The BBC notes that even some objectively ordinary things (e.g., dolls, clowns, mannequins) can have creepy connotations

According to Dr. Coltan Scrivner, a behavioral scientist and horror expert, the feeling of creepiness is something that almost anybody can resonate with. “If you say you’re creeped out, most people will know exactly what you mean.” It’s incredibly relatable.

That dust is still causing cancer. And I will never forgive, forget or pass an opportunity to remind folks that Republicans and Republicans only held up first responder healthcare funding. Firefighters died medically bankrupt because Republicans turned it into a political football for years. Years. If there is an objective good, you will find a christian conservative legislator in opposition. And while I should be used to it, this one still makes my blood boil.

Research shows that creepy things tend to be ambiguously threatening. A 2015 study into the psychological nature of creepiness found that it might arise in the gray area where things might or might not be dangerous.

Many people find things like mannequins, dolls, and clowns to be particularly creepy. They feel that these (objectively innocent) things have an underlying current of malevolence.

Some background: The people in the pool were protesting the racial segragation, because on June 11th 1964 MLK Jr. was arrested at that very Motel for trespassing, after he was asked to leave the segrgated restaurant. Shortly after this picture was taken, all those in the pool were arrested. Those were the laws back then. Nothing happened to that manager and actually people at that time saw him as the victim. Two positives from this incident: 1. The acid got diluted in that pool water, so nothing happened to the people in it. In fact police officers jumped into that pool themselves to drag them out. 2. This protest was part of many demonstrations that finally led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a landmark decision to stop racial segragtion. When I see this picture I'm always in awe because of the courage of those protesters.

Nothing happened to Brock, but his hotel was burned down by the KKK a while later, after Brock had been forced to "desegregate" after the Civil Rights Act. It wasn't justice, but at least irony.

When I see pics in history of pure evil racism, be it this one, or that pic of the little girl smiling ear to ear looking at a lynched black man, I think it's worth wondering who, and what party the racist pieces of filth would vote for today. The fact that we all know without saying it should give everyone who currently supports it pause and self-reflection but it won't. "I'm not RasCIsT...(just EVERYONE else I vote with)."

Having a choice out of two parties alone makes it very difficult to vote true to one's opinion. Plus the mathematical acrobatics applied. For me, this voting system would be unworkable. In Europe every vote counts directly, we do percentages, and can choose out of dozens of parties. The result that the in the end governing club and the opposition each consist of a wide spectrum of opinions, which ensures that the opinions of the voters are represented. Only those who didn't vote are not represented.

The final solution was to close the pools and if you were wealthy enough, build yourself a private pool. Goodbye fun places for communities to socialize and have fun. Racism doesnt just hurt POC it poisons a community for all. I'm only saying this because some people don't fight a fight unless they have something to gain from it. Others are capable of empathy.

There's a white guy in the pool too. Was it because they were not paying guests and they were using the pool unauthorised? And not getting out when asked to? I'm not condoning his actions, by any means, but I think there is more to the story than meets the eye. He is not pouring it directly on the people and I don't think it could have reached the woman with her face screwed up that quickly (this stuff is usually added to pool water and gets diluted pretty fast. I suspect it was a scare tactic as he woulda got in big trouble for injuring the white guy, at the very least).

Dr. Scrivener told BBC Bitesize that in real life, clowns paint on smiles, but on TV, dangerous clowns often paint on frowns. “This sends mixed ideas about whether they’re actually safe,” the scientist explained.

Meanwhile, clowns, dolls, and mannequins can scare some folks because of the uncanny valley phenomenon. In short, it’s related to how people feel uncomfortable when they see something that looks almost like a human being… but not quite.

It’s not just people, creatures, and things that can scare us. Landscapes, like lonely forest roads, can unsettle us as well. “Humans are social creatures so if you’re out by yourself and you see no one is there, it’s a great question to ask, ‘Why is nobody else here? Is there something wrong with this place? Is it dangerous?’” Dr. Scrivner said.

From Wiki: The Dyatlov Pass incident is an event in which nine Soviet hikers died in the northern Ural Mountains between February 1 and 2, 1959, under uncertain circumstances. The experienced trekking group from the Ural Polytechnical Institute, led by Igor Dyatlov, had established a camp on the eastern slopes of Kholat Syakhl in the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union. Overnight, something caused them to cut their way out of their tent and flee the campsite while inadequately dressed for the heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures.

Music, sounds, and silence can have a similar effect. However, context is vital here. “When a door creaks open that’s only creepy when you’re by yourself. It signals that something or someone may be pushing it slowly,” the scientist pointed out.

Alternatively, in a house full of people you know, a poorly-oiled door would be a minor annoyance at worst. Why? Because you feel safe and at ease.

Japanese soldiers during wwii were really ducked up. For example, when Japanese ship was sunked, survivors wave to Americans for a help. When rescue ships were close this mother f*****s used a granades to kill rescuers.

"Gary Leon Ridgway (born February 18, 1949) is an American serial killer known as the Green River Killer. He was initially convicted of 48 separate murders committed between the early 1980s and late 1990s. As part of his plea bargain, another conviction was added, bringing the total number of convictions to 49, making him the second-most prolific serial killer in United States history according to confirmed murders."

The Last Security Footage Of 17-Year-Old Kendrick Johnson Walking Inside The Gym Of His High School On January 10, 2013. The Following Day, His Body Was Found Rolled Up In A Gym Mat

Other students at the school said it was common for athletes to put their shoes behind or inside the rolled-up gym mats, so one of the theories is that Kendrick leaped/slid into the rolled-up mat to retrieve his shoes, got stuck, went unnoticed, and asphyxiated.

Not at all saying it should have been done, or that there were not times when it went horrifically wrong, but in some cases lobotomy seemed to work and bring relief to the patients.

He served under Putin. I'm not sure how "tragic" this assassination really was, if you get my meaning - other than the underlying tragic nature of ANY human being murdering another, no matter how evil the victim may be.

This is just Raymond Robinson, a man who was tragically disfigured in an electrical accident as a child. He was not creepy. He is not someone to be feared, loathed, or hated. Simply a victim of a tragic accident.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

As to the exploitation photos, keep in mind, the same thing is still happening today. We just hear less about it because we directly benefit from it and don't want to give up that luxury. No one's computer memes are being powered by the coal those kids mined a hundred years ago, so we have the privilege of tsk-tsking it from the comfort of the future. 100 years from now our great grandkids will be looking at Chinese prison camps, migrant field slaves, and trafficked child labor of today with the same audacity. We spoiled elite just choose to ignore it because it works for us right now.

"Creepiest Photos" was disrespectful to people in most of these pictures. A holocaust survivor is not creepy.
