What's the most HORRIFYING, HAUNTING image or moment you cant get out of your head?(r/AskReddit)

what is the most horrifying haunting image or moment that you can't get out of your head my sister called me to for help because she went to visit our grandma and she had fallen I run across the street and look in the patio window to see my grandma on the floor with a pool of blood forming I was so terrified and to make things worse the door was locked in her landlord could get it open so I kicked the door on while calling 9-1-1 was okay it was just a big scrape on her forehead no stitches needed but seeing her motionless with blood pooling was too much afterwards I helped my mom bleach all the blood up it was something I'd rather never have to do again the scent the amount of blood and how hard it is to clean I was traveling in the rural parts of my country we were taking a piss stopped and saw a large truck pass us after driving for about five minutes we saw a working motorcycle on the side of the road beside it was a corpse with its skull flattened and brain splattered everywhere we immediately called the cops and notified them about the death and the truck since that was the only vehicle that passed us to have caused this I was 12 then headed we were sure about the truck because it left a bloody trail behind I think my parents decided not to pass the crime scene until the police arrived in order to preserve the evidence like many murders and accidents in my country they'd go unsolved we couldn't identify the truck very well because the time was nearly dawn at least my family was never bothered again with the case ripped to that motorcyclist back in the day I was on call for the burn unit on Sunday morning November 1st Life Flight brought in a guy who was having a family bonfire on his ranch for Halloween eventually ended up passing out drunk in the fire after everyone else went to bed the only parts of his body that weren't burned were his butt cheeks which were pressed against the ground so 98% TBSA full thickness burn the guy looked completely charred and black hair burned off and everything he looked like a prop from a disaster movie or for those that may get the reference Donal Logue vampire character and blade when he arrives at the hospital in the beginning of the movie what haunts me as I see him in the trauma Bay looking like a movie prop then he wakes up screaming I've seen some crap but that still haunts me the misery pain the horror I'll never forget that long story short I did everything in the playbook to keep him alive but he died his survival rate from that injury was 0% driving up on a car accident that I quickly realized was my parents vehicle in another person's truck my parents truck was destroyed as I ran up to the scene a couple police officers intercepted me and stopped me asking who I was I told him a bunch of info and after about a minute and a half of talking he told me my mom was deceased it wasn't until that moment my brain registered the body bag lying on the ground next to the passenger door of the truck having to leave your own mother lying dead on the side of the road is not something I wish on anyone I was told my father was in critical condition and taken to a hospital about 10 miles away and the officer suggested if I wanted to see him I should hurry the whole drive I assumed I was going to walk into the ER and be informed I had lost both my parents thankfully my dad survived and recovered but I will never forget the look of utter hopelessness and on his face when he woke up three days later and I had to tell him the love of his life had died I had a reoccurring nightmare from about age 6 to 12 the room I sleep in at the time had a large closet set into one wall with large mirrored doors that folded open the dream started with the doors closed and the room would slowly start to spin clockwise when it reached the wall opposite of the closet there was a painting of an eyeless woman with rotting skin on the wall from the inherent knowledge present only in dreams I knew that she was someone important and that she had died at sea as the dream pan passed her a disembodied voice whispered her name Lenore by the time the room spun around back to the closet it was open and the interior lead to a beach where a large wooden ship had run aground various dead bodies littered the beach around it as the dream spun back to the opposite wall there were two paintings now and those voice whispered again a bit louder this time Lenore as the dream progressed the room would start to spin faster and faster the corpses on the beach began to pick themselves up and started slowly making their way toward the cloth the doors and the entrance to my room each time it would pan away from the closet more and more paintings would appear and the voice would get progressively louder right before the dream would end the closet entrance would be packed with corpses trying to push their way in every available surface was covered in paintings in the room spun at nauseating speed while a disembodied voice screamed Lenore over and over that was over 20 years ago and I still can't sleep if any doors are open in my room this just happened last night my dog was 12 years old and she was a king Shepard super healthy but had some hip issues last night at about midnight she fell and couldn't get up she looked at me so sadly and I said to her it's okay Sadie you can let go your job is done here we all love you so much she had something to drink indeed and I was just expecting her to get up and walk again because this had happened before and in the past she was just sore and would work through it and be fine well I went to go check on her at 2:30 a.m. in her tone was hanging out she was laying in same spot I left her she was still warm but she was gone I put her head under a pillow and just loved her and stayed with her all night my wife was working nights and I couldn't call her so I stayed with my dead dog till 7 a.m. just petting her and hugging her and telling her how much I ducking loved her and how much she changed my life I went from she's okay she's just sleeping and dogs don't die like this she's just paralyzed or something or I can bring her back I just need to do CPR I just was in total denial this dog was with my through my toughest years I took that dog everywhere with me she changed my life she changed my ducking life she was a rescue dog she was abused straight from the womb basically we got her at 4 months old and she was so broken and hated everyone and everything we loved and loved and loved her and got her to where she was comfortable around anyone in anything we had a baby three years ago and she was so protective of my little dude licking him when he cried and running to get us when he sobbed I've never been so hurt in my entire life my baby girl is gone she's gone and it feels like nothing will fill that void I hope I gave her enough love I miss seeing her at the door when I got home I miss her licking me to wake me up to go outside I miss taking her in the car with me even just to go to the corner ducking store because she was so excited I just hope she knew how much she was loved I hope I gave her all of my love I know this is pretty tame compared to some of the other stories on here but seeing my dog just laying there without me tore me to shreds I should have been there I should have been holding her I didn't want her to die alone edit Grammer and I just want to say thanks so ducking much everyone for the kind comments and PM's it means the world to me complete strangers lending an ear or just commenting things that help is ducking amazing I wish I could hug all of you I really need a hug actually go home tonight and give your animals love for me give them treats and hugs and just ducking love them love them to death that would make me feel better thank you so much everyone backslash happened less than a month ago I was at a 4th of July festival on the west side of Puget Sound in Washington State I was there because I was gonna house-sit for my brother for a few days because he went to Vegas we were at the festival with his girlfriend and her son her son went and hung out with his friends but I stuck with my brother and his girlfriend cause I didn't know what else to do this place was packed by the way and it was a waterfront any grass was taken up by people who were waiting for the fireworks my brother and I get up to walk around after about 40 minutes of waiting we get up and here two pops and one of us said something along the lines of hope that wasn't a gunshot ha we walk for a while he is showing me the downtown area and how nice it is then we see a group of college students running as fast as they can yelling get out of here there was gunshots get out the street was in chaos people running everywhere we started to go back to our spot because he couldn't get into contact with his girlfriend she was calling her son and every person we saw said we shouldn't go that way I remember him telling me I can stay where we were or go with him I chose to go with him there was a little girl we saw on the way back saying I don't want to die I also remember another girl around 13 or so completely hysterical hugging her dad or something I will never forget that night even though nothing came of it it turns out that some dumb ass was drunken threatening to stab people with a screwdriver he made a move and a cop shot him twice but holy crap the 10 or so emergency vehicles with their sirens the people running and crying it was insane and it was dark which didn't help at all anyway if you decided to read this whole thing Thanks I was the on-call animal control officer and someone found a dog in a dumpster hurt really bad I went and got the truck and went to get him he was an old ragged black pit bull standing in the center of a circle of people just screaming I've never heard a dog scream like that he screamed when I loaded him up he screamed the whole way to the shelter he screamed when I lifted him from the truck he screamed as I injected him with sedatives even then when I was injecting him with the euthanasia drug he was moaning I remember sitting there in the exam room covered in his blood looking at his beaten skull in the pieces of bone stuck to his fur and thinking someone beat this dog until they were tired and then kept beating him and will never ever catch him he could be right next to me in the grocery store and I'd never know I was standing next to a monster he couldn't have possibly done anything to deserve it I don't understand why that happened it's been years and sometimes I can hear him screaming I'm so sorry Black Dog I'm sorry the only thing I could do was kill you it was my first year in pediatric emergency room rotations as an undergrad shadow and researcher I always had the shift were out of most undergrads I saw kids die the most the one that was horrific was a dad and mom busting in their son was was about 6/7 through the doors like a movie scene dad was screaming and it was my first time seeing a child lifeless in purple I had to sit and console the mom and ask if she wanted a chair and I watched all the staff work to get this kid to breathe I didn't even take notes on this case I just had to soak it all in and take a break in the closet where literally everyone was crying turns out he had a genetic issue in the drug his mom usually gave for him stopped working the day and his kidneys failed to function he died on that table every time I enter room half I know it's life or death in those rooms I still get nightmares seeing his dad carry his lifeless body screaming and it / update read a newbie here and this is my first post that blew up I see everyone talking about their medical conditions and surviving these near-death experiences I am so glad all of you are here and alive I couldn't imagine being that scared and helpless most of the time y'all are brave to share this I hope all you find some sort of healing as your lives progress we are all very fortunate to make it past age five may all you be strong and healthy as my so always tells me to hearts I went to a church that talked a lot about the end of days they talked about the fire the brimstone you know all that standard and times crap they talked about how all the world would suffer but how we would be saved and should therefore look forward to that day I had some hardcore rapture anxiety and jumped out of my skin whenever I heard any sort of rumbling noise because I thought it meant that Jesus was returning to dug up everyone's crap anyway when I was 9 years old I had a nightmare about the end of days and I still say that it was the most disturbing nightmare I've ever had in this nightmare I walked through destroyed cities and fields of grass that were completely drenched in blood the sky was a light red I eventually made my way to a small village where and I saw piles and piles of bodies these were the bodies of people who had died during the tribulation somehow I made my way to the sewers where I saw even more body piles I remember seeing one body drift along the sewer canal into my field of vision it was facing me directly in our eyes met that's when I woke up that crap stuck with me I'm still angry with that church for filling my head with all that endtime crap I accidentally stepped on a two week old kitten that was hidden down a step into our sunroom where they were staying with the mother cat I heard its little head crunch right when I took a step and I jumped off before smashing it fully I wish hadn't its little skull was mashed and misshapen and blood was shooting out of a split in the skin of its head outside a thunderstorm had started with lots of lightning and thunder booming around the house rain was coming down in sheets the storm woke up my wife and stepdaughter and they came out to the sunroom before I could stop them blood shooting out of a kittens head and a raging thunderstorm and then my seven year old stepdaughter started crying I took the still breathing kitten outside and briefly contemplated what to do with it before wringing its neck there wasn't really another option but it still kind of bothers me you don't forget what that feels like or looks like I buried it by a tree in the backyard in the pouring rain at night to start of this one is not super scary however this is one of my most vivid haunting memories in my younger years when I was four I was in the nursery one of the girls watching me was bringing in a fan to put in the window and I saw what looked like another kids hand waving at me in the fan when I waved back the girl looked at me weird asking why I waved I told her something along the lines of that a kid and the fan waved at me she said no one was in the fan in a way that felt accusing at the time but now being an adult I am pretty sure I had freaked her out a little later after she had plugged the fan in and saturd in the windowsill I saw a hand waving the fan again I exclaimed to the lady that the hand was there and told her to look I do not know if she had seen it too but she ran over to the widow and leaned out to look around when she pulled herself back and she told me no one was there but this time she seemed shaken the girl then told me to play with some toys in the corner as she went to get my mom and that is as much as I can remember there however on rare occasions since then I have seen a pale hand point in a direction then disappear under the floorboards or reaching towards me underscore I do suffer from a bit of psychiatric problems due to PTSD so I do not know if what I saw was real however one thing that I have ruled out I do not have schizophrenia and the causation of my trauma had not occurred yet at that time I am not really a believer of ghosts but this memory still gives me chills to this day the first time I saw a dead body and did CPR messed with me a little I was 17 and in the middle of EMT school on a clinical rotation when we got a call for respiratory distress thinking that it was going to be someone who was just having some asthma or COPD complications I walked into the apartment building without much concern I was the first one in the door and I saw a woman who looked at me and said between tears my mom had trouble breathing a while ago I don't know if she made it I walked into the next room over and saw her an elderly lady slumped back partly falling off the bed she was on her eyes were wide open and it felt like they were starting at me the crew I was with walked in and then checked for a pulse she was gone as one of the guys started doing chest compression I waited behind him for my turn while the other guy set up the monitor waiting to do chest compressions for the first time as I watched someone else do it had to have been one of the most nerve-racking experiences of my life after his set of 30 and two breaths were given I began compressions doing them didn't feel as bad as I thought it would but I had an uneasy feeling every time I looked up at her face she was clearly dead but her eyes were still open and looking at me about 20 minutes later I was helping to ventilate her after she had been intubated when I looked down her eyes were still open but I noticed blood trickling out of her mouth and nose I asked the medic I was working with if that was normal and he said that he was going to call a doctor to get permission to stop CPR he did and then we stopped I then got a chance to look at the body I noticed the blood coming from the mouth and nose but I didn't look down and noticed that we broke her sternum enough that her rib cage was poking at both of her sides making her chest look extremely wide and her stomach looked like a beach ball because one of the intubation attempts was unsuccessful and we blew air down her stomach by mistake I knew we were doing it all in an effort to save her but it looked duct up at the same time I went to the ER for high blood pressure / anxiety attack while I was there a teenage girl was being admitted about the same time as me she seemed okay I think complaining about asthma or something both parents were with her did not seem like a big deal and we kind of shared a room overheard the doctor talking to the nurse or whatever about how he knows how teenagers are and kind of rolling his eyes saying it's not what she says she is just hung over / on some kind of drug and doesn't want the parents to know so he calls for some kind of treatment like give her 30 milligrams of oxes tenten or whatever I don't know the medical jargon like 15 minutes later that flatline sound goes off some kind of alarm and all the staff go rushing to her they closed a curtain between us but I could still see the doctor dot s running in and out here everything they finally got her stabilized once again the doctor was by me much more serious this time on the phone consulting with some senior expert like what should I do I gave her this but she is not responding yada yada he gets the advice and repeats it like okay great twenty milligrams of daya phospate or whatever about five minutes later it happened again she flatlined everyone running to her with this big red cart full of like emergency equipment well they tried for like 15 minutes to revive her to no avail the father was screaming like do something and the mom was like Erika if you can hear me come back just give mommy one more hug and so forth anyway she died they had the family come in to visit her and eventually they were like we have to take her away now just the grieving of the parents I can't ever get that out of my head at it they gave her the wrong thing she was actually fine on arrival for me they did nothing two milligrams of xanax and I'm out the door nope the most haunting phrase I can never forget at the end the mom was pleading she's not dead she is just sleeping wake her up duck this is hard to write I made the mistake of reading the audio transcript of a serial rapist I can't remember the name thank God but it was a transcript of the video that this guy would play on a screen in a steel wall dungeon two new victims they would wake up with no clothes in to steal collar and the video plays he goes on and on about how he and his wife just like to play games with them and will probably keep them around a few months and then give them some hard amnesia drugs and set them free again like it's nothing he goes into detail about how futile an escape attempt is he goes into detail about what they and their neighbors were going to do to them over the next months honestly it's hard to go around life pretending like something of that nature doesn't exist that something like this isn't happening somewhere I haven't done anything more than send an occasional email to my state representative about human trafficking whenever I accidentally think of that transcript I know I can do more but I get paralyzed a young woman who jumped in front of a tube train when I was on my way home from work noticed her looking upset and I can recall her looking up at me she was on opposite platform then glancing towards the train that was pulling into the platform she was on one last look up towards our direction then she closed her eyes the minute she moved forward I knew what she was going to do I ducked down to the floor facedown and then heard a huge bang and glass shattering it took nearly an hour for police paramedics and tube staff to get me off the platform as I went into emotional shock and I felt like I was going to pass out and wouldn't stop shaking initially a member of staff tried to get me up off the floor but I just kept screaming at the poor man so he sat on the floor and held me instead paramedics were called as I couldn't stop screaming the place down paramedics had to drug me out on diazepam but even with that any time they tried to get me to look up to get me on my feet to take me out I started screaming again I then noticed blood had gone on my shoes and I had been on opposite platform I kept yelling to take my shoes off so they did eventually the police got hold of some sheets to hold up and blocked my view so I couldn't see the aftermath I got taken to hospital for overnight observation eventually when I got let out the following morning got home without shoes I left them somewhere either at the station or in hospital but I can't recall and when I undressed and took my tights off I noticed dried blood on my legs and part of my right arm it wasn't mine I ended up going into the shower still with my clothes on and seeing blood washing down the drain I still get nightmares a couple of times a year 12 years later even though I got therapy for it I can barely remember the girl's face but I remember her white and pink trainers at the time I was having suicidal thoughts but after that day I vowed to get help with my depression as I didn't want my family to go through the pain sorry for writing the details I have rarely talked about this but needed to let it out [Music]
