I hadn't seen smile.jpg before, but after googling, you are right, it is truly a haunting image. I wonder what makes it so creepy? what subconscious fear instinct makes that image so much more haunting than a normal picture of a dog?


If you hadn't already seen it, check out Vsauce's "Why Are Things Creepy" on youtube.

Be advised that the thumbnail of the video is creepy though.
