But thanks to social networks, we managed to collect the most mysterious, sinister and creepy photos on the Internet.

At first glance, this photo looks all right: a few divers enjoying snorkeling. But the diver in the background lies at the bottom separately from the rest.

The photo itself does not look scary, but only if you do not know what story is behind it.

In general, Sindh is not the place to go for people suffering from arachnophobia.

Many people know famous horror movie characters such as Jason or Michael Myers, but the most famous and terrible is Freddy Krueger.

Imagine that you are walking through the city and suddenly come across an ad. A small piece of white paper with handwritten text stuck on with a strangely shaped piece of clay.

Then he will make a little doll out of you, plant the same ones with others and play strange games with them. When you finish reading the note, these words will probably stick in your mind.

However, looking at Lisa, one cannot say that she is such a pleasant friend: she has a bloody mouth, hands, eyes and chest.

Little is known about this photo. The girl is looking at movies in a vending machine, her head hanging unnaturally back. Some believe that the security camera captured a demon-possessed girl.

It is not difficult to imagine how horrified these people were.
