But the concept of cursed images has been circulating online for a few years now. According to the famous internet culture catalog Know Your Meme, these pictures are generally seen as disturbing to the viewer, either due to poor photo quality or abnormal and illogical content.
The idea of cursed images initially started on Tumblr, and the first account to publish them exclusively was of the same name as this Twitter account. Its first post appeared on October 28th, 2015, and gained just over 1,200 notes.
Images of this or similar nature are sometimes seen as the visual equivalent to CreepyPasta, a genre of short horror stories.
This Twitter page aside, they have inspired several popular social media accounts. In fact, we've already covered one of them!
Fun fact, what you see on the right is the deer's own skin hanging off the antlers, in a process known as velvet shedding which is rare to capture. Typically spring through summer, the male deer's antlers will look rounded and velvety. The thick velvet skin is needed to carry nutrients efficiently all the way up the antlers to make them very strong each year as they are regrown - possibly the fastest-growing structure in the mammal world! As autumn begins, the skin dies and falls off with some tree-rubbing assistance, and the strong, sharp, bony antlers are revealed, ready for flair and fighting to win over their mates.
