Why do you think people have such morbid curiosities for some of the stories? It's funny. I think that as humans, there is a desire to be frightened in a safe, controlled environment. What's more terrifying than seeing real people had something random and abrupt that happened to anyone, happened to them. Someone brazed into their house or they go to some off-limits part of a park and fall off a cliff or something. That could happen to me, but I'm safe. My guide, in this case, me, is telling me, like buddy to buddy, telling you a story about this horrible thing. You get the thrill of fear and anxiety, but it's not real. It's the same reason we flock to scary movies in movie theaters, because you want to be scared, but only because it's actually not real. But your brain processes fear the same way. You get real fear, real shot of adrenaline, but the comfort of real safety. But I do think it's a human trait. I think that humans have a morbid curiosity, and I don't think that's wrong. I think it's part of being human. That fucked with me a bit. I love.
