14+ Creepy Things People Needed The Internet's Help To Identify

It was seen above Lynchburg, TN. Most likely, it's just a drone with fancy lights on it.

We've kind of reached an era where every "UFO" has a 99.9999% change of being a drone.

That's 3.28 in feet and super weird.

It's a spotted ratfish which sounds as unappetizing as it's reported to be. The flavor is described as "bland with an unpleasant aftertaste." Yuck.

I hope whoever gave them to the thrift store made sure they were properly sanitized, because those tools are for "trephination," which is a fancy word for drilling into or removing part of a person's skull.

I know that it's just an extremely rotten rubber gasket and not some gross growth, but it definitely looks disgusting.

So when these weird jelly sacks were found by new homeowners, Reddit was the right place to go for answers. Most likely, they're bunches of salamander eggs.

But unless you're a recyclable plastic, you're probably safe. Trommels are used to break down and sort rocks when mining or waste at garbage and recycling centers.

The spikes tear open plastic bags to that the contents can be sorted.

It's parts from the body of an old VW Beetle. Most likely it's from around the 1960s, based on the shape of the parts and the style of the door handles.

Most of the time, you're safe as long as you don't try to eat it. Really, I probably wouldn't touch it, either, but that's because I'm a wimp.

This is cladonia deformis, a form of lichen.

Not a drone, either. Black smoke rings like this are often caused by diesel engines when they start up. It could also be from a transformer explosion.

They're described as smelling earthy and are moist to the touch. Ew.

Most likely, they're rotten chestnuts, inexplicably left in this basement for years.

In this case, it's just the wax ring being squeezed out due to the toilet settling. So not health risks, but the owner might want to watch out for future leaks.

It was kind of incredible how quickly someone was able to answer. It's not a wishbone, but rather an anatomical model of a clitoris. Now I'm wondering where they found it lying around.

There's no real way to verify the track's origins, but the best theory is that they were made by a cardboard box being blown across the snow by the wind.

It's a form of rat-tail maggot, the larvae of many hoverfly species.

Hoverflies are often mistaken for bumblebees, which is actually the point. They've evolved to mimic that look to deter predators who may be afraid of a bee's stinger.

This isn't a weird snake thing, but rather the shed tail of a California Alligator Lizard. So still king of gross, but otherwise harmless.

They're called "trickle vents" and were meant to allow some fresh air inside without opening the entire window.

Good news: not an alien invasion. Bad news: you've got a moth problem.

Casemaking Moths eat things like cloths and books, using that material to make their larvae sacks. You'll need to do a thorough cleaning...or get a cat.

This is probably a good example of why a plastic McDonald's cup isn't the best way to store things in the freezer. Most likely, the growth is due to contamination of some sort.

Whatever you do, don't drink it.

It's just a banksia seed pod, though. It's meant to be used as a natural essential oils diffuser, which is neat, but it still looks really weird.

It makes sense when you learn that it was seen in the Dominican Republic in February, though. It's decoration for the El Carnaval de la Vega which is held every February to celebrate Dominican independence.

There's a general rule where the brighter or more colorful a sea creature is, the more dangerous it is to touch.

In the case of this Blue Dragon Sea Slug it can give you a pretty painful sting.

But imagine if you weren't familiar with them and then came across the weird symbols in an already sketchy mountain Airbnb? Yeah, I'd probably nope out too.

Complete with graveyard dirt and pics of the people its meant to affect. On a more positive note, the white pins symbolize things like good health and protection from rumors, so this is a nice voodoo doll.
