Scary Files

On January 24, 1989, Ted Bundy died at Florida State Prison, bringing an end to one of the most widely known criminal cases in U.S. history.

Convicted in multiple homicide cases, Bundy had received a death sentence from Edward Cowart, who described his actions as “extremely wicked, shockingly evil, and vile.” That phrase would become permanently associated with the case.

In his final hours, Bundy remained composed. He made phone calls, spoke with investigators, and gave additional statements about the case—some of which were viewed as attempts to delay the scheduled sentence. When offered a final statement, he expressed love for his family but did not directly address those harmed or their families.

That morning, he was led into the chamber where the sentence would be carried out. Witnesses observed in silence as the procedure took place.

At 7:06 a.m., the sentence was carried out.

Outside the prison, crowds had gathered—some holding signs, others reacting as news spread. The response reflected how deeply the case had affected the public. For many, it was a sense of justice. For others, it raised difficult questions about punishment, closure, and the lasting impact of violent acts.

While that day marked the end of Bundy’s life, it did not erase what had happened.

The victims and their families were left with a legacy that extended far beyond a single moment. Cases like this continue to be studied—not to sensationalise—but to understand, to remember, and to prevent future harm.

Because the true story is not about the man himself—
but about the lives affected, and the lessons that must never be forgotten.

These pictures were taken at Alcatraz prison. A ghost-like figure appearing at the window of an Alcatraz prison block has baffled the couple who took it. The spooky picture was taken by Sheila Sillery-Walsh at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, off the coast of San Francisco, California.
In the spooky image, the shadowy girl can be seen staring directly through the window at the camera from inside the inmates' visitation waiting room. Teaching assistant Sheila Sillery-Walsh from Birmingham took the photo on her iPhone 5c when she visited the former prison in April while on holiday in San Francisco with her partner, Paul Rice........ Thoughts?

Hello - I would like your thoughts on this photograph taken at Brymbo Social Club Wrexham. Zoom in on the windows behind the guy sitting in the background - there's not just the main ghost looking through the window but lots of faces and images 4/5 at last count ! I was present when this was taken and the only thing beyond the windows is a huge carpark. *Please note that all comedic comments will be removed*
