    We’ve come to a point where ostentatious scare pranks don’t scare us anymore. If there’s anything that can frighten the life out of us, it’s those that comes out from our wild imagination. For instance, innocent things that appear to come straight out of our worst nightmares. We tend to be on the alert all the time so we can perceive and avoid dangers before they could strike. However, being too cautious and sensitive to our surroundings can also put us in an unfavorable position. Due to our intense fight-or-flight reaction, we sometimes perceive even harmless innocent things as threats.

    How many times have you sensed that someone is following you when it was actually your shadow that’s stalking you? How many times have you been startled by a ghost gazing through your window when it was actually just a reflection? You probably have your own embarrassing stories to share as well. Indeed, our own eyes can play tricks on us by perceiving innocent things differently in a creepy way. And when panic response starts to kick in, this little misunderstanding can really give us a heart attack.

    Perfect coincidences, optical illusions, or just simple misconceptions, our playful imagination can really freak us out sometimes. We’ve compiled a list showing some of the instances where people stumbled upon terrifying scenes that turned out to be just innocent things. And we truly sympathize with these people who captured these spine-chilling moments. Take a look at these shocking photos of ordinary things that almost gave people a heart attack. And don’t let your eyes trick you.
