In the age of the internet and with the rise of online influencers, it’s all too easy for us to assume that what somebody is showing us is true.

In today's video, we'll be exploring two terrifying cases of cannibalistic serial killers.

A couple running away together to elope is a tale as old as time, often sweetly portrayed in the romantic dramas we see on TV and the fairytale books we read.

In today’s video, we’ll be exploring two spine-chilling cases of couples who vanished into thin air...
