babyslime: I want to know what happened here. woah, no kidding. it looks like a still from a movie about a mid-century apocalypse (like this is the traffic jam from people leaving the city or something).whenever he sees an abandoned vehicle, my dad likes to wonder aloud if the person who drove it there knew that it would never be moved again. this picture takes that question to a whole new level.

geneparade:

In the 19th Century having a photograph taken was a lengthy process. Frustrated by the difficulties of getting children to sit still long enough to snap a proper photo , photographers in the 1800’s conceived of a technique called “The Hidden Mother”. Draping a sheet over the mothers head in an attempt to camouflage her as a part of the furniture to better emphasize the child, the mother was then able to hold her infant and keep them still long enough for the camera to get an exposure. Vintage photographs already have a eerie feel to them, but these images of moms as cloaked phantoms take the creep factor to the next level.

…& then that little boy in the upper-left of the last picture ensures that his photo is the creepiest thing imaginable.
