We all have varying definitions of what is “interesting.” Some of us are fascinated by facts that explain what makes the world go round, while others are mesmerized by stories that fuel their morbid and strange curiosities.

These were all lifted from the For Curious Souls subreddit, a growing online community that draws a reader’s attention through the peculiarities of the world. And yes, some of them can be quite grim, making their narratives all the more compelling.

Humans are not the only animals that go to war. In the 1970s, two groups of chimpanzees fought a prolonged conflict, famously known as the Gombe Chimpanzee War, which lasted four years.

40-year mystery of three children abandoned at a Barcelona train station and their missing parents.
In 1984, three siblings—Elvira (2), Ramón (4), and Ricard (5)—were abandoned at Barcelona’s Estació de França train station by a Frenchman named Denis, a friend of their father. He told them to wait while he bought sweets, but he never returned.
Dressed in designer clothes, the children spoke of Paris but could not name their parents or address.
They were placed in care, later adopted by a loving Barcelona family, and grew up with only fragments of memory: luxury cars, road trips to snowy Switzerland and Belgium, a grandmother who made them drink milk, their father coming home beaten, boxes of jewels, and even a pistol they once fired by accident.
Official abandonment papers described Elvira as a healthy two-year-old, with the odd habit of sleeping crosswise in bed. The documents said the children and their father had lived with Denis’s family before being left. They hadn’t seen their mother “for a while”.

On March 25, 2015, 18‑year‑old Brittney Jane Gargol was found on the side of Cedar Villa Estates Road near Valley Road in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She was discovered by a passerby suffering serious injuries and transported to hospital, where she later died.
Cheyenne Antoine, a close friend of Gargol’s and then‑21 years old, became the primary suspect. Authorities charged her with second‑degree murder and causing an indignity to a body.
Antoine initially denied involvement and remained silent during early interviews.
However, a breakthrough came months later when Antoine’s aunt reported that she had confessed to strangling Brittney with her belt; Antoine was reportedly “drunk, crying, upset,” and “saying that she had strangled her friend.”
The case took another turn when detectives focused on a belt featured in a selfie Brittney had posted hours before her death – the same belt later confirmed via DNA testing to belong to Antoine.
In January 2018, Antoine pleaded guilty to manslaughter in exchange for a reduced charge and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
