Chainsaw Suicide

David Phyall, a 50-year-old British man, didn't want to leave his apartment block, which was set to be demolished.
Alternative accommodations were offered to him 11 times, but David just wasn't taking.

One by one, all his neighbors moved out, leaving him the sole holdout rattling around in a condemned apartment building all on his own.

Something had to give and it turned out that something was going to be David's vertebrae.
See, he had a plan that was definitely going to cost him his safety deposit, and make a hell of a chore for the cleaning staff.

David tied a chainsaw to the leg of a table, laid down with his neck against it, set the saw on a 15-minute timer, then took a stiff drink and then took a cocktail of pills to knock himself out.
He rested the saw on his neck and once he passed out, the timer went off – slicing through his neck in an instant.

Cops and paramedics found his blood-soaked corpse ten days ago after his dad John raised the alarm.

A Hampshire police source said: “What greeted them was a horrific sight. The head was severed and there was a considerable amount of blood.

“He seemed to have gone into a great amount of detail to end it all.”



What is the truth?

This is unfortunately a true story.

Ron Turtle, residents’ association chairman, said: “They offered him several places that were similar but he just didn’t want to move. They had to go to court. It is a very sad situation.”

Chainsaw suicides happens.
There is word off cases that people saw there head off by a dare or bet.

Drunk? Depressed? Angry? Stay away from chainsaws!
Or friends with a chainsaw...

The Nurse

A girl finished nursing school and started to work in a new hospital.

She really likes her job, but she found it difficult to get along with the people she worked with.

Most of her colleagues are young doctors who had just finished medical school.
The young doctors really liked to party and pull pranks on each other.

She found it very difficult to live with them in the residence next to the hospital.
They made too much noise and stayed up very late at night.

The nurse worked very long hours and really needed all the sleep she could get.
Whenever she complained about their behavior, the doctors just laughed in her face and told her to shut her mouth.

The nurse eventually reported the doctors to the hospital manager, and they got in all sorts of trouble.
The doctors started to really hate the nurse and start to plan the perfect revenge!

One of the doctors came up with a really sick prank and all the other ones agreed to help.

That night, they broke into the mortuary in the hospital basement and sawed the arm of a corpse.

They sneaked into the nurse`s bedroom and put the severed arm under her bedclothes.
They placed it at the bottom of the bed so that when she lay down, her feet would touch the rotting arm.

The young doctors stood around in the hallway waiting for the nurse to go to bed.
As the girl entered her bedroom , the doctors had to stop themselves from laughing out loud.

The nurse was suspicious of their behavior, but she was too tired and stressed to care and went into her bedroom, closing the door behind her.

The men waited impatiently in the hallway for the nurse to find the severed arm in her bed.
But they didn`t hear a scream, no angry yells... only silence.

After a while the doctors got fed up waiting and decided to turn in for the night.
They assumed that they had placed the arm too far down in the bed and the nurse must not have felt it.

The next morning, the doctors went to check on the nurse. Hoping she have found the arm.
Receiving no answer when they knocked on the door, they turned the handle and went inside.

The room seemed to be completely empty.
The doctors searched the nurse`s bedroom and opened her closet.

They found the nurse curled up in the corner of the closet.
With her back towards them.
The doctors heard a shewing sound coming from her.

One of the doctors grabbed her shoulder to turn her around.

Her hair had turned grey and white.
Her eyes were rolled back in her head and she had gone totally insane.
Her face looked like it had aged 20 years.

But fear stroke them when they saw the horrible sight of the nurse shewing on the severed arm.
And a little smile appeared on her face.

Corpo Seco

You may say that this folkloric creature could the love child of a zombie, a vampire and a ghost, but its legend goes far deeper than a mere “inter-creature” love affair.

Corpo Seco, meaning literally “Dry Body” in Brazilian Portuguese, haunts the memories of many still today, having been told this story as children by their grandparents to avoid them of going around at night like the little rascals they where.

But here, let me tell you more about this particular fellow.



The Legend

This legend originates from a little rural town called Ituiutaba, in Minas Gerais. It seems to go as back as 1850, and it varies from source to source, but the structure of the story is as follows:

There was once a horribly evil man (sometimes a boy, sometimes a Portuguese immigrant), that took as a hobby killing, torturing and other chilling things to his slaves, animals and even family members (specially his mother).
He tortured and raped women and children to no end, and burnt men at stakes while his laughter rang through the shouts of his agonizing victims. When he got old, he used to bribe other people into doing the evil he was supposed to be doing, saying that if his wishes weren’t satisfied, he’d burn the person in question, who’d be so terrified of him to actually carry on with the madness.

When the man finally dies, God doesn’t let him get into Heaven and, when shunned to Hell, the Devil himself doesn’t let him get into it for being far too evil.


Trying to bury his body was also another problem – the Earth itself renegated the body, spatting him out right after being buried over and over again. Without being able to find a resting place, his decomposed body now stalks through the rural areas of Brazil, his body a gangling mass of bone and rotten flesh while his laughter rings awfully through the air, ready to take on a prey. Some folk say that when walking alone at night, the traveler who meets this creature will have its blood sucked out unless someone saves him or her from their awful fate.

Others claim that, if you can see him, you’ll be cursed and your death will come soon – in a very, very gruesome way.


Another thing that varies from story to story is how Corpo Seco becomes Corpo Seco: some say that, after spending too much time on the hands of her violent son, his own mother curses him and tells him that he’ll “die dry”, thus being stopped from eating completely and, after dying, turning into the awful creature that laughs and runs after travelers in the still of the night.




What is the truth?

It is more of an Urban Legend of the city than anything else – actually, the legend was recently “tombada” (which is the term used in Brazil to signalize that a certain cultural aspect (wheter it be architectural, textual, etc.) is now under the protection of the government).
The legend is deeply embroidered in folk’s tongues, changing significantly depending on what the “storyteller” wants to express: whether it be a word of advice, a warning to stay home at night or just the wish to scare the crap out of the listener.

But even so, we can’t just claim something to be nonexistent without decent proof, so I guess it’s up to you to wonder if it is indeed real or not.

... Just be careful while walking alone in the woods at night from now own, and if you hear some rustling behind you, keep in mind that it might just be your nice blood-sucking-zombie friend, the Corpo Seco.
