We are all afraid of something and that’s normal. Fear is generally a part of being human. However, in some cases, there’s really no reason to feel fearful. Our eyes tend to play tricks on our mind and that causes us to believe in things that aren’t real or don’t even exist.

One way to get over your fear and to feel braver is to use a safe environment to face the source of your fears head-on. This list of startling and creepy photos is exactly what you need for that.

1. The killer clown

Even if I’m completely hungry, I wouldn’t dare go inside that building. It looks like a killer clown is waiting for me.

2. A warning

Consider this photo as a warning. Never wear your gloves without checking what’s inside first.

3. Rose or blood?

These sheets would be ideal to use if you’re on your monthly period. They make it easy to hide the stains if they leaked. On normal days, however, they make the room look like a murder scene.

4. Sneaky

It seems like the snake has been hiding there for quite some time. It looks happy to be found.

5. You’re being watched.

The shadow looks like the Boogey man. Its evil eyes and smile will surely keep you up at night.

6. The creepy door crack

It’s hard to convince yourself that there’s nothing wrong with the door crack when you can definitely see someone or something smiling there. I wouldn’t even have the courage to look at it a second time.

7. The frozen ghost

If I were alone at home and I saw this on my window, I’d probably run away as fast as I can. It’s a proof that nature really has a way of messing up with people.

8. The creepy mannequin

It’s more than just a mannequin. If you touch it, it’ll scream “Stop! Don’t touch me like that!” over a speaker system. It’s supposed to prevent people from peeing in the tub.

9. The magical iron

This iron is quite magical. It lets you see the real you when you look at it.

10. Let us out!

These gloves are reaching out like they are asking for help. I guess they don’t like being washed in a washing machine.

11. What do you do?

It’s normal to see kangaroos wandering at night. A red-eyed kangaroo staring at you through your glass door, however, isn’t something you’ll see on a regular basis.

12. Awkward

That man isn’t suffering from any physical deformity. It’s the woman’s position that made him look like he has a really small body for his head.

13. Three legs?

If you thought that this woman had three legs, you’re not alone. That vase is quite misleading.

14. The baby on the beach

A baby showing off her bum like that? It’s both odd and hilarious.

15. That hair

It’s either the woman in front of the couple was super tall or the woman next to the man has a really long neck. Seriously, I couldn’t come up with a good explanation for that blond hair.

16. Misleading photo

Your eyes can play tricks on you. If you aren’t careful, you might end up believing something that didn’t really happen.

17. Quite hairy

It’s hard not to think about epilators and razors when you see that much hair on a woman. Thankfully, it’s a man’s legs and not really her arm.

18. A tiny man

That woman’s blouse blended well with the man’s black pants. It made him look like a tiny man on her back.

19. A headless man

When you’re about to enter a game, it’s bad to lose one’s head. The same is true in photographs.

20. A monster baby

This looks like a poster for a scary movie. The way that baby is holding that tiny man’s head is quite creepy.

21. As one

They say that when you’re in a relationship, you’ll feel like you’re one with your partner. This couple are so attached to each other that they look like they’ve literally merged into one.

22. Edited?

With their necks not showing on this photo, these women looked like they were heavily photoshopped into the picture. Plus, the angle makes their heads too big for the body.

23. A trick for the eyes

Were they carrying the girl in black or the woman wearing a skirt? This illusion is uncomfortable to look at.

24. He’s fine.

Despite how it looks, the man is fine. His hand is intact and he’s perfectly well.

25. An extra leg

Reptiles are known for having the ability to regenerate their tails after an injury. A salamander developing an extra leg, however, isn’t that common.

26. Fighting an invisible man

I’m not sure how the man in blue will win against the one in red. It’s hard to punch someone in the face when you can’t really see it.

27. The lethal playground

I sincerely hope no kid ever gets to play on that playground. It’s like it’s designed to punish kids than bring them fun.

28. A bird poop

This bird is a true artist. It managed to make an image of itself using its poop.

29. A scary selfie

At first, you might think that this is just another regular selfie. However, if you take a closer look at its lower left, you’ll see that really creepy reflection on the girl’s mirror.

30. The giant monkey

Remember the time when a giant monkey was unleashed and wreaked havoc on a city? This is a perfect reminder of that.

31. Those eyes

They say counting sheeps can help you fall asleep easier. Now, if these are the sheeps I’m supposed to count, I’ll probably end up not sleeping at all. Just look at those eyes!

32. A dust storm

Believe it or not, that isn’t a giant red wave engulfing the boat. It’s actually a massive dust storm formed from rain, wind, and rust colored sand.

33. The dinosaur

This is one good reason why you shouldn’t sleep in the car. You’ll never know what you’re going to wake up to.

34. The escalator

Escalators are fun but once they start trapping slippers and shoes, they can become a nightmare. Even adults would find this photo uncomfortable.

35. That baby

Imagine going to your laundry room and seeing a baby like this one in your washing machine. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep for a few nights because of it.

36. A woman on the roof

Someone went out for a walk in the middle of the night and saw this woman on the roof. If I were that person, that would probably be the last time I’m going out at such hour.

37. A visitor

Smart home apps are great when it comes to security and convenience. However, if you get a notification like this in the middle of the night, you’ll probably regret having one in the first place.

38. Nightmare

This looks like it’s been taken out of a child’s nightmare. See the way it’s stretching its arms?

39. The odd clown

With all the scary movies these days, clowns are starting to develop a different kind of image. Just take this scary clown as an example.

40. The missing legs

She’s floating, isn’t she? Well, that happens when you wear pants that match the tiles on the floor.

41. New security

There’s no need for additional locks. I don’t think anyone would be going for that door.

42. The Devil’s Pool

If you think infinity pools are exciting, you’ve probably never seen this one. This is the Devil’s pool and it’s called that way for a reason.

43. A shark?

I wouldn’t blame the surfer for freezing at that time. If I see something like that in the middle of the ocean, the first thing that comes to mind is “shark”. “Dolphin” would be last.

44. When crows gather

Do you know what’s creepier than crows gathering in a big group? It’s crows grouping together and facing the same direction. It’s like they are doing some kind of ritual.

45. Going nowhere

Judging by the way that crocodile looks, I don’t think the car owner made it to work that day. I’m not even sure if the car is still his after that.

46. Something’s wrong

If you are a sick kid, these are probably the last visitors you want to see in your room. They look like they are up to no good.

47. The insects in the bunker

This is one creepy room. It would be a nightmare to get trapped inside it, particularly with those insects there. It’s like they are going to abduct you at any time.

48. Are you afraid of heights?

Even if you aren’t afraid of heights, I’m pretty sure this photo will send shivers down your spine. Just looking at it makes me pee a little.

49. That thing in the straw

You aren’t really supposed to get something crunchy when there’s nothing but liquid in your cup. If you do, it’s a good idea to check the straw. You might end up swallowing something like this.

50. During a flashlight tour

There are two things I don’t really like about flashlight tours- the things in the dark and the things you see with the light. This photo perfectly sums that up.
