Scary Crawl Space!
Crawl spaces DON'T have to look like this! Nor should they with modern encapsulation techniques. Creatures can get into your crawl space and unchecked moisture can lead to mold. Both of these occurrences can lead to a compromised foundation.
Water Stains
That water stain is ugly but you might not think much of it since it's not hurting anything and it's not a puddle. However, that stain is a sign that water once entered your basement, and if it got in once, it can get in again. These kinds of problems don't normally go away on their own, and they get worse.
Water and Dampness
Puddles on your basement floor are NOT normal or harmless. If you see this occurring in your basement, do something about it before it becomes an even bigger problem. It's important to know why the water is coming in and where it is coming from.
