By now, the internet should have taught us all that you can’t trust anything you see, read, or hear at a first glance. There’s almost always more to every image and every story, and these 16 images are the proof in the pudding.

Because they’re totally going to wig you out…but only at first.

16. This is a big ol’ nope.

Birds wig me out in the best of times.

15. They’re just plants.

And no, I don’t think they could take a bite out of you.

14. This would give me a heart attack.

I’m sure I would have to eventually move them.

13. I know it’s just a perspective thing.

I still don’t like looking at it, though.

12. Why would someone do that?

No one needs to see this ever.

11. Pets are a lifetime commitment…

Which is ok because I would be dead after seeing this.

10. Perfect lighting.

If you’re looking to film a horror movie.

9. I have questions.

Like what was in/on that glove that they are so interested in!

8. The stuff of actual nightmares.

I am horror-struck.

7. The dog looks ashamed of himself.

As he should, to be honest.

6. The end is nigh.

It must be that the apocalypse is on its way.

5. I kind of love this.

Precious puppy playing dress up.

4. Get that on camera.

Someone would call it a ghost sighting for sure.

3. This picture always wigs me out.

I’m not convinced the explanation is real.

2. That is a person.

You will not convince me otherwise.

1. Definitely do a double take.

And turn on the lights just to be sure.

I hope we didn’t spike anyone’s heart rate too high before you took a second look.

After all, we’re just trying to have a bit of fun!
