    We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the creepiest thing they own. Here are the weird-as-hell results.

    1. This damn freaky creature:

    Via instagram.com

    "This is a Jenglot. It's a humanoid creature in Indonesian myth. We feed it by placing blood next to it, and it'll consume it somehow. The hair and fangs grow more the older they get."

    2. This insanely unique piece of jewelry:

    Morgan's Mutations / Morgan Loebel

    "I’m such a fan of this artist's work, I had to own a piece. It's so much more gross in person. I love it, and one day I’m going to wear it out of the house!"

    —cherriewarzocha

    3. This painting that's probably, definitely haunted:

    BuzzFeed

    "My husband found this by the side of the road in the middle of freaking NOWHERE. Now it lives in my hallway, because I’m too damn terrified to see what'd happen if we threw it away."

    4. This collection of animal parts:

    BuzzFeed

    "I buy animal skulls and skeletons. Most people are put off by them, but I think they’re awesome!"

    5. These weird-lookin' apple dolls:

    BuzzFeed

    "These beauties were my grandparents'. The faces are made out of rotten, desiccated apples. Growing up, my cousins and I created ghost stories about where they came from. When my grandma died, I was the lucky one to inherit the dolls."

    6. This demonic piece of decor:

    BuzzFeed

    "I bought this wooden mask for my husband. According to the guy I bought it from, he found it propped up against a church in Mexico in the '60s. We hung it up in the office, and I swear we heard whispers in that room."

    —mandaminor

    7. This pretty artsy dead quail:

    BuzzFeed

    "My diaphonized quail is my favorite thing in my creepy collection. Diaphonization is when someone takes a specimen, removes the skin, and dyes the bones and cartilage. I cherish this little guy."

    14. This My Chemical Romance-approved accessory:
