10: Miyuki Ishikawa Miyuki Ishikawa was the
demon midwife who murdered 100 babies! This evil woman terrorized Tokyo in the 1940s.
She may have believed that she was acting out of mercy, but she was really just pure evil. She's
actually considered one of history's deadliest female serial killers, if not the deadliest.
We have to go back to just before World War Two in Japan. Miyuki was working as a midwife, something
that should have been a noble profession. It was actually fairly common for women at the time.
But what nobody realized for way too long was that Miyuki was murdering the babies of poor families.
When she was finally apprehended by police, she claimed that she did it because the families were
too poor to raise the children. She didn't want them to suffer in financial poverty.
This does make a bit of sense, though not to condone the murders in the slightest. 1940s Japan
was full of problems. There was food scarcity, the Allies kept bombing their train supplies, and
famine was spreading across the country. People used to stand for hours in line just to get a
single bowl of soup. Even after giving birth, many women went on to abandon their children or simply
let them die in the cold from exposure. Miyuki’s solution to this was to just kill the babies
before they could ever experience such torment. The death toll was so high by the time she was
caught that Miyuki remains the most prolific serial killer in the history of Japan. Her
atrocities were even worse than anything committed by most of the soldiers throughout the whole war.
9: Henry Louis Wallace Henry Louis Wallace was a real piece of work,
an American serial killer who murdered 10 young black women in North Carolina from between May
of 1992 and March of 1994. He's considered one of the evilest serial killers in history,
not because of how many he killed but because of how awful the crimes truly were.
Henry grew up with his mother, who worked long hours as a textile worker. He accused
her of being too harsh on him, criticizing his every move and constantly disciplining him.
After he graduated in 1983, he became a disc jockey, went to a few colleges,
and then joined the US Navy in 1985. From here, he seemed to be a totally normal guy.
He married his sweetheart from high school and was honorably discharged.
But apparently, he had developed a drug problem in the Navy. He was smoking crack! When he got out,
he began burglarizing houses around the Seattle area and was arrested in 1988 for
robbing a hardware store. He served two years of probation and then started murdering in 1990.
His first victim was Tashanda Bethea, a high school student. He brutally killed
her and then dumped her body in a lake. He was questioned by the police but they didn't have
enough evidence to convict him. But it was in May of 1992 that the killing spree truly began.
He hired a prostitute named Sharon Nance, then beat her to death when she demanded payment for
her services and dumped her body by the railroad tracks. This went on and on until he was finally
caught after stabbing the co-worker of his girlfriend 38 times in the stomach.
The reason Henry is considered so evil is that he killed for pleasure, when he really had all
he could ever ask in life, including plenty of girlfriends. He just loved the thrill of the kill.
8: King Herod King Herod, often called Herod the Great,
was the king of Judea between 74 and 4 BC. This was a time when Judea was heavily influenced by
the Roman Empire, even though it was technically an independent kingdom. In the Bible, King Herod
is depicted as a horrifying monster. The Bible says he tried to kill the baby Jesus and when he
couldn't find him, he butchered every last infant in Bethlehem. And even though historians today
generally agree the story is fictitious, they also agree the real King Herod was a total dirtbag.
Putting aside the story of Jesus, Herod really was a murdering psychopath.
He executed one of his wives, he killed three of his children, and he had no less than 10 wives at
a time. He was so crazy about having as many wives as possible that he tried to change the belief
system around Judaism to say that it allowed polygamy. Anyone who didn't support his rule found
themselves being confiscated of their property. He robbed the upper classes of the Jewish people
until he became rich and powerful, able to pay for protection from his Roman overlords.
And yet despite his evil tendencies, Herod is still considered one of the greatest builders
the Holy Land has ever seen. He built fortresses, amphitheaters, harbors, and rebuilt the Temple of
Jerusalem after the Babylonians destroyed it. And in the end, he died an old man of natural causes.
A life of evil and then a quiet death. 7: Joseph Stalin
Everyone hates Adolf Hitler. There's really no getting around it. But while Adolf Hitler
is really the “go-to” standard for evil, Joseph Stalin was arguably just as bad.
Stalin started out as a general secretary for the Communist Party in the 1920s, then became
the dictator of the Soviet Union. He was one of the worst dictators the world has ever seen,
particularly cruel and evil. Adolf Hitler may have killed at least 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.
Vladimir Lenin, the guy who came right before Stalin, was responsible for 9 million deaths
in his own country. But Joseph Stalin killed even more. Millions in the Soviet Union were executed,
millions more starved to death because of his policies, and plenty more died in labor camps.
Joseph Stalin was responsible for creating the gulag system, which reached its height in the
1950s with about 2.5 million inmates. Somewhere around 14 million passed in and out of the gulag
between 1934 and 1944 alone. He's also responsible for the Great Famine. Stalin switched Russia's
policy from food production to industrialization, which caused a massive disaster. It's been
estimated that 14.5 million people died from starvation just because of the switch.
He basically shut off the food supply to his own people. In the end, Stalin’s actions resulted in a
disputed number of deaths, but probably somewhere around 20 million – mostly in the Soviet Union.
6: Pedro Lopez Pedro Lopez is evil
incarnate. He is one of the most prolific serial killers in the world, a Colombian national
convicted of murdering 110 individuals. However, he confessed to killing at least 350. And while
you may think somebody like this would simply stay in prison for the rest of their life, he was
actually released in the 1990s on good behavior. It was after that when authorities lost track
of him. Nobody knows where he is today. Pedro Lopez, also known as the Monster of the Andes,
is arguably one of the most dangerous demons on the planet and could be absolutely anywhere.
His killings began around the 1970s. It's hard to say exactly when. All we know is that the
Colombian made it his mission to travel across South America and murder as many young girls
as possible. He made it to 100 by 1978. It was only when a flash flood in Ecuador revealed the
buried bodies of four young girls that authorities finally caught on to what he was doing and tracked
him down. When the police arrested him, he agreed to take them to one of his mass burial sites.
There, they found 53 of his victims. 5: Mary Bell
In the 1960s, England had a child murderer living amongst them. It was just after the war was over,
the small town of Scotswood was still recovering, and the streets were filled with unsupervised
children just kind of fending for themselves. One of these kids was Mary Bell, a young girl
with a reputation for being unruly and explosively violent. Parents in the neighborhood had actually
called the police because the young girl had tried to choke their children to death.
By the age of 11, she had already killed two young boys with nothing but her hands.
4-year-old Martin Brown and 3-year-old Brian Howe. The way she killed them is so sick and disgusting
I can't even repeat it or your ears might bleed! The only good thing about Mary Bell is that she
was captured by authorities before she could kill any more kids. She was placed in a secure facility
and spent six years there before being transferred to a different prison. At the age of 23, she was
granted anonymity, she changed her name, and she went into hiding. Mary Bell never killed again,
not that we know about. She kept herself hidden from the public, had a child, and apparently tried
to live a non-evil life for the rest of her days. 4: Albert Fish
Albert Fish is known as the Brooklyn Vampire. But unlike the vampires we're
used to seeing in movies, this guy was truly evil. In November of 1934, Grace Budd had been missing
for six years already. She was just 10 years old when she vanished, and police had never made any
headway on the investigation. But then one day out of the blue, her mother received a very disturbing
letter. The letter read something like, “Mrs. Budd, on June the 3rd, 1928,
I brought you cheese and strawberries. We had lunch, your daughter sat in my lap, and I made
up my mind there that I was going to eat her.” And as it turned out, that's exactly what
happened. A deckhand who had been doing work at the house met Grace and made his mind up
that he would cook her in his oven. The letter marked the very end for the cannibal Albert Fish,
since Grace’s mother knew exactly who it was that had been at her house that day six years ago.
When the police finally tracked him down, Albert had already been doing a lot of killing. He
admitted to starting his murder spree in New York City with young boys. He would lure them to his
house and then torture them, often using a paddle studded with nails. This guy is truly evil for the
plain fact that most of his victims were children. Not only that, but he focused on disabled orphans
and homeless black children. 3: Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun was one of the evilest rulers from ancient times. While we may think of him today as
an uneducated barbarian, the truth is that he was born into royalty. His uncles ruled the Hun
Empire in the 420s and passed the throne on to him. He could speak and read multiple languages,
he was taught military tactics, and he led a very privileged life. Then when he came to power,
he became something of a monster. It's true that he negotiated a brief peace with the Romans,
but he also killed his own brother to make sure nobody could contest his power.
Then in the spring of 450, Atilla received a letter from Honoria, the sister of the emperor
of Western Rome. She sent him a ring and beseeched his help to get her out of an impending marriage
to an aristocrat whom she didn't much like. At the time, Attila already had several wives. But
he wanted his new bride so badly that he invaded Gaul and went on to wage two military campaigns
just to get her. The evil ruler of the Huns
met his horrible end on his wedding night. He was still in pursuit of Honoria when he married a
woman named Ildico in the year 453. On his wedding night, he drank and feasted and then retired
to his chambers. In the morning, he never came out. His guards eventually broke down the door
and found him dead in his bed. He suffered a nosebleed while drunk and unconscious
and then choked to death on his own blood. Some historians believe it was actually his new wife,
who was found at his bedside, who organized the whole thing.
2: Vera Renczi Vera Renczi was a very evil woman.
She's known as the Black Widow, a terrible serial killer who lived between 1903 and 1960 in Romania.
She confessed to poisoning at least 35 individuals throughout her life, including two of her
husbands, several of her lovers, and her one son. Her son was poisoned with arsenic in the 1920s.
Vera is extremely mysterious. Nobody has actually been able to find any legitimate sources
that speak about her murders, as in no official government documents from Romania.
And yet the story of Vera’s evil killing spree has been around for at least 100 years.
It’s said that her mother died when she was just 13. She had numerous boyfriends,
all of whom were way older than her. She was also described as jealous and suspicious in nature.
Her first marriage ended when she suspected that her husband Lorenzo was unfaithful. She poisoned
his dinner wine without even confronting him. Then she became suspicious of her second husband and
murdered him too. She murdered most of the men she had affairs with afterward, and in the end
was finally caught after killing a bank officer who had been cheating on his wife with Vera.
When the police investigated her house, they found a cellar beneath the floor with 35 coffins inside.
And in the center was a single red armchair that she allegedly lounged in while drinking wine and
reminiscing about all the men she had killed. 1: Caligula
Caligula was the most sadistic Roman emperor ever. He ruled Rome for four years,
mocking the Senate, draining the treasury, and having his own private party. Even all
these years later, the name Caligula is still synonymous with insanity, sadism, and perversion
The problem with Caligula is that according to his biographer Suetonius, he thought he was a god.
He believed that he had the divine right to do anything he wanted to anybody. One of his favorite
things to do was sleep with the wives of his officials, either consensually or by force, and
then laugh about it in front of them. He also went to bed with his sisters, he confiscated people's
houses for fun. And one day, when there were no criminals available to feed to the animals at the
circus, he had an entire group of spectators thrown in to make things more interesting.
He didn't really do one specific thing that was evil, it was more about his attitude towards
his fellow humans. He mocked, tortured, ridiculed, and bullied everyone he could while having affairs
with everybody's wife. It's no wonder the people sworn to protect him, his own Praetorian Guard,
eventually plotted and carried out his murder. Who do you think was the WORST person in history?
