ted bundy’s behavior in court has always been so interesting to me

[bundyszn-blog]

Hugh Aynesworth : I read an interesting evaluation of you by a former friend of yours, a woman writer, and she…

Ted Bundy (interrupts) : Yeah, I know what you mean. I don’t know where in hell she got her facts about me, about anything - but she approached me and wanted me to contribute to the book she was writing. I’m just glad I didn’t waste my time. The ship deep she calls fact! I don’t care who you are, if you can’t see that the great bulk of my personality is alert and vital and reality-oriented and normal, then there’s really something wrong with your analysis or whatever psychiatric model you’re trying to use. I do have a conscience. It may have gaps in it, but I have a very strong conscience!

Eric’s Journal Broken Down Pt. 2

So for ease of finding all the pieces of this post, if you go to my main page (on desktop) look for the featured post section, and click on the little picture of Eric and it will bring all of the parts up! Let’s jump back into the next set of lines, also from April 10, 1998.

Call it existentialism or whatever the fuck you want. We know what we are to this world and what everyone else is. We learn more than what caused the civil war and how to simplify quadratics in school. We have been watching you people. We know what you think and how you act. All talk and no actions. People who are said to be brave or courageous are usually just STUPID

This is another nod to Eric’s feelings of superiority. Personally, I feel that alot of this was mostly bravado.

This next point is mostly psychology based conjecture but I thought I’d include it here. In the end he talks about people who are brave or courageous, which some might call heroes. It’s interesting that during the massacre, many of the people they shot were attempting to help others. Dave Sanders evacuated the cafeteria and cleared the calls. Corey DePooter was trying to keep his friends calm. Daniel Mauser tried to kick a chair at Eric. These people are all sometimes referred to as heroes. So, my theory is that Eric hated heroes because he never had one. I believe he felt betrayed that no one ever helped him when he needed it. This is just a theory, but I wanted to include it.

It’s also interesting that there are some parallels with Dylan’s writing that shows how close they were. The way Eric describes knowing what people do and how they think implies omniscience. Which is a quality of God in many religions. Dylan also referred to himself as a god quite often in his journal. Eric doesn’t explicitly call himself that in this passage, but it’s similar enough to make note of.

7 terrifying phases that serial killers experience

In the 1980s, a psychologist named Joel Norris identified seven psychological phases that serial killers experience as they commit their crimes. They offer a terrifying glimpse into the minds of those capable of unthinkable evil.

1. Aura Phase

The first phase serial killers experience is withdrawal from reality. It may go unnoticed by those closest to them, but life has lost all meaning for the killer. Their senses are heightened. Violent fantasies begin to form and they feel the urge to act on them.

2. Trolling Phase

This is the phase in which the killer starts to search for their victim as well as looking for a place to commit the crime or dump their body. This phase can last for months or just days, until the would-be serial killer has found the perfect victim.

3. Wooing Phase

This is when the killer sets out to gain the victim’s trust to put them at ease before attacking them. They may present themselves as charming, wanting to help – or harmless and in need to help themselves. This phase is experienced by only the most organised serial killers.

4. Capture Phase

In this phase, the killer reveals his true sadistic self. The victim becomes incapacitated, whether  knocked unconscious or restrained or trapped somewhere.

5. Murder Phase

This is the phase where the murder takes place. Organised killers often chose to kill their victims slowly, causing them much suffering and torture before they die. Whereas disorganised killers are more likely to kill their victims instantly and commit further acts, such as necrophilia or mutilation, on their corpses.

6. Totem Phase

In the totem phase, the thrill of the kill begins to dissipate for serial killers. To keep some of the excitement, they will often take a souvenir from their victims, such as the clothes they were wearing or newspaper stories about the crime. These serve to remind the killer of the moment they made their warped fantasy real.

7. Depression Phase

The final phase in the cycle. The anticlimax causes a depression in the serial killer who comes to feel that his fantasy was not properly fulfilled. Some may even kill themselves in this phase. Those who don’t, will soon begin to experience the violent fantasies of the aura phase and the cycle begins again…
