The World's Most Terrifying Psychopaths - Alex Pined
Introduction
Psychopaths are probably the most terrifying of people out there, with less than 1% of the population being deemed to be a psychopath. The frightening thing about a psychopath is that they appear, to all intents and purposes, perfectly normal. Your next-door neighbor could be a psychopath; that person looking at you from the other side of the bus may be a psychopath; the person standing behind you in a queue could be a psychopath.
Psychopaths are experts at blending in, lying and manipulating to a degree where people have very little idea of their tendencies. When many psychopaths are unearthed you will hear their neighbors and friends say how lovely they were and that they had no idea.
Perhaps one of the best examples of psychopaths is from the TV show Dexter
in which Michael C. Hall plays Dexter Morgan. Dexter works as a forensics expert for the police department and uses his position to find people who have escaped justice. He investigates, discovers their guilt and then kills them, yet to his friends and even his sister, he appears perfectly normal and they have no idea of his lethal hobby.
Psychopaths are rarely female, as you will discover later on in this book with men being seven times more likely to have this condition.
Before we launch in to tales of the world’s most terrifying psychopaths, let’s look at what makes a psychopath, how they are different from sociopaths and how you can spot one.
Who knows the next time you will find yourself sitting next to a quiet, unassuming person who is a psychopath? Enjoy reading about the most terrifying psychopaths the world has ever seen!
What Makes A Psychopath?
Psychopaths have a fascination for popular culture being popularized in television and film with stars such as Hannibal Lector, Dexter Morgan and Norman Bates showing how terrifying a psychopath can be. One of the draws about psychopaths is that they can, to all intents and purposes, appear perfectly normal and could be living next door to you and you would never suspect anything!
The most terrifying psychopaths turn their hand to murder and some of the most sickening crimes committed are by psychopaths such as Ted Bundy, Charles Manson and more. However, not all psychopaths choose to murder and some take their frustrations out in other ways.
The word psychopath has entered popular culture and is often used when describing someone, often without a true understanding of what it means and what it implies.
According to the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders psychopathy appears in a definition of Antisocial (Dissocial) Personality Disorder (ASPD):
The essential feature of antisocial personality disorder is a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood. This pattern has also been referred to as psychopathy, sociopathy, or dyssocial personality disorder.
This is a bit of a vague description full of jargon, but ultimately no one really knows what causes a psychopath though it is thought it, at least in part, comes from
