Why is it that when we look at something that spooks us, we can’t take our eyes off of it? There’s something almost magnetic about the things that make us uneasy, especially with photos where something just feels a little off.
These photos spark up curiosity and discomfort, and even though they make us take a second look and be slightly more aware, they also have us wishing to never run into whatever these are.
They don’t need a monster to make us feel an unsettling feeling, and even when it lingers after we scrolled past, we can’t seem to look away.
