Today some people have a slight tingling in the body, positive nerves to be a different night, fears found with the desire to be the monster or nightmare that most yearn to be, in a relaxed atmosphere and joy, for the end of the day to remember the only night they think they are surrounded by monsters and terrifying characters without being the prey of death. However, they do not know that throughout the year, it is when the real fearsome beasts roam our streets, with which we share the town, sidewalks, subway cars or even work, friendships or family.

We do not want to induce fear in you, but you do open your eyes because we are really surrounded by good but we must never forget evil.

In this article we want to summarize four real and heartbreaking stories of real monsters, those that act when we least expect it and in the most twisted and unimaginable way.

The modern Cannibal of Rothenburg

Armin Meiwes is called by the media sector as the Cannibal of Rotemburgo, due to the murder and subsequent dismemberment and cannibalism of a person, with whom he had contacted by the Internet, to satisfy the fantasies of devouring and being devoured. The curiosity is that Armin had a double life, one with friends hobbies and appearance of normality and in the other where he suffered a serious disorder of their sexual preferences, a paraphilia, everything and being able to control their impulses succumbed to the desire to eat the limb sex of his last victim.

For those most interested in the horrible story, there are many interviews, documentaries and even a movie based on the real story of this murderer, named after his nickname The Cannibal of Rothenburg.

The mythical Jack the ripper

He was a serial killer who committed several crimes in London in 1888. The victims had their internal organs surgically removed. After analyzing them, it was concluded that he would be a middle-aged, well-groomed and respectable man with a harmless appearance. He probably had the habit of wearing a coat or coat because otherwise, the blood of his clothes and hands would have attracted the attention of people.

The sectarian, Charles Manson

This serial killer reached a level of evil that many other murderers failed to achieve. He was the leader of a sect, at the end of the 60s, and generally sheltered people who had deep emotional problems and who were always against their relatives. With that Manson could convince them to release their murderous instincts. After each crime, they committed they would usually write messages on the walls of the murder site with the blood of the victims.

The black widow, Mary Ann Cotton

Mary Ann, is the best-known serial killer of all time. This Englishwoman murdered more than 20 people, including her own children, using arsenic. Among the deaths are also three husbands, a lover and various children. The latter killed them to get insurance money. 

Do you think they are spying on your company? Well, then this article is for you. Let's talk about "electronic sweeps", a useful way to eliminate suspicions of espionage. But what is actually the electronic sweep? In short, it is the execution of inspections and searches in order to detect, locate and (if necessary) eliminate spy devices. It is the most important security countermeasure since it looks for active espionage instruments, intrusive systems that capture information, eavesdropping and telephone punctures. It can be applied as a preventive measure or as a secondary measure when there is a suspicion of information leakage.

 The truth is that our society is increasingly transgressive when it comes to our privacy since hundreds of companies that offer spy equipment accessible to all or type of people are observed. Therefore, it is essential to hire qualified personnel with adequate technical equipment, when there is suspicion about a possible espionage case, be it the simplest or the most complex. The professionals who are responsible for these sweeps are usually private detectives, among others, hired to detect video and / or audio transmissions, cameras, hidden microphones and other systems susceptible to espionage, since detailed knowledge is essential for the detection of this equipment as the means of espionage and the places where to install them.

 The electronic sweeps include from a physical record of the facilities to the analysis of the origin of eventual recordings and location of these devices. In addition, you can also do the tracking of microphones in vehicles or locate hidden GPS systems. It is often possible to install countermeasure equipment, such as equipment that generates noise and prevents understanding and/or recording conversations. 

The causes for which electronic sweeps are made are diverse, but the main ones are information leaks, dishonest workers, leaks to the press and patent registration. 

Espionage is booming so the precautions of large companies are increasingly justified, taking measures to prevent it.

The reasons why young people postpone their parents leaving the house are the most varied, from the later marriages, the increase of schooling, the higher living costs or even the maternity in older age, all contribute to that the adult phase starts later than the supposed one. Whether due to emotional or economic factors, the truth is that several young people reach the age of 30 and still live with their family. 

Many of them continue to depend entirely on their parents, never having worked in life, not having any kind of economy, others, however, despite having some financial independence, choose to continue living in the parents' house because they feel more comfortable in this way. All of them are accommodated in this situation and in some cases even the parents themselves adapt to this condition of life, preferring it to be perpetuated. 

There are many cases in which young people choose to live in their parents' homes until later age due to the valorization of university education to the detriment of secondary education, which increases the likelihood of a more comfortable life in the future. They are encouraged to study for more years, because the process for a good academic education is long, which delays their entry into the labor market and consequently to the said "adult world". Of course, all this brings its disadvantages, as in the case of finance charges that are being postponed, many of them even ponder what will be the advantage of leaving their parents' house if they can continue to enjoy youth without truly taking responsibility for their self-supply since parents do it for them. Many do not even see advantages in becoming "adults" so soon. 

There are some cases in which parents are comfortable with this type of situation, believing that in a way that is a way of showing love for their children, in other situations parents have to resort to justice to ensure that their children do something with their lives, without their dependence on them forever.

The most popular case today and in analogy with this issue, occurred in the United States, where the parents of a young man had to go to court to get his son out of the house. According to the parents, the young man, 30 years old, did not work, did not study, and did so little in domestic tasks. Fed up with this situation and after constant warnings that he would have to leave the house, all of them without success, they had no alternative but to resort to the court. Luckily justice gave them the right and the son had to finally pack and leave home permanently from his parents.

Another similar process, which took place here in Spain relatively recently, deals with a subject that is a little more sensitive. A young woman, also of 30 years of age, who with scant school performance and despite her age, never joined the labor market or even finished her academic training. This girl, daughter of separated parents, continued living in her mother's house and receiving a pension from her father. However, given the financial situation of his father, who lived in absolute poverty because the little he was earning was almost entirely for the daughter's alimony, the court considered that it was not necessary to continue maintaining that pension.

In fact, the law does not oblige parents to take care of their children who are of age in an unlimited and absolute way.

So you know ... think twice before having children because they may raise ravens and take their eyes out.
