I actually took this photo down my street during heavy fog.
The figure in the road makes it extra creepy, nice.

It's photoshopped, but I thought it was a sinkhole at first.

Creepy women/thing from the P.T demo.
I was reading on the first television broadcast just yesterday, and discovered the old Phonovision experiments, which, as far as I know, included one of the first long distance transmissions (over 400 miles). Since the quality was really bad and the light for the experiments was too hot for people, they used a ventriloquist’s dummy head, called Stookie Bill.
Here's an image of it:
and the frames of one of the few phonovision records that survived the times:
Interestingly, another record actually featured a person, and you can see wonderfully, albeit pretty small, here how it looks like:
Yeah. It's the first record "Au claire de la lune" all again.
The images and animations are from the "Dawn of the TV" website, which is really well written and informative. But man, that doll. Needless to say, there are a few horror stories about it.
And as a bonus, here's a Stookie Bill that survived the experiments, from the National Media Museum:
Edit:
Another bonus, the "marcus games" discs from 1932-35 also have that stuff, and there are two animations where they simply can't tell what the heck it actually is.
Seriouly, what's this? (Also from the TV Dawn website)

Zoroastrianism Dakhma (Tower of Silence in English). They're (usually) large, cylindrical raised stone structures built to house the dead, exposing corpses to the sky and the birds to decompose. The pit in the middle collects the skeletal remains as the bodies break down. Pretty gruesome and absolutely NSFW (visible dead bodies, gore), so linking only:

There has to be a thread about supernatural stories in the community.

Love things like this. So eery. Dyatlov and Tunguska too. Something about strange phenomena in the largely barrand tundra gets me all excited.

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I'm pretty sure I just saw these guys on Shark Tank.
Hey Mel, wondering if you got some good thalassophobia-related images

Here's some images I found on my laptop. Some of them have probably been posted on the thread.

Good pictures Melchiah - the sea does have some creepy shit, although I find it equally fascinating. Those ones with the whales are amazing.
This is gorgeous. I love creepy Gothic stuff. There's something so wonderfully bleak about it.
That's terrific - was the person standing there deliberate, or a happy coincidence? Because I didn't notice that at first, and it makes the image all kinds of creepy.

Okay, sharks are where I'm out - whales are amazing and fascinating; sharks just make frightened of the ocean.

This is great! And I assume it's from a really good haunted house somewhere.

I'd visit there, if I had the chance.
You just know some of those hands are NOT props!
I think its photoshopped.

To tell the truth, not really. I think Gaf offers more balanced discussion and information, and is better moderated. It's become the only gaming site I visit nowadays, as I can find everything here.
feel you. no secret you're a fan of Sony's offerings as much as I was Nintendo's, so that place kind of sucked if you wanted to talk about anything outside PC or Xbox.
Good to see you so active on this side. Be safe my man.
