People Share The Creepy and Disturbing Family Secrets They Discovered

Families are complicated; sometimes we love them and other times, they get on our nerves. Occasionally, there are times when they shock us with their actions, especially those we didn’t know about.

And while it’s fine for every family to have their secrets, the ones in these stories definitely take the cake as some of the most unbelievable, shocking and even crazy things we’ve ever come across.

They’ve done everything from keeping people in attics to cutting off private parts and starting cults to hiding DNA results that would shock Maury. If you’d like to read about them, just keep scrolling.

The Cult

After my uncle’s death last year, a stranger spilled the beans that he was in charge of a rather horizontally active cult. And his family, including his wife and all his kids, had no clue.

To this day when they visit his grave, they find adult toys there that the wife has to throw in the trash.

Oh Granny!

I recently found out something rather scandalous about my granny and one of her kids. She has six of them, but the oldest looks different. I found out that he had a different father, my grandfather’s brother.

Yes, my grandmother hooked up with and had babies for two brothers. 

The 35-Year-Old Secret

My grandma has a cousin who recently lost her husband. After he passed away from a combination of cancer and old age, his wife found a journal that revealed that he was in a relationship with another man for the past 35 years.

Everyone was in shock because he never gave any indication. 

Fake It Till You Make It

I’ve always said these DNA kits are trouble. My cousin did one a few years back and found out that she had several close relative she had no idea about.

After some digging, she found out that our great grandfather faked his death to get the insurance money and started a new family in another country. He forgot all about his wife (my great grandmother) and kids.
