creepy

Sometimes everyday life gets altered in a way that makes us think we're living in a simulation. Sometimes it's just a creepy moment, sometimes it's a strange coincidence. Either way, sometimes something so strange or unlikely happens that we just have to wonder if we're living in a boring, crappy matrix.

Spooky signs are there to be helpful and warn us of hazards in our environment, but some of them, like these terrifying signs go above and beyond when it comes to being scary. They're doing way too good a job of making us want to stay away.

Some things are really better left unsaid. In this case, a seemingly fun and educational Tumblr thread on farm animals takes a dark turn when someone brings up how pigs are omnivores. And specifically, how pigs have no problem feasting on humans. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their experiences that could've fit on the show "The X-Files." A big takeaway we're getting from these replies is that the world is a lot more eerie and filled with unexplained phenomena than we give it credit for. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their creepiest experiences with encountering "glitches" in the world. You know, those trippy moments when you find yourself questioning how what just happened could be real. Nothing beats those times when you dream that you wake up, but in reality you've been dreaming the whole time. Or is it all just a dream? 

So, the Elephant's Foot mold sounds like some sort of mythological Medusa-level monster. Sounds to me like a big heap of forbidden pudding. Seriously, no thank you. Here's to hoping we don't find ourselves one day in the future, being enslaved by black mold overlords. 

Sure there's toilet humor, but these toilets are no joke. These kinda make you want to crap your pants. Not just cause they're weird and scary, but because a few of us would rather crap our pants than use them. For some scarier thrones of doom, here are toilets with threatening auras.

We're back at it again with a fresh collection of especially spooky two sentence horror stories. There was no time wasted in making sure these two sentence horror stories got as spooky as possible. Gotta appreciate when people are able to escalate the horror in the matter of a couple of sentences. 

Mom groups have an uncanny knack for preaching this ideal of "no judgment" while they judge the sh*t out of everyone else online. Outside of that we have some prime parenting fails, and generally ridiculous behavior from moms just trying to navigate the ins and outs of the wild social media world. 

This guy shared quite the harrowing story of dating a terribly toxic "Karen" and how he went on to learn that she was weaving all kinds of lies, while cheating. The fact that the story manages to escalate after he finds out she cheated on him is the real terrible plot twist. She had the audacity to fake a marriage with him, with some random guy that looked like him. Yikes all around! 

Most of these signs and warnings were intended to scare people off, and they're doing a good job of that. That said, they may be doing too good a job. Like, a reminder of all the deadly wolves in the area is a unique and effective way to make people go away. Seriously, these signs are too good at being spooky.

The general themes here seem to be: bring up something you have in common, actually listen to them, compliment them, talk about shared interests, give them food and offer to show them pictures of animals. Also don't ask them where they live right off the bat. Here are some pickup lines that actually worked for people.

Might want to get that baby checked out. This possessed baby monitor has people on Twitter losing their minds. And really, it's no surprise. That demonic looking baby looks better suited for a chilling horror movie. 

He really got her with the, "your mouth sounds like it's falling down the stairs" comment. Ouch. This entitled nightmare expected the guy to break up with his girlfriend for her. Not only that, but her general grasp on personal space seems to be nonexistent. Run for the hills, buddy. 

We're happy that people take it upon themselves to warn other people of the world's potential dangers. It's just sometimes the signs themselves get the better of us and give us extra chills. Some aren't even intentionally scary. Let's face it, there are some ominous signs out there that are just too good at being spooky.
