- Social media as a whole is used to communicate ideas. Hopefully most of the time
these ideas are positive. But we all know the
negatives of social media. Don't we? The feeling of insecurity
and in some cases the spreading of incorrect
and dangers information. There's also another darker
side to social media. And on Instagram, in particular, there are many who relish in it. Today I'm going to reveal to
you some Instagram accounts that are going to
completely freak you out. But I warn you, visit these
pages at your own risk. (screeching whoosh) Here are 10 Instagram accounts that will give you nightmares. (monster screeching) Number 10 is hirade. (static buzzing) Some of the Instagram users on this list have one thing in common, an interest in the abandoned places that humanity has left behind. There is a loneliness to these locations but in some cases, there's
also a sinister atmosphere. In the case of Instagram user hirade, his fascination with
decaying places has led him to capture a serious of haunting images. In Japan, this pursuit is known
as (speaks foreign language) which is associated
with an obscure art form capturing the decaying ruins
where people once thrived. While there's undoubtedly
a beauty to hirade's work which has been explored in several books. These abandoned hospitals,
amusement parks and homes tell us something about the
world we as human beings construct around us. That it is a temporary
one and that if we let it, nature will reclaim it all in the end. (screeching whoosh) Number nine is Giggles the Clown. (static buzzing) (mysterious music) From Steven King's "It"
to American Horror Story, it's clear that clowns unnerve us. Instagram is also an
uncomfortable reminder of this. If you peruse the internet looking for scary Instagram accounts, you'll often find post after post about clown images. These accounts feature people dressed as frightening clown characters. But one of the most striking
is Giggle the Clown. Giggles sports the
unusual white face paint and red nose of a clown. But with a large inhuman
grin across her face, the teeth showing, ready to bite. Some of these images are humorous, while others are unsettling. Giggles is often in brightly lit spaces where families often play. Information on her profile simply says "Hi, I'm Giggles. "I was born a clown. "Come play with me." Whether you accept this invitation or not is completely up to you. (screeching whoosh) Number eight is I Know
Exactly Who You Are. (mysterious music) Modern horror fiction often explores our dark relationship with technology. In some cases the
technology provides a way to record the supernatural like
in "The Blair Witch Project" while in films like "The Ring" technology's used by malevolent forces in order to prey on the innocent. Unfortunately, Instagram
is the most recent type of technology to be used in this way. However when it comes
to the Instagram user, I know exactly who you
are, you're left wondering if you're a character in
a horror story yourself. By DM-ing this anonymous Instagram user, you will soon receive
creepy private messages with details about who you are and even information
about your private life and in some cases, those who do this quickly regret clicking send. Because their replies given dig deep into their personal world in
ways that they never expected. (screeching whoosh) Number seven is Happy Weird Day. (static sizzling) Some use Instagram as a
way to curate information. This could be images of collectible cars, interesting tourist spots
and even each hobbies. However Instagram user, happy.weird.day, curates content of a more sinister kind. Each of the photographs
posted to this account is enough to give you sleepless nights. They include historical
black and white images with creepy back stories. Many of the images are of
people dressed in strange and unnerving costumes. Others are not for the faint of heart and include quite harrowing
images of real life moments. All of these explore the
darker side of humanity, whether it's our own
brutality to each other or our compulsion to point and stare at those different from us. Either way, happy.weird.day's collections provoke both fear and
introspection in equal measure. Number six is seriously strange. (static buzzing) (mysterious music) Those of you who have
following my YouTube career will know that I'm passionate
about sharing facts and interesting stories. And many of these facts are
from the creepier side of life and not for those scared of the dark. On Instagram, the user seriously_strange explores some of these similar themes and shares short creepy paragraphs with an accompanying image. Each image and its back story are designed to provoke a response,
usually an uncomfortable one. Sometimes they're sinister facts, sometimes they're interesting observations about a terrifying moment in history. But they're always frightening. Examples of images posted
include cryptid monsters, haunted locations, creepy
historical photographs and even recent moments which will not be able to remove from your brain. (screeching whoosh) Number five is tonydetroit. (static buzzing) (mysterious music) I've actually featured
some of tonydetroit's work in a previous video on haunted places. As he had visited several
as part of his art. However, Tony's real passion
comes from documenting the decay of urban Detroit. His work shares much
in common with hirade. But by focusing on one city, he's able to bring attention to the reason why such places were abandoned. tonydetroit's images capture the exteriors and interiors of collapsed homes and other buildings which
were once filled with people and now have been left to
rot from the inside out. Many of these locations
have chilling back stories as witnesses have
encountered strange shadows while exploring them. Are these the shadows of
those who walked the halls and rooms of these buildings. No one can e certain but knowing this, while perusing tonydetroits photos is enough to send a shiver up the spine. (screeching whoosh) Number four is Satan. (static buzzing) As we know, Instagram is a visual medium. It uses images to hook our interest and sometimes even move us. Some people, however, use text
images to do the same thing. In one instance, one Instagram
user claims to be doing this on behalf of Satan himself. S8n or Satan posts
observations supposedly made by the original dark lord. Many of these are aimed at being funny and involve a twisted sense of humor. But there's something
underneath these comments which is unnerving they contain a bleak
sentiment about the world. At first, they make us think
about our own existence as being worthless and even
evil in some instances. Some may find these jokes
at a minimum, distasteful. Although this account
is fun in small doses, reading these messages on a daily basis, may infest your mind with some bleakness. Perhaps, that's the point. (screeching whoosh) Number three is Miss Angemi. (static buzzing) Instagram user mrs_angemi
also known as Nicole Angemi posts regularly to the site. Her profile is followed by
nearly two million people and all of them are subjected to some of the most disturbing
images of all of Instagram. Nicole is a pathologist assistant and posts images from her
work and from around the web showing, well, I think you can imagine what a pathologist is photographing. Alongside these images,
she also posts things removed from people's bodies and other strange medical anomalies, for some, these images are
fascinating educational tools but for others, they are
grim sensationalist images which demean the dead. However you interpret them,
one thing is for sure. These images will disturb
and shock you forever once you've seen them. (screeching whoosh) Number two is mothmeister. (static buzzing) (screeching whoosh) One of the most controversial
Instagram accounts is also one of the most eerie. Instagram user mothmeister posts images which some people find harrowing and too close to the bone, literally. If you're brave enough, you will find a series of images which
mothmeister has put together. These photos all share a
fictional universe of sorts. It's called Wounderland
and features people dressed as strange clowns and
other macabre characters. However this is not what
makes this Instagram account so controversial in and of itself. Instead, it's the stuffed
animals which accompany each character which leaves
some people offended. The animals were once alive
and have been preserved with chilling detail by mothmeister to accompany twisted people
who populate Wounderland. (screeching whoosh) And number one is missingpeople. (static buzzing) (mysterious music) Technology can do more
than just entertain us. It can move us so deeply that we feel compelled to do good. But even when this is true, the images which move us can
also cause a creeping unease. The Instagram account for
charity missing people does great work spreading information about people who go missing. The account documents this work. But among these images
are several which burrow into the conscious minds
of those who view them. These are painting of people
who have never been found. The way they have been
crafted makes them feel even more distant from us, lost somewhere out there in the world. The missingpeople Instagram account is one which has to unnerve us. It's simply impossible
to forget these people and the images remind us to keep our loved ones close
by galaxies should they
and black holes or us
from other big bangs join the ranks of the missing
ripping through our own But as always,
