11 Most Evil People to Ever Walk the Earth

There’s a whole lot of evil in the world.

Ever since the beginning of time, evil has existed. History is full with tales of wicked people who’ve committed unspeakable crimes, even children. They’ve lived among us, and some still do — continuing to lure in their victims with charming and deceptive tactics.

Their crimes are beyond comprehension.

But for some strange reason, society has forever been fascinated with the lives of these sadistic individuals. What motivates someone to slaughter millions of people, or consume a person’s rotting corpse?

“We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow,” said serial killer Ted Bundy.

But after hearing the atrocious crimes these people committed, we think 10 is far more than enough. We’ve included infamous dictators who had absolutely zero regard for others’ safety or welfare, including their own citizens, as well as the most prolific serial killers of the 19th and 20th century.
