Growing up means not getting scared by the things that used to give you nightmares as a child, right? But what happens if you grow out of those fears, only to have brand new ones take their place?
I’m not saying this list is full of things you’re going to add to your list of phobias. But you might miss your childhood comforts, even for a little bit.
“Early 20th century playground in Dallas.”
Let’s face it, old pictures are always kind of creepy. Of course, this one is made even creepier by the sheer height of the playground. I don’t even want to think about what would happen if you fell off of this thing.
“These outlets at my job are terrifying.”
Yup, those outlets are clearly possessed. Luckily, though, this person just works in this building and doesn’t live there, so they probably won’t get cursed or anything. Unless they upset the outlets, of course.
“When your wife tries to make a smiley faced pancake and instead makes Jigsaw.”
I can appreciate the attempt. But, uh, yeah. That looks a lot like Jigsaw. Why do I feel like this person is going to have to play a creepy game before they can have breakfast…?
Ah, the joys of living on a large property.
It’s all fun and games until the sun goes down. All of a sudden, you live in the middle of a probably haunted forest. Are there ghosts? Is the dog a ghost? We may never know.

“This awful trolley with its awful face was behind me at a red.”
Ugh, the way its face fits in that side mirror perfectly is so creepy. I feel like I’ve just gotten cursed or something. Quickly, someone get me a bottle of holy water!
“Found this on my fridge while watching my 2 year old.”
The kid is way too short to each the top of the fridge (and also probably can’t spell), so we can rule them out. If no one else is home, then it was probably either a demon getting ready to pounce, or a friendly ghost warning them about the demon that’s ready to pounce.
I don’t remember Dobby looking like this…
To be honest, this would be a perfectly fine toy. But then they had to go and put those eyes in there. I hate to say it, but I think Dobby is cursed now. Sorry, guys.
When you see it…
Hey, wait a minute. There’s a person in this picture! Right next to the tree. It’s easy to miss them at first, which makes me think that it’s probably a ghost making a special appearance on camera.
“Putting the skeleton Flamin’ Hot Cheeto bones together may have not been a good idea.”
I mean, it is skeleton Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. It’s not like this is your regular old Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
Still, this Cheetos skeleton is pretty spooky. It feels like he’s gonna get up and start dancing any second now.
“I have no good explanation for this. Found three hours into deep forest, 20ft in the air, and impaled on a tree. Hours away from major roads.”
Do I want to know how this truck got all the way up in a bunch of trees like that? Maybe some things are better left as mysteries…
“Picture my dad took of the power outage at our local grocery store.”
It’s kind of funny how such a normal place like a grocery store can look super creepy thanks to different lighting. Or I guess, a lack of lighting. Never in my life would I have thought of pickles as terrifying.
“Capela dos Ossos (chapel of bones) Évora, Portugal.”
Just looking at this place is creepy enough, but then you can’t help but think about the fact that someone at some point put all those bones in there. Yeah, that’s one place I probably won’t ever visit.
“This hole to the underworld at my grandparents’ house.”
There’s a 97% chance that some kind of ghost or demon (or ghost demon) lives in that hole. There’s also a 3% chance that it’s just a crawlspace or something, but let’s face it. Demons.
“A picture of my cat under the bed.”
I know, I know. Cats aren’t demonic. And yet, they kind of are, aren’t they? They may be cute and cuddly one minute, but the next minute, they’re out here looking like actual monsters.
“The slugs in our neighborhood have a real drinking problem. Luckily caught this guy before he climbed in.”
Luckily, this is a picture of a slug climbing into a can, and not one of a slug climbing out of it. Both are bad, of course, but the latter is so much worse.
“This sculpture. I took these while roaming around town in the fog one night/early morning.”
There’s something really creepy about this sculpture. It’s probably the lighting. And the fact that there’s a lot of fog around. It just goes to show you that lighting is everything when it comes to setting a tone.
“This cemetery gate on a calm hill which I visited couple of years ago.”
Even though cemeteries are full of dead people, they probably aren’t haunted. After all, a ghost would haunt the place where they died, right?
Still, when you look at sights like this, it’s hard not to think of a cemetery as a super haunted place.
“Needed to mark spots in order to cut out eye holes for my wife’s Halloween costume. The fitting was scarier than the finished product.”
Oh, yeah, um. I’m pretty uncomfortable now. This looks like the kind of mask a slasher movie villain would wear while they pick the cast off one by one.
The way this picture captured a dog jumping.
This feels like one of the frames in a movie we weren’t supposed to pause at. It looks more like the dog is crouching in a weird way than jumping, and I don’t like it one bit.
“As I was lowered 70’ inside a 150’ chimney by a crane in a one-man basket this was the view into the horizontal venting of an industrial boiler system.”
I feel like, if you were to stare at this picture for a really long time, a ghost would appear at the end of the corridor. So, maybe don’t look for too long.
