Much like a shapeshifting alien in a horror movie, it can be pretty unsettling when something we recognize morphs into something we don’t, or when it adopts features we wouldn’t have otherwise associated with it.
In this list, we’ll investigate those instances with 15+ everyday things that look impossible to recognize.
