One of the first real crime scene photos ever taken, Madame Debeinche lies dead on the floor of her bedroom in Paris, May 8, 1903. Her darkening hands and feet are a clue that some time had passed since the killing. Though we might feel a bit guilty about our fascination with the macabre, there's just something irresistible about a good true crime story. And for those with an insatiable appetite, we've compiled a gallery of some of the grisliest photos from serial killers' crime scenes. These pictures don't hold anything back – even in black and white — limbs and bloodstains appear as if in color. From Ed Gein's furniture upholstered in human skin to Edmund Kemper's garden of severed heads, see photos that reveal the true horrors of history's worst killers o At first glance, the faded 1903 photograph of Mme Debeinche’s bedroom, bound in the yellowed pages of an early 20th-century album, shows what looks to be an unremarkable middle-class Parisian apart...

The Death of Stalin’s Son The death of Joseph Stalin’s son Yakov Dzhugashvili in a German concentration camp 80 years ago was kept a secret for decades. Joseph Stalin’s son, Yakov Dzhugashvili, following his capture, on a German airfield, 1941. Alamy. Shortly after the defeat of Nazi Germany in May 1945, Allied military intelligence agents unearthed a container of top secret files in the garden of a senior German diplomat. One set of microfilmed documents contained a report into the shooting of a Soviet prisoner of war by an SS guard at Sachsenhausen concentration camp on 14 April 1943. The victim was a 36-year-old Red Army artillery lieutenant named Yakov Dzhugashvili. There was nothing remarkable in the death of a Soviet soldier in Nazi captivity. In the first 12 months of Adolf Hitler’s invasion of the USSR, an estimated 2.8 million Red Army prisoners had succumbed to starvation, exposure and disease while in German hands. However, as the SS report made clear, Yakov Dzhugashvili was...

A few years ago I found out about this wrestler named “Act Yasukawa” while watching Japanese wrestling. Growing up half Japanese it was always great to see my people excel in sports whether it is soccer, wrestling or baseball. But this lady here had the most impact on me, n I’m not even that big of a wrestling fan. In 2015 in a wrestling program called stardom, Act participated in a singles match against a “ugly psycho”, yes I’m not saying her real name bc she doesn’t deserve recognition n deserves to disappear from the wrestling industry. I’ve never shed a tear while watching wrestling but this was a first bc this wasn’t fake or kayfabe. Mind you this “girl” was 5 times the size n weight of Act. What I witnessed watching this fight was pure psychotic activity by this “ugly psycho”, the acts she committed were inhumane n disgusting n she deserves to be in jail. Act was brutally assaulted in this match for no good reason, her face was badly deformed,( yet she still looked 10 times prett...
