facts verse presents 20 of the creepiest
photos ever number one the [ __ ] of
Buchenwald World War two was a
particularly dark period for humanity
Ilsa cook was one of the many terrifying
individuals who treated other human
beings less than animals she gained
infamy and notoriety for her sadistic
behavior against concentration camp
inmates she was said to select tattooed
prisoners to have them killed and
skinned with some reports even saying
that she had those tattooed skins turned
into lampshades number two capturing a
moment in life and death post-mortem
photographs were all the rage in the
past photography was a novel thing back
then and the prospect of capturing
moments for eternity appealed to many
particularly to those who had just lost
someone close to them family members of
the deceased would take a photograph
with the corpse of their loved one
though most were most freshly embalmed
than the one shown in this picture
number three oak grove ghost they say
that once upon a time a soldier murdered
his wife had his child now the spirit of
the wife haunts this bridge in Oak Grove
Kentucky and gives unsuspecting
photographers a good scare
number four the bloodthirster iona
constant escu also known as Iona the
bloodthirster was a suspected Romanian
witch who was beaten by a mob
she then killed herself by drinking
goblet after goblet of her own blood
real or not this haunting photograph is
reminiscent of another bloodthirsty
female number five preserved nun this
photo of the dismembered head of an
alleged possessed nun is up there with
the other scariest photos circulating on
the Internet the Rosary wrapped around
the mummy's head is a testament that
some things should still be feared even
when dead number six ancient cannibal
City dated from between 7,000 to 7500
years ago hexyl Heim was believed to be
an ancient Neanderthal burial site the
scary thing is some bones show specific
signs such as the skin and flesh being
scraped from the bones and the bone ends
being cracked open to get to the marrow
within that indicate the corpses in
hexyl Heim may have been cannibalized
number seven taxidermy trinkets
taxidermy is the practice or art of
stuffing and preserving dead animals
creating trinkets and heirlooms is also
an old village craft practiced all over
the world combining these two is a
unique approach at arts and crafts
though taxidermy trinkets and heirlooms
may not be for everyone number eight
then trilha quest dummy a staple of
horror movies having a living sadistic
ventriloquist dummy wreaking havoc on
your life is the stuff of nightmares
this picture is cut from the same cloth
fully exhibiting the sheer horror the
mere visitor and instill in others
number 9 a vampire heart the fictional
story of Auguste de Lagrange should be
familiar to horror fans everywhere
wreaking havoc in early 20th century
America Auguste was eventually caught by
a pair of vampire hunters and his heart
was staked as was the custom of the day
if this sounds like a horror story
straight out of a b-movie you're not far
off constructed as a prop or gaff this
realistic vampire heart shows the
evident effects of having a wooden stake
pushed through it still a mummified
heart although fake is still something
that can twist one's stomach number 10
the asylum there are few places on earth
creepier than an abandoned Asylum the
walls and floors seem to reek of terror
and despair one could just imagine the
screams of former guests as primitive
pseudo medical techniques were tried on
them number 11 the Dead Pool floating
corpses and hotel pools are not as
uncommon as one would think
swimming is a strenuous form of exercise
and a sudden heart attack can lead to
something similar to the scene shown in
this photo number 12 phantom dancer
innocent photographs can turn downright
terrifying when they capture surreal
things like a phantom dancer with no
legs taken by an excited mother this
photograph shows that odd things can pop
up in the most mundane of circumstances
number 13 giant grasshopper at the very
least grasshoppers are mild grassland
curiosities and at their worst a plague
upon humanity in the form of their
swarming locust phase still the image of
this giant grasshopper leaping across
America's grasslands is sure to keep
most farmers up at night number 14
double exposure we've seen ghosts and
apparitions appear in mundane day-to-day
photographs scary photos of ghosts
popping up beside people are common
nowadays but it is rare to find such
uniquely technical images of an
apparition appearing as a reflection in
the water there must be something about
the way the camera captures light and
the world around us that makes capturing
the image of ghosts far too common
number 15 shell-shocked World War 2
fighter
shell-shocked or what is now known as
post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD
affects millions of combat veterans
around the world the trauma of being in
a life-or-death situation scars a person
for life and in some cases drastically
affects his mental health smiling has
been shown as an evolutionary response
to fear or stress and perhaps nothing
can be so fear inducing or be so
stressful than to be in a war the
scariest part of this photo is the
madness and utter loss of humanity
lurking in the soldier's eyes and the
fact that even if he did survive the
human being he once was would have been
stripped away number 16 spontaneous
human combustion death can come for us
in a multitude of ways but few things
can be more terrifying than suddenly
bursting into flames there have been
numerous spontaneous human combustion
cases throughout history and all over
the world but there is yet to be a truly
conclusive explanation as to why this
phenomenon occurs theories ranging from
the wick effect to ketosis and the
traditional theory that these things
were simply the result of external
causes of fire are still insufficient to
fully explain spontaneous human
combustion this grisly photo shows a
particular quirk in most spontaneous
human combustion cases that oftentimes
the feet and a portion of the leg is all
that is left behind number 17 ghostly
photobomber ghosts in photographs are
considered by many as a harmless
phenomenon still some people believe
that capturing ghostly images is a
warning a sign of bad things to come to
those living beings who also happened
be in the photograph number 18 evil eyes
be it a trick of the light some obscure
photographic technique or a real-life
case of supernatural phenomenon this
photo of two dark individuals with
bright eyes can send a shiver down
anyone's spine number 19
Devil's popcorn the human mind has a
penchant for seeing patterns and the
most common things this usually
manifests in seeing outlines of faces or
symbols and things like clouds smoke and
in this case popcorn still the prospect
of a devil like village staring at you
from the bottom of your popcorn bag can
be quite terrifying number 20 terror
from the deep ever since the first jaws
movie sharks have been the epitome of
terror their predatory instincts coupled
with a dazzling array of sharp teeth
make them a threat for anyone willing to
wade into shark-infested waters
