What are the scariest pictures in the internet?

The Starving kid of Sudan

This photo was taken of a vulture stalking a starving child in the Sudan. Thankfully, there is a happy ending: the boy’s name was Kong Nyong, and he survived and recovered from the famine after the picture was taken.

This mummy was discovered in a drifting ghost-ship.

This one stuck with me for a while.

A mummified ship captain was found in a half-submerged ship, which sailed on undiscovered for seven years after his death.

Decades after its capture, this photo is still used to educate people on the danger of lightning strikes.

Been through most of the thread and didn’t see this one yet.

In 1975 two brothers, Michael(18) and Sean(12) Mcquilken of San Diego ascended up Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park.

It was a stormy day and their sister Mary(15) took this photo as they were amused. It began to hail, and as they were descending Sean was struck by lightning

Elephant's Foot

Elephant’s Foot: it’s the melted reactor core in Chernobyl. The amount of radiation from it was fatal within a minute and even a short exposure would leave you sick and dizzy for weeks afterward. At the time the picture was taken it would be “safer” to approach but still fatal within 500 seconds.

The graininess of the photo is in fact not age, but trace amounts of radiation affecting its quality.

There are several notable and chilling photos capturing the last moments of their subjects.

This one is scary because of how normal it seems. It’s the last picture taken of 18-year-old Jolee Callan before her boyfriend shot her twice in the head and pushed her body off the cliff.

The picture of Regina key Walter

The picture of Regina Kay Walters moments before serial killer Robert Ben Rhoades murdered her.

The Falling Man for me.

For more context, this photo was taken during the 9/11 terrorist attack, when people began jumping from the top floors of the towers, knowing they weren’t going to survive.

The Hiroshima nuclear shadows.
