Herman the Shocker

The Shocker brings you unfiltered views of reality and educational content

from the world of crime, accidents, and forensics

Welcome to my website.

After getting banned on shitstain Reddit for the 100th time and on Patreon I decided to set up my own website so I can continue to bring you all the forensic educational content you all love. Running a website with high traffic is not cheap, you can support by subscribing to the Monthly Magazine or by donating. I will be posting all of my stuff here from my vault so it will take some time to upload everything, it’s a lot!

Please consider donating to keep the website running
