Out of all the Twitter accounts out there, few live up to their name as well as 'Cursed Images'.

It shares random pictures from random times and random places with random subjects doing random things. But they all have one thing in common; they make you feel uneasy.

Whether it's a playground next to a cemetery or just a fridge full of naked action dolls, these shots raise more questions than they answer and the lack of context behind them is a big part of what makes them so tense.

Continue scrolling to check out our handpicked selection from 'Cursed Images' and upvote your most (least?) favorite ones. OK, be right back, need to get myself an exorcist.

More info: Twitter

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.

Thank you for the explanation but I wasn't worried about the dangly things on the antlers... More about that ghostly child on the left, you know... 😐

My daughter used to sleep walk. We had to put locks very high on every door that led to the outside. After my husband caught her walking next-door to the neighbors house. We live in the country, the neighbors house is not that close. Very scary.

Next to my grandad's farm lived a girl that sleepwalked. They had to change their locks too, after finding her quite close to the dam.

Raised by deer. Found in the thicket at 4. Still escapes to visit adoptive parents.

That girl isn’t even there, the story behind this picture is that a dude took this picture on like a motion camera or something then he used some some editing software to put her in…. I think that’s how it went, it went something like that but I’m not sure how it went exactly..:.

I figured something along those lines. Deer are very skittish, no way a lost kid would be around like that. OR, she is a ghost raised by the depths of hell! I am going for the photoshop thing though.

I really need to know the story here. Did she intentionally wander off because she loves tgecwoods/animals? Is she sleep walking? Is she a feral child? What HAPPENED TO HER?

We have game cameras that take night shots like this. If I EVER saw a little girl in one of them I would freak right the F**K out. I have NO WORDS for this shot. The doe looks like she is looking right at her and has no concern of her being there. I would really like to know when, where and how this shot was taken. They don't look like fallow deer that some people raise. IDK

To be honest, the ghostly child is far more disturbing than the deer.

But if cursed pics are something you're not very fond of, try the polar opposite of them and check out these 50 blessed ones.

But that's not all. In case you're willing to do a little digging yourself, there’s also a hybrid variant that is both blessed and cursed. It's called ‘blursed.’
