There are lots of reasons why people enjoy weird, strange, disturbing, and scary things. For one, horror-related content can be quite unique and entertaining. It’s an adrenaline rush and a mood booster.
On top of that, having fun with horror can actually be an extremely important tool for learning, according to the director of the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, Mathias Clasen.
“We learn something about the dangers of the world. We learn something about our own responses: What does it feel like to be afraid? How much fear can I take?” he told The Washington Post.

In one of the stories about Nasreddin Hodja, he says he’ll do what people ask him on one condition: if they don’t think about monkeys. “Worse even”, he says, “if you begin to imagine those creatures the way they are…” and goes on to describe monkeys in copious detail. None was able to detach enough to not start thinking about monkeys immediately. Human psychology is weird.

Load More Replies... Meanwhile, a research scientist at Aarhus University’s Recreational Fear Lab, Coltan Scrivner, says that some people are able to challenge themselves to face their fears.
According to Scrivner, by playing around with their fears, people could “learn some emotion regulation skills for how to feel because you’re expressing them and feeling them in a safe place.”
What’s more, by exposing yourself to this type of scary content, you can develop psychological resilience to real-life threats and risks.

Now I know how I appeared to the male wood bees who would hover at eye level deciding if I was a threat or allowed to pass. FYI male wood bees can't sting, but they try to intimidate you away from the nest. They will k**l other male wood bees over territorial disputes. The female remains in the hole, and she will sting, and it will hurt. So, don't stick your finger into a wood bee hole.

The creator of the ‘Things Only Get Weirder’ page opened up all about the project and why people enjoy weirdness so much during an earlier interview with Bored Panda.
According to Brian, he started the project on Facebook as a way for him to store the strange and creepy images that he was saving on his phone.

And let's not forget how many years of remembering this walk of shame will appear just as we're falling asleep.
“I wanted a quick way to store them [the photos] online without having to spend money, so I created a Facebook page. This would allow me to bulk upload my images, and I could easily find them, and while it wasn’t a goal at the time, I left it public so others could stumble across it," Brian shared with Bored Panda earlier.

Please listen carefully to the following menu of options: To have your scream disappear into the void, press 1 and scream after the tone. To have the void scream back at you, please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order it was received."
The creator was happy to share his perspective on why weird, creepy, and strange content resonates so strongly with internet users.
“For some people like me, we just get something out of being made uncomfortable in a way by certain images. Almost like how horror movie fans like to be scared, I like to see something so incomprehensible and weird that it invokes a sense of anxiety,” he explained.

I really wish people would learn where an apostrophe goes and where it doesn't.
"For others, I think that we live in strange times, transitory times, and even scary times. And I feel like trends in artwork a lot of the time reflect the times we live in. Like the advent of Liminal Space imagery, pictures of transitory spaces, a longing for older days now abandoned. Or dark images that reflect the state of the world we live in. I think, on some level, subconsciously, these types of images can resonate with people even if they don't know why,” he shared his perspective about why weird content is so magnetic.

On top of that, the creator of ‘Things Only Get Weirder’ told Bored Panda that weirdness is related to both uniqueness and authenticity. “Because weird in simple terms means different. I feel like people need to be weird. I feel like when they are, that is their truest self! It's what separates you from everyone else,” he said.
And, just like the name of the Facebook page suggests, it’s likely that things really will only get weirder in the future. "I do think humanity will get weirder. Because we are weird. If you think about it, we are the weird-shaped puzzle piece in our world; we stand out from every other creature on earth. It is what has carried us to now, for better or worse,” the creator shared his perspective on life.

The creator also shared a bit about how he curates the type of content he shares on Facebook. “I hesitate to say 'mainstream', but I am in a way always looking for the deep cuts of weird images. I love digging through small pages of people who share the same types of content or, better yet, people who make it themselves. I always try and promote those creators,” he said.
“All I want to give people is some sort of visceral feeling from what’s gracing their screens.”
Brian also urged everyone to be themselves, unapologetically. "Love what you love and don't be afraid to be proud of the things that make you weird and unique. You are never alone, there are people just like you out there, go find them.”

So I had to look this up: The Dark Tickle Company is located in St. Lunaire - Griquet, on the Great Northern Peninsula in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It makes wild berry jellies other products and also conducts boat tours of the wildlife. The story behind the name: A ‘tickle’ is a narrow salt water channel. It is also the area in Griquet where we were originally located and as represented by the picture in our labels. In our case it is 'dark' as it is surrounded by high hills.

There is definitely too much of this going around in the US, from everyone.
The ‘Things Only Get Weirder’ page was created back in June 2017, and it’s still going strong today.
It currently has 328k followers on Facebook who enjoy the content shared there, “from the beautiful to the macabre and all sorts of strangeness in between. The curator of the project urges everyone to “stay weird.”
Not a bad suggestion in a world where social media content tends to be overly edited and beautified.
