❌ I do not claim any of the negative energy in this post. ❌

1. This positively cursed children's book cover:

2. This toilet paper dispenser that just might make you feel like you're being watched:

3. This unfortunate soul, who decided to take the elevator to their office building's top floor, only to interrupt this secret meeting of mannequins:

A dimly lit storage area containing numerous mannequins of various sizes positioned closely together, creating an eerie appearance

4. This child's painting, which would have me googling "how do I schedule an exorcism for my 6-year-old?" ASAP:

Abstract painting with textural brushstrokes that is dark, has a cross, and looks menacing

5. This headstone that absolutely has some creepy-as-hell backstory as to how it got so worn through:

6. This gruesome abandoned hospital room where I can only assume something went horribly, horribly wrong:

Operating room with an overturned surgical table, large spill on the floor, and scattered medical equipment. No persons visible

7. This building with a whole-ass house just hanging off of it???

I hope you believe in yourself as much as the person who designed this house believes in their engineering abilities. 

8. This Nutella and banana crêpe that looks like it hasn't fully rendered yet:

A plate sits on a wooden table holding a partially folded flatbread. Next to the plate is an orange Fanta can and a basket with condiments

9. This washed-up angler fish that looks like it swam straight out of my nightmares:

Deep-sea anglerfish washed ashore on a sandy beach. The fish has a distinctive round body and sharp teeth, with a long lure protruding from its head

10. This warning sign from the local forest administration about...trees walking away???

Warning! Trees may free themselves from their holes. In case of sudden uprooting, please stay calm and report the incident to your local forest administration

11. This strangely curly traffic cone that looks like it's from a parallel, slightly more whimsical alternate universe:

12. This clawed-up door that doesn't not look like someone was locked in and trying to escape:

13. This driveway that looks like it's at least a foot thick, but apparently isn't??

14. This m̷̰̲̝̈́̽̈̎ḙ̸̢̤̖̂̎͆̔͆͌͌a̵̛̠̒̀͐̉̓͒͜t̷̵̝̲̣̙͎̹͉͚̰̰̝̩̫̰͎̪͍͓͌͒̋̈̑͌̽̒̈́̽̆̍͝ shop's sign that's kinda giving a cannibal vibe:

16. This airplane that sucked up a swarm of cicadas into its APU engine, aka a literal nightmare:

Close-up of an airplane engine intake filled with dead birds stuck at the entrance. Technical wiring and parts of the aircraft engine are visible

18. The way the bubbles at the bottom of this glass of water look like they're spelling out some secret message to tell you that you are, in fact, the chosen one:

According to the BBC, the bright orange gas cloud was a result of an "accident" at a nearby industrial plant.

20. This hotel exterior, which is giving "the aliens have taken over and they hate our design aesthetics, so they decided to redecorate:"

A tall, uniquely-designed building with numerous arch-shaped windows is under construction, with cranes and construction equipment surrounding it on a city street

21. This sentient, disembodied cat head:

A cat is lying with its head resting on a concrete surface outside a house near a doormat and a potted plant. A hose reel is in the background

22. These abandoned inmate uniforms someone found on the side of the road just scream, "Jailbreak!"

23. This person, who experienced an IRL glitch in the matrix and came with receipts:

A hand holding a purple die above a set of colorful dice labeled "Fabulous Las Vegas" with the text: "My dad got me these when I was a youngish teenager ... started putting them back in, and..."

24. This straight-up horrifying medical mannequin I really would rather not give mouth-to-mouth:

31. And finally, this person's view from the car mirror (which, to be clear, is OUTSIDE), which would genuinely make me question if we're all living in the matrix for a hot minute:
