We’re truly living in cursed times. At least it seems this way with the amount of uncanny images netizens share on the daily. Looking at a picture of a cow used as a projector screen or a sandwich embellished with door hinges might leave you asking all the wh-questions. And there’s a big chance you won’t find answers to any of them.
Today, we’re looking at some of the most eerie things provided by the Facebook page “Cursed Images." With more than 19k followers, they’re posting visuals that are guaranteed to make you feel uneasy and strange. We’ll leave it up to you to decide, dear Pandas, if the things you’ll see come from the real world (*cue evil laugh*).

The first identified cursed image originated from a Tumblr blog in 2015, with a female photography and film student who was interested in searching for forgotten flash photography. She explains that some of them had an eerie mood about them, like something captured from another life. The blog creator was particularly fascinated with finding photos of dark, empty rooms, mannequins, and costumes, which eventually became common themes among cursed images.

i once had a coworker who celebrated her divorce with a HUGE party together with her ex husband LOL they just didn't love each other anymore as they thought they should as a married couple. but they wanted to stay friends so the divorce was just a "logical" decision. they said "we celebrated the wedding, why not the divorce that we thought better through?" they are still friends 6+ years later :)

The original photo was of an older man (click to see) surrounded by crates of red tomatoes in his basement, staring at the camera with a straight face. There’s nothing unsettling about any of it, but with the new caption “This image is cursed,” it became something entirely different. The picture suddenly gave off a strange feeling that you'd accidentally walked in on someone having a tomato ritual that you weren’t supposed to witness. A wave of unease and confusion washes over you, even just thinking about it.

The puzzlement here is created through a picture taken with an old flash camera or phone that often has an amateurish feel, containing odd specks of light and random things placed in very unusual ways. Bonus points if it’s slightly out of focus. This particular deviation from the normal creates a sense of unease and creepiness in our brains.

The tomato man image didn’t exactly go viral, but the concept of the cursed image really stuck, with copycat blogs popping up on Tumblr and then spreading to all the other social platforms. Now, almost ten years later, a community of eerie image collectors is thriving, each with its own quirks and explanations of what it means to be jinxed. Just like the dysfunctional furniture on the Instagram page “UglyDesign” or odd ways to use food on the “BoysWhoCanCook” feed.

I don't think male babies should automatically be circumcised. It genital mutilation no matter the reason.
Superninjatiger 2 years ago
American movies usually showed lotion in scenes to indicate male masturbation, it wasn't until a couple of years ago it clicked that they need it for friction, in my country it's rare with circumcisions, I think only some religious groups have it made at the hospitals here. I think that people should leave their kids private parts alone, it's messed up no matter the reason behind it (unless, as you say, its medically necessary).

Realistic Optimist 2 years ago (edited)
I think the post in the slide is saying its hypocritical to circumcise children/babies while advocating for abortion rights. It's not a good argument, but I think that's what the poster intended to convey. And, to be clear, it's not a good argument because circumcision has nothing to do with a woman's right to abort. It's a common tactic, known as a red herring, for those that want to justify a belief regardless of evidence/outcome.

Once your eyes land on a cursed image, it’s undeniably difficult to look away. Their appeal might be related to sensation-seeking - a tendency to pursue new and different feelings or experiences. In modern society, it’s made us magpies looking for new and shiny weirdness. Additionally, the feeling of being creeped out is our body's response to an ambiguous threat that requires a closer inspection to decide whether to fight, run, or ignore. It combines what’s comfortable and uncertain, driving our curiosity further down the road into an uncanny valley.

Going even further back, the roots of cursed images can be traced to easily shareable horror stories called “creepypasta.” They were mainly created to post on forums that discussed everything spooky and mystical. At the start of this community, users were mostly anonymous, allowing them to copy and paste any stories they’d like. Massive sharing of the borrowed texts was eventually titled "copypasta” which led to the creation of "creepypasta.”

Most of these unsettling little stories can be categorized into two types: those that tell firsth and experience or historical rumors, and those that create a myth of a creepy image. One of the most famous ones is The Russian Sleep Experiment, in which the author reveals grotesque scientific practices. The story entails a trial where five subjects were given gas to prevent sleep, and the lack thereof turned them into violent zombie-like creatures. It’s often shared alongside an image of a skeleton figure, which actually is an animatronic Halloween prop called "Spazm." Other popular myths of cursed pictures include Slenderman, Jeff the Killer, and Smile Dog. For anyone wondering, yes, your whole life has been a lie that began in the darkest corners of the internet.

I had a parrot when I was younger that I adopted from a rescue. He was a complete d**k. Cussed out anybody that got near him unless you had treats in hand. He also disliked women a great deal. He never nipped me but all my girlfriends got either bit or he liked to grab hair as they walked by. He was pretty old when I got him so his reign of terror only lasted 5 or 6 years.

What differentiates cursed images from creepypastas is that the fright is implied rather than explicitly stated right away. There’s a narrative behind it that allows us to interpret it however we’d like. Afterward, we’re left thinking that something bizarre and unsettling must have happened to create this jinxed image, leaving a dark aura floating around.

Weirdly, the uncanny images provide a sense of comfort in a logic-defying world by confirming that it’s not just us who seem to be going insane. They also challenge deepfakes and photoshopped pictures, showing a reality far weirder than anything we could make up ourselves. Sometimes looking at them feels like entering an alternate reality—a world full of mundane floor sandwiches and “Aldidas” slides.
