Halloween is almost here, but the following photos go beyond the bounds of a pagan holiday. The ghosts, monsters, and extraterrestrials will haunt your dreams. Obviously, some of these trail camera photos were staged or altered \u2014 but they\u2019re still raise the hair on the back of your neck. Other photos in this series have odd and unsettling stories behind them (like the hungry witches photo).<\/p>\n

Regardless, here are 18 spooky trail camera photos you must see. But if you\u2019re the skittish type, maybe don\u2019t look. Because you might psych yourself out during those early hikes into your stand through the dark woods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Birds<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

If\u00a0 you\u2019ve ever seen Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s film The Birds<\/em>, you get why this trail camera shot is spooky. And if you were the hunter responsible for that feeder the sight of all these corn-gobbling crows would be downright frightening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flying Demon<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

This thing looks like it must be a demon with wings. After all, it\u2019s after dark, and what big bird flies around after dark? Gregory Henderson\u2019s trail camera photo shows at least one demon bird does. (Jokes aside, it\u2019s probably a heron flapping straight away).<\/p>\n

The Headless Doe<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

Three does walk into the frame. Two have heads. One does not? At least, so it seems. Of course, it\u2019s just motion blur, and the camera doesn\u2019t fully display the head of the animal. But a headless whitetail is a far more interesting proposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alien Orb<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

This alien with the glowing body and orb-shaped head is definitely on the weird list. It certainly has that make-your-skin-crawl look to it. But in reality, it\u2019s probably just a bit of lens flare or something on the lens causing it to appear far larger than it is.<\/p>\n

A Whatcha-Ma-Call-It<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

I don\u2019t have a name for this one. Or a proposed name. So, we\u2019ll stick with a whatcha-ma-call-it. My guess is this is a small black bear, and blurring distorted the photo. That said, it doesn\u2019t make the photo any less spooky. Lon Servello better look over his shoulder when walking to the treestand.<\/p>\n

Alien vs. Deer<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

This looks sketchy as all get out. If I\u2019m being honest, it looks like the aliens from The Invasion<\/a> landed in front of Todd Taft\u2019s trail camera. Sure looks to me like that whitetail along the edge of the frame is about to be alien poop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eaten Alive<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

Coyotes and wolves are brutal predators. Unlike bears and big cats, which kill their prey and then consume it, canines oftentimes tire their prey, bring it down, and start feasting on and around the hind quarters while the animal is still alive. What a terrible way to go.<\/p>\n

Grandma Strolls<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

Either little Billy asked Grammy to go put batteries in his trail camera, or Grandma went for an evening stroll. I\u2019m not sure if she remembered her teeth, but she did forget her wig. My guess is she didn\u2019t expect to have her photo taken. I\u2019m just glad she could still move those hips fast enough to swivel away from the camera.<\/p>\n

Demon Walk<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

Yep, demons are real, and this trail camera photo proves it. You can even see a couple of horns coming off the side of its head. Sure, it\u2019s just a negative photo filter, you say. But who really wants to take chances? Weird stuff happens in the woods.<\/p>\n

Ghoul<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

If this creature isn\u2019t a ghoul, or maybe one of those flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz, I don\u2019t know what it is. This deer can\u2019t even grab a bite at the local deer feeder without getting gored. Seems Dorothy didn\u2019t shut the portal door fast enough when she went back home to Kansas. Dang you, Dorothy.<\/p>\n

Night Creature<\/h2>\n
\"spooky<\/figure>\n

Nope. Nope. Nope. I don\u2019t know what it is. And I don\u2019t care. It has no place on earth. I say we form a militia and hunt this creature down, no license or tags needed. Those who are with me, we ride at dawn, but definitely not before dawn.<\/p>\n

Dino<\/h2>\n
\"trail<\/figure>\n

This is less spooky and more funny. What a great prank to pull on your deer hunting buddy. Good job Captain Jurassic Park, you got us!<\/p>\n

Bad Kitty<\/h2>\n
\"trail<\/figure>\n

Years ago there was a research study<\/a> that determined cats are psychopaths (or something like that). I seem to recall another\u00a0study where researchers determined even domestic cats would kill their owners, if they were big enough to do so. I\u2019m not a zoologist, or a psychologist, but, I say it\u2019s true. And this photo of a wild mountain lion doesn\u2019t change my mind at all. This is what pure terror, and psychopathy, look like.<\/p>\n

Ghost Mirroring?<\/h2>\n
\"trail<\/figure>\n

Mirroring is a thing. Study behavioral sciences and that\u2019s clear. But a ghost lip-curling because a buck did? That\u2019s weird. And creepy. And maybe a few other things. I mean, he\u2019s just criss-cross-apple-saucin\u2019 in mid-air and giving it his best lip curl. That\u2019s some whacky stuff, right there.<\/p>\n

Creepy Critters<\/h2>\n
\"trail<\/figure>\n

I don\u2019t know what these things are, but this photo was from back in 2007, so they\u2019ve probably multiplied by now. But with some brumby stallions (circa Man from Snowy River), Henry lever-actions, and a pack of plot hounds with some fight in \u2018em, we just might win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ghost Girl<\/h2>\n
\"trail<\/figure>\n

Ok. This is clearly the ghost of a young person. With all due respect, please go home. It\u2019s already hard enough to wake up for a morning deer hunt. Now this image is floating around in the mind of the poor sap who planned to hunt this deer feeder. (My guess is that big 8-pointer survived the season.)<\/p>\n

Witches Be Hungry<\/h2>\n
\"creepy<\/figure>\n

This photo submitted by Corinea Stanhope definitely grabs your attention. Here\u2019s some background from the original Outdoor Life<\/em> story<\/a>: \u201cWhen Corinea Stanhope and her grandfather Bob set up a trail camera near a deer carcass two minutes from Stanhope\u2019s home in Powell River, British Columbia, they hoped to see some interesting wildlife feeding on it. First came a bobcat. Then, to their surprise, came two half-naked figures with matted black hair that looked a lot like witches. The trail camera photos show the two standing over the deer carcass, picking at the flesh, and even raising a hoof to one of their mouths.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lightning Strike<\/h2>\n
\"trail<\/figure>\n

If you ever want to see the immense power of Mother Nature, just watch a summer storm roll in. That\u2019s what it appears this buck is doing, which made for one incredible, and spooky, trail camera photo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
