Have you ever seen something that immediately caused your heart to race? Most people have. Whether it’s a response to fear, anxiety, excitement, or sheer disbelief, you might feel your eyes are playing a trick on you. When looking at these 75 pictures, there’s a good chance you’ll have that same reaction.
So, buckle up, hang on tight, and enjoy the ride.
1. High rise…
…just not the kind people live in. Can you imagine having this job? And here’s the crazy part, it doesn’t look as though he’s wearing any kind of safety harness.
2. Stomach turning
There are so many questions about this pizza. Are those things dead or alive? Are they still venomous? Do they taste good? And why?
3. Speaking of questions
Why in the world is a woman standing on a roof at night? If you saw this, you’d probably question whether it was human or some kind of ghost. Right now, we’re leaning toward the latter.
4. Heart attack in 3, 2, 1
Oh my gosh. If you saw this after walking into your place of work, your heart would drop. At first glance, it looks like a person’s hanging there. But come to find out…it’s nothing more than awkwardly hung clothes.
5. Creepy crawler
How would you like to wake up to something like this? Thank goodness, it’s nothing more than a hair clip. Perhaps this guy’s girlfriend needs to find a different place to put that thing.
6. That’s downright scary
Some places require their workers to wear ear protection. If this individual had put those on…we can’t even think about it. The worst part…did you notice the red dot? Yeah, that’s a Black Widow spider.
7. Maiden to demon
Putting those socks on inside out would startle anyone. What do you want to bet that after reading this, some people will go home and start turning all their socks inside out just to see what they look like?
8. Run for the hills
After seeing this enormous spider, that’s probably what this person did. Hopefully, they eventually came home only to realize it was nothing more than a shadow of the lamp’s interior structure.
9. An intruder
That’s what this individual thought when they came home from work and saw this. It looks like a person sitting on the side of the bed. But after flipping on the light, it was just their backpack they forgot to put away.
10. No thanks
Yeah, sharing this toilet with a rattlesnake wouldn’t be anyone’s idea of fun. But for someone who’s afraid of snakes? Disastrous. Close the lid and use the other bathroom.
11. Boy, they weren’t kidding
We’ve heard of Blackened Chicken but never Black Chicken. Is that some kind of unique breed, is it burnt beyond recognition, or is it wrapped in some type of black plastic? Honestly, we don’t even want to know.
12. It’s possessed
If you live in Australia, you’ve probably seen a kangaroo or two. But looking out your back door to find this? That’d be enough to scare even the bravest person in the world.
13. Someone’s watching
The image in the background looks like some kind of evil ghost. In reality, it’s nothing more than this guy’s reflection in the glass. Talk about a heart-stopping moment when he turns around.
14. That’s going to be a rough landing
This man might not feel too much on his way down but once he hits the bottom, he’ll know he just messed up big time. On what planet did he think this was a good idea?
15. No way
That thing can’t be for real…or is it? You know, if this was in Texas, anything’s possible. After all, everything’s bigger in that state.
16. Keep the lights off
That way, you won’t see hundreds of cockroaches on virtually every surface in this bathroom. Then again, in the dark, you’d likely feel them crawling all over you.
17. Who’s there?
Seeing someone standing outside your door would be eerie enough but then if you call out to them and get no response. Your heart would race. Fortunately, this was nothing more than a pair of boots the homeowner forgot to move to the side.
18. Who needs a shower?
Finding that thing on the showerhead gives you a pass. No worries, you can stay dirty until it decides to leave. But then you have to figure out where it went.
19. Have motorbike…will travel
Perhaps in this country having five people on the same motorbike, including small children, is no big deal. But for most parents, this would be enough to send them into a tailspin.
20. How in the heck?
First, how did this massive spider make its way inside the toilet paper roll? Second, how did this person know it was there? We bet they changed their mind on using the restroom.
21. Hate it when that happens
It’s bad enough this person’s dinner was ruined. But they also lost a really nice plate. Try again and better luck next time.
22. Mind-boggling
Does this photo leave you scratching your head? Yeah, ours too. Somehow, this doesn’t seem like the smartest decision this guy could’ve made.
23. Just gross
This is almost enough to make you stop brushing your teeth. But just think about it — if this person hadn’t seen this, it doesn’t mean the spider wasn’t on it earlier. Yuck.
24. This will give you nightmares
What, it’s a nice photo of three sharp-dressed men. Well, not quite. Look closer in between the legs of the guy in the middle.
25. Dancing with the devil
Initially, that’s what this looks like. But it’s nothing more than a photo someone captured at just the right time. This woman is merely shaking out a red blanket.
26. Unbelievable art
This is so simple yet mesmerizing. Whether this person was tasked to create a sculpture out of colored pencils or just had too much time on their hands, this is magnificent.
27. That’s a bummer
When temperatures get super cold, things like this happen. And more than likely, it was on a day when this woman was running late for a very important meeting.
28. Another Texas insect?
If that wasp is real, it can have the shirt and any other items of clothing it wants. Even if it’s not real, it’s creepy.
29. Feeling left out
We have no idea if the girl’s image in the window is an actual child who wasn’t allowed to be in the photo or a strange apparition. What makes this eerie is that the photo is really old.
30. Time to invest in something new
When the bathroom’s dark, these scales look like an evil smiley face. The homeowner says they get scared all the time. If that’s the case, it’s time for a replacement.
31. Oops
While all the people on the ground were awestruck by this, those on the plane were probably saying their prayers. There’s no way this was an enjoyable experience.
32. A new trend?
Just looking at this makes your pulse increase. It’s partly because this is so weird and partly due to the fact that you wonder how they did that without cutting their finger.
33. Mating season
We have no idea. Is there such a thing as a worm mating season? The one thing we do know is that people who don’t like anything slimy are going to have a hard time walking by something like this.
34. Scarred for life
Some little girl used to have an adorable baby doll. But then she dropped it. This was what she discovered on the inside. That poor child will never be the same again.
35. That’ll scare the daylights out of you
A man came home to find this and thought he was going to have a heart attack. Even after learning it was nothing more than a comforter his wife threw over a chair to dry, it didn’t make him feel any better.
36. Nothing going on here
To everyone else in the world, standing that close to a tornado would be enough to make them run and hide. But not this guy. Either he doesn’t see it or he lives where tornadoes are a common occurrence.
37. A friendly pet
A lot of people own animals. Some prefer dogs and others cats. This guy, well, he likes his precious alligator. We’re guessing he doesn’t get a lot of visitors.
38. Safety first
With so much craziness in today’s world, it’s relatively common for people to look for exits whenever they visit a store. Fortunately, this one had a sign right above it. Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
39. Stranger in the house
When having a party, it’s fun to put polaroid cameras in different places so guests can take random photos. After a special event, the host looked at the photos. She was convinced that a stranger had been in the house.
40. A dark beast
A young woman went to stay at her mom’s house but without realizing she’s recently purchased a new coat rack. All she saw was some kind of dark beast that was waiting to devour her.
41. Open wide…
…so, I can eat you. That has to be what this shark was thinking. The moment this happened, the couple probably freaked out. Just looking at the photo you can feel your heart beating fast.
42. Attack of the turkeys
Just imagine if you were driving along, minding your own business, when a flock of turkeys decided to take control of your car. Yeah, they’re just birds but there’s a lot of them.
43. We can’t breathe
This is one of those images that once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it. One false move or a slight gust of wind and this guy’s toast.
44. DIY nails
Looking at this photo you probably gasped. Not because this woman’s nails are beautiful but just the opposite. Come on, those are hideous.
45. Double-take
Is this a man with women’s lips or a woman with a man’s mustache? It’s not either one. This individual made their upper lip look like hair and then drew on the bottom lip. No matter how you slice it…it’s creepy.
46. Bad design
We’ll never understand why someone would put a bathroom right next to the basement stairs without some kind of partition. The one good thing. Since it’s so dark downstairs, no one is going to spend much time in that restroom.
47. Call 911
That’s what any sane person would do if they saw this. Thinking people might be trapped inside would make your heart race. But there’s no fire. It’s just the sunset reflecting off of glass.
48. That had to hurt
The person who captures this tumble probably didn’t know whether to panic or laugh. As long as this woman wasn’t injured, they likely had a good chuckle at her expense.
49. Don’t look
The individual operating this machinery almost vertical on the side of a cliff is either super skilled or extremely crazy. This is one of those photos you don’t want to look at yet you can’t stop yourself.
50. What’s with all the ladders?
Does this man realize how far he is away from the floor? This increases your pulse and takes your breath away at the same time.
51. Watch out
If you saw a spider on the couch where you were about to sit, you probably wouldn’t be too happy. After all, who likes spiders? Fortunately, this is just a piece of dark fuzz.
52. Too close for comfort
It’s safe, they said. It’s just a short boat ride where you can get up close to nature, they said. That’s all fine until something like this happens. Now, you need to get your blood pressure to go down.
53. Beautiful yet scary
Many lightning strikes are beautiful, like this one. But when it hits this close to your car, you suddenly have a change of mind. Now, they’re just scary.
54. Run like the wind…
…in the opposite direction. This guy must be like a cat with nine lives. Hey dude, smoking a cigarette right next to a “Danger: Flammable Gas” sign isn’t the smartest move.
55. Sympathetic pain
That’s what you feel when you look at a guy’s hand covered in quills because he mistook a porcupine for an opossum. He won’t make that mistake again.
56. Pet rocks?
These “pet rocks” have gone through a big transformation. They used to look cute and friendly. These? Well, don’t turn your back on them. Are those real teeth?
57. No sleeping tonight
The person who lives in this apartment won’t sleep very well. That’s not dirt on their front door but a grease stain. You know, the kind that comes from someone’s face as they press against it trying to look in the peep hole?
58. The scare of a lifetime
This individual came home to find what they thought was a leg sticking out from around the corner. Nope…just rolled up paper that somehow got stuck inside of a tennis shoe.
59. Breaking the rules
This guy isn’t following any of the legal requirements for transporting propane gas. If you ever find yourself driving behind someone like this, you can avoid a disaster by keeping your distance.
60. Holding your breath
If you came upon a sight like this, that’s like what you’d be doing. Sure, that equipment can do a lot but we don’t think it was intended for this purpose.
61. Got your attention
Seeing this in your kitchen would lead to more than just an increased pulse. We’re talking more like serious heart palpitations. Good grief, that’s huge.
62. A terrifying moment
Finding this in your bed would be enough to terrify anyone. It looks just like someone’s sleeping. But it’s just a messy blanket and a pillow. Whew…that was close.
63. Please, say it isn’t so
What would you do if you walked in your house to find your flatscreen television with a beer can through it? More than likely, your blood would boil. But even scarier is that someone got mad enough to do this.
64. Changing habit
If you’re one of those people who love eating fresh berries right off the vine, this photo might convince you otherwise. Instead, it’d be better to take them home for a thorough washing before you pop them in your mouth.
65. A little disturbing
Look, all kids do weird things. But what this eight-year-old girl did was both sad and disturbing. When her uncle asked what she was doing, she told him she was trying to bring her mom back to life.
66. Stay back
Especially if you’re scared of bees or worse, allergic to them, a sight like this will make your heart jump out of your chest. This isn’t the time to be brave. Call for backup.
67. Was this a prank?
Whoever left their fishing waders at the bottom of the stairs either wasn’t thinking clearly or they did it as a joke. Well, it’s not funny because it just about gave someone a heart attack.
68. The mysterious door
If you were out mushroom hunting in the woods and came upon this, would you open it? The person that found this didn’t because they were too freaked out. Now, we’ll never know what’s behind it.
69. Out of his mind
The person who snapped this photo had to be in panic mode. What if this man rolled over or started to sleepwalk? This guy needs to think of his neighbors and not just himself.
70. A recipe for disaster
So, how many people does it take to get a couch out of a second-story window? Apparently, quite a few. And the way they’re doing it, there’s a good chance something’s going to go wrong.
71. Invasion of privacy
When people wake up in the morning, they don’t expect to see something like this. But for one couple, the neighbor’s dog, which happens to have human-like eyes, stares in their window. Even though he’s been doing this for a while, it still gives them the creeps.
72. Not your battle
If you ever see a snake and a gigantic spider embroiled in a fight, walk away…after you panic of course. And you might need to take some blood pressure medicine.
73. There’s no hope
For some people like this guy, that’s a true statement. Whoever captured this photo had to have noticed a significant jump in their heart rate.
74. Is she alive?
After pulling her old doll out of the attic, one woman immediately felt uneasy. The doll, which was made to look like her as a child, had changed. After being stored for years, her eyes turned red. That’s spooky.
75. This couldn’t have ended well
One look at this photo and your heart stops. You see the writing on the wall and there’s nothing you can do about it.
