I have grown to enjoy looking up creepy photos and whatnot, so I thought we could share some stuff and stories and pictures and whatnot here. If there's a picture that isn't otherwise creepy, but the context is, please share that as well  This is one of those "when you see it" creepers, and it totally got me when I leaned forward and finally saw it.  |

More pictures with creepy back stories:  The red car beside them was a car bomb that went off shortly after this picture was taken. The photographer died but the main subjects of the photo (man and the child) survived. A total of 29 people died in the blast.
 Just a regular photograph of scuba divers right? Well, the guy swimming on the left is trying to rescue the female diver in the background of the photograph. The person taking the picture was just snapping photos of the divers swimming around underwater and didn't realize that he had caught the aftermath of a (alleged) murder. The diver in the middle of the frame is posing in a "hey look, I'm scuba diving", but doesn't realize that moments earlier another diver (not in frame) had reportedly held his wife (the woman in the background) in a bear-hug after allegedly turning off her air regulator until she went unconscious. He then went to surface and asked for help (the diver on the left swimming down to attempt to rescue her), and the photographer was unaware that this had all taken place when he took the photograph. Husband was charged and convicted of manslaughter. Here's more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Tina_Watson |

If we're going to do some "unsettling" pictures, then I have a few. Like this one:  Top left. 2 of the 3 "pointing guns" are the Columbine shooters. |

One other:  Tyler Hadley (right) takes this photo with his best friend on the left. This came just a few minutes after Hadley had confessed to him that he had murdered his parents with a hammer just a few hours prior. He hid them in a locked bedroom, took out a bunch of money, and threw this party. His best friend, in an attempt to not seem suspicious, then had to act out the rest of the party as "having fun" with Tyler in fear that he would be killed if he had rushed out to call police. He was able to make the call a few hours later when Tyler wasn't focused on him. |

Yeah, the Columbine one is pretty messed up. It's kind of one of those "did they know they were already planning that out?" And it definitely would suck to be one of the others who are participating in the finger-guns that didn't do the shooting and are now sort of grouped in, mildly, because of that photo. That sucks. You see people doing something fun and then participate in it, and then the aftermath is just a horrible circumstance.

 In the above photo, you see a politician's family in the late evening posing by their car. The person taking the photograph is the father/politician, trying to snap a picture of his family. What he catches as he takes the photo is the few seconds before he is assassinated by the man pointing the gun at him on the top left. The man on the top right is his accomplice who made sure the coast was clear as they prepared the murder. Very haunting and creepy that the man about to be killed captured a photo of his killer during the act.  What seems like a fun and interesting photograph is actually a scientific pre-warning from their contact with the ground that lightning is about to strike right where they are standing. They thought it was neat and took a photo, but it's actually seconds before a deadly lightning strike will hit. |

Back to just all-around creepy images, but I'll give some with info I can find:  The tagline with this one is that it was a beauty pageant in which they didn't want to be judged on their looks. I'm not sure how presenting your figure and hiding your face accomplishes that...  This is apparently an old method of anti-freckle treatment, but it looks more like a 1950s version of the Matrix.  This was a cafe in Paris called Hell's Cafe.  A mickey mouse gas mask. It's exactly what it is. |

This is called horsemanning in the 1920s, basically like their version of planking. I feel like this should come back immediately.  This girl was studied while she was living in a "home for disturbed children." She spent the better part of her childhood in a concentration camp. She was photographed here after a request for her to "draw your home."  This is a photograph from 1930 of a "Miss Beautiful Eyes" pageant. Contestants were only judged on their eyes:  |
