We do a lot of posts at BuzzFeed about funny signs. Those are fun, aren’t they? You giggle at a bunch of signs like the one below and then go about your day feeling a little lighter. It’s nice, you know?
Well, I’m sorry to inform you, these signs are NOT funny. These signs are pure nightmare fuel, and will likely leave you with a feeling of dread in your stomach. So heed this:
Still here? Good. Here are 50 very real, and very scary signs:
1.
What exactly happened here to make the local government put up this sign?
2.
I think I’d skip swimming, thanks:
3.
And this sign on a freight elevator reads: WARNING — RISK OF BEING CRUSHED. (This is some disturbing shizz, you weirdo Swedes.)
4.
I’ve had bad dreams that start almost exactly like this:
5.
“Don’t worry!” this zoo says. Yeah, no. I’d worry.
6.
And these ominous signs appeared throughout Amarillo, Texas, often on people’s property. That’s all we know. (Shivers.)
7.
Imagine polishing off your sandwich and then looking up and seeing this.
8.
Good grief. This is why I don’t hike — you never see signs like this posted near my couch.
9.
And this sign in a school is so sad and unsettling.
10.
A guy posted this one after seeing it at his new job site. Thankfully they don’t have one of these at BuzzFeed.
11.
This is pretty unsettling…and based on the way it’s written it sounds like there’s something more nefarious to this story than meets the eye.
12.
And I don’t use meth (or crank, speed, glass, tweak, or yaba), but I’d still be seriously unnerved seeing a sign warning of death at the dentist.
14.
This is supposed to make you wear a lifejacket, but it’s making me simply not want to get in the lake at all!
15.
And I think the scariest part of this sign is the end.
16.
The creepiest part of this one near the southern border is imagining people staring up at it and wondering, “Is that true? Or a trick?”
17.
I am not “fit and adventurous,” so I guess I REALLY should stay away from here.
18.
And this one at a veterinary office is less scary than sad.
19.
Yikes. A furry getting shot and killed in the woods by a hunter sounds like a horror film….or episode of Law & Order.
20.
I am staying far away from anything referred to as “the drowning machine.”
21.
And this cute little sign should send shivers down your spine.
22.
Speaking of cute…a cute animated character doesn’t make this message any less disquieting.
23.
This is (literally) a chilling thought.
24.
And, once again, this is why I don’t hike.
25.
Catastrophic! That’s not eerie at all.
26.
I’m really hoping they have the same sign on the entrance to the slide.
27.
And the message of this sign isn’t disturbing, but holy crap the parents with giant eyeball heads certainly is!
28.
Well, this isn’t reassuring at all.
29.
It’ll be the “designated area” only for me, thanks.
30.
And the “this is your decision” really takes this one to the next level of creepiness.
31.
Did I mention you won’t catch me hiking?
32.
Bears. That’s great. Just great.
33.
And seeing one of these on an apartment door is just plain disturbing.
34.
This sign in an abandoned mine sure makes me uneasy too.
35.
This one…needs no explanation.
36.
And I hope no non-English speakers/readers approach this door.
37.
This one would make your heart drop, wouldn’t it? (Apparently, police were chasing a stolen car that went airborne and crashed in front of this Travel Center, killing the driver and injuring two people.)
38.
This one makes me want to never congregate with 10+ people ever…anywhere…just to be safe.
39.
And I could hold it. I could DEFINITELY hold it.
40.
400 years later this would still trouble me.
41.
Can I add caving to my list of things I won’t do?
42.
And this is at Ryan Dam in Montana. People are guessing that if you hear the blasts, the dam is about to burst. Oy.
43.
This one isn’t scary like a horror film, but it will stick with you (and not in a good way).
44.
This one just makes you feel uneasy, doesn’t it?
46.
You know what? Let’s have a little comic relief.
47.
Now back to the nightmares!
48.
You really don’t need the “Do Not Enter” part considering what it says next.
49.
That’s it. I’m officially crossing zoos off my list too.
50.
And lastly, this one is scary but hilarious too, so it’s a good one to end on!
Well, folks, I’m SIGNING out. Sleep tight!
