From crazy criminal cravings to terror inducing twins, we look at 10 bizarre crimes that will
blow your mind.
10.
Despicable deceit • A woman in America reports to police that
she’d been raped and beaten in her own home.
• Police thought it was a burglary gone wrong, until about a week later one of her
co-workers told them the truth.
She had staged the attack to try to convince her husband to move to a nicer neighborhood.
So she scraped her hands with sandpaper, had a friend rough her up and cut her lip open.
She even wet herself for authenticity, giving an Oscar worthy performance when the cops
arrived.
• Instead of a nicer neighborhood her shenanigans landed her in jail and her husband filed for
divorce.
The kicker is, this woman was a psychologist.
How in hell are you meant to help people if you’re crazier than Gary Busey on Dancing
with the stars?
Actually Gary Busey in general.

The London Monster • In London in the late 1700s, a series
of attacks occurred where a man dubbed ‘The London Monster’ would prick women in the
butt with a pin, or a knife.
• Sometimes the creep would only get to tear the ladies clothing but other times there
were substantial injuries.
Hysteria eventually set in and some women even started wearing copper pans under their
petticoats to protect their buns from an unprovoked prodding.
• Luckily the nutbag was caught and the London streets were never safer….ish.
They probably should’ve saved the title of monster for Jack the Ripper.
Still, never have you met such a prick. 8.
Slaughtering Sleepwalker • In the 1880s a respected detective named
Ledru was investigating a murder on a beach.
• A man had been shot and the only evidence was a footprint and a bullet fragment.
After assessing the footprint for some time, he realized that it was so familiar because
it was his!
The renowned detective had shot someone while sleepwalking!
The bullet matched his own revolver and he’d even woken up with wet shoes and socks.
• The detective was such a stand-up guy, nobody could believe he was capable of murder.
Which I guess is true, it was subconsciously that he was harbouring a deadly bloodlust.
I wonder if that makes it better or worse.
Oh well.
7.
The Spy who fooled me • In a chatroom far, far away a teenage
boy posed as a lady; but she wasn’t just any female, she was a spy seeking a new recruit.
• Posing as a 42 year old woman, a 14 year old boy named John groomed an older boy, promising
him a job as a spy if he completed an assassination.
The catch is that John was ordering his own murder.
• When he was stabbed a week later, police assumed it was a robbery gone wrong.
But after finding the chatroom conversations between the pair of boys.
John’s the first person to be charged with attempting to incite his own murder.
At least the guy had a knack for the kind of manipulation that will serve him well if
he decides to be politician or cult leader one day.
6.
Horror Hotel • In the late 1800s, H.H Holmes was the
kind of creepy sadist that makes the ‘Saw’ films look like ‘Little House on the Prairie’.
• Building a hotel unlike any other filled with torture chambers, secret passageways
and doorways that opened up to brick walls.
He had soundproofed rooms and combustible chambers that allowed him to fill your room
with lethal gas or set you on fire.
It’s confirmed that he murdered 27 guests probably killed many, many more.
While building his torture B&B, Holmes routinely fired builders so that nobody would know the
layout of his palace.
• Well that could happen these days because you’d have the worst AirBnB reviews of all
time.
5.
Robber Angst • A man in Pennsylvania robbed a bank with
an unloaded gun in order to get away from his controlling wife.
• He was courteous to the bank tellers, made no threats and even loitered long after
he was handed the money, asking the tellers if the police had been called.
Police said after a ten minute conversation with the man’s wife they wanted to be put
in jail too.
• The robber’s wife had threatened to kill herself if he left her so he felt this
was his only way to get away from her.
Lucky for him, while he was in jail his wife filed for divorce so all’s well that ends
well, sort of.
4.
Sleepy burglar • Only in Florida, this Goldilocks of the
crime world fell asleep on the job while he was burgling a house.
• After a long day of illegal activities, this hardcore thug just wanted a little shut
eye.
When the owner of the house found the sleeping thief, they promptly and quietly called the
cops and tip toed around the tuckered out crim.
The burglar explained that he’d overindulged in the family’s stock of chicken wings and
beer before desperately needing a lie down.
• At least he was confronted by cops instead of a family of bears, though I’m sure he’ll
see his fair share of bears in prison.
3.
Maniac Manure Masturbator • David Truscott is really into cow dung,
so much so he started frequenting a farm in the UK and would take the manure home with
him to fulfil his sexual fantasies.
• When hauling the poop home wasn’t enough to satisfy him anymore, he began rolling around
in the muck, covering himself in it while he masturbated.
• At first the farm owners weren’t too worried, until he started pleasuring himself.
When they put up fences to prevent their pesky pervert from returning, he threatened to kill
them and tried to set fire to the farm.
When he was sent to jail David maintained that the charges were bull shit.
2.
Twisted Twins • Jennifer and June Gibbons are twins way
creepier than anything from ‘The Shining’.
These twisted twins cut themselves off from society at a young age, speaking their own
secret language and performing tasks in unison.
• The family tried to separate the girls by sending them to different boarding schools
but they went into catatonic states until they were reunited.
Then in their late teens their short lived crime spree began and their relationship became
even more volatile resulting in numerous attempts to kill one another.
They committed petty thefts, vandalism and moved their way up to arson.
• After being caught burning down a barn, the pair were sent to a psychiatric hospital.
At the age of 29, they decided that for one of them to live, the other had to die.
Shortly after, Jennifer died from an inflammation of the heart, the cause of which remains a
mystery.
1.
Making Mummies • When dozens of graves had been disturbed
and bodies stolen in Eastern Russia, the police sought the help of Anatoly Moskvin, an academic
and local expert on cemeteries.
• They quickly discovered that their expert was actually the perpetrator!
In his apartment police found the bodies of 26 of young girls that he had mummified.
As if this weren’t disturbing enough, he painted their faces to look like dolls and
would interact with them, throwing them birthday parties and celebrating holidays.
• He told police he was trying to make the girls comfortable while trying to find a way
to bring the young girls back to life using science or black magic.
Yikes!
Thankfully he was put into a psychiatric facility where he could get the help that he needed.
