10 Oddly Terrifying Images That Really Shouldn't Be This Scary

There's nothing about these photographs that should genuinely make them scary. These are all fairly ordinary things. But somehow, they're absolutely terrifying, both visually and on a deep emotional level. They have no right to be as scary as they are. It's impossible to describe how they make us feel, though, other than scared out of our minds. We don't know the full context behind a lot of these images, either, which makes them worse.

Even the easily explainable ones are difficult for us to wrap our minds around, since something is just so wrong about the way these things look that the answers don't sit right. The following pictures come from the subreddit /r/oddlyterrifying, where Redditors post the scariest things they've seen that shouldn't be so visually upsetting. Take a look at some images that freaked out Redditors from the past month.
