16+ Creepy Things People Stumbled Upon In The Woods

After all, it seems like exactly the thing you'd bump into before setting off somebody's forest trap.

Besides, "the creepier the doll head, the more sadistic the trap," seems like a good rule of thumb.

At least we won't have to wonder why somebody dropped a toilet in the middle of the woods. This scene would make even less sense without it.

It's either that or somebody decided to leave Bigfoot a present that was lowkey insulting.

I mean, he spends all day running through the woods and dodging hunters and photographers. He probably doesn't need this.

Since there isn't any water nearby, it seems unlikely that anyone was skinny dipping. I can't be the only one expecting Leatherface to pop out of this scene, right?

Well, at least we'd hear his chainsaw before we saw him.

This would barely be noticeable in somebody's yard, but unless it's sitting next to some hidden treasure, it's hard to picture what it's doing out here.

And that's especially true when the artist has presumably spent months lovingly rendering the image of somebody taking a dump.

Stranger still, the uploader said this area was marked off, so either somebody took the risk just to leave an octopus behind or they marked off this special area just for the creature.

Either way, I don't understand the motivations here.

Not only that, but there's actually an explanation for this one. The uploader said this was near an old railway line and had a sign saying "Waiting Room" posted near it.

As far as they can tell, somebody found a really elaborate way to make fun of British railway systems.

The only thing luckier than winning the lottery is coming across this thing without ever meeting the person who put it there.

After all, the uploader may not have survived to post this photo if that person was still lurking around.

If it's any consolation, this probably wasn't left here by a killer clown. After balloons float away, they eventually lose enough helium to drift back down.

Apparently, this was a livestock dumping sight, but it seems unlikely that the farmers arranged this into the weird, ritualistic pattern we see here.

Hopefully, this is just the handiwork of bored kids trying to be edgy.

Instead, they're worried that the artist stripped enough bark around this tree to essentially doom it to death. It makes the the carved figure even gloomier, really.

Otherwise, it would be hard not to think we've stumbled on an actual kidnapping victim and to get paranoid that the person responsible was watching us all along.

That's not to say that somebody painted it, though that would also be strange. Instead, this is the work of a Leucochloridium.

According to Wired, this parasitic worm invades a snail's eye stalks and makes them look and act like caterpillars so the snail will get noticed and eaten by birds.

I can only imagine that somebody shook their head with disappointment once they realized this forest was unsullied by anything's piercing, plastic gaze and knew they had to do something.

And the reason for that and for why this area isn't marked off with police tape right now is that these skulls never came from any human.

They look like they were cut from stone, but the uploader thinks they might actually be some kind of plaster.

As we've already seen, animal skulls can have some fascinating aesthetic value to them. This random, apparently very large bone hanging around, however?

That kinda raises more questions than we can answer.

Not in the least because it's hard to identify what exactly we're looking at. It's like an enemy from a video game that never made it to release.

I'm not sure what on this earth could avoid looking sinister after somebody hangs a bunch of them from a tree.

Maybe Garfield? He's a little too lazy to menace anybody.

Apparently, it belongs to a loggerhead turtle, but that also begs the question as to where the rest of it is.
