Halloween may still be a few weeks away, but a recent collection of freaky photographs is likely to leave you feeling a little unsettled if not utterly spooked.
Shared by social media users from around the world ,and collated by US site Know Your Meme, the photographs feature humans, animals and objects all looking somewhat out of sorts.
Among the bizarre snaps is one of a dog who appears to have exhaust pipes for eyes.
Meanwhile another image features a woman seemingly dwarfed by a giant cat and another shows a man with an inexplicably tiny arm.
While these scenarios may seem unnatural, they really haven’t been staged, and are just accidental.
Struggling to see, this dog has ‘exhausted’ all options in their search for the right kind of glasses
Thanks to perspective playing up, the snaps feature accidental optical illusions, which are nothing short of mind-boggling!
So, don’t be scared off by the sports fan with four arms, and don’t fear for the lorry driver heading for a giant ‘ditch’.
Here, FEMAIL shares some of the best images – the ones that will leave you curious, confused and maybe a little off colour, too…
