The human brain is so complex and strange, we never know what it’s going to do next. Randomly jumbling our words, making us forget basic information, or even making the mundane seem creepy, our mind loves to throw us curveballs.
This list in particular is about that last point, with 14+ harmless pics that made our skin crawl.
RELATED STORIES
“This Subway has a subway underneath it.”
Yeah, toootally a subway and not a maze of catacombs that the Subway above lures victims to.
“I put asparagus in a cup of water and now it’s taking over my kitchen.”
I’ve done this with green onions to similar results, but there’s something about the branching arms and this angle that makes this particular photo…offputting.
“These Button plants (Conophytum wittebergense) look like creepy bloodshot eyes.”
A follow-up on upsetting plants is this here succulent. No longer will I trust all those posts about succulents being cute, I’ve now seen the truth.
“A local store had candy on sale for $0.00.”
Great in theory, but there’s something about the tone of that sign that seems strange. It’s not an invitation, it’s a command.
“This guy’s panorama accident lines up perfectly with the trees.”
This one isn’t so bad. A friendly, smiling giant watching all the little ants ski.
“This fence built around the base of a tree.”
Courteous of them, but it does make it look like there’s toxic sludge leaking from under their fence. Just saying.
“This tree looks like it has a [dragon’s] eye.”
That dragon looks a little sad, doesn’t it? I guess I would be too if I got trapped in a tree.
“This creepy shadow of the smiling octopus.”
That’s the octopus and his evil twin brother. His evil, shadowy twin brother.
“A conjoined daisy I found.”
If I ever saw this in real life, I’d be convinced the world was glitching out.
“Beware of dog.”
If that’s what your dog looks like, yeah, I’ll beware it.
‘This rubber duck with two heads I found.”
Aw, he seems pretty polite. Doesn’t want to be a bother, just wants to do his job and float around in some tubs.
‘I blew some pollen off my car.”
I’m glad it’s just that and not what it looks like, which is giant spores of mold or fungus growing on your hood.
“Too narrow? No problem!”
Terrible house modifications aside, there’s something about the dinginess, the low lighting, that makes this scene too creepy.
“My dog’s thousand yard stare.”
Hey, are you sure he’s alright? It looks like he’s been through some stuff, you might want to get him to a counselor.
“This thing in an abandoned gas station near my house.”
There’s only one way to find out what it is. It’ll either be completely mundane, or it’ll get you if you step too close. Good luck!
“This bunny crumpet.”
There’s something about a lot of Easter-themed products that tends to lean towards the uncanny. Maybe the Easter Bunny is just a horrible mascot.
“Found a [bell pepper]…”
A visual representation of waking up with a major neck cramp.
“Infested spider tent.”
Leave it. It’s not worth it. Just leave it behind, let the spiders have it.
“This really dirty window at the local multi-story car park. People waiting in line to pay lean on it and you can only see the hands.”
Don’t know what’s more frightening, this, or the fact that anyone would want to touch a window that dirty.
“Just let them out already.”
Yeah, this one’s really making me antsy. Both unsettling and wanting to see them pop out to relieve that tension, eugh.
