Bizarre Traditions From Around The World That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

There are many communities with very strange traditions and rituals. Some of them we can't even imagine.




Check out some of them here.


Bhutans Night Hunting



This culture is also popular as Bomena in east of Himalayas. People who are looking to marry in the recent future, break into houses of young girls at night. They stay there the whole night, but in case, someone catches them red-handed, they have to either marry that girl or work for the girl's father as a form of punishment.

This tradition has been criticised negatively by a lot of people since it increases the number of events of sexual abuse in the country.

Thaipusam



This is popular in South India and South East Asia. This event celebrates the victory of Lord Murugan over a demon. People use sharp objects to pierce different parts of their bodies. In fact, some people even perform extreme and risky tasks such as pulling cars using hooks which have been pierced to their backs.

Bullet Ant Gloves



This is practiced by a tribe in Amazon known as Satere-Mawe. To prove their manhood once the boys become adults, they have to undergo a torturous task, where these boys have to trap bullet ants. These are drug by a person and are then kept in woven mitts.

The ants get their name from their deadly sting it is said that the pain caused by the sting is comparable to the pain caused a bullet. These men then wear the mitts filled with these ants, and they have to dance for the next ten minutes continuously. The dance is necessary to distract their minds from the pain.

Prohibited from entering the bathroom after wedding



This is practised in Indonesia by the Tidong community. The couple is not allowed to enter the bathroom for three days after their wedding. They are kept under heavy supervision by their relatives. After three days, they can continue going to the bathroom as usual. This is practiced to keep away bad luck.

Eat the deceased



Can you imagine not burying the dead and eating them instead? This is practiced by the Yanomami tribe in the Amazon rainforest. They believe that the deceased shouldn't be buried. Instead, there should be no physical remains of their bodies in this planet. That is why, they eat the dead, and the bone powder is turned into soup. They think that the soul of the dead stays with them by performing this ritual.

Pen!s Festival



Also known as Kanamara Matsuri, this is popular in Japan. A large structure, shaped like a pen!s is carried by people through the streets of the city. According to the legends, a demoness used to seduce men and kill them, and she was stopped only by a metal pen!s to destroy her special weapon.

This is also popular among sex workers since they believe this festival will keep away STDs and protect them.

Tossing Toddlers



This is an extremely dangerous but old tradition which is still practiced in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. Toddlers are tossed almost 15-30 feet upwards and then caught by a blanket held by people. This is extremely risky for the toddlers. Hence it was banned in 2011. However, the practice once again started from 2012. The people believe that this brings good luck to the toddler.

Famadihana



This is practiced in July and September Hauts Plateaux of Madagascar. During this event, instead of burying the deceased, their remains are exhumed and then wrapped in cloth. Relatives also take time to ask their dead ancestors for blessings and things they might need in the world of the living. Rather than mourning for the dead, this event turns it into a form of party for celebration.

Tooth Filing



During the marriage, both men and women in Bali have to sharpen their teeth by filing. People believe that these represent their control over emotions, greed, and lust. As expected, this is extremely painful.

Gerewol Festival



This is similar to a modern-day fashion show, where men participate. This is practiced by the Wodaabe tribe, where the men have to dress properly and show the women how they look. There is also a dance competition known as Yaake. The combination of dancing skills and appearance is the ultimate factor in picking the winner.

Photos of Guilty People Who Thought No One Was Watching


Face it: We all do weird stuff when we think we're alone. It may not seem that weird or odd to us, but for someone who happens to stumble upon our questionable behavior, things can get pretty awkward in a hurry.

We all have that movie.



You know, that movie that puts us on edge, even though we’ve seen it a thousand times? It can be from any genre but don’t pretend like you’re unfamiliar with this pose.

Mixed reactions.



Well, if you were looking for the full spectrum of human emotions, you just found it with the guy representing “sadness” on the left, and the girls representing “joy” on the right end of the scale.

Sometimes, dads forget they're dads.




This one clearly got transported back to a more innocent and worry-free time. I mean, look at the expression on his face. You can’t coach that!


He had good intentions, at least!



The older you get, the easier it is to sleep almost anywhere. I swear that dads can fall asleep easier than babies can. Normally not when they’re gearing up for a jog, but…whatever.

This one made the rounds.



The guy in the background may have technically been conscious when this photo was taken, but something tells me it wasn’t in the front of his mind when he woke up.


Busted!



Watching cartoons is one thing, but doing it with headphones and a little snack is something else altogether. Did he ever find out this photo was taken?

Majestic AF



If this guy didn’t know a camera was on him, I’m going to guess that he lives a pretty dramatic existence. I mean, who just does something like this casually?

"What?"




If that’s a crime scene, as the original tweeter states, then it’s the most adorable crime scene in the history of the world. If only all crime was this cute.

Side chick?




This might be the most innocent nap in the world, but that dog looks guilty of SOMETHING. We just need to know what it is. Have you checked the trash?

Dad's gone off the deep end.



I don’t know what’s going on here, but if he’s standing on that table to work on his golf game, someone needs to buy him one of those little putting greens before he breaks his neck.


I guess this dad knew the camera was on him.



But what he didn’t know is that Mom would find out about this pic long after the fact, creating a whole new set of unintended consequences.


Napping? Guilty as charged!




I can’t advise that everyone goes through a sleeping stranger’s phone to text their spouse, but in this instance, it’s pretty darn funny, isn’t it?

Necessity is the mother of invention.




No sleeping masks? No problem. The bigger mystery here is how someone can sleep straight on their back like that. He looks like a corpse!

Caught Dad being a hero.



Something tells me Dad would be elsewhere if it wasn’t for those pesky kids. But as it is, he’s chillin’ out, watchin’ cartoons, and probably having a blast.

Whoa. Trainwreck.



Man, I really hope this pic looks worse than the actual events were, because if it’s not, that girl’s in for a rough morning. That is, if she wakes up before noon.

"Persuading."



I have to hand it to that guy and his awesome powers of persuasion. That’s a pretty neat trick. Kudos to the pup for playing along!

Bath time?



Something tells me this dude didn’t think he was going to get away with such a difficult feat undetected.

He looks happy, though, and our judgment will never change that.


That stare!



That’s the type of stare men come back with after they’ve been away at war for far too long. That’s the look of a man who’s been changed by a tragedy.

Pauley Perrette played the fan favorite, Abby Sciuto, the loveliest forensic scientist ever, but certainly for NCIS.
Her character was adored for her brains, her gothic style, and all the nuances of her character – she quit the show after 15 years. It is easy to see why she was ideal for the role, having been an undergrad honor student in sociology, psychology, and criminal science – her character has the same degrees, but got PhDs in some of the fields, obviously.
