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.

I've seen enough movies about switching bodies to know that is what's happening here.

Move over SNOOPY, this is the real KOOL JIVE DOG. I'M KOOL, I'M KOOL BABY.
I REALLY hope that the guy below that poor dog didn't do something on purpose for the sake of a picture. Looks sus the way his arm is reared back with a semi-open hand. As if someone was in position to take the pic and that guy hit the dog from below. I mean, obviously I don't want to falsely accuse someone but how else do you explain this picture!? The dog was in fast motion when the pic was taken... guy below it looking like he does. Makes sense. And if that's the case then this is truly fu€k!ng sick and unacceptable.

Took me way too long to figure out how this dog was actually oriented 🤣
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.
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.’
When a little girl asks you to play house with her, you play house with her!
That's just so dangerous! All kinds of bacteria, chemicals, and other stuff.
I don't think there is anything wrong with this TBH. It's like grandma (RIP) watching lil Timmy play.

Quite the broad category. Most of what I gathered was Animals have reflective eyes- duh, not scary Westerners waste food for likes- sad People suck at Halloween costumes
I shall gift one of my own images into this collection. iapeetus-6...8a-png.jpg
Half of these pictures are just bad shops. Probably from /x/ on 4chan in the latter half of the 2000s.
People are getting more desperate by the day. Thanks for the madness and insanity, YouTube, Jackass, and Facebook.
