15 Stock Photos That Came From A Parallel Universe

Stock photography was created to assist in finding imagery to accompany pretty much anything. Stock photos can be found pretty much everywhere online, and are often put to good use. Some stock photos, however, are completely nonsensical. They're weird, disturbing and at times obviously just a cry for help. We're not sure why anyone in their right mind would design, photograph or pose for these images, but for some reason, they did, and the results are memorable, to say the least.

It's safe to say they won't sell, though. Here are just a few of the countless stock photos that defy any explanation and appear to be created by aliens trying (and failing) to simulate the patterns of human behavior.
