Human history is full of beauty, advancements, and progress. But there has always been a dark side to humanity.
Humans have the awful ability to hurt others. Violence, fear, and power have caused some of the worst wars, crimes, and pain.
Photographs taken through the decades have documented some of the cruelest acts and intense moments. Natural disasters, ghostly hauntings, and freak accidents have also been captured on camera.
These photographs can be extremely hard to look at. But they should serve as a reminder to us to be kinder to others, lend a helping hand when we can, and work to protect, rather than harm each other.
