warning

They say what you don't know can't hurt you, but that line of logic doesn't work when it comes to exposed wires, sinkholes, hidden explosive ordinance, and bears. Also poison ivy, quicksand, riptides, monkeys and poison gas. Oh yeah, plus geese, shooting ranges and nuclear runoff. But that's close to all of it. Maybe. Either way these creepy signs made their message clear.

We see warning signs every day, and some hazards become more "everyday" than others. These spooky signs go above and beyond when addressing strange, overly specific, or even vague danger. Spooky signs say a lot with their creepiness.

The world is full of unforeseen hazards, and we can thank creepy sign makers for clueing the rest of us in on all the junk we could step into. Spooky signs say a lot with their creepiness and sometimes the sign itself is scarier than the danger. That said most of us would prefer not to fall into a radioactive mine shaft so we can thank these spooky signs even if they're too dang scary.

Hazards abound, and with them creepy signs that make their message clear. Sure it might seem gauche for a sign to literally tell you "lions eat people and you are people" but the real issue is why that sign needs to be there in the first place. Someone was probably being people way too close to the lions. The abundant threats of the world make it necessary to have spooky signs that are too dang scary.

The world is big, and with it come a lot of threats. There's quickly rising water, bees, brain-eating amoebas, big holes and errant explosions to name a few. To name a few more, there are cliffs, electricity, angry biting monkeys, slippery cliffs, dangerous machinery and fires. So it makes sense we'd need a lot of spooky signs that say a lot with their creepiness.

We live in a world of unconventional hazards. It might seem cartoonish to think that you might get hit by a propeller, get bit by a plague-carrying rodent or fall down a hidden mineshaft. If those weren't things that could happen, we wouldn't need ominous signs that mean serious business. While sometimes horribly weird and unsettling, these creepy and ominous signs are doing their job.

Not all jobs are made the same. Looking for a job can be a dramatic adventure fraught with personal doubt and harsh self evaluation. It's a moment that inspires many painfully relatable job interview memes. Honestly it's weird that we have to name our own value as people and jockey with employers who would like nothing more than to get as much work out of us as possible for the least amount of compensation possible. Some jobs are definitely better than others, and it's apparent during the interview process. A lot of them are worth a "screw this, I'm out." 

There's no beating around the bush when it comes to spectacular hazards and ominous signs. It's pretty hard to ignore a sign that says "watch your step: open mine shafts" or "radioactive zone" or "step past this line and your mistakes are your own." The creepiest and most sinister signs often mean the most business. It just goes to show that paying attention is usually a good idea.

All in all, a lot of this is common sense. Head on a swivel, don't talk to overly friendly strangers at 3 am, and don't walk around with hundred dollar bills poking out of your back pocket. It's sort of surprising how many people don't think about this stuff. For some flirtation with the law, here are things people later found out was illegal.

The world is full of hazards, and with them a bunch of creepy signs that make their message clear. Sure, it's extremely freaky to read a sign that explains anyone could be lurking in the woods, but it's definitely better than if there were no sign at all. We can at least give some credit to these spooky signs that say a lot with their creepiness.

There are a lot of hazards out in this big world of ours. There are unexploded mines, vipers, bees, big holes, radioactive caves, cliffs and biting monkeys. A sign doesn't even have to explain itself that much. There are a lot of spooky signs out there that say a lot with their creepiness. Sometimes those dangers get to the point where the warning signs are patently absurd.

We live in a world of many dangers, so many so that it requires terrifying signs that speak the language of fear. Some of these signs ride the line just between utter joke and serious business, and others are straight up creepy as hell. There are spooky signs out there that mean serious business.

There are a lot of unconventional hazards in this world. You wouldn't think that walking into a mine field or falling into a hidden pit could be a legitimate danger, but luckily we have creepy signs that mean business. Sometimes they're overly vague, and some put the danger into cartoonish detail, but that all amounts to the fact that these signs should definitely not be ignored.

Signs are an important part of everyday life. They communicate useful and relevant information like "crosswalk" or "food is hot" and they're such a necessary part of life that you can forget why they're there. Sometimes a danger is extraordinary, like an open mine shaft, bomb range or plague outbreak, and those terrifying signs make their message clear. There are some signs that speak the language of fear.
