There are pros and cons to having access to every piece of information at your fingertips. While it is convenient to simply pull out your phone if you need an important question answered, the downside is that you come across facts you wish you didn’t have to know.
Take these responses to a recent Reddit thread as an example. While most of them are trivial, a handful are shocking enough to make you think for a good few days. Before you know it, you’re doing your own deep dives, for better or worse.
If you’re fascinated by all things creepy, this list may be for you.

I once interviewed the city coroner when I worked for a small community newspaper.
He said that in cases where they think something suspicious or fishy happened with a death--k****d to get an inheritance or something--90% of the time they're right. Ninety percent. I really had no idea so many people k****d family members for gain.
