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.

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!
Story is her dad raises tarantulas and is trying to educate people and explain they’re not that scary.
For real or did you make that up? If real, it seams to be an odd way of educating people..

Middle spider, whispering: "Look, it's pretend tea. It doesn't MATTER if it's Earl Grey or Lapsang Souchong"
And some for your Mr. Fuzzy Eight Legs, and some for you Mr. Venomous Mc'Bitey, and a little smidgen for your Mrs. Primella Creature of Darkness.

I wonder how she'd get along with the python girl... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFllvKn5Eh8
That story is adorable. Her dad has basically raised both the girl and snakes to behave properly around one another and she's never left unsupervised with them.

Hey thats my daughter, who BTW just turned 12 and is still in love with critters. and lets clear something up…..she is AMERICAN through and through 🇺🇸
My granddaughter had a huge plastic black spider like these ( I gave it to her for some reason at that time around 16 years ago) she loved taking in the bath with her and watch it spin when the plug was pulled out! She always rescued insects including spiders that came inside and put them out..she is 19 now, I must remind her..
Omg i used to do this with snails when i was little 😂 id put out little toy plates and cups with lettuce in in the garden and watch them eat 🤣🐌
Sorry my girl is American. She fell in love with them at the pet store and her dad bought her 5 lol

For the love of NOPE. Just bc they wouldn't kill me doesn't mean I'm willing to have tea!
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider, who sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.
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.
