Top 10 Accounts of Cannibalism That Will Freak You Out

10.Rudy Eugene


We’ve all heard of the “Florida man” stories, but Rudy Eugene is proof that you can’t fathom the depths of depravity in drug-fueled rage. On a beautiful sunny afternoon on May 26, 2012, in Miami, Florida, Rudy Eugene, 31, passed homeless Ronald Poppo on the MacArthur Freeway. Eugene’s car had broken down on his way to a beach party, but he continued on foot, taking off all his clothes on the way. First red flag. After a brief, seemingly polite greeting, Eugene pounced on Poppo, knocked him unconscious, and ripped off his pants. He then proceeded to brutally bite Poppo’s face, chewing off parts in the process. One of those parts was his left eye. Eugene did not respond to officers when they arrived at the scene, save for an animal growl. Then they shot and killed him. While postmortem toxicology reports were expected to reveal bath salts in his system, nothing definitive was found except marijuana.

9.Fore People, Papua New Guinea

It is easy (and common) to impose the idea of ​​cannibalism on “less civilized” peoples isolated from modern civilization and to resist their customs, but we are not here for that. Leaving the Ick factor aside, did you know the possible danger of consuming human flesh? The Fore people of Papua New Guinea did not. In the late 1950s, members of the Fore society were affected by Kuru, a terminal illness, at an alarming rate. The researchers found that the fault was a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, similar to mad cow disease. Prions (misfolded proteins) cause neighboring proteins to misbend (in a way scientists currently don’t understand), creating plaques that turn your brain into Swiss cheese. This happens when meat from an infected cow is ground up and served to unsuspecting burger lovers. It turned out that they practice funerary cannibalism, where eating a loved one is a sign of mourning and respect; women and young people were more likely to consume the brains of the deceased.

8.The Milwaukee Monster

Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as The Milwaukee Monster, is a well-known serial killer active in the late 1980s and early 1990s who preyed on some of the most vulnerable in society – gay sex workers. He often lured these men (ages 14 to 31) into his home with promises to pay for nude photos. He then spiked their drink, strangled them, engaged in acts of necrophilia, and then mutilated their bodies. He would “savor” those he was most attracted to by cooking his meat (Dahmer once thought humans taste like minion steak). He then used his bleached bones as decoration in his apartment, but did you know that the brevity with which he addressed his crimes is what would eventually kill him? In prison, Dahmer used to dispose of his food in the form of severed limbs with the final touch of a jet of ketchup “blood” to antagonize his fellow inmates. This is what prompted inmate Christopher Scarver to beat Dahmer to death in 1994, just a few years after his 16 consecutive life sentences.

7.Jamestown Starving Time

In history class when we were children, we are often taught about the glorious gathering of the Pilgrims and the indigenous peoples of America in what we now celebrate as Thanksgiving. Ignoring the actual genocide of their neighbors, not everything was always perfect for America’s first European settlers. In the winter of 1609-1610, due to a dry rainy season that retarded crop growth, restricted access to clean water, delayed delivery of supplies, and too many mouths to feed, people began to starve to death. . rat, or even shoe leather was not available for meat, the few remaining settlers settled for humans. Scientific analysis of the unearthed remains revealed that a 14-year-old girl was killed and severed to be eaten, which is inferred from four superficial cut marks on the skull. In all, Jamestown’s population went from roughly 500 to 61 over the course of this infamous winter.

6.Leonarda Cianciulli

If you’re a supplicant for the increasingly fashionable mass fascination of “True Crime” (which, judging by your interest in this article, that’s quite likely), then you know that historically, serial killers are rare. So here’s one: Leonarda Cianciulli. Leonarda was born in idyllic southern Italy and was plagued by fears that none of her children would survive to adulthood. This was partly due to fortune-tellers, paranoia, and, more reasonably, the medical care available at the time. In 1938, part of her fear was justified, as only four children had survived out of a total of 17 pregnancies. When her oldest son wanted to join the military in preparation for WWII, well, that wasn’t enough. Leonarda’s most logical solution to ensuring her safety was with not one, not two, but three total human sacrifices. The victims were three women from her community who trusted Leonarda, and we will let Leonarda reflect on how she mishandled that trust: “She ended up in the pot, like the other two… her meat was fat and white, when it melted I added a bottle of cologne, and after a long time in the boil, I was able to make a creamy soap that was most acceptable. I gave bars to neighbors and acquaintances ”. Regarding the leftover blood: “I waited until it coagulated, I dried it in the oven, crushed it and mixed it with flour, sugar, chocolate, milk and eggs, as well as a little margarine, kneading all the ingredients. . I made a lot of crunchy tea cakes and served them to the women who came to visit, although Giuseppe and I ate them too. ”

5.North Korean Black Market

Even in 2021, North Korea remains a totalitarian island state under the rule of its glorious (late) leader Kim Il-Song, led by his progeny and progeny, dedicated to the total rejection of any outside influence. While we may find his attempts to appear up-to-date funny, like Kim Jong-Un’s love for Dennis Rodman and the fake accessories of truly uninhabited buildings in the capital Pyongyang, what is not is the condition of most of the inhabitants. . The people of North Korea live there. What little we know is thanks to the testimony of the defectors who survived their escape to China and South Korea: most people, excluding the elite and government officials, subsist on very little to eat, now known as the “Hidden Famine”. Enter the black market. In its darkest corners, you can find some conventional meats and other strange-looking meats. It is also in these areas that children disappear. A specific account details the disappearance of two brothers who were last seen near a noodle shop … The owner would reveal that she offered the children a place near the fire and some broth to warm up. When they fell asleep, she murdered them, slaughtered them, and then served them for food.

4.The Man Who Ate His Own Foot

This story comes from Reddit user IncrediblyShinyShart and yes, before you ask, there are multiple interviews AND images to back up its validity. Having sustained a debilitating foot injury in a motorcycle accident, this user agreed with the doctor’s decision to amputate. Now apparently a running joke in his group of friends was eating human flesh, so he thought, “I’ll just ask if I can bring my foot home.” Harmless, right? Now back home, foot in hand, after some casual banter with friends, the group decided to salvage the meat from whatever feet they could, marinate overnight, and fry it the next day along with some taco veggies. Foot studs.

3.Armin Meines

In the last post, we asked the question: what if you could cannibalize yourself? In the case of Armin Meines, now known as Rotenburg Cannibal or Der Metzgermeister (The Master Butcher), he asked: “What if you could cannibalize someone else, but in a consensual way?” You see, Meines fantasized about the true form of intimacy: eating someone else. Therefore, they would exist within you, indefinitely. This desire is possibly due to a perceived insecurity in his childhood family ties, but for Meines, it became one of his greatest sexual desires. And he found a consensual partner in Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes on The Cannibal Cafe website. (Fair warning, the next part is gruesome.) Together, on March 9, 2001, Brandes took sleeping pills and cough syrup, and Meines cut off his penis, fried it in a pan with salt, pepper, wine, garlic and fat, but to Brandes’ dismay on tasting it, he found it to be overcooked. Meines was then transferred to a tub to bleed out (while Brandes was reading a Star Trek book), stabbed in the neck, hung from a meat hook, and dismembered. All of this was recorded on video. Brandes enjoyed forty-four pounds of Meines for the next ten months and was only discovered when he was alerted to authorities about the search for his next online partner.

2.Joel Guy Jr.

This one doesn’t technically imply cannibalism per se, but the gruesome crime scene authorities would break into on November 26, 2016 is enough to make anyone’s stomach churn. Joel Guy Jr. was not happy to learn that after 28 years of not having a job, being fully supported by his parents, they were planning to retire soon, which isolated him. He planned to murder Joel and guy Lisa, set the house on fire and somehow blame his father in a tragic murder-suicide and win that sweet life insurance money (valued at $ 500,000). a wellness check and discovered the following scene: Joel Sr. had been stabbed more than 40 times, dismembered, mostly dissolving in a tub of decaying stew except for his hands, which were found on the ground. Lisa received more than 30 stab wounds and received almost the same treatment, except that her head was found in a pot on the stove, probably simmering for days. Oh!

She sucks, right?
