creepy

We tend to overlook the power of trees. Most of the time they just stand there, not bothering anyone. But given enough time, a hungry tree can envelope tons of stuff. Trees will munch on mailboxes. old toys, signs, and just about anything they can get their limbs on.

Man oh man, this AskReddit thread is just in time for spooky season. It's all about the creepiest experiences that midnight shift workers have had while on the job. Let's just say that it's threads like these that lead us to believe that there's a whole lot more scary stuff going on in the world than we'll ever fully grasp.

It's easy to forget just how massive the ocean is, and how we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to exploring the depths of that mysterious realm. Plus, if you ever find yourself out sailing the seas, you're bound to come across some bizarre and unexplainable sights. These sailors certainly have had their share of unexpected encounters. 

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that are intolerable, and we can only ask ourselves how the hell we got there. It could be a nasty relationship, an overdemanding and underpaying job, or just an absolutely creepy situation. At some point in one's life it's likely they'll have a "screw this, I quit" moment.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck drivers' creepiest experiences from their time out on the road. Turns out if you spend enough time out on the road, you're bound to encounter some especially spooky phenomenon. 

Ah yes, leave it to the brilliant minds of Tumblr to take us down a rabbit hole about how plants can genuinely wage war against the rest of the world. In this case, we're talking about the kudzu. The kudzu plants would fit right into a horror novel. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the still-on submarines. 

This person asked if they were right to walk out after their boss tried some weird manipulative BS by "not accepting" their two wees notice. It seems like they were well within their right, and are better off to have that garbage behind them. For another interesting quitting story, here's an employee who walked out and got a promotion out of it.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people's wildest paranormal experiences. Can we also take a minute to appreciate just how terrifying that dude's story about his Tinder date is? Paranormal or not it sounds like he had a very close brush with something extremely shady. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about some of the most supernatural experiences that people have ever had. At the very least, it's threads like this that can invite folks to consider there's a whole lot more going on in this universe than we will ever fully understand. 

When it comes to sleep talking, people run the gamut of unintentionally hilarious to mind-mindbogglingly creepy. On one hand you could have a guy farting himself half awake and demanding an apology, and on the other hand you could find a loved on in your corner begging to be let out of their flesh-tiled skin prison. Sometimes people get sleep paralysis and their loved ones mistakenly think they're getting visited by Satan.

Many Tumblr users fancy themselves as canon detectives, looking way too far into classic cartoons for hidden meaning. Here's a time they recreated this trivial Scooby Doo inconsistency. Officially, Lyman was a character in the Garfield universe who was deemed unnecessary, but that hasn't stopped the official Garfield universe from suggesting a darker reality.

There's a reason divers have to go through training programs. There's a whole lot of danger that can come with being a hundred feet from the surface, getting all your air out of a can. Usually the biggest danger itself is human error. It's pretty common to be afraid of large bodies of water, and people see really creepy things at sea.

Apparently the moral of this story is that tight pants can save your life? Maybe it's an exception to the rule. Either way you wouldn't expect this from an 80 year old history professor. For some more close calls, here's a dad whose instinct save his daughter, as well as some creepy paranormal stories from night shifters.

Put simply, there are a lot of things out there that can kill you, such as electricity, fires, electricity fires, strong currents, loose animals, and accidentally wandering into firing ranges. Even a big hole can be ridiculously dangerous if it's deceptively placed. It's better that we have spooky signs to remind us that, while we're basically at the top of the food chain, we aren't invincible. The signs can get pretty creepy though.

We try to not be superstitious, but sometimes it's hard to notice when certain objects are so deeply associated with consistently unfortunate goings-on. And it doesn't help that this robot looks creepy as hell. For some more strange and interesting tidbits, here are some random golden moments from the world of Tumblr.

Sometimes you see a real straight forward warning sign like "don't step over cliff" and you're like "alright that one makes sense." Then sometimes you see one like "bad place" and you're like "alright what the hell happened here?" The one thing that you can accept is that spooky signs mean serious business.
