Nothing is immune to having a threatening aura. And by that I mean not even birds, cats, food, bedrooms, texts, adverts… even toilets. So if you stop for a minute and look around, the chances are you may run into one of these cursed souls hiding in both animate and inanimate things.

There’s even a Facebook group “Objects With Threatening Auras” dedicated to sharing examples of objects that people suspect have threatening auras. That includes day-to-day items like a can of SPAM or a road sign, as well as more elaborate human-made monstrosities like weird dolls and pieces of furniture that look more appalling than comforting.

Below we wrapped up some of the most spine-chilling and entertaining examples of objects with doomed auras shared on the group, so pull your seat closer!

Can someone confirm the company's testing process? Because if this is true, I will print this picture for my office.

I remember reading Salt by Kurlansky, and he described the number of tiger attacks increased dramatically on lumberjacks in India because of deforestation. The lumberjacks had to be paid double and triple their rates just to go into the woods. I thought to myself, "man, my job isn't that bad, in comparison."

As body temperatures fluctuate, it is not the brst control. Personally tested means a lab technician personally sticks it in a controlled water bath or such. C'm9n.

Reminds me of that joke about the condom tester on his first day, seeing other co-workers going at it and checking the condom afterwards only to be handed a magazine and some lube only to find out the first week was in hand

But did they need to buy and open it? Couldn't they have just said that while looking at it at the store?

I'm fairly certain you'll apply for the thermometer quality control department at Johnson & Johnson because that's a job you will not at all hate.

Why would you have to do all that just to read the paper that says "every rectal thermometer has been personally tested and sanitized"? Just read it with your regular clothes on and be grateful you don't have that job at Johnson & Johnson. That is insane! So unnecessarily theatrical! Also, I doubt that other rectal thermometers don't also have that on the leaflet in the box. I haven't tested that theory, because I do not have, nor want to ever have a rectal thermometer. Is this really what people do with their time?

To find out more about the "Objects with Threatening Auras" Facebook group, Bored Panda reached out to Jojo Lynne, a 26-year-old moderator who collects Magikarp merchandise, rubber duckies, and any threatening objects she comes across.

"The origin of the group is based on a gift I got from my partner a few years ago," Lynne recounted. "He sent me a picture of a chunk of lead that he carved 'I love u' into. I told him to bring it home for me, and he did!" Now, Lynne said she just has a piece of lead that they keep out of reach in a closet.

The community behind the "Objects with Threatening Auras" Facebook group is wonderful so far, Lynne says. "We do our best to foster an environment that's inclusive and fun to come across. Our entry questions probably reflect that the best," they explained.

Speaking of the entry questions, Lynne said that they get a lot of questions about the group's entry question regarding the shopping cart. "To clear things up, it's based entirely on a post about what kind of people do/don't return the shopping cart when able. It's a fun little question but it also gives me the tiniest insight to those joining the group," the moderator explained.

When asked about the content which gets shared on the "Objects with Threatening Auras," Lynne told us that all of the content goes through moderation first. "I make sure that the content is relevant to the group name and filter out anything that doesn't fit. I typically send a message to the group member to let them know why it was denied," they said. Lynne also added that they don't post blatantly offensive material or anything that could start arguments easily.

Wow, I think I will very personally FLIP OUT if my son decides to store my ashes in this rude, disrespectful and generally creepy manner. I shall haunt him forever.

And when it comes to the endearing appeal of threatening auras, Lynne argues that "the thing about threatening auras is that you don't really expect to be threatened by it."

They explained further: "There are objects that are supposed to be threatening, and ones that are not. With so many real threats, I think we find some laughs in objects that just have that vibe. There's an unlimited number of Objects With Threatening Auras as well, so that keeps it interesting for everyone!"

So far, Lynne doesn't have any solid plans for the group's future. "I could definitely use admins in the future because I'm the only one caring for the group at the moment and I'd really love to see it thrive more."

Do we have to smile in that creepy ‘I just walked in on my grandma taking a dump’ kind of way?
