81 People Share The Scariest Posts That Made Them Question Reality
Ever since cameras came along, people have been trying to capture spooky moments or trying to prove that the supernatural exists.
Some photos can be accidental — for example, you spot a shadow, a reflection, or a shape that just looks weird. Others can be intentional — like when an abandoned building or empty corridors give off haunted vibes.
No matter how creepy or terrifying an image is, we all know that mix of feeling scared but also hooked at the same time. You just can’t look away sometimes.
The r/Scary subreddit is full of creepy images, and we’ve narrowed down some of best snapshots that show the scariest, the most bizarre, and the strangest side of real life.
Some of these are bound to make you shiver and once you start scrolling, you won’t be able to stop.

It's usually cheaper and safer (legally speaking) to use adult actors instead of child actors, if you can. You don't have to have tutors available on the set, or certain other staff members, if your "minor-aged" characters are portrayed by adult actors. My mom pushed me into acting as a child and wanted me to be a famous child actress (and make her tons of money) but my body got on the Maturity Train early, and casting directors would flat-out tell me that I looked "too mature" for my age XD My mom forced me to get emancipated in a desperate bid to make me more marketable, as I wouldn't need certain staff members to be present if I were an emancipated minor, but alas, I did not become a famous child actress. Only two IMDb credits XD

An Actual Spa I'm Currently Staying In
I'm coming to the end of a week's trip with my Dad and brothers.
We've been to Turkey (where my dad's side is from) to see family, friends, relax and get in touch with our roots.
At the end of the trip my Dad had a geothermal pool spa stay planned for us all.
He told us about it from the very start and had vouched for it the past few years as he's been with my sisters, or with his fellow brothers from his Muslim community.
It's REALLY secluded, up in the mountains, probably closest to like a small village or two but not much else.
Upon arrival we found out it had massively gone downhill and stopped being maintained.
Now I want to make it clear there are plenty of areas that look normal, and the facilities that are still functional are lovely (geothermal pool, chilled pool, Turkish bath).
But I came across a few questionably scary/liminal looking spots in the resort that just gave me the heebie jeebies and I had to share them here, because these photos together look like something straight out of a terrifying horror film (I'm a huge horror fan so maybe I'm biased).
Add to that, the fact that it's Ramadan currently, so most people arent travelling to these sorts of places and as a result there are like a total of 6 other guests staying here at the moment leaving the whole resort mostly empty, bar a few staff here and there.
The first photo is the hallway to our rooms, the end lights don't even turn on as you walk down into that dark abyss. shudders
The (definitely abandoned) children's play area is highly unsettling. (I didn't snap a photo of it but there's one sole tiny ride machine hidden in a dark corner, with a huge duck head with a massive beak and eyes staring at you from the darkness and it's f*cking terrifying).
The geothermal pool area - whilst VERY relaxing and therapeutic - looks like a summoning chamber.
The staircase area is liminal af and something about it just doesn't sit right with me.
Again, lovely stay despite it's lack of maintenance, but the vibe of these areas was too good not to share.
Would make a great spot to shoot a found footage horror for sure.

There are no wild alligators in Australia. Alligators are native to North America and China, and there are no species of alligators that are indigenous to Australia. The reptiles often mistaken for alligators in Australia are actually crocodiles.
