1. The Russian Sleep Experiment

Wanting to observe the effects  of sleep deprivation, Soviet Russian scientists conducted an experiment. Sealing five human test subjects in a chamber, they filled it with a simulated gas to keep the subjects awake. The experiment officially ended prematurely in the suicide of a few subjects due to insanity and another dying after being administered anesthetic at the hospital. The last two were shot by a researcher hosting the experiment.

2. The Funhouse Mummy

The set of “The Six Million Dollar Man,” a TV show filmed in the mid ‘70s, hosted a haunted house set at the Nu-Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach, California. As staff members were moving The Hanging Man prop, its arm was knocked off, only to reveal human bones and muscle. The prop proved to be an actual corpse. The body was that of Elmer McCurdy, a man who had been shot after robbing a train in the early 1900s.

3. Kuchisake-onna, AKA “Slit-Mouthed Woman”

A Japanese woman, mutilated by her husband, wears a surgical mask as she approaches lone people in the night. She will ask, “Am I pretty?” If you answer no, she will kill you with scissors. If you answer yes, she will remove her mask, revealing a gruesome grin, the corners of her mouth slashed to reach her ears. She will restate the question. If you answer no, she will slice you in half. If you answer yes, she will mutilate your face just the same as hers with her scissors.

4. A Night in Vegas

A couple honeymooning in Las Vegas checked into their hotel room and were incredibly displeased with the odor. The manager offered to treat them to a nice lunch while the maid cleaned upstairs. The couple returned, only to complain once more. They remained present for the second cleaning, only to watch as the cleaning staff flipped their mattress and reveal a dead body stuffed in the frame of the bed.

5. The Clown Statue

A teenage babysitter is left to watch the baby of a suburban couple in desperate need of a date night. While the child is in bed and asleep, the babysitter settles herself on the couch to watch TV. However, a family heirloom in the room disturbs her: a life-sized statue of a clown. Covering it with a sheet, she lies back down, only to be awoken by thumps. She investigates the house, not wanting the child to be harmed, but after many thumps — each one louder than the last — she finally turns, only to see the clown before it chops off her head.

6. “Teke-Teke”

A train accident left a young Japanese woman sliced in half, her death slow and painful. Now, her ghost roams the streets of Japan, known as Teke-Teke. She is known to follow people who are alone, but unlike Kuchisake-onna, she plays no tricks. Teke-Teke will charge her victim, the sound of her elbows scraping against the ground making a “teke teke” sound. Once close enough, she reveals a scythe, only to slice her victim in half, making them just the same as her.

7. Mannequin or Mummy?

• Down in Chihuahua, Mexico, stands a little bridal shop, “La Popular,”  which was established in the ‘40s. Visitors from all over are drawn to this shop, but not for its extravagant dresses. Instead, they’re attracted to the mannequin that stands in the window. Her name is La Pascualita, and she often adorns a gorgeous wedding gown. However, her features are so incredibly realistic — such has having actual fingerprints on her hands, fingernails, varicose veins in her legs, and so on — people are quite sure she is the well-preserved corpse of the original owner’s daughter.

8. One, Two, One, Two

• A Korean legend starts with a girl named Sun-Hi, who was studying with a group of friends in their school library during late hours. While Sun-Hi left for the restrooms, her friends witnessed an eyeless woman press her face to a window of the library, only to shatter the glass and cause chaos. After Sun-Hi returned, she saw the bodies of her friends strewn about. She threw herself down as well, mocking death before the ghostly woman returned, mumbling “One, two… One, two…” After a suspenseful moment, the woman stood next to Sun-Hi, before shouting, “One, two!” and gouging out her eyeballs.
