Who doesn't love a deep dive into a rabbit hole of interesting facts? I know I do... sometimes (or often) at the most ungodly hours. But every now and again, I come across something that I wish I hadn't. The type of information I'm convinced I was better off not knowing. The stuff that keeps me awake even later at night, brewing over, or worrying about, whatever it was that I just read.
Did you know that thousands of lives are cut short every year because of doctors' sloppy handwriting? Or that when a pregnant woman is buried, the gases inside her can push the baby out... A grim occurrence known as coffin birth. These are just two creepy facts that were mentioned when someone posted on TikTok, "Tell me the scariest fact you know. I don't want to sleep tonight."

If you stare at yourself in the mirror for too long, especially in dim lighting, your brain starts to mess with you. Your eyes lose focus and your brain fills in the blanks — distorting your face until it looks warped, unfamiliar, or even monstrous.
