11 Tots Who Look So Creepy on Their Baby Monitors, You'll Swear They're Possessed (PHOTOS)

If you've ever peered into a baby monitor at your sleeping -- or not sleeping -- child, you know how creepy that night vision nursery can seem (at any moment, you half expect a reality TV ghost hunter to show up on the screen). That's why posts marked #creepy #babymonitor are currently haunting Instagram, just in time for Halloween: It's like a social media horror movie!

And it truly is horrifying how distorted those cameras make our little darlings look, particularly when their eyes are open!!! I mean, sheesh, a baby who refuses to sleep is already scary. No matter, though -- after you scroll through these paranormal pics, you'll be up all night anyway.

1. Does this one remind anybody else of a toddler version of The Ring?? "Hey Mom, no need to check on me! I'll just hover here with my hair in my face and then drag you off to Hell!"
