene that haunted many people.

4. This is not a normal diving photo, while the man in the front is posing for a photo, the man behind is unconscious. Luckily another diver saw and came to help, otherwise it could have led to unfortunate consequences.

5. The photo shows a beach with nothing special, with a few people having fun. But after this photo was taken, a tsunami came and swept away everything, including the person who took the photo.

6. This hilarious photo of American brothers Michael and Sean McQuilken was taken by their sister at Sequoia National Park in California on August 20, 1975. Seconds later, all three were struck by lightning. They all survived, but Sean suffered severe burns and committed suicide in 1989. This photo became famous for a time, used to warn people about the dangers of lightning.

7. Looking at this photo, many people think that the two babies in the photo are sisters, but the truth is much more cruel.

Lina Medina, a Peruvian girl born on September 23, 1933, was only 5 years old when she was discovered to be 7 months pregnant when her parents took her to the hospital because her belly kept growing bigger and bigger.

It turns out that since birth, Lina had suffered from precocious puberty, which caused her body to develop like a young woman. And someone had abused her to the point of becoming pregnant. On May 14, 1939, Lina gave birth to a healthy baby boy by caesarean section. Lina's child was named Gerardo, but to this day the identity of the baby's father is still unknown. To this day, Lina Medina is the youngest mother in history.

8. The man in the photo is not throwing water into the pool to tease his friends, he is pouring acid to chase away white and black civil rights activists. He is the manager of the Monson Motor Lodge and the photo was taken by Horace Cort on June 18, 1964.

9. Life was at a dead end, forcing a mother to sell her four children. The photo was taken in 1948. Lucille Chalifoux was 24 years old and pregnant with her fifth child, and her husband had just lost his job. The family had just been evicted from their home, so they decided to put up a sign to sell their four children. All four children became slaves to others after being sold.

10. The photo shows a couple standing at the water’s edge, holding each other, their faces filled with shock. It turns out that their 19-month-old son had wandered into the beach and was probably swept away by the waves. The photo was taken on a spring morning in 1954.

11. Smiling faces of staff at the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in a photo. No one would have guessed that the people in this photo tortured and murdered millions of Jewish prisoners every day during World War II. They were called "devils" in human form.

12. American physicist Harold Agnew, who participated in the Manhattan Project, smiled while holding the plutonium core - the "heart" of the Fat Man atomic bomb. This was the second atomic weapon dropped on Japan in 1945, killing 80,000 people and injuring thousands more.

13. In this photo, serial killer John Edward Robinson (in yellow sweater) smiles and hugs baby girl Tiffany Stasi. However, Robinson murdered Tiffany's mother just one day before this photo was taken. Robinson then sold Tiffany to his cousin for adoption. The truth was revealed 15 years later when Robinson was arrested for allegedly killing at least 8 women and he paid the price for his crimes when he was sentenced to death in 2000.

14. Tyler Hadley - holding a glass and his friends at a party at his house. The scary thing is that before the party took place, Tyler used a hammer to kill his own parents. Then he hid the victim's body in his bedroom and happily partied in his own house without any feeling of remorse or regret.
