Ok, I might need a minute to scroll through my bookmarks
Edit, ok, here we go (this is just from my bookmarks and what feels most "unsettling" to me. I could sit here and link for hours to more things I have "saved" in my head, but I'll leave it at this for now):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Shadow_Etched_in_Stone Human Shadow Etched in Stone (人影の石, hitokage no ishi)[2] is an exhibition at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It is thought to be the residue of a person who was sitting at the entrance of Hiroshima Branch of Sumitomo Bank when the atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima. It is also known as Human Shadow of Death[1] or simply the Blast Shadow.
explosive decompression in 1983 that killed four divers and one dive tender, as well as badly injured another dive tender.
excerpt:
Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door.
Maybe not unsettling, and not a particular article but an interesting, possibly existential crisis thing is if you click the first link in any wiki artical that is:
not in itallics
Not in parenthesis
And is in the article itself.
And you keep doing that as it takes you through articles it will almost always end up at the philosophy article.
This is always the one I go to to really freak people out. The idea that there's no way you can influence it so you shouldn't actually worry about it takes a while to set it.
There’s also no way for us to see it coming. Once it happens somewhere in the universe it will approach us at light speed destroying everything in its path. The moment we have a chance to even learn about its existence it will kill us faster than the billionaires in the sub.
I mean, I'm kind of okay with that? We all die eventually; I would rather mine be going from "alive" to "not" all at once, without the "prolonged illness and/or other suffering" phase in the middle.
I know this isn't the most disturbing Wiki article out there, but this is the creepiest one I know of that I can stomach. Also, it's an interesting case, despite its morbid and eerie nature.
Ohhhh, that makes sense. Thanks for the info. I looked at the article again just now and realized it looks a lot different from how I remember, so possibly there's more info on there now than when I had last looked at it.
I'll be honest, I'm a little sad I can no longer chalk it up to aliens or a weird cryptid 😅
Reddit had a sub called creepywikipedia for this kind of thing. It shut down for the protest and stayed shut down. Might be worth recreating by someone more inclined than myself, who is very lazy
