It’s a weird part of human nature: even though we find spooky stuff, well…. spooky , we also take some sort of enjoyment in viewing it. I don’t know if it’s morbid curiosity or what. But whatever it may be, the images below might just give you the spooks. You’ve been warned.
What.
This is a real thing, and while it may look like we’ve found conclusive proof of the Jersey Devil’s existence, the reality is far more benign: it’s just a dried-out stingray.
Sorry to bother you.
A Redditor posted this image, saying they were out for a walk on a dark and cloudy night, only to find their neighbor casually standing on their roof. You do you, neighbor lady.
At least it’s labelled.
Sure, it might be a tad disconcerting to find an ominous tiny hole that leads to a series of underground catacombs. But at least the signage is on point, even if the name isn’t very welcoming.
Stay away.
Geese can be pretty annoying with their honking and generally irritable nature. But it turns out they’ve got teeth — not just along their jawline but, somehow, along the sides of their tongues as well.
We’ve all been there.
Maybe you haven’t visualized what your skull looked like when you were losing your baby teeth. Well, now you know what it looks like: pure nightmare fuel. You’re welcome.
Waking the dead.
Cemeteries are peaceful places. By their design as eternal resting places, nothing much is supposed to go on. Sometimes nature has other plans, though, and raises the dead in the rudest possible way.
Wrong house.
The more I look at this, the more I like it as a deterrent to thieves. You could leave your windows open all night and nobody would come in if this was on the other side.
Due diligence.
This is an example of a literal vampire. Well, not a literal vampire, but the people who killed them sure thought it was a literal vampire. They even drove a brick through its face to stop it from rising from the dead.
The beauty of nature.
Those big tropical millipedes are absolutely horrifying to me, so it’s nice to see one getting murdered by a snake…but after that, you’ve got a scary snake on your hands.
Just don’t ask.
Moving into a new house and finding a hidden, sealed door might be the stuff of childhood stories, but in the real world it’s the stuff of horrifying urban legends.
Is he wearing the Infinity Gauntlet?
I’m not sure which exact Catholic saint this is, but if his burial is any indication, he died as he lived: surrounded by all of the gold and jewels.
Go with the herd.
Everyone’s been spooked once or twice by an animal’s reflective eyes at nighttime. It’s easy to laugh off when it’s just your pet, but there’s something decidedly unsettling about the effect when it’s a whole herd of sheep.
On the throne.
It’s creepy enough that the catacombs under Paris are basically endless and full of human bones. But who assembles said bones into a throne? I don’t know who’s sat here, and I don’t think I want to know.
If you’re looking for a sign…
Warning signs can be disregarded at your peril. It might not be a big deal tempting fate with a lesser sign, but this one spells the risks out pretty clearly.
Deep cut.
This is what happens when you cut into a bloodwood tree. Makes sense, I guess. Turns out bloodwood is the name given to a whole bunch of different trees that do this creepy bleeding thing.
RELATED STORIES
Modern art, man.
I like to think that I can appreciate art, but this sculpture in Stevens Point, Wisconsin is something else. Pretty sure the artist just made it to freak people out at night.
Familiar but alien.
If this looks like a human skeleton, only creepier, that’s because it’s the skeleton of one of our closer relatives, the gibbon. These apes are pretty cute in life, but their skeletons are a tad unnerving.
Maybe turn back.
If it wasn’t ominous enough venturing alone into the ruins of a palatial castle on a creepy, foggy day, consider the fact that this German castle is literally called Frankenstein Castle .
As if I wasn’t scared enough of going to the hospital.
MRI’s are a great tool in modern medicine, but their results can be horrifying. Give me the news, doc, do I have a demon in my skull or not?
You want a hug?
This is a suit people used to wear to hunt bears in the 1800. I’m really not sure what would be scarier — a bear running full speed at you in the woods, or someone wearing one of these things coming up right behind it.
I feel you, little buddy.
I don’t know what exactly this kid’s parents were thinking, but their face says it all. Hopefully they don’t remember this moment, ’cause this is the kind of thing that could scar you.
This one isn’t scary at first glance…
But when you learn that what’s dripping there is honey from a bee infestation you might suddenly start feeling your skin crawl. Inside the house is supposed to be safe!
Some people seriously need help with their interior decorating skills.
This was on display in an AirBnB a Reddit user was staying at. You know what, on second thought, I think I might just book myself a hotel room after all.
Who’s the fairest of them — never mind.
I know kids like to draw on stuff, and scratching out Snow White’s face here was probably just idle hands at play, but if my kid created this, it would be going right into the dumpster. I don’t need this kind of energy in my house.
Mothra?
Moths seem like innocuous little idiots who spend half their lives bumping into porch lights. Sometimes, though, they peer into your security system…and into your very soul in the process.
Aw, come on, let him in.
Kangaroos have always been on my watch list. They’re too buff and too prone to starting fights for me to get behind them, and if they’re this aggressive about trying to get into your house? I’m officially out.
My name’s not Mark, but if it was, I would change it.
A man in Portland found this note attached to his car with his tires slashed. I think I would have to move out of the city, the state — hell, I might even flee the country.
Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotton.
This is an animatronic Stitch from a Disney ride that’s no longer in use. Or it’s the creature that’ll show up in your nightmares tonight. Or maybe it’s both.
Tattoos really do last forever.
This is a perfectly preserved piece of tattooed skin. Yep. Human hide. I think I’ll be okay if my tattoos don’t last this long, actually.
No, YOU go down and check the bunker.
A Reddit user discovered their house had a bunker down below it, and stuck their phone down there to snap a quick photo. I don’t think they’ll be using the bunker after this.
We have a visitor.
This was waiting at the backdoor when someone went to go lock it. I think that’s a sign from the universe telling you it’s time to move.
