Plenty of the latter can be found on the ‘Cursed Images 101’ Instagram account.

Brimming with cat videos, memes, recipes, and… whatever you can think of, basically, social media platforms have flourished quite rapidly with the rise of the internet; especially over the last decade or so, with Facebook reportedly being the flagship. One of the sources of the latter, the ‘Cursed Images 101’ account, has already amassed nearly 34 thousand followers with its somewhat bizarre and often quite frightening content. In a TED-Ed video lesson, the sociologist, author, and educator Margee Kerr explained that under certain circumstances, being scared can actually be fun; that’s why in October of 2015 alone, roughly 28 million people visited a haunted house in the US. “Feeling pain-free and energized, while not getting caught up in worries and thoughts that normally occupy our brains, that all sounds great,” Kerr’s lesson continued, pointing out that this type of response is similar, though not exactly the same, to what we experience in positive high-arousal states, like excitement or happiness. That’s also likely to be the reason why some people enjoy viewing pictures of spiders and similar creatures, while others stay away from browsing cursed images of any sorts.
