There’s a huge difference between watching a scary movie (or reading a scary book, playing a scary game, etc.) and seeing something that creeps you out in real life. Scary media can at least be turned off or put away.
When it comes to these creepy things, people actually encountered them in the wild. Time to break out the holy water.
“The picture I took of an x-ray in a pet clinic.”
I’m not sure what’s worse here: the x-ray itself, or the weird doll next to it. Seriously, what is that thing? A penguin with limbs (and a creepy smile)?
Either way, I’d be taking my pet somewhere else.
“What’s lurking under your garden?”
At a glance, it looks like a potato that’s weirdly shaped like a skull. But… I’m pretty sure that’s just a skull. I guess animal skeletons have to end up somewhere (yes, even in your garden).
“Spooky lil copper centipede creation, creepy to have on me even though I built it.”
Centipedes are hands down the worst bugs out there. They have so many legs for no reason.
On the plus side they (usually) aren’t as big as the copper one here.
“What I found on the inside of my new phone case.”
What was probably supposed to be an inspirational quote ended up seeming really sinister. There were probably better ways to word that, but here we are.
Time to get a new-new phone case, I guess.
“Somebody put googly eyes on this baby at my local Walmart…”
Look, sometimes putting googly eyes on things can be really funny. But in this case, it’s just cursed. At this point, I’d be finding another Walmart (or store in general) to shop at.
“Cleaning out an old loft, right at the back in the rafters…”
I’m guessing there was a reason why this doll was stuck all the way in the back of the loft. It probably has to do with the fact that the face is broken. Or, the doll could be cursed.
“This weird Christmas window display at a mall daycare.”
The “do not enter” sign honestly makes this whole scene so much creepier. Not as creepy as the way that Olaf’s head sitting in the middle of the display like some sort of sacrifice, but still.
Probably the worst chair in existence.
Something tells me you aren’t supposed to sit on this glass shard abomination. Maybe it just exists to unsettle us. And you know what? It’s doing a pretty good job of that.
“Decorated tree in the middle of the woods.”
Random decorated trees in the park or along a sidewalk can be kind of cute. Random decorated trees in the middle of the woods, though, are just a little unsettling.
“This ‘happy’ face my 5yo nephew drew…”
I’m not going to lie, the misspelling of the word “daddy” is really cute. But that face… It’s, like, unintentionally creepy. I definitely don’t like the way it’s looking at me.
“This doll at a toy museum.”
There’s something about the expression on this doll that makes it look like it’s up to no good. Paired with its weird arms, and the fact that it’s covered in dirt? I think it’s safe to say it’s cursed.
“A maze in a cornfield at night.”
This is the exact place where the final showdown in a horror movie would take place. Like, a killer scarecrow carrying a chainsaw or something could totally be hiding in there, and we wouldn’t know.
“I am by no means a sculpture [*sic*]. I was just playing Play-Doh with my daughter and made this unholy thing…”
On the plus side, since it’s made of Play-Doh, you can easily take it apart, throw it out, douse the garbage can in holy water, and then sell the house.
“Three very intense looking snow sculptures.”
To think, someone went out of their way to make these snow sculptures. They look almost too realistic. Like, they could be demons clawing their way into that building that just so happened to get covered in snow and frozen solid, you know?
“I need a new washing machine, I will not set her free!”
This is kind of like the Pandora’s box of washing machines. If you open the door, you don’t know what kind of horrors you’re about to unleash. So yeah, new washing machine, ASAP.

“This oddly sinister and frightening mine I found while hiking out in Arizona.. I find myself coming back and occasionally hearing noises coming from within.”
Don’t worry the noise is probably just wind passing through the tunnel. Totally not the screams of undead miners or anything.
Still, you couldn’t convince me to take two steps into that mine.
“This kangaroo waiting in the water.”
When you think about it, kangaroos are kind of scary. They’re way too big and menacing-looking, and they’re kind of vicious.
This one is waiting for… something. Best to keep moving along and pretend you didn’t see it.
“The power was out on my block for hours last night. But I came downstairs to find that this light stayed on.”
OP goes on to say, “since we’ve moved into this old-ass house with its old-ass wiring, that light has NEVER worked.”
Faulty wiring? Or a sign that the house is haunted by an evil demon? Or, maybe a little bit of both.
“The shadows from my porch posts on my door.”
There’s nothing quite like constantly seeing shadows outside your door, especially when they’re head-shaped. But don’t worry, it’s not like there are actual people trying to peer through the window on your door (probably).
“Mother! I request your soul!”
Dogs are so strange. One minute, they’re all cute and cuddly. The next minute, you catch them looking all weird and demonic. And then they go back to being cute in a split second. Weird, right?
