34 Unsettling Photos With Creepy Backstories That Will Keep You Up At Night

22. Metal bands…

The album art for Mayhem’s bootleg live album “Dawn of the Black Hearts.” (NSFL)

After Dead, the lead singer, shot himself, guitarist Euronymous found him. Instead of calling the police, he bought a disposable camera to take photos, one of which became the cover of the album.

23. Why do these things keep happening

This picture shows a bunch of friends and I. Halfway through the night we decided to take a group picture. Let it be known that everyone at this party knew each others full names and it was at a low-key type place. Anyways, if you look closely, in the far right of the picture, shows a head peeping in. No one knows who this person is and no one can recall seeing him from the night before. We figured this out once it was uploaded to FB and got a better look at the picture. It still does give me the chills.

24. Damn, that’s crazy

This is Holger Meins, a terrorist member of the West German Terrorist group Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang). He was captured in 1972 and starved himself to death in prison in 1974. He was 6 foot and weighed about 85 pounds when he died. Another terrorist, Hans-Joachim Klein, used to say “I keep this image in my wallet to keep my hatred sharp.”

25. It went from normal to uncontrollable screaming

Not a photo or creepy per se but definately the most horrifying thing I have ever seen or heard. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

A brick flies off a truck in the oncoming lane and smashes through the windshield of a car instantly killing the mom. The dash cam records it all and the families reaction. Truly horrifying.

26. Just looking at it makes me feel like I’ve been poisoned

The “Elephant’s foot”. This is a photograph of Chernobyl’s reactor after the meltdown. Many people died to get this picture taken. Today it lives on as a real life medusa having killed all who saw it in person.

27. This image upset me too

Not sure if this has been posted yet but this image of the guy about to to killed by the subway train from the NY Post really upsets me
