Heartwarming! This old-fashioned Spanish man still creates misinformation the traditional way, using photoshop to scare people for fun.
He'll also make you a lovely illustration, book cover, social media campaign...

Disgusted! Reached to the back of the shelf to get icing sugar at my local store and got bitten by a beastly rodent! I’ll be reporting this to the health inspectors at once!
In 1932, several sheep were found dead and exsanguinated in Arizona. Their blood was drained through three unexplained punctures.
A photograph of the predator was taken by a park ranger. Officially explained as a mangy dog, some yet claim it is an image of the Chupacabras.

After a bit of detective work, I've identified the author of this image! This was created in 2010 by Polish photographer Sonia Firlej.
You can find her more recent work here:
www.instagram.com/sonia.firlej/
And follow the thread to see how I found her!
Sadly her DA being inactive since 2016, but it links to her instagram, which appears to be her main social media these days:
www.instagram.com/sonia.firlej/
And the good news is her photography is still fantastic (go give it a look!)
But we're still missing one piece of evidence!
How do we confirm the deleted DA post is the image we're looking for? By searching the title (Do opanowania szalenstwa by Narva), I find a 2011 tumblr repost that directly credits her! catblack.tumblr.com/post/2909201...
So we found it! Go give the author of this classic creepy image some love! <3

This leads me to the deviantart profile, which still exists: www.deviantart.com/narva/
This appears to be a Polish photographer called Sonia Firlej, mostly working in black and white. The style definitely matches our image, but this specific one appears to be deleted from her archive.
Same for her website, which appeared in old versions of her devianart profile. It doesn't exist anymore and the internet archive snapshots haven't saved this specific image: web.archive.org/web/20180419...

The SCP is from 2012, and since most reverse search results are related to the SCP and its later use as an uncredited "creepy online image", we need to limit our search to results before 2012.
After some digging using TinEye, I found this deleted DeviantArt post: narva.deviantart.com/art/Do-opano...
Thankfully, there is a saved snapshot of the post on the internet archive, but unfortunately the image itself was not archived:
web.archive.org/web/20150910...
But here we find our first piece of evidence. A comment directly links this post to SCP-1875:

First, this image gained online notoriety through its use in SCP-1875 (scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1875). That said, as of today the article has a different (though similar) image. This implies the photo was used without permission, and it's possible the author contacted the SCP writer to remove it.
The Pesadiellu is one of many frightening beings said to cause nightmares. This creature is said to press down on its victims chest, suffocating them in their sleep.
"Architectural neoplasm" is a phenomenon where buildings, without apparent cause, start spreading outwards uncontrollably. If the growth is not quickly excised, it destroys the surrounding environment.
While initially rare, this is starting to happen frequently to data center construction projects.

While this is just a horror concept, data centers ARE currently spreading unchecked. In my area, there is a project to build a 120MW data center that'll decimate the local environment, increase energy costs, create noise… And all so people can rot their brain with chatbots.
So I'm organizing to stop it! I was part of the creation of a citizen platform that'll give them hell until they give up!
If they're also building one in your area, it's time to organize! Citizen initiatives have already stopped many data center projects all around the world. Go out there!

"A sign recovered from a Kurdizov testing facility. What kind of experiments could necessitate signage like this?"
No AI has been used in the making of this project. American Abyss is 100% human made.
“-the creatures known as “overpassers”, due to their preferred feeding ground, are actually an unknown form of gigantic flatworm - They can grow to immense size depending on the structure they decide to use as a home, and are mostly known as a dangerous and disgusting nuisance.
This cetacean carcass was found during a seafloor expedition near Puerto Rico. Some have called it a "mermaid" owing to its strikingly humanoid features, but biologists claim its heavily decomposed state cannot offer a positive identification.
