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.

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.

Tumblr can get, shall we say, overly specific. The nature of the site, and the people on it, can lead to some deep rabbit holes, like this tumblr users getting schooled on physics and car safety, or really specific and fun history.
