I’m not gonna lie, I love being scared. Watching scary movies, playing scary video games, and of course, looking at scary pics online are all super entertaining.
Sure, finding the explanations to what the heck is going on in these pictures might not be worth it. But you know what? They’re still fun to look at. And they’ll be worth the nightmares at least.
RELATED STORIES
“A bucket of snails and slugs.”
I… don’t like looking at this. I’m gonna go ahead and assume this is all food for a lizard or something, but that thought doesn’t make me feel any better. There are just too many snails and slugs!
“They cut off the fun fact on this candy wrapper. Now it’s an ominous prophecy.”
It’s a bit hard to read, so I’ll tell you that it says, “Did you know? Antarctica is the only continent,” before it cuts off. Welp, I guess that’s it for the rest of us.
“Tried to take a picture of the moon but had live on and turned away too fast.”
Kind of cool, but also kind of creepy. It looks like a bunch of worm aliens are falling to Earth in flashes of light. I hope that, at the very least, they’re friendly aliens.
“I was at the dentist office today. Saw this bear for kids. Nice and soothing.”
I don’t know who thought this would make the kids feel better. Cute teddy bears and human dentures don’t really mix. This is the kind of thing that would’ve scarred me for life as a kid.
Just kidding. I’m scarred for life as an adult!
“An alligator pops out of a storm drain in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana a few hours after a heavy rain.”
I really hate the idea of gators just hanging around in the sewers. Our toilets and sinks drain into sewers, after all. Good thing gators are too big to climb through a house’s plumbing…
“This painting my friend has.”
I find that there are times when you just shouldn’t ask any questions. This seems like a good time to keep your mouth shut. Don’t acknowledge the picture any more, and just back out of that house. Slowly.
“This tapir.”
Tapirs normally look kind of creepy, but this angle really isn’t working for this little guy. I’m getting serious “monster who wants to devour all of humanity” energy here, and I don’t like it. Nope, not one bit.
“What kind of candle is this?”
I’m mostly sure that this is a candle with really weird wax in it. But there’s a part of me that also thinks it might be some kind of alien fetus in a jar. Like, either way, I wouldn’t buy it.
“Toilet placed down a narrow, empty hall.”
This is triggering my fight or flight response. Humans are most vulnerable on the toilet, after all, and this one leaves no room to escape from whatever ghost you’ve got chasing after you.
“Garlic that looks like a claw.”
Without the long sprigs growing out of each clove, this garlic would look like a cute little paw. But with the sprigs, it’s a weird, creepy Grinch claw. Keep it away from your Christmas decorations!
“Took a panoramic photo of my dog.”
I feel like people take panoramas of their dogs because they know they’re going to find something demonic in them. Dogs hate staying still for a photo shoot, after all. And this one looks like it’s no exception.
“The hallway to my apartment.”
This is one of those pictures where, if you stare at the end of the hall long enough, your mind will start to trick you into thinking there’s someone back there. And I think I’ve been staring long enough…
That’s a lot of frogs…
I’ve decided that this is one of those things you just shouldn’t question. Sure, there’s an absurd amount of frogs in that drainpipe. But that also isn’t my problem, so I’m not going to think about it.
“A bowl of candy I found at an Airbnb. Its smile looks like if it was hiding a full bag of drugs in a cabinet.”
Yeah, I hate the looks on the faces on these candies. I feel like I should be reporting them to someone. Like the police, maybe.
They just aren’t right.
“While watching Home Alone, our stream started glitching out. I paused it and got this frame.”
I don’t remember Home Alone looking quite like this…
It’s amazing how a bit of lagging and glitching can make an innocent movie look like something that crawled out of the depths of hell.
“This spider on my rear camera made me nope the hell out.”
Rear cameras are really handy, and they make backing out of a space so much easier. But if I ever saw this in mine, I’d probably try to disable it. I do not want to have to deal with a spider.
“I thought I took a lovely picture until I noticed the figure in the background. It wasn’t there before.”
This could’ve been a really cute photo. Too bad there’s an ominous figure in the background. Sure, it’s probably just a person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but still.
“Camera obscura on my bedroom wall.”
I’m not really sure how this works, just that it has something to do with light and reflection and stuff. Still, it’s actually kind of creepy. I feel like a ghost could appear on that upside down image at any second.
“Found my old eraser.”
I’m sure at one point in this eraser’s life, it looked cute. Normal, even. But after years of being stuck in a case with other pencils, it looks like a lot of grime got on it. It’s seen better days, that’s for sure.
“Yes, there was a person in there…”
I feel bad for anyone who has to wear a mascot costume. For one thing, they’re super hot and probably stink inside. For another thing, you can’t wear one without people being immediately scared of you.
