We all have our ‘worst nightmare’ situations. It could be being buried alive, getting stuck in an elevator, or suddenly ending up face-to-face with a crocodile. 

But what if some of those seemingly absurd fears actually came true in real life? How would you handle such situations? 

These photos from the Fears I Never Knew I Had subreddit show just that. It’s a collection of creepy moments you likely never knew you’d come across. Many of these images involve terrifying arachnids showing themselves in unexpected places, gnarly injuries, and supposedly tranquil moments taking sudden, unpleasant left turns. 

Scroll through if you’re ready to be freaked out. But proceed at your own risk.

It's 3 AM and you groggily make your way to the toilet in the dark. You sit down and begin your business, when you hear "CROOOAAK!" You leap off the seat, slip on the rug, and bang your head on the bathtub. By the time the forensics team arrives the frog has moved on to the next house and they never figure out what happened. Happy Halloween.

This has happened to me. Twice. Returning home from my husband's funeral a garden table tied to the roof of a car, lifted and crashed the windshield. Second time an unsecured armchair fell from a pick up truck causing a 5 car collision. Both incidents occurred on interstate 95. Please be sure to use tie downs appropriately.

I hope this is just a "lucky" still photo and that the fire-thingy fell down in a sec. 🤭

Really this pretty cool. And if you have a home invader emergency you can just break the glass.
