Creepiest/Most Disturbing Recordings
On The Interwebz
2. The Brick Video
The husband in "brick video." A man is driving with his wife and child and a brick smashes through the windshield and explodes the wife's head. The cries of the husband and child are the sound of true despair. Don't Google it if you have any empathy whatsoever or it'll f-up your week. The idea that people walk onto overpasses and drop bricks off them intentionally is absolutely crazy, but frighteningly common.
Multiple warnings not to watch:
Do not take the warning lightly if you haven't seen it. It is heart wrenching.

"Here's what will happen if you click:
You will hear the very moment a man's mind drops from sane to panic. From normal to nothing more than sadness, anger, despair, and insanity. You will hear a child cry in the background, over the panicked cries of a full grown man not sure of what to do. You will watch a moment that has likely scarred another human being for life.
-Watch at your own discretion. It is your choice, after all."
3. Castle Doctrine Trap- Byron David Smith
3. Castle Doctrine Trap- Byron David Smith
Byron David Smith recording his killing of two teenage intruders in his house. Apparently his house had been burglarized a few times and he decided to make it appear like he was out of the house on Thanksgiving and then kill whoever came into his house. He recorded the whole thing as a way to prove his innocence under the castle doctrine.
After he shot the second intruder she can be heard begging for her life while Smith apologizes, except he's not apologizing for killing her but because his gun jammed and it wasn't a clean kill.
Turns out the castle doctrine doesn't apply if you deliberately set a trap, lie in wait and then summarily execute the intruder after they stopped being a threat. The recordings he thought would prove his innocence actually ended up convicting him and he's now serving life in prison.
Probably pretty disturbing but if you must: here you go
4. The Buzzer
UVB-76, also known as "the Buzzer", is the nickname given by radio listeners to a shortwave radio station that broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz.[1][2] It broadcasts a short, monotonous About this sound buzz tone (help·info), repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, 24 hours per day.[1] Sometimes, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place.[3] The first reports were made of a station on this frequency in 1982.[4] Its origins have been traced to Russia, and although several theories with varying degrees of plausibility exist, its actual purpose has never been officially confirmed and remains a source of speculation.[5]
Just before Russia invaded Ukraine the tone changed.
5. 9/11 Calls to 911
Kevin Cosgrove's phone call to 911 in the 9/11 attack. You can hear the tower collapsing, and his last words. It's absolutely sobering.
