Bundy Effect

The Bundy effect is a psychological and social phenomenon in which an individual’s physical attractiveness, charm, or charisma distracts others from recognizing or acknowledging their dangerous, manipulative, or criminal behavior. Named after serial killer Ted Bundy, who notoriously used his good looks and persuasive demeanor to gain the trust of his victims and manipulate public perception, the Bundy effect highlights how people may underestimate or excuse harmful actions due to superficial traits.

“Despite multiple red flags in his behavior, the Bundy Effect was in full force—everyone was too charmed by his confidence and smile to see the manipulation underneath.”

Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy was an American serial killer who murdered at least 30 young women during the 1970s. He was known for his charming personality, good looks, and intelligence, which helped him gain the trust of his victims. Bundy would typically approach women in public places, sometimes feigning an injury or disability, before overpowering and assaulting them. He often revisited the bodies of his victims and committed acts of necrophilia.

Bundy was eventually caught and put on trial, during which he attempted to defend himself and even proposed marriage to one of the witnesses. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, but managed to escape from prison twice before eventually being executed in 1989. His crimes and notoriety have made him one of the most infamous serial killers in American history.

Ted Bundy was dangerous!
