Ok, I might need a minute to scroll through my bookmarks
Edit, ok, here we go (this is just from my bookmarks and what feels most "unsettling" to me. I could sit here and link for hours to more things I have "saved" in my head, but I'll leave it at this for now):
List of people who disappeared mysteriously: pre-1910
List of people who disappeared mysteriously: 1910–1990
List of people who disappeared mysteriously: 1990–present
Bonus addition in edit: List of people who disappeared mysteriously at sea
Feral child
I have quite a few pages on serial killers, but this is probably more efficient than listing individuals: List of serial killers by number of victims
A handful of individual cases though:
Murder of Junko Furuta
Murder of Sylvia Likens
Murder of James Bulger
Murder of Shanda Sharer
Hart family murders
On the larger scale:
List of genocides
List of massacres
Blackbirding
Zong massacre
Home Children
starlight tours
On the existential front:
List of impact craters on Earth
Observable universe and Cosmological horizon which make you realise that the endless and abundant expanse of space we see is only a tiny little portion of the actual universe.
The people who dissapeared between 1910 and 1970 however arent very interesting
Yeah, I just noticed that too, not really sure what happened there lol
Looking at it now the post 1970 one isn't right at all, will edit op
