19 Seemingly Ordinary Photos That Gave Us Egg-Sized Goosebumps

We get goosebumps on our bodies thanks to the pilomotor reflex: it’s when the tiny muscles of the hair follicles contract and the skin becomes bumpy. It happens when we are emotionally excited. The reasons may vary from actual danger to even what looks like danger.

We at CHEERY have found 19 photos that don’t seem all that special, but if you use your imagination, you will definitely get goosebumps.
