There is a saying ‘to be afraid of one’s shadow’ and sometimes we literally can be scared by our own shadow or a chair or a pile of clothes in a dark room at night. Our brains usually can’t wait to start painting a terrifying picture in front of our eyes that will make our blood run cold. We made a compilation of 20 pictures which are exactly THAT, meaning people were frightened almost to death when in reality there was nothing to be afraid of.
