As a kid (and even as an adult), being home alone was paradise: no parents, no chores, food everywhere, and all the time in the world to do anything you wanted. However, nothing makes all this turn into a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-nightmare-photos/boo-radley">nightmare</a> faster than hearing a bump in the night or seeing a dark silhouette at the end of the hallway.&nbsp;Here are some <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1oczze/whats_the_creepiest_thing_that_happened_to_you/" target="_blank">creepy</a>&nbsp;&quot;alone in the house&quot;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1etayx/whats_the_most_terrifying_home_alone_experience/" target="_blank">stories</a>&nbsp;told by those who were just sitting at home all by themselves, when they encountered something that definitely would not help them sleep.

Psych wards have a bad reputation in general, and these true psych ward stories won't do anything to fix it. While those who stay in psych wards can have any number of debilitating issues, or can even be put there unjustly, the way <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-psych-ward-stories/dukeharten">these places are managed</a> and run can be the stuff of nightmares. These <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-true-stories-from-the-world/rosa-pasquarella?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">creepy true stories</a> from psych ward&nbsp;patients are enough to keep anyone up at night.&nbsp;Redditors have shared their <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-psych-ward-stories/dukeharten?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">scary mental hospital</a> stories, ranging from the unsettling to the terrifying, and it is no joke. From violent and strange roommates&nbsp;to lifelong patients and attempted escapes,&nbsp;a lot of these stories sound like something straight out of a horror movie.&nbsp;While much of what leads to people being sent to psych wards and what happens while there can be tragic and disturbing, it's clear that many facilities have no idea how to actually help&nbsp;the mentally ill. Rather than receiving&nbsp;any help, many&nbsp;patients do and say whatever they have to just so they don't have to endure the facility anymore. Take a look at these terrifying real life tales of those who have stayed in psych wards, as told by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/15rlf0/reddit_for_those_of_you_who_have_spent_time_in_a/?">the Redditors who experienced them</a>.&nbsp;

Why does the building&nbsp;parking garage&nbsp;you’ve walked through a million times&nbsp;get&nbsp;so terrifying the moment the sun goes down? Have those places always been full of an inky dread, and&nbsp;does the blackness of night simply remove&nbsp;any illusion of safety?

Science and lore collide when it comes to imagining what kind of creatures lurk in the deepest, darkest reaches of the sea. Some of the world's underwater trenches&nbsp;may as well be outer space -&nbsp;we've made&nbsp;more expeditions to the moon than the ocean floor.In so-called deep-sea gigantism, or abyssal gigantism, scientists have discovered abnormally large organisms living peacefully at depths of anywhere from 1,000 to 36,000 feet. To gather information about abyssal gigantism, researchers&nbsp;gleaned&nbsp;studies of the&nbsp;washed-up carcasses of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horrifying-creatures-found-in-the-deep-sea/laura-allan" target="_blank">these</a><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horrifying-creatures-found-in-the-deep-sea/laura-allan" target="_blank"> ghastly creatures</a>, which include colossal squids reaching 50 feet in length, as well as&nbsp;huge deep-sea-dwelling invertebrates, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/giant-woodlouse-isopod/eric-vega" target="_blank">such as the giant isopod</a>.&nbsp;Typically,&nbsp;organisms adapt to such depths by becoming smaller, but scientists have a few theories behind the cause of deep-sea gigantism. These organisms mostly comprise water, so there's little risk of being crushed by deep-sea&nbsp;pressure.&nbsp;One theory&nbsp;known as Kleiber's Rule&nbsp;says the larger&nbsp;the animal, the slower its metabolism, which makes sense for deep-sea creatures with a scarce&nbsp;food supply.Another theory is Bergman's Rule, which states larger creatures are typically found in colder environments. It's&nbsp;another method of efficiency - bigger animals radiate less heat per unit of mass, so they're&nbsp;able to stay warmer in cool climates.Scientists have yet to form conclusive statements about the cause of this phenomenon.

Located deep under the Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench harbors some of the most enigmatic and creepy creatures known to science. This mysterious ocean abyss stretches nearly 36,000 feet below the surface, a realm where sunlight never penetrates. It is in this murky darkness that scientists have discovered a variety of unusual animals known as Mariana Trench creatures. These Mariana Trench ocean creatures have adapted in extraordinary ways to the crushing pressure and perpetual darkness, making this underwater frontier a hotbed of biological marvels.

From bioluminescent predators to gelatinous giants, the animals in the Mariana Trench are astounding. The list of these Mariana Trench animals is as diverse as it is fascinating. Each species boasts individual adaptations that make survival in such a hostile environment possible. Some of these creatures have peculiarities like transparent skulls or mouths lined with sharp, needle-like teeth. Their unsettling appearances are only matched by their intriguing survival strategies. For instance, some Mariana Trench creatures utilize bioluminescence to lure prey, creating a ghostly glow that pierces through the eternal night of the deep ocean.

Consider the barre-leye fish, a creature that seems plucked straight from a <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-science-fiction-novels-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">science fiction novel</a>. With its transparent, fluid-filled head and upward-facing eyes, it can spot prey from below without being detected. Equally bizarre is the fanfin seadevilf, a tiny angler fish adorned with filamentous, tendril-like fins and a bioluminescent lure on its head to attract unsuspecting victims. Lastly, the granrojo jellyfish, with its red, bell-shaped body and pumping, gelatinous movements, adds an ethereal touch to the enigmatic biodiversity of the trench. These are just a few examples of the creatures that make the Mariana Trench a subject worthy of fascination.

The diversity and unusual adaptations of the Mariana Trench animals paint a captivating picture of life in the ocean&#39;s deepest chasms. These creepy creatures not only underscore the complexity and resilience of life but also highlight the continuous wonders waiting to be discovered in our planet&#39;s unexplored depths.
