Creepy vintage photo of soldier with eerie grin in trench
This man was a soldier in World War I. His nationality is unknown. I will never know his name, when he fought or if he ever made it home. I will never know if he had a wife and kids and if he was drafted or if he volunteered. I will never know what he was thinking as the photographer clicked the shutter in that godforsaken trench a century ago. But his smile- cold, empty, the result of being shell-shocked and the precursor to PTSD- his smile will never leave me.

Black and white creepy photo showing ghostly figure on staircase
Here is the world famous "Brown Lady" photo. Apparently, according to our resident skeptic, the Kodak expert who certified the above photo as genuine, most certainly must have been a 'fraud'. Obviously, by definition, anyone who believes such patent rubbish must be in need of a psychologist...... That is until you have seen such 'patent rubbish' yourself, as I have.....

this was taken at 3:14 AM by a motion sensing camera in my girlfriend's place. She lives in an old house and we had our suspicions.

needless to say, she lives with me now and gave that place to her parents.

Creepy photo showing ghostly figure on staircase in dimly lit hallway
The first time I saw this I just almost c**pped my pants, it just scary the way that kid is looking at the camera. After knowing the story, I actually did cr*p my pants.

The photo below was allegedly taken inside the Amityville house in 1976. It has become one of the most famous paranormal photos of all time. It features what appears to be a young boy with white eyes who is peaking out of a doorway. George Lutz revealed the Amityville ghost boy photo on the Merv Griffin show back in 1979, three years after it was taken.

The image was supposedly captured by Gene Campbell, a professional photographer who was part of the team who worked with paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Gene had set up an automatic camera that took infrared pictures to capture the second floor landing during the night. Equipped with black and white film, his camera captured this Amityville ghost boy photo that some have speculated could be the ghost of the m*rdered child, John Defeo, who had lived in the house with his family prior to the Lutzs.

Famous creepy photo of grassy hill under blue sky and a brown hillside below
The famous and iconic Windows XP wallpaper is an image of a real hill, a real blue skies and very real clouds. The photo was taken in 2001 and if you had been outside that day, you could have walked out and climbed that gentle slope, feeling the green grass under your toes…

The same exact location, twenty years later, is a barren and dead shadow of it’s former self. I don’t always think about these things, but I do, from time to time. We picture the world we live in, and capture a moment in time. Just one moment. And as soon as we click our camera, that moment ends. And we can never again see it quite like that.
