What is the scariest photo that exists?


  1. Please keep [Rule 8](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/wiki/index#wiki_-rule_8-) in mind if you're going to include a picture. If your picture is NSFW/NSFL please make sure you include that in your comment. Forgetting to do so will, at the very least, get your comment removed. Relevant part of Rule 8 for the lazy: >Unmarked NSFW links, unmarked spoilers, misleading links, spam, and the likes will also be removed. Editing comments and posts to mislead and/or advertise will result in removal of the post/comment.

  2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Tanzler I'm kind of surprised this wasn't already here. Look at the photo under 'obsession' to see the corpse this guy slept next to for 7 years. *Edit: Fixed confusing wording

  3. The [Bone Cancer Skull](https://imgur.com/ENQDw). Just imagine how much that would hurt, growing through your skin and eyes.

  6. [The Ruins of Dresden after WWII](http://www.famouspictures.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/A-statue-on-the-Rathausturm-overlooks-a-destroyed-Dresden-Richard-Peters.jpg) gets me every time. It just gives me this weird feeling that's something in between sorrow and sheer astonishment.

  7. The pictures from "coldnessinmyheart", a girl with borderline personality disorder: https://imgur.com/gallery/qG0AS (NSFW/NSFL) I had a friend who did nearly similar things and her body had hundreds of deep cuts, but I've never seen something that bad. Other pictures which I never will forget in this horrible way are from the vietnam war (like the famous one with the kids fleeing), or from WW2/holocaust/hiroshima.

  9. I can't go in detail right now(if you search around there is way more), but these [images](https://imgur.com/a/ITPQC). Basically, two girls disappear during a hike in Panama. 10 weeks later, their remains are found, just bone fragments and a few of their equipment is left. There is camera that has images. It starts off with normal images of the girls playing around as you would on a hike. You can see in the images they get lost at some point. The images abruptly stop after that. About 10 days later, 90 images are taken, most are dark, but a few show rocks and branches. One shows a bloodied hair of one of the girls. The fate of girls during and after those ten days leading to their deaths remains a mystery. All we know is that they attempted a few times to call the police, but no reception. The last being ten days after the disappearance. What's creepy is that when those last photos were taken, the girls(or girl) were cold, alone and scared trapped in a forrest at night. A lot of creepy theories abound about why those photos were taken.
