There’s nothing like the rush of getting creeped out to get you through the monotony of yet another work day. Seriously, how many more of these do we have to have?
Well, it doesn’t matter, because the scares are here. Prepare to shake in your boots, look over your shoulder, and get distracted from your day, at least for a little while.
“Sharp roots from fallen tree.”
Is it just me, or does this collection of tree roots look a lot like the Iron Throne? Except, like, 800 times creepier. I definitely wouldn’t want to try sitting on this thing, that’s for sure.
Something tells me you should do what the clown says…
I can’t tell if they were going for a creepy clown on purpose, or if someone out there thought this design wouldn’t totally scare kids (and adults if we’re being honest). At least its messaging is effective.
“Stop this?”
The way the sign was split between those two panels turned it from something pretty normal to something kind of terrifying. Like, it’s really creepy, but in a way I can’t quite put my finger on.
“This mall I found with nothing in it.”
Nothing creepier than an abandoned mall, am I right? And unfortunately, since the mall is kind of a dying concept, we’re probably going to be seeing a lot more of them. Hopefully, nothing sinister is lurking within.
“These are baby aliens, or otherwise known as opium poppies, growing in my garden.”
Something tells me you probably shouldn’t be having opium poppies growing in your yard, and not just because they look like alien eyes… Talk about taking creepy to a whole new level.
“My grandma’s forest behind her house (I’ve never explored this section before).”
There’s a whole vibe going on in this pic, and I don’t like it one bit. The lone chair really makes the whole thing, though; it makes you wonder who (or what) put it there in the first place.
“This deflated watermelon I found a few years ago while helping a food pantry.”
On one hand, it’s literally just a very flat watermelon. But on the other hand, that’s exactly what makes it so strange and creepy. Watermelons shouldn’t look like that! It’s, like, a crime against nature or something.
“My Thanksgiving offering.”
I’m sure the turkey gods were pleased with this year’s terror pie offering.
That face, though. It looks so genuinely terrifying. It’s strangely close to an actual human face. Wait, you don’t think that… no, that would be crazy.
“My creepy Santas.”
Having one creepy Santa Claus doll is bad enough, but having a Santa Claus collection is too much, even for me. This is taking the whole “he sees you when you’re sleeping” thing to a new level.
“I think I stumbled onto something I shouldn’t have.”
Those crickets (?) look like they were in the middle of something, and just got interrupted by some annoying human. If I was that person, I’d probably back away slowly, and never go back.
“This post that looks like a horror game screenshot not a giveaway.”
Clearly, this stuff is free because it’s cursed, and the person giving it away wants to get rid of the curse as quickly as possible. Why else would anyone use such creepy lighting to take pictures of these things?
“300 million years before dinosaurs, the sea was rich with crinoids like this one.”
There are a lot of gross, creepy creatures that still live on this planet (I’m looking at you, centipedes), but this one takes the cake. I’m glad these guys aren’t still kicking around.
“There’s something very disturbing about what that dog brought home…”
Well, the dog wanted a bone, and the dog wanted a shoe. Its owner probably said no, and the dog took their leg. Seems like the only plausible explanation to me.
“Jalapeño beef tenderloin came out of oven looking like a baby alien.”
Not only does it look like a baby alien, it looks like a baby alien with dentures, which is even stranger and scarier. Let’s be real, though, a lot of us would probably still eat it.
This denture Christmas tree.
My dentist’s office is decorated really nicely, and not in a way that leans too much into the whole teeth cleaning thing. This office could probably learn a thing or two from that. Just put the dentures away at least.
“Potatoes left in a net for 3 months.”
What I find strangest about this picture is the fact that the person who left those potatoes there should’ve noticed at some point that they were sprouting roots. Maybe they just wanted to see how long the roots would grow? Weird.
Whatever’s going on in this terrifying book.
The picture is creepy enough on its own. But that text. Your memories of life will be distorted and inaccurate? What an incredibly dramatic thing to say. Dramatic, and also very ominous.
“I found this random photo on my phone that I took few years ago trying to identify what kind of insect this is… Looking at it still gives me shivers.”
I feel like, at this point, we should probably give up on ever knowing what kind of bug is in this pic, and just move on with our lives. No harm, no foul.

“A dolphin in a tank at night.”
This dolphin is waiting for something. The day its brethren break free from aquariums and take over the world? The day humanity collapses upon itself and the age of the dolphin begins? I hope we never know.
“There was a scorpion waiting to get me in the garage but I saw him before he saw me.”
There are many things I fear seeing on a daily basis: black widow spiders, bed bugs, centipedes, moose (they’re just way too big). Thankfully, I don’t live near where the scorpions live. They’re the scariest of them all.
