In this Google satellite image we see a huge triangle in the middle of a desert in Wittman, Arizona. The triangle forms a spooky-looking road with no way out.
-
Considering it’s in the middle of nowhere it’s tempting to think something otherworldly is going on, but it’s actually just an auxiliary air field once used by WWII pilots for landing practice.

Or at least that’s just what they want us to think …

This corrupt Google Street View image shows a haunting depiction of New Baltimore, in New York. It looks a bit like a scary impressionistic painting, or maybe a portal to Hell. Apparently, the glitches are town-wide, making the whole thing eerily reminiscent of the Silent Hill games. Half of the place appears normal, while distortion has spread across other parts of town.

This is another that’s been warped into something quite twisted by a Google Street View glitch. I’m sure you don’t need this pointed out but the woman has strange, unnatural, Velociraptor-like legs. I like to think she also communicates with dinosaur noises.

This is definitely one of Google’s cooler glitches, and looks sorta like a trick mirror at a carnival.

This photo was taken near Tokyo’s Mitaka Station in March 2013. I think you can see what’s gone wrong here: the pigeons have grown human torsos! But no, seriously, what’s creepy about this photo is none of it was staged for Google; this is just eight grown adults hanging out in the street, wearing pigeon heads.

In this Google Earth image we can see a big banana – I mean a giant sausage! – I mean a ginormous wang! Okay, so the image is actually just of this strangely phallic building in downtown Dixon, Illinois. Come on, guys. Show a little maturity.

In this 2012 photo, it appeared that Google Street View had captured a gruesome homicide. In fact, the image actually made it to the news when Wilmington police asked citizens to assist with solving the mystery of who exactly was in the cab of this truck. Were they alive?
-
As it turns out, the driver was in the lifeguard and that girl in back was actually just his practice dummy. I know: that’s the oldest homicide excuse in the book, but, this time, I’m inclined to believe him.

This eerie photo of a devastating plane crash was captured at a Navy Base in Alameda Point, California. Ordinarily, Google Street View blurs out the faces of people in their photos, but this horrific scene was curiously left for everyone to see.
It turns out that, while this was a real plane and real debris, it wasn’t an actual plane crash site. The image was from the 2009 set of NBC’s show Trauma. So don’t despair; it’s all just make-believe! Like the moon landing!

This mysterious image shows the broken face of a statue on some desolate hillside. It’s unknown how it got there, or what its story is, but one thing’s for certain: it’s creepy as shit!

Innocuous photo of seagulls on a chip run, or a scene from Hitchcock’s The Birds? This mass of seagulls will blot out the sky and cause chaos and destruction wherever they go. Hear that distant squawking? They’re coming for you …

Another image, another would-be homicide. This 2008 photo, taken in Wochester, England, shows what appears to be the aftermath of a brutal murder. It seems like a nice enough neighbourhood, so how could this happen?
You guessed it: it didn’t. The disturbing photo is actually of a ten-year-old girl named Azura Beebeejaun, who thought it would be cool to play dead in the street. I’m sure she’ll grow up to be perfectly well-adjusted.
