Something is terribly wrong with this picture. Stare carefully at the picture to figure it out. Most people usually spot the problem within a minute.

    Hah can’t believe people fooled for this. It’s dark so I didn’t wanna get too scared so I instantly muted the laptop and scrolled down to make sure it wasn’t going to change picture and scream or something. Looks like I was right.

  2. diksha says:

  3. Grace says:

  8. R. says:

    what the hell!i wasn’t looking at the picture cause my friend pm’d me and had to check it then a scary sounds came in and everybody in this room was like ahhhhh!! and i jump away

  9. NoriMori says:

    “‘I pressed and while it was loading I opened another one, I was reading the thing and suddenly AAHH! I jump and say wtf?? then I realize its the scary optical illusions, I come here and watch that room which was the main source of my nightmares when I was a child. Well done, sir’

    SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME”

    SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!

    Except that the first time I heard the scream I thought it was coming from a game I was loading, because I was looking at another tab! And if you wait long enough it happens again, and so I’d been staring at the picture, trying to find what was wrong, and then I thought I’d look at the comments to see if there were any hints there, and just as the image was going out of sight while I was scrolling down, I saw a flash and heard the scream! I was spared seeing the actual image – what was it?

    • F.Y.I says:

      a big blue alien……thing pops out and screams

      im not quite sure actually because i watched this a couple of months ago and i dont want to see it again i guess thats the benefit of flash blocker so the picture wouldnt appear until i clicked on it

  10. vitaly says:

    oh shit that was so scary

  11. Mitch says:

    My initial reaction was to turn down the volume… My second was to right click the image to see if it was a swf…

  20. Beron says:

  21. rj says:

    nothing’s wrong lawl

  22. Random says:

    i turned this on nd then i went on some other page nd then the sound , fuck i nearly jumped out of my bed :d

  23. spliph says:

    Lol, thats not an illusion, thats a screamer… YouTube is full of em.

    TBH, i dont find em scary, rather startling. Obviously, anything startling gives you an adrenaline shot, but fear is much beyond adrenaline.
    All you kids should stop watching lame horror movies and try to find something you truly find terrifying. The key is terror. Frozen in terror means you dont move, you dont scream, you dont jump or anything, you are simply in a kind of terror trance – so scary you cant think.
    If you can tell yourself “damn, thats a scary mofo” then it isn’t that scary. You know fear when you realize you are still terrified of something you saw a while back and just cant get over it.
    People will say, thats not scaring someone, thats called traumatizing. Thats not true. Trauma is something one doesnt get over, ever, or very very slowly and over a long time.
    A shot of adrenaline is called a start. “Oh gosh, you startled me!” That used to be said so often before, now its all “damn you scared me!”. Someone you know cannot scare you just by jumping out from behind a corner. Thats a start! (sudden movement of surprise or alarm)
    Although mind you, something like this screamer could potentially traumatize a child, but everyone is so vulnerable as a child, its only normal. A grown person just jumps from this, and on the third time, beside being uselessly loud, the trick becomes kind of dull.

    My 2 cents, or 2 bucks, or make that 200 bucks :P

  24. Brianna says:

    OMGSH I’m Such a Chicken soo…. First of all im at the bottom of the page next…. my sound is off!! :S so i decided that first im gunnah get my brother to d oit Shh :P he’s 10

  25. Erinn says:

    I was like, “Ugh it’ll probably be one of those like, Stare at it, then some guy who looks like he was hit by a bus will pop up” *Scrolls to comments* “No help…” *Screams* I jumped up and was like WTF?!

  26. 'Itan Tanhì says:

    Not scary, just… surprising. Of course I had my sound off like I always do when it’s not in use.

  27. AcornMystic says:

    Wow … You suck ass lol. You almost made me send my laptop flying through my legs. Good thing I didn’t break the screen. >.> When I get into something I really get into it and I was really looking forward to an i-spy puzzle.

  28. thescronk says:

    i was looking and saying oooh… its the rail and then this scream and picture and not only that but i jumped so hard the chair shattered under me. brrrrrrr…..

  29. ME!!! says:

    Am I the only person here who didn’t get scared?
    =/ =) =P

  30. altason says:

    i was looking at the picture looking for something disturbing and then that scream *********
    i was startled xd i was not scared just starled
    but that is just because i dind’t expect it

  31. O.o says:

    i shat my pants… how could i fall for this original trick! >.<"!!!!

  32. >. says:

    lol i muted the sound before clicking the link.. then realized itš just a picture and was trying to find what was wrong with it =/

  33. Dirk says:

    That was what I was ep3cting. the fact that it was in a flash player gave it away. plus thats not an optical illusion.

  34. K says:

    I had this loaded and forgot about it. Then I downloaded an mp3, went to listen to it, and got this about 20 seconds into the song. Scared the crap out of me, and I thought the mp3 was busted.

  35. S says:

    I knew what was coming and it still scared me!

  36. Simon says:

    this isn’t an illusion

  37. angela says:

  38. omg says:

  40. Phillip says:

    You can use this as a minute timer.

  41. Tao Mokoda says:

    Lame. It wasn’t scary at all. It may have been STARTLING to some, but it wasn’t even that for me. It was just…lame.
    Try a dictionary and learn the difference between starling and scary.

  42. nick says:

  43. Stefan says:

  46. Ali Sweeney says:

    it would have botherd me if you never you never used the “scary” image as a thumbnail

  47. Noam says:

    Carl, I new something was going to pop, but I thought it was a .gif not a flash…

    The scream is the thing that scared me the most.

  48. DragonRaptor says:

    OMG, that was scary, man like wtf i was standing there and al of a sudden some blue face screams and i was just there screaming for 5 minutes. Next time remind me to turn off the volume.

  49. sam says:

  61. heather says:

    wat the hell!!! my sister showed me this and i cannot see the point.

  62. BlackLight says:

    it was lame to me……….i understood what was going to happen within seconds
    it reminds of a video i saw abt 4 or 5 yrs ago………..a car was moving on a road winding round a hill with lots of green trees………it was a fantastic sight until suddenly a screech followed a zombie which seemed to pop out at the screen towards u………….me and my frnds used to memorize the second when it will show but despite being ready all the time we all used to startle………
    the only one who never startled was my frnds 3 yrs old brother who sneaked in his room where the video was being played

  63. darrell says:

    this is stupid, you all act like (oh i wasn’t afraid when we all know you really pissed your pants and you try to act off tuff. If it wasn’t scary to you, then who cares i can live life without finding out if you where scared of a stupid video

  64. bananafuck says:

  68. mirza says:

  69. jasss says:

    almost had a heart attack. omg

  70. Ree says:

    There are alot of people who think this is pathetic, and fair enough. But if you’re like me and you have never seen anything like this before, and really aren’t expecting it, AND have your volume on 100%, then it’s gonna scare the hell out of you. My laptop almost fell off my lap.

  71. juan says:

    syet! i don’t know about you zombies out there but i just lost a testicle just watching it. some people just over-ANALyze and end up sounding dumb-numb-full-of-cum.

  72. Wolffe says:

    I should have known it was something like that.
    I also should have figured it out when it wouldn’t load on my i-Pod Touch. xD
    To me, definitely more startling than scary.
    And I’ve seen this stuff before too. o,o

    And people, please, shut up with the arguments. -,-
    You ruin the whole thing for everyone when you do that.

  73. alicia says:

    what is scary about it ?

  74. Hi :) says:

    There is a plant on the dresser which is next to a kitchen table and there is a dog/cat bed too close to the radiator. So this person clearly wants there cat/dog to set on fire while sleeping, eat, change their clothes, and water a tree all at the same time. I believe that is what is wrong with this…

  75. Luader says:

    WTF was that… good thing my volume is min …. that stupid thing you can spot* it first 1 min second 2 min 3rd… Im gonna chek other scary things :)) I didn’t even saw it clearly…

  76. Becky says:

    The image didn’t scare me, it was more how loud I had my speakers on that scared me.

  77. Anna says:

    Wow! I actualy just urinated… thanks.

  78. Brian says:

    obviously the thing wrong here is there are no drapes or blinds for the windows! ….. oh yeah and my ear drums blow every minute >_<

  79. holly says:
