Madame de Pompadour didn't just share King Louis XV's bed, she also shared his power. As the most commanding mistress in the French court, she bettered the lives of many and became a beloved figure in European history and pop culture. But what do we really know about this fascinating woman?
When someone really pushes our buttons, we'd like to think that we'd hold our head high and turn the other cheek, but revenge is so, so sweet.
From creepiness to full-on horror, these inexplicable moments will not be forgotten by the people who lived through them—not now, not ever.
Nothing stays hidden forever—and these dark family secrets are proof that when the truth comes out, it can range from devastating to utterly chilling.
There’s nothing worse than a spoiled brat—and as these stories prove, their behavior can range from utterly absurd to incredibly disturbing.
Some people lie to spare a person's feelings, others just lie to cover their tracks or for the thrill of deceiving someone. But the truth always surfaces...
Voices in the dark. Macabre souvenirs. Campers and hikers share their creepiest experiences, and we never want to go in the woods again.
