25 Historical Photos That Will HAUNT You

[@HoV326]

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.

Absolutely well said 👏🏿

[@jasonnunya3875]

Destroying the resources of your opponent is one of the oldest and most commonly used strategies in war. What's interesting is that they built these mountains of skulls to be seen, and to be psychologically devastating to the enemy, letting no advantage go to waste.

[@alchobum]

Indigenous people in Canada, Australia, Brasil, Argentina and many others would stand with you on that historical assessment.

[@AceMoonshot]

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

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

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.

[@AceMoonshot]

I was about the same age as the girl. That photo really affected me. That photo, the 'Saigon Execution' and the Evacuation photos are the ones that first come to mind when I think of Vietnam war pics. But her, most of all. Just an FYI, the Napalm Girl is alive and doing well. Although she still suffers from the burns, the loss of family and the trauma. She is still friends with the photographer. The photographer was the one that got her to a hospital. He actually put down his camera and picked up the girl.

[@Aushra1969]

This is absolutely an image that is burned into my brain. The inhumanity of war is horrific.

[@joannewilson1162]

Yep. I’ve seen that photo and that photo is incredibly haunting. I kind of thought it might have been number one. Although number one was extremely chilling too.

[@julianaylor4351]

She survived, I read a magazine article of her grown up, showing her scars to a photographer who was with the reporter. She told in the article about her appalling experience and what happened to her family.

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.

[@cindyhoomalu1566]

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!

[@randalmayeux8880]

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.

[@competitionglen]

I agree.

[@AceMoonshot]

Napalm Girl. She is still alive and still friends with the photographer. She still suffers from the napalm burns. And might well have died had not the photographer put down his camera and picked her up instead. He put her in his car and took her to get medical treatment. I was about her age at the time and that photo hit me hard. I was Shook. Another famous Vietnam War photo is the Saigon Execution photo.

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.

That was horrible... the photographer took his own life shortly afterwards

[@andeeharry]

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.

[@kendramcgrath420]

Very nice well said I agree with you absolutely. It hurts to think how cruel and evil humans can be to everything on this beautiful planet everything 😢

[@bearnunnemaker5453]

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!!

[@krysti2]

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...🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🎉

[@joannewilson1162]

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.

[@rosebrown4799]

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

[@mandibailey9104]

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 KZbin channel, it will be List 25.

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.

[@Aushra1969]

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!

[@joannewilson1162]

I don’t get it either. My parents were children of the 60s and they were raised in white neighborhoods where people of color were looked down upon. I used to be much like them until I was about 12 or 13 and there was a gentleman walking down the street and my dad called him the N-word. Now he didn’t say it to his face, he just mumbled it. And I looked at him and asked him why he would call that man that. Because he and my mom used to say they weren’t racist because they only called people that were not very nice that and I told him that we don’t know that guy, so why do you call him that? I don’t think I change their minds, but from that point on, I said racism is dead to me. I don’t get it. Unfortunately, it is still alive and well. I see it all the time still. We have come far as a society, but we still have a lot further to go…😢

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.

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...

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.

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.
