freaky

Imagine being in your own house minding your own business, then you look out the window and realize someone is staring at you. And you can't know how long they've been watching. It's happened before, and it's freaky as hell. For some extra creepiness, here's the story of a dad's instincts as well as some creepy facts to feel unsettled about.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most frightening things that woke people up in the middle of the night. Night time is full of unexplainable moments of spookiness. Sometimes we partially wake up, and experience those chilling moments of sleep paralysis when we're absolutely convinced that there's a demon homie chilling at the end of the bed. Or, maybe it's that pleasant moment when a poster falls off the wall and you spring awake as your heart leaps outside of your chest. 

We can't really explain it. Maybe it's instinct, subconscious reasoning, survivor's bias, luck, or the intervening will of the universe. Sometimes people get a spidey-sense moment that ends up saving their own ass. Here are more times people trusted a gut feeling and avoided disaster.

These signs are, for one reason or another, doing a really great job of keeping people away. You don't have to be Norman Nine Fingers to understand that feeding the monkeys is a bad idea.

Or panoranimals, if you will. We haven't totally worked out the kinks involved in taking a panorama photo of a pet. Especially since you can't really tell a dog to hold still. Either way, these cute little monstrosities are the unwanted progeny of people's digital mistakes. Who's a long boy???

Tumblr never disappoints with the weird, specific and overthought pieces of gold, like this mathematical deduction of and Ice Cube Song. Anyway, here's a story of the time a contortionist friend did everything in her power to get a burrito. The results are pretty fantastic.

You hear about moments like these all the time. Something just doesn't seem quite right, so you hesitate, prepare, or get the hell outta there. These people had especially vivid moments where their instincts kicked in and they made a decision that ended up saving their skin. Here's more times someone dodged a huge bullet.

I think this story's just going to make people want to buy them more! Pretty damn creepy, but absolutely hilarious. 

Your phone probably has a "panorama" function that allows you to take extra wide shots of landscapes, as well as accidentally stretch and condense moving people, animals, and objects into freaky distortions of their former selves.

If you're living in a rented or bought house, it is sure to have memories of the past tenants. Although it doesn't cross our minds much, the houses we live in are full of memories, good and bad, of the people who lived there before us. Sometimes, more than just memories are left behind. These Redditors all found something unexpected in the houses they bought or rented, either spooky as hell or hilarious. Read on below and next time you move into a new house, don't say we didn't warn you if you find something weird. 

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office gets some interesting characters, and people are enthusiastic to participate. This guy looks like he was arrested for drinking absolutely everything. Hopefully he'll be able to swallow his pride, too.

It is remarkable what the imagination can accomplish in the way of terrifying little tales.
