Ever since cameras came along, people have been trying to capture spooky moments or trying to prove that the supernatural exists.

Some photos can be accidental — for example, you spot a shadow, a reflection, or a shape that just looks weird. Others can be intentional — like when an abandoned building or empty corridors give off haunted vibes.

No matter how creepy or terrifying an image is, we all know that mix of feeling scared but also hooked at the same time. You just can’t look away sometimes.

The r/Scary subreddit is full of creepy images, and we’ve narrowed down some of best snapshots that show the scariest, the most bizarre, and the strangest side of real life.

Some of these are bound to make you shiver and once you start scrolling, you won’t be able to stop.
