Creepy photographs have two essential elements – what is depicted in the image — and what is all too ominously left out leaving your mind to fill in the missing story.
The more powerful your imagination, the creepier the images become.
Some of the creepiest photographs reveal exactly why they’re so disturbing as soon as you look at them, others truly become unsettling only once you start pondering the possibilities.
Layers of terror that would have been unimaginable at the outset are often added once a book title is added. This is why many of these images were intended for the publishing market for mystery novels, horror or scary short stories of ghosts, murder, the occult or strange forces from the underworld.
Imagine the dark horror of being caught among these images, forced to spend a moonless night in their clutches.
