The Halloween season may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad time to get scared! Checking out some spooky pics is something you can do at any time of the year.
So sit back, relax, and prepare for some scares and uncomfortable atmospheres. Just don’t blame me if you end up being too scared to go to sleep tonight.
“I found this advertisement for running shoes to be deeply unsettling.”
I want to believe that they didn’t make this ad creepy on purpose. But I’d also totally believe it if they did.
Finally, something that might actually make me take up running (for my life).
“A dam near me broke after a hurricane and drained a pond, exposing the full trunk and roots of these cypress trees.”
This is so creepy because it’s something we shouldn’t be able to see. Those roots should be under ground (or underwater), and they just… aren’t.
I mean, it’s also kind of cool. But mostly creepy.
“Miniature Baba Yaga treehouse.”
Yeah, I don’t like anything about this. I mean, it’s at the very least well-executed. But those chicken (?) feet look a little too real and it’s creeping me out big time. So, uh, no thanks.
“This shop window I just came across.”
See, I don’t know if this is better or worse than regular store mannequins. On one hand, this is creepier than a mannequin display. But on the other hand, the pieces probably can’t come to life at night and try to kill us.
No big deal, just a person holding a spider.
How anyone can just… have a spider chilling on their hand like this is beyond me. I can’t even look at a spider without breaking out into a cold sweat. This person must be braver than the Navy Seals.
The way this statue broke…
Something about that vacant expression is making me very uncomfortable. It’s almost like a person who’s completely unfazed by the fact that both of their kneecaps got snapped clean. Yeah, this is just wrong on so many levels.
“Trees have vascular systems.”
I don’t know if these are actual tree veins or if this is edited in some way, but it’s still really spooky. It looks like pasta, or, like, a lot of really long worms. And yeah, I just don’t like it.
“Clam covered mannequin head that washed up on shore.”
See, this right here is why I think mannequins are among the creepiest things we as a species has ever invented. They don’t look like people, and yet they look just enough like people that if a mannequin head covered in clams washed up on the beach, it would freak everyone out.
“Ominous energy [from these] train tracks into the woods early in the morning.”
Yeah, I don’t like the vibe here. It feels like a ghost train is going to pull up at any second, and it’s either going to bring you to the afterlife, or it’s going to chase you down (and then bring you to the afterlife, I guess).
This little piggy bank that’s missing his snout.
With a nose and mouth, a piggy bank looks cute and unassuming. Without a nose and mouth, though, it just looks like it’s in constant agony. I’m both creeped out and full of pity at the sight of this thing.
“Ad for American Radiators, 1926.”
This literally just looks like a bunch of ghost children are coming out of this radiator. Like, I can’t even tell what the point of the ad was supposed to be. Why are there kids phasing out of the radiator? I need answers!
“This dog jacket hanging from a chair.”
On a dog, it’s a cute accessory that also keeps the pooch warm on a cold day. Hanging on the end of a chair, though, it looks like the face from that paining. You know, ‘The Scream’? So spooky.
This pile of snow with a perfect face imprint in it.
I want to think that some kid fell and got a face-full of snow (or maybe they did it on purpose). But it also just looks like the face of some snow ghost. And that’s the last thing this world needs.
RELATED STORIES
Nothing like a single balloon in the middle of nowhere.
I’ve seen enough horror movies to know that this can only end in one thing: a demon clown dragging you into the sewers. But don’t worry, you’ll float down there; we all will…
Whoa, what’s that thing in all that moss!?
It looks like a person, but it’s definitely just a weird log or tree trunk that’s been covered in moss. I mean, even if it isn’t, that’s what I’m going to tell myself.
“Just some regular rubber gloves washing accidentally opened the gate of hell.”
This just made me never want to do laundry again, and I actually like doing laundry (clean clothes are nice). But I’m going to keep thinking about this every time I open up my top loader, so thanks for that.
“Weird book I found online. It translates to: ‘Swapping bodies with animals.'”
This is definitely… a weird book. On one hand, all the art is super well-done. But literally everything else about this is just wrong, man. People should not be made to look like animals. Not like this.
The way this dog is standing.
It’s the combination of the long face, shaggy arm hair, and the fact that the dog is standing that makes it look like some kind of ghost demon thing. I’m sure it’s a perfectly nice dog otherwise, though.
“Route I used took [*sic*] take to come home from work.”
There are at least three different structures in this picture that look vaguely humanlike in this fog. I couldn’t imagine walking along this route at any given time. I’d constantly feel like I was being followed.
“Hands free phone mask from the 1950s.”
The idea behind it is nice, but this execution is just… well, it’s nightmare fuel. Imagine wearing this while getting any kind of bad news. It would probably also ruin any kind of good news, too.
