30 Creepy Finds That Both Fascinated And Disturbed Me

There's something that's just so fascinating about super creepy things. Gross finds, bugs, and other kind of disturbing things aren't really that fun to look at, and yet you somehow can't look away.

Fair warning: this list is not for people who can't handle looking at creepy crawlies for too long. But if you're feeling brave (or bored) then you'll probably find some twisted enjoyment here.

"All the brown you can see is spiders."

Parts of Australia had some flooding recently, and with it came mass spider migrations. Apparently, though, this is a pretty common thing.

Knowing that this many spiders exist in such a small are of land is disturbing to say the least. It makes you wonder how many are really around you at any time.

"Found out why the Roomba quit working..."

Of all the places to find a snake, this is probably the last one you'd expect. I can't even imagine picking a Roomba up just to find one of these guys wrapped around it.

The snake even looks like it had been shedding, which ups the creep factor by a lot.

"Woke up for some water. Thank god I turned on the light before taking a sip."

See, I prefer water bottles in general, but now my choice feels even more valid. The thought of waking up and taking a sip of water, only to be met by a spider in your face is worse than an actual nightmare.

I'd take that glass outside before dumping it.

"This two headed dolphin."

Ok, this is both creepy and sad. You can't help but feel bad for an animal that's born with two heads, since you know its chances of survival are pretty much zero. (I mean, assuming this animal is the real deal, which it looks like it is.)

"My cat had a blockage in her stomach and needed surgery to remove it. It ended up being 26 hair ties."

Oh, the joys of being a cat owner. Those little buggers love to eat random things, even if that thing doesn't resemble food in the slightest. And all you get out of it is an expensive pet bill and one very gross souvenir.

Still, though, you'd think they'd have noticed the missing hair ties at some point.

"The Giant Devil’s Flower Mantis looks like something that crawled out of hell."

This is so creepy, it doesn't even look real. And yet, because nature exists to disturb us, it's in fact quite real. They're native to Africa, around Tanzania. Also, people keep these things as pets.

I guess there are people out there that would think something that looks like a demon is cute?

"Twix, Mars, Raccoon..."

Yeah... if I ever saw something like that, I would have to get the entire vending machine decommissioned. There's no way I would eat food from something I knew came in contact with a raccoon.

Though they may be cute, they're also incredibly nasty. And kind of creepy, to be honest.

"Japanese Ballpoint Pen Comes With a Live Parasitic Worm."

In a way, these pens are actually kind of cool. But knowing that those parasites are alive is giving me the creeps in a major way. I don't think I could ever use those pens, or even keep one in my house, knowing that the glass could break and those things could run loose.

"No wonder my PS4 was breathing so loud."

Yes, roach infestations in PS4 consoles is a real thing. They tend to like dark, warm spaces, and the Sony console fits the bill.

But when you turn it on, they get really hot, and, well... this happens. I'm lucky this has never happened to me, because that would be too gross.

The Quetzalcoatlus was one big bird.

As impressive as this life-sized sculpture is, it's a life-sized sculpture. There was the time when these dinos roamed the earth, flying around and whatnot.

Honestly, I'm glad we live in a time where dinosaurs in general are long since extinct, but these guys in particular are real creepy.

"I freaked out a little when I met this while cross country skiing."

The longer I stare at this, the more mixed my emotions get. I keep cycling through absolute terror and relief. My mind keeps wanting to see a large, menacing forest monster. Even though this is just part of a tree that fell into the snow in a weird way.

Hopefully someone removed it.

"Someone was selling dead beetles dressed up as *Jurassic Park* characters on Etsy."

Honestly? It's kind of cool. But then you remember that someone out there is taking dead beetles to do this and it suddenly becomes a lot less cool.

Then again, you probably wouldn't be able to get the beetles to agree to these costumes if they were still alive...

"Did a double take when I saw this rock in my friend’s yard. she said it came from the tenants before her, but I think it is the tenant."

That rock face sure is... realistic. I'm sure that it's just a surprisingly well-crafted sculpture, and not some sort of Medusa situation. Right? Yeah, it can't be an actual person. That simply wouldn't make any sense.

(If I were them, I'd get rid of that thing as soon as possible.)

"Had a Praying Mantis nest hatch by my front door!"

Ah yes, this is absolutely what everyone would want to see when they walk out onto their front porch. Hundreds of tiny mantises born minutes ago that are now running around your walls.

I feel bad for mantises, because they're mostly harmless to humans. They just so happen to also look like alien creatures.

"My sister made "Feet Loaf" for Halloween."

Well, as a Halloween gag, it sure is effective. I know that those aren't real feet, and yet they look so surprisingly realistic that I've mostly lost my appetite for the day.

I'm not gonna lie, though, the bits of onion used to make toenails is a really cool detail.

"In Algeria we have these weird things in public parks and children’s playgrounds."

This one isn't creepy because it's a hoard of nasty bugs, or some other kind of gross, disturbing thing. It's creepy because it's a banana with a duck head and feet. Who comes up with these things? And why would you want to put them up in a playground?

*Cosmoderus Femoralis* (AKA, a really big cricket).

This big, nasty cricket is a native of Cameroon. It honestly, doesn't look real, more like some kind of creepy toy. Unfortunately, though, it is. And while they seem to be rare, people apparently keep these bugs as pets? I'll just never understand it.

"Huge Wasp nest inside my bathroom wall."

I'm actually pretty sure I've had nightmares about finding a giant wasp nest inside one of my house walls. So far so good, but that doesn't mean it will never happen.

Especially since that kind of thing actually does happen. Case in point, this image right here. You can't make this stuff up.

"Caterpillars take over bush and make it look creepy af."

As a kid, I thought caterpillars were kind of cute, but as an adult, I've realized that while the primary species in my neighborhood was pretty chill, caterpillars in general are kind of creepy.

And tent caterpillars just up the creep-factor.

"Creepy clown lace."

Lace designs can be so intricate and beautiful, but sometimes humanity's bad habit of finding faces in things can ruin a good thing.

This lace's dainty hearts are cute, and then you notice that the edging looks like a clown with a scary, toothy grin.

"This partially rotten apple has a creepy face when cut."

Not only does this apple have a face, but it's looking at you like it's going to get revenge for cutting into it.

"Went camping with my girlfriend. I woke up to pee and she took this photo of me."

I've never really understood the appeal of camping. Sure, I like spending time outdoors, but I want to escape back into my central air and own bed when I've had my fill.

This nightmare photo doesn't change my mind.

"A creepy, nightmarish picture of my cat that has a pair of bunny ears on."

Have you seen the movie Donnie Darko? Because the first thing I — and many Redditors in the comments — thought of was Frank. Frank is a ghost in a creepy bunny suit and I think you get why he came to mind.

"This Wendy's sign."

Does Wendy's "recipe" also include the ground up bones of children and stolen dreams? Because that's what this sign is hinting towards.

"It looks like there's a little man inside my tulip."

On another day, I might have thought this was neat, but on a day when I'm looking at so many creepy pics, I can't help but get the shivers looking at this little dude just chilling in a flower.

I don't trust him.

"Tree eating a gravestone in an old Irish famine graveyard in my town."

Trees are notorious for simply absorbing anything placed too closely to them, but when that thing is a gravestone, the whole process seems a whole lot more sinister.

"An octopus with 32 tentacles."

Am I the only one who finds octopuses a little bit creepy? They just have so many legs, and, like, no bones, and they're just a bit too smart. It's mostly the legs, though.

And as if eight legs isn't enough, this one somehow has 32. That's far too many for one animal to have.

"Two old mine carts in a river near my house in South Wales."

This is how spooky horror movies start.

You find a couple of old mine carts in the wilderness, and next thing you know, ghosts with pickaxes and mining lanterns are following you home.

"Skull imprinted from pasta water drying on stovetop."

Literal Creepypasta(water).

Then again, it remains me most of the skull from the poison apple in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves so that takes some of the creepy feel away.

"A 130 year old crypt found while renovating a church in SC, they put a glass window on it so you could see the face."

I'm sure it isn't uncommon to find old graves around churches and stuff (considering that's kind of where people end up getting buried from time to time).

I've never seen one with a face window on it, though. If it was going to be buried anyway, what was the point of the window?
