Spending enough time online will sometimes lead you to some of the weirdest parts of the internet. One good example is the WTF subreddit, which lives up to its name, for better or worse. 

From this online group, you’ll find bothersome images on different levels. Some of them involve farm animals in the backseat of a car, while others feature utterly creepy photos from their late grandmother’s collection.

This list continues from a previous one we compiled. Scroll through it and prepare to be weirded out today.

It might scare someone who knows nothing about Tarantulas but it wouldn't hurt them. They might hurt themselves trying to get away from it though. LOL

Honest question: Why is the spider kept in such a tiny box? I don't have spiders as pets, so I'm just wondering...

It was probably after he found the sac or he knew she was pregnant and wanted to make sure the sac would already be in there without accidentally tearing it and unleashing the little spider army.

I live in New Mexico, and I grew up playing with Tarantulas, they are very chill creatures normally. I've never tried to rile one up but I have seen them when they got defensive, they can jump pretty far/high. Tarantulas here in America have an additional defense: urticating hairs. They are pretty cool, check out their Wiki page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantula

Internet tells me they run about $50 each so that's a cash crop there. Even more if some folks pay you NOT to give them one. Meanwhile - where's daddy? OP says "my tarantula" not "my tarantulas"

You can't keep them in that plastic jail cell.. You're going to kill her and her babies. You're only excuse is if you are very young and don't know better. Please let them go.

This growing list suggests one possible theory: humans may be innately drawn to disturbing images. According to media scholars Annie Lang and Bridget Rubenking, there is an evolutionary explanation

“An attentional bias toward disgust—no matter how aversive—would better equip humans to avoid harmful substances.”

As psychology professor Frank McAndrew explains, creepy images and things are about “the uncertainty of threat.” Our gut sounds the alarm about possible danger, but the signals aren’t clear enough to urge immediate action. 

“So much of [what is creepy] is about wanting to be able to predict what’s going to happen, and that’s why creepy people creep us out – because they’re unpredictable. We find it hard to know what they’re going to do next,” McAndrew said.

Some experts draw a line between being scared and creeped out. As philosophy professor Dr. David Livingstone Smith told ABC Australia, "Creepiness is an attitude of simultaneous fascination and repulsion."

"When we encounter something creepy, we're drawn to it at the same time as wanting to get away from it," he explains.

Despite their longstanding involvement in many children’s parties, clowns often fall under the creepy category for many people. This fear is called coulrophobia, which affects 1 in 10 adults. 

Studies have shown that the clown’s painted face distorts the person’s real appearance, stirring feelings of distrust. Dr. Smith concurs. 

“Their fixed facial expression is mask-like — it belies that characteristic of a living breathing human being,” he explains.

A 2016 study published in the New Ideas In Psychology journal theorized that men are more likely to be perceived as creepy because “males are simply more violent and physically threatening to more people.”

The study likewise theorized that women are more likely to perceive a sexual threat from someone classified as “creepy.”
