Death

We're not sure what compels people to seek out abandoned mental hospitals and creepy places of all sorts, but we're glad to hear their report when (if) they make it back. If you wanna freak yourself out some more, here's some creepy stuff people had happen closer to home.

Sometimes a well-timed inappropriate thing said at a funeral can actually improve the mood and make the experience more meaningful. Other times it's family members almost coming to blows over who gets their grandpa's estate. Pretty wide swing of the pendulum, for sure. For crazy wedding stories, check this out.

This oddly satisfying Tumblr post is centered on one badass story, inspired by a writing prompt about Death offering you the chance to play one game for your life. In this case, we follow the character's decision to play D&D against death. Queue the suspense and satisfying drama. 

You hear about moments like these all the time. Something just doesn't seem quite right, so you hesitate, prepare, or get the hell outta there. These people had especially vivid moments where their instincts kicked in and they made a decision that ended up saving their skin. Here's more times someone dodged a huge bullet.

You risk your life every time you step out the door. Or even stay at home. Even when you're sleeping. Anyway, these folks are some of the luckiest people out there. You never know how life will roll the dice, but it looks a lot like these people got a second chance that many aren't afforded. If you're in the mood, here are some more nerve-wracking stories of survival.

In 1986, the legendary author wrote this letter about the passing of his daughter 24 years earlier. This message still resonates today as a reminder of the dangers of not taking steps against the preventable disease. It's a bit of a shame that this message from almost 40 years ago is still relevant, but here we are.

Most signs just say "Danger" or "Keep Out" but these ones have more of a flair for the dramatic. Whether overly specific or overly vague, theses signs really make you want to stay back.

People will go to the greatest lengths for the dumbest reasons. Faced with that much in real medical bills, her Dad could've said a lot more than he did.

Say what you will, but we will never not find it hilarious when a sign for anything ART related gets sullied by a well-placed F. Here's some top quality accidental filth.

The world is full of nightmares. Here are a batch of things you've never noticed and didn't want to know. From unsavory movie facts to obscure diseases, some are a *little* worse than others.

If you're strolling through some supposedly non-hazardous environment and you see one of these, do yourself a favor and turn back. Oh, and also BEES!

Ah, the old days. Back when life was simple. You could take candy from strangers, no one wore seatbelts and teachers could hit kids. Why did things ever change.

Sometimes bosses are truly unreasonable. Sometimes a business is a total scam that takes advantage of its employees. Here's hoping that these people were able to find better jobs.

At 26 years young Australian woman, Holly Butcher, was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer that is most prevalent in young people. 

At 27 years, quickly approaching her last day on this earth, she decided to write an open letter to everyone and anyone to help us gain some perspective on the crazy journey that is this life.

The whole letter is well worth a read and will probably change the way you approach your day.

"That's the thing about life, it is fragile, precious, unpredictable and each day is a gift, not a given right."

"If something is making you miserable, you do have the power to change it – in work or love or whatever it may be. Have the guts to change. You don't know how much time you've got on this earth so don't waste it being miserable."

-Holly Butcher

Sure, they don't get the internet right all the time, but can you blame 'em?
