47 Of The Creepiest Photos And Pictures That Left Lasting Nightmares For Many
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, without any written context, an image can look simple and innocent. Even if something looks ordinary at first glance, it doesn’t mean that it really is. Just beneath the surface, you can sometimes find a disturbing and terrifying story. Other times, the horror is plain for everyone to see.
Bored Panda is featuring some of the creepiest, most disturbing, and cursed images that have ever found their way onto the internet. They are blood-chilling and haunting, and you’ve been warned. Don't blame us if your fight-or-flight response kicks in, or if you freeze up.

8 Year Old Christian Golczynski Receiving The Flag From His Fathers Military Funeral Is The Most Haunting In My Mind
Kabuki Kitsune 1 month ago (edited)
This always struck me as a bit odd. Traditionally, the flag is given to the widow of the fallen soldier. For those curious, the Marine is saying this to him. "On behalf of the President of the United States, and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful service." The Corps did look out for him. He's a junior at the University of Alabama, majoring in Management Information Systems, on a scholarship paid by the Corps.

Tourists Photographed In Front Of The Omagh Car Bomb Moments Before It Went Off. (They Survived, But The Photographer Didn't)

I remember these times, it was so scary. I grew up in Birmingham UK, I remember shopping with my mom and brothers in the bull ring and an announcement would ring out that there had been a b**b threat and everyone scattered, nothing happened but it was scary! Fast forward to when I was roughly 24 and the IRA had planted two pipe bombs outside a club I was at, for some reason they didn’t detonate as was intended and nobody got hurt but it was terrible and I never went into town again,

Seasons Greetings From Ferguson Riots
BarkingSquirell 1 month ago
Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and k****d on Aug. 9, 2014, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in Ferguson, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis. The shooting prompted protests that roiled the area for weeks. On Nov. 24, the St. Louis County prosecutor announced that a grand jury decided not to indict Mr. Wilson. The announcement set off another wave of protests. In March, the Justice Department called on Ferguson to overhaul its criminal justice system, declaring that the city had engaged in constitutional violations. (New York Times)

Maybe Not The Most Chilling, But Frightening: American Airlines Flight 191
Kelly Scott 1 month ago (edited)
Mechanics had used a forklift to remove the engine and pylon as a single unit during a prior service, which cracked the wing's mounting pylon structure. They were supposed to take the engine off by itself. So when the plane took off, the engine fell from the wing. What's worse is that if the pilot had put full power to the plane, he might have saved it as these planes can fly with just one engine. But he throttled back, causing the plane to cartwheel and explode on impact. The seats inside had small television screens so the passengers could see themselves take off. Those were promptly uninstalled in all the other planes. There was a trailer park next to the airport and many of the inhabitants were retired police and firefighters. After the crash, they told of hearing people walk up to their trailer and then opening the doors and seeing no one, even after someone knocked. Or they saw a man walking away with his coat smoking. The people in question could be considered to be fairly reliable witnesses. People have also seen a man talking in an old phone booth inside the airport who then vanishes.

I may be in the minority, but I find it tasteless to place pictures of people who are about to d*e in a forum like this. Talk about lack of dignity in d***h.
