Whether you are enjoying a leisurely stroll down the street or visiting your doctor, you can’t really avoid sign boards. They promote products, raise safety awareness, give directions, and provide other sorts of information. However, occasionally you'll come across signs that just make you shiver.

And you can find these kinds of signs in the Facebook group called “Signs With Threatening Auras." This online community is known for sharing eerie pictures with negative vibes, ranging from mistakes to outright bizarre remarks. Below, we've collected some of the most terrifying and entertaining examples of signs with strange auras that members of the group have shared.

    A threatening aura, specifically, can be a person, location, or thing that makes you feel like you're in danger, as seen in these photos. These animate and inanimate things are sometimes in a deranged state.

    Over the years, people have run into animals, food, texts, and even toilets that appear to have bad spirits. And the ‘Signs With Threatening Auras’ group is a fairly new addition to the internet aura community. Founded in 2020, they have amassed nearly 50,000 members.

    But if you just type the word "aura" into a search engine online, you will get varied results. You might either land on a spiritual website explaining how living things are surrounded by color-specific energy fields or you might read medical literature about the aura of a migraine.

    Out of all the people who get a migraine, around 25 to 30% experience an aura. A migraine aura is an outbreak of sensory disturbances or disruptions that an individual feels right before the actual attack. These distractions can be things like seeing sparks or bright dots, feeling tingling sensations on the body, or an inability to talk properly. These symptoms can change and evolve with time and they typically last 5-60 minutes.

    Auras don’t usually occur during every attack. There are 3 major types of aura: visual, sensory, and aphasic. People most commonly experience a visual aura. It accounts for 90% of all migraine auras and includes seeing zigzags, flashes, or losing the ability to see for a short duration. However, it’s confusing, as patients are unable to determine whether it’s occurring in one or both eyes.

    Dr. Kathleen Digre, a professor of neurology and ophthalmology and director of the Headache Clinic at the University of Utah, explained “Most of the time [the aura] starts in the center of vision and goes out. And it often goes out to one side or the other side. It makes the person who has it think that it’s in one eye… but it’s actually coming from the brain, from the occipital lobe.”

    Seeing the state of my physical fitness, it will probably hurt the whole way up too.

    It'll only hurt all the way down if you keep close to the wall while falling, otherwise it's just the landing that hurts.

    What idiot designed a building like this and didn't foresee that people would climb on it?

    13? 33 year old me would have been sorely tempted to climb that wall. The sign would have made it worse.

    Sensory aura begins in body parts like the fingers and mouth and can eventually spread. Sometimes it’s just a tingling sensation. An individual might feel its impact on only one side of the body. Aphasic aura occurs rarely, and it causes speech difficulty. Dr. Digre points out, “So they can’t think of the words they want to say, or the words come out wrong.”

    For most patients, an aura is followed by a headache. But in some cases, people don’t get the head pain; they just experience the aura. Only 4% of individuals with migraine auras don’t get a headache later. This generally occurs in 2 age groups: young adults in their 20s and 30s and older individuals between the ages of 40 and 60. It’s important that people visit a doctor when they go through something like this.

    While this type of medical aura is backed by science, research is still ongoing about color-specific auras. Many ancient traditions and cultures have spoken about the importance of human, animal, and plant auras for centuries, so there's something to learn from this intriguing phenomenon. The human body emits a small electromagnetic frequency, and some individuals believe it’s possible that’s what we pick up on it. For instance, when you meet someone new and connect with them instantly, it could be possible that you are picking up on their positive aura.

    To put it simply, it’s a form of energy that radiates in an oval shape around our body, and it can be changed based on what you are thinking, feeling, or experiencing in that moment. If a person is worried about numerous things in life, they might have a negative aura, but if they are excited about something, they might have a positive aura.

    The Mind Body Green blog points out that an aura can be associated with different colors. A person’s aura is usually a combination of colors where one color is more dominant than the others. And while your aura might constantly shift and change, here’s what some colors indicate: Red means you are energetic and fiery. A creative and positive aura is represented by the color orange. Indigo means sensitive and empathic.

    The color black denotes evil auras. Well, it would be the perfect color to represent these threatening aura signs. Sometimes, when you look at the eerie designs or texts on sign boards, it might creep you out. But folks online believe the best way to deal with threatening auras is by understanding their true meaning. Take a step back if you feel overwhelmed by these signs, and take a deep breath. If you are in a position to meditate, do it for a few minutes. You can always walk away if you feel too uncomfortable in such situations.

    Do you believe in threatening auras or auras in general? Have you ever seen a sign board that scared you? Share your thoughts with us, and don’t forget to upvote the most horrific sign.
