23 Shocking Things People Confessed From Their Deathbed

I went to the same barber for 4 years and one day it was just closed. Typical barber shop with old magazines, green leather chair, talkative barber with a veterans hat who gave cuts to cops either free or discounted, I don’t know. Turns out he was loosely affiliated with the mob and one of his buddies confessed on his deathbed of a couple hits back in the day. My nice old barber went up the river.

My grandfather was in the hospital in a pretty nasty state. He barely could speak, but he made it clear to us he had something to say. He had my mother get him a piece of paper and a pen. Thinking he has some important words to leave us with in case he doesn’t have the chance later, my mom does just that. There’s silence in the room as he scribbles something onto the paper, with my mother and her two siblings waiting in anticipation. My grandfather finishes, and with a big smile turns the paper for us to see. “I’ve got a girlfriend.” It read, as he pointed to Anna, a neighbor and friend of his.

In Norway in 2005, a man asked his nurses to invite the police over to his room, and he then confessed to raping and killing two girls almost 30 years earlier. Not only that, but another man had been convicted of both crimes and spent 18 years in prison.

My grandma confessed to my mom when she thought she was dying (she got better) that she tried to coathanger abort her. Obviously it was unsuccessful. My grandma was a religious woman, and decided that God wanted her to have this baby, and treated my mom like her favorite child. This messed my mom up for a while, and it was even more awkward when my grandma surprisingly got better. After Grandma died for real, my mom eventually made peace with it. After she was born, Grandma never treated her like she was unwanted, so mom understood she was in a vulnerable place at the time (Mom was the seventh child in a poor family. Yay the time before birth control).
