Ohhh Carl Tanzler — now that’s one of the creepiest love stories you’ll ever hear, and not in a romantic way. Buckle up.

Carl Tanzler (also spelled Tänzler), a German-born radiology technician in Florida in the 1930s, became obsessed with a young Cuban-American woman named Elena Hoyos, who was a patient at the hospital where he worked. She had tuberculosis, which was a death sentence back then, and despite his best (and very bizarre) efforts to "cure" her, she died in 1931.
