15 Terrifying Photos Of Relatively Ordinary Things
There's nothing particularly scary photographed in any of these images. In fact, there's no reason any of these should be scary at all, since they show anything from mushrooms in the woods to a flock of birds in the sky. But in these images, these everyday things are so wildly unnerving that they've gone on to become known as "oddly terrifying" images. For some reason, we all have a very similar reaction to each of these, and they're eerie enough to make you look twice.
Below, you'll find some images we hand-picked as the most oddly terrifying of them all. These were spotted this month by Redditors on the subreddit /r/oddlyterrifying, an entire community dedicated to unexplainable or just plain weird content. So if you'd like to see what oddly terrifying images are all about, here are 15 of our favorites to leave you looking at ordinary things a little differently.
