I'm Losing You

Nothing like a season of death to make you reflect upon the afterlife.

For the record, I'm not sure what I believe in but I'm fascinated by "real ghost" pictures...

Really old photos are hard to trust in general. They tend to have a spookier quality because of the texture of the old film stocks and all the natural light leaks. But people used a lot of "double-exposure" tricks back in the day, experimenting with the medium. In this picture, the photographer left a lot of headspace in the framing.

This one is creepier, IMHO. The man in the backseat. It's subtler. You get the sense that the man in the passenger seat wasn't aware of anything, which is always a sweet touch.

This one looks a little too much like a clip from a horror film. Supposedly taken in an empty hospital hallway in the 1920s.

Family portrait. Shenanigans? Possibly. But I know this house and there were some really unsettling things happening in there for years.
