scary

Whether it's the classic "We need to talk," or seeing a bunch of missed calls from your mom, we all know what would trigger us if we woke up seeing it on our phone screens. A Reddit thread asking people for the worst text message to wake up to has revealed some heart-stopping answers, which I know would send me into full-blown panic mode if I received them. Scroll through and see if any of these (nuclear threat warning aside), trigger you and bring up any bad memories. 

Falling into or being placed into a coma is scary stuff. Hovering between life and death isn't something that anyone would undergo out of choice, but it's still a fascinating concept for people to comprehend. Obviously one can never know what it's like unless they've experienced it themselves, but unfortunately plenty of people have been there. A Reddit thread asking people to describe their experiences of being in a coma has shed some light on the scary realities of being in such a vulnerable position. Here are some of the responses.

Just because we're in the middle of a global pandemic and museums are closed, doesn't mean we can't see the exhibits inside them! And thanks to a tweet from Yorkshire Museum, you can now see some of the most sinister objects in the world, as submitted on Twitter by museum curators. The Yorkshire museum created a week #curatorbattle on social media for museums around the world to showcase their creepiest exhibits, and museums from all over the world have taken part. If you're up for seeing creepy things in a jar, chopped up dolls' faces and severed fingers, keep scrolling down below. 

"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'... into the future."

Time is moving forward so freaking fast and we CANNOT HANDLE IT. Seriously, if these 25 tweets don't freak you out even a little bit then you're either lying or having a full-blown panic attack and have yet to acknowledge it. 

Don't worry, we're currently in the denial phase ourselves, and the panic attack is an ending wave crashing down on us. Not to sound dramatic or anything. 

You'll want to check your vents and attics after reading this thread...Ahead of Halloween, people are sharing #ScaryStories. One writer shared a tale that might make it harder for you to fall asleep.

Yikes. These stats are making us feel comfortable.

Sometimes, you come across something that makes you pause, this is one of those times. Apparently, there is a Facebook page called, "Toilets With Threatening Auras," and we've never been more intrigued, and terrified, at the same time. We've never really given much thought to an aura of a toilet before, but of course you'd want to feel safe when you're relieving yourself and at a vulnerable state. These images are truly the exact opposite of anything resembling comfortable...

This is a terrifying story that could've ended very differently. And it's sad that it took her stalker's death for it to stop, and the only way she was able to experience relief and gain control of her life once more. 

Twitter user, @johnniejae, shared her terrifying experience as a teenager, having an a stalker. The encounter started innocently enough, at the library and just escalated from there.

Did you know that an estimated 15.2% of women (18.3 million women) have experienced a form of stalking during their lifetime that made them feel in fear for their lives? 

Additionally, an estimated 5.7% of men (or nearly 6.5 million men) have experienced stalking victimization during their lifetimes. And among female stalking victims, an estimated 60.8% were stalked by a former partner.

Pretty scary, wouldn't you say?

Nothing like renting a cabin in the woods to get the creative juices flowin'! Australian comic book author, playwright, and screenwriter, Tom Taylor, decided to rent this solitude cabin in hopes of getting some work done. When he arrived at his Airbnb, it wasn't exactly the peace and quiet he expected... This story has more twists and turns than a daytime soap opera, from mysterious wind chimes to a sinister teddy bear. Get comfy because you're in for a wild ride! 

This is pretty insane! Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom, creators of the 'Which Face Is Real' sensation, state their reason for creating such a program, "to make you aware of the wase with which digital identities can be faked, and to help you spot these fakes at a single glance."
