10 Gaming Glitches That Will Totally Freak You Out

6. The Headless Wife - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvM2rQf4rHM&feature=player_embedded Either this is a ridiculous glitch, or Bethesda have taken the meaning of "till death do us part" a little too literally and imbued some propaganda in their game. It appears that this wife in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim gives Overly Attached Girlfriend a run for her money as far as clinginess goes; apparently lopping her head off with a giant-ass sword wasn't enough of a hint that the marriage was over, so she keeps following you around, indeed, headless. Throughout the video, it's clear that no amount of combat will do away with her, even when it's self-defence, so at the end, it calls for the protagonist to lure his other half to the edge of a mountain, and "FUS RO-DAH!" her all the way to Hell. A great way to make a rather creepy and frankly quite annoying glitch freaking hilarious.
