25 Historical Photos That Will HAUNT You 

Any photos that came out of 9/11 still get me as does the moment the space shuttle Challenger exploded.

The bison photo is a lot more haunting than it sounds with the historical context to it. This is taking into account Native American history and Manifest Destiny. When the United States was gradually pushing Westward, one thing they learned about the tribes in those regions was that they heavily relied on bison as a food source as well as other resources like clothing and housing because of how plentiful they were and how big they were. And the US would use that for leverage. So, in order to assert influence over them and push the tribes into submissions, bison were getting hunted almost into extinction in order to essentially take away the Native Americans' biggest resource for their survival in that region and force them into making concessions, leading to tribes turning on each other, and becoming reliant on US might to survive under them. The history between Native Americans and the U.S. is not very pretty and downright depressing more times than not.

I hate that YT makes you blur pictures from 100 years ago.. but yet allows other nonsense... but still a great video❤❤❤

The picture that haunts me the most is the huge container that looks to be at least 4 feet by 6 feet,that contains all of the wedding rings removed by the Nazis from Jewish people during the Holocaust.There are also similar pictures,of the hair,the glasses,prosthetic limbs and dentures I think

The dreadful picture of the naked Vietnamese girl covered in napalm burns, running down the road while crying is one which is a picture I will never forget. Whereas it was good that you included photos which are important but rarely seen, I do think that one could have been exchanged for that one. Yet another incidence of the inhumanity of war.

Anyone else notice the guy with his mickey mouse mask upside down?

My mom took a photo of my dad doing the dishes. That was pretty historical.

The first people who would become known as Australian aborigines reach Australia either 60,000 or 40,000 years ago, depending on which source for the information. They did NOT get there *hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The most disturbing photos I've seen were in High School when we were learning about the Holocaust. Images of heavy equipment, earth movers pushing around enormous piles of starved bodies, and seeing sick Nazi's showing off albums, wallets and lampshades made from tattoos taken from prisoners, both live and dead will forever remain scarred into my memories.

Those death shadows are something aren't they. I know we are reminded constantly about WW2, not to repeat the mistakes again, but very little is said about Japan. ..and the worst part is, they made a movie about it for it's 80th birthday. I am not sure why this was ''celebrated'' in some way as it is NOT the finest hour. It is dark and grizzly. Those death shadows are a perminant reminder of how dark humanity can get in desperate situations. Even the military admits all this time, there wasn't any need to drop those bombs. Humans are the scariest monster that can exist at any time. How people can treat another like this and not shed anything is perfectly terrifying.

I'm noticing a lot of people are either confused or complaining about why we would blur the photos in this video. Plain and simple: we want to share the information with you, but dont want to be demonetized or taken down. Now that you know they exist you can look them up on own. 🍿 WATCH OUR OTHER VIDEOS: ►25 Biggest Mysteries Of History: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cqzdboRnzaQ.html ►25 Most Mysterious and Unexplained Disappearances in History: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-feAGOOo9yqw.html

Hi Mike! There was another photo from Vietnam that showed a naked young girl running towards the photographer after a bombing. To me this really shows the horrors of war inflicted upon the innocent.

The woman in the horrific sales meeting is sitting just in front of the fellow in the white jacket in front of the central window.

Damn it. Call me a wuss but you made me cry when you teared up!! Earlier when I was watching the news also. Thinking about all the Israeli and Palestinian children murdered. All the civilians deaths!!

I’m with you, Mike! I will never understand how skin color can make people react so strongly. I can’t say that I was raised this way, but I’m glad that as I ventured out on my own I learned to judge a person based on their actions and not their appearance. I am a white girl and I love that my son seems to gravitate toward darker skin tones. There is so much beauty in the diversity of all people!

I'm surprised you didn't include Kevin Carter's prize-winning photograph of a Sudanese girl who collapsed on her way to a feeding center while a buzzard watches her.

Thankyou Mike, it's easy to me to see that you are obviously not just trying to 'creep people out', but are using the List 25 format to show how cruel that humans have been to humans, even to this day- And to buffalo. I've also seen horrible pictures of stacks of dodos, who were so unafraid of humans that they just walked up to get clubbed to death, for no other reason than we are horrible. Much love for your great work, and great care for us...🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🎉

I'm sorry but blurring all these photos in a video specifically about photos makes no sense. Kind of ruined the video.

Why are people so cruel to each other? These broke my heart.

All these images were haunting. I’ve seen two that were not on the list. One is a very historical photo and it captured the horrors of the Vietnam war. It shows a young girl who is running from the remains of her village. She’s completely naked and the look of complete and utter terror and anguish on her face is something you never forget. That one actually one a Pulitzer prize I believe because it was such a haunting photo the other one that I have seen is of a young girl that was trapped when a volcano erupted they tried for days to get her out and the final photo before she ultimately passed away is just haunting. Her eyes are so sad and she knows she’s about ready to pass away. What makes that photo so heartbreaking is the fact that the people that ran the town were warned about the volcano and they could have saved this girl and the whole town, but they chose to ignore it until it was too late.

Thanks again for all your hard work!! You’re awesome!!

That Vietnamese monk was one of four or five who followed his example. Each made the newspapers and the evening news ----- I saw at least one of them while the TV in the kitchen was on one night at supper (I was 12). The news always had body counts and sometimes pictures throughout the Vietnam War.

I see Mike, I hit like. Well done List 25 team. I very much appreciate the respect given to those photographed. Hopefully, I'll be able to go back to commenting on every post to feed the algorithm. If I'm ever able to join or donate to a RU-vid channel, it will be List 25.

I'm sure this World would be better off without us Humans, don't you think?

The photo of Emitt Till' open casket is horrifying.

As disturbing and horrific as number 12 is, it show's me how far we have come as a society. It's a matter of perspective. And the number one reason to study our history. How can you know which way to go if you don't know where we have been. P.S. I love the channel.

I remember the monk’s photo when it was first published. I think I was seven.

Thank you for another awesome video. 😊❤😊

The destruction of bison in the North Americas, also impacted the people who relied on them, the Native American plains tribes. It was not only exploitation of a species, but a deliberate attack on a way of life.

I metal detect for a hobby and dig up old coins and things with dates on them. seeing things that happened on certain years is a trip .

Photo 19 by the porch looks like a creepy person peeping around the corner at the perfect time

Monks do the same things as Marines. They work themselves up to tolerate most things,including pain.

Thank you for the information!

Thank you for teaching me something new keep up the great work.😊

Well done Mike, a very difficult subject.😢

While visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp in 1984 in Dachau, Germany, we saw photographs of Nazi physician Dr Mengele's medical experiments on some of the internees. I have nightmares about them until today,. To say they were horrific would be a gross understatement.

2 more photos. Mi Lai of the little girls running. Kent state with a girl holding a victim.

The naked girl running from the bomb. I have never gotten that out of my brain.😢

I see the man near the shack I also noticed that two of the freedom fighters were not Vietnamese. Two of the girls were white with light hair.

Mike, like you, I get really emotional when speaking of racism. It’s so difficult to understand and I’ll never accept it. I’m so grateful that I was raised better than that. You mention the pain that humans inflict on each other. A couple years ago I watched a documentary about Hiroshima. I cried seeing the photos and hearing the interviews of survivors knowing that the country I live in did this to other humans. This is just another thing that I will never understand. Keep up the great work!

🎉❤list 25🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

There are 2 others that should've been here: Napalm Girl, and one where it appears that an American G.I. executes a suspected Viet Cong by shooting him in the head. Napalm Girl survived and the photo w9n the Pulitzer

I witnessed the death shadows first hand at the Peace park in Nagasaki. I cried like a baby, so ashamed a Country would do this to another.

I found the woman in the photo BTW! And it is pretty creepy. All those people wearing masks it looks like they’re out to kill Mickey Mouse. I think the most disturbing picture I ever saw was of the little Vietnamese girl running down the road naked. She as called “Napalm Girl.” Napalm was used during the Vietnam War and she tore her clothes off as napalm burned her back. I was probably 19 when the picture was taken. Out of all the things Forest Gump showed about the Vietnam War, I don’t remember the use of Napalm doesn’t seem to be one of them. When I learned what napalm was it gave me both the chills and the creeps. I never could understand war. Still don’t to this day. I should say I understand the spiritual reasons for it.

Howdy Mike. I don't know if Florida has Aldi, or if you shop there. I saw a squishmallow Hufflepuff badger there yesterday and thought of ya.

There is so much injustice in the world caught on camera for all to see... what sickens me more than the photos themselves ... is knowing that some people get sick pleasure from them... The things we are willing to do to other people is horrifying... I can't understand it at all... The things we have done to wildlife on this planet is equally horrible... and while I no vegan or anything and I do enjoy meat... there is no sense or reason to killing things in the way we do... for sport of it... decimating things simply for either some ridiculous and non-founded medicianal practice... or for "money" ... like the ivory trade... or rhino horns... or any number of other stupid reasons we destroy animals to the brink of extinction... I do not understand it... and I never will...

Hi Mike. Where is the best live music in your city?

Sup, good list

Ignorance breeds prejudice. But also fear of the unknown and misunderstandings. Those of us who don't look like the rest will experience prejudice. And fear that someone else can take away something from us or mistreat us according to who we trusted to teach us about the people and world around us. These may sound rather generic but it's because prejudice doesn't just deal in skin color, gender, religion, etc. Human beings are naturally judgemental as a survival tool but it is just a brief snapshot of your first impression. The saying "judge with compassion" translates, give it a second look and run it past your conscience.

The one thing that mankind has always been good at is is in humanity

3:50 second from Botton right hand side.

Only think I hate about this vid is I was watching it on my phone and thought I kept taking screenshops

Sorry You Tube makes you mask these pictures.

I know the omagh bombing my mums dad was a prison officer she grew up in the heart of the troubles Some of the details she was able to tell me were horrifying i even got to see where she grew up and she'd describe horrifying details

The pic of the vulture crouched right behind a starving child is definitely disturbing

Don't worry Mike, I don't get it either, it is just another skin color, why? why? do people treat them so different. My daughter is engaged to a beautiful young woman of color and they are so happy together. and That Is ALL that should ever matter.

Hi Mike, as you have previously pointed out, humans are mammals, and therefore, animals omin the video of which animals kill the most other animals.

The woman in the sales meeting is seated second from top right.

I get why you blurred the photos, however many other channels do show them. It's hard to be haunted by blurred images. I'll catch you in the next video, which I'm sure will be much better.

MIKE!!

3:31 Woman in the Mickey Meeting If you still want to find her on your own, here's hints to get you there. Scroll slowly: . . top . . . . . right. . . . . center window with 2 men in white . . . . . . . . guy in white on left . . . . . ok, here she is: . . . . . below & to his left

I spotted the woman! Upper lefthand corner, sitting at the table.

The girl covered in napalm burns running naked down the road.

I found the mick-lady! In the top right

Woman at sales meeting... Top of the photo, sitting slight right in front of man in black suit, flanked black two in waiters/bussers in white. Only dress/glitter in the room.

Photos from the Holocaust make many of these look peaceful.

#12. I dont get it and never will either

I feel the same re no 12 mike. Racism, in fact, discrimination of any kind, is so abhorrent. We are all human, we all bleed the same colour, so why are people so ready to mistreat others based upon some arbitrary difference like how many melanocytes someone has in their skin

The hanging elephant.

❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊😊😊😊❤😊😊😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊😊😊😊

I want a pork pie hat too!

I didn't spot the woman but I did spit the one with their mask on upside down.

#19 Freedom Fighters has me so confused. 1st, there was a winning side? Just saying... There's a couple of blonds, they all look light-skinned... Is it the person to the right of the structure we're supposed to be seeing? Any answers/theories welcome, but especially a source to the pic & info.

Photo 22 back right sitting down wearing a floral pattern dress

I'll never get it either

I don't like rats and mice....the most disturbing picture I saw was the space shuttle disaster and 9/11

The past was the worst. I don’t get it either,Mikey. (Baby brother’s name is Mike) so Godspeed,brother from another mother.

Is the one on left adjusting the mask the woman?

Saw the woman

The #22 pic, the guy(?) on the far right side is wearing the mask upside down.

I see the head by the roof

I really don't understand why this Disney one is disturbing at all... it's just MM masks with the little elastic string around the back. this was a bunch of bankers dawning the face of the mascot of the bread company they were funding, a wholesome family company mind you... why does this one get to people?

The lady in the Mickey Mouse photo is sitting down in the upper right photo by the two waiters and white shirts

It was difficult time. I’m like you I just it

All Australian's have equal opportunity, indigenous people here have all the rights non indigenous people have.... I'm indigenous I'm a nunga. It use to be we didn't have rights. But that was so long ago...

Hunters killed off the Bison. Distorted on two levels. One is the 'hunters' were not sporting hunting or even subsistence hunters. They were commercial market hunters. That is a rather popular distortion supporting the concept of banning hunting - sport hunting - altogether. Two is the bison could have reproduced to replenish the bison population. However it was the railroads and settlers-farmers who prevented the bison from migrating with the seasons and prevented reproduction. The Mickey Mouse sales meeting. It doesn't look creepy, it looks silly. No, I cannot spot the woman. Death Shadows, criticism of the atomic bomb. This feature ignores the rather dastardly attack with the declaration of war by Japan, the refusal to surrender by Japan after being soundly defeated in all other theaters and the alternative of losing numerous soldiers to end the Japanese continuing hostility. I presume the intentional omission of the other half of various stories will not be mentioned as horrors committed by mankind. Turkish bride. Whoever put this video together knows little of history or chooses to ignore it. Young women - girls - have been married (usually without the girls input) since prior to recorded history. The age of marriage was typically at puberty. The Turks of that era followed that custom. The feature here objects to a foreign culture. Obviously, this seeks to destroy all cultures not fully in agreement with the U. S. Curious to me. So tell me, is this attitude stupidity, ignorance or evil intent? Interesting. The overseer who whipped the slave was discharged. Another word for fired. So who was responsible for the action? Acid in the pool. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 followed. Passed in Congress by Republicans over the objections of Democrats. One must assume the acid thrower was a Democrat supporter. Obviously, he had never been taught better, despite wearing a tie. Burning monk. Yeah, I was around for that one as well. The TV news did not - to my older memory - mention the persecution of Buddhists and Buddhism. Greatest horror in my life. The current President being 'elected'. Not to mention seeing him speak in public. Frightful.

No 12 is the worst. Small minded people is a shame people hasn't learned anything from history

I’m telling ya 25 facts about The Simpsons you probably didn’t know. 🤪🤪

Those were either ferrets or minks. Not rats. 🤪🤪

I don't get it either Mike. 😢.. it's just a different skin color. I teared up on this one..

As the Eisangruppen death squads routed conquered Ukraine, they took photos of their work. They would have the condemned Jews dig ditches and the execute them into the freshly dug graves. There ia photo of the SS standing over a very scared bearded man before he is shot entitled ‘The Last Jew of Vinnitsa’ To me that symbolizes the Holocaust in a nutshell’

But i wouldn't want the rats to be killed I wonder if that's needed

Theres nothing sxary about lavey or his brand of satanism. Its more atheist and humanist than actual devil worship

A couple of lady resistance fighters look like Caucasian blondes. There appears to be a soldier behind the porch. All the women are barefoot and that doesn't seem normal.

When did Mike get the channel back? I remember he lost it at one point and it was someone else using it so I unsubscribed.

Photo #12, the answer is simple Mike, people are stupid.

Me neither. I do not get it.

My heart hurts along with yours and everyone else I know Mike

MY MOM!!!

"Apart from the images we listed at number one and five on today's list, you will not find a more unforgettable photo anywhere in the world." Can someone please make sense of this statement? I get it is probably A.I. - written, but it still obviously has to go through human channels...
