Funky photos!

Well, my current job, while getting to be surrounded by super-nice people, just is not that stimulating. It involves copious amounts of time sat at my desk and surfing the internet. Or, as I am now, writing my blog!

There are some wild and wacky sites out there, this is something we all know. But I came across a few that are really just too much fun for my writer's brain to ignore: the mysterious photos. These are collections of random pictures, often at least 50 years old, that have been found, or are just plain bizarre, since they usually don't have any context provided. This is the webpage that kicked off my fantastic Google search: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/50-unexplainable-black-white-photos

Here are the pictures from that site, that intrigued me the most.

I have an instant scenario of murder in my head, and wonder why they are so happy about it. Did they kill someone that had been keeping them prisoner for years, and this was a memorial photo of their liberation? Had a rich relative been pushed into their next life, and now the six women were wealthy beyond their imaginations?

This one is puzzling. Did her fiance die, so she sits with his skeleton, imagining how their life might have been? (This is the slightly less disturbing version of where I went when I first saw the photo!) 

Creepy. Just plain creepy. This is a monster straight out of childhood nightmares.

Keep in mind that NONE of these pictures has any context to them, which makes them all the more intriguing.

This one, I found on http://blackandwtf.tumblr.com/, and it apparently documents a real event of a child being shipped via package delivery in the US, back when it was first introduced. This bears some further investigation, methinks, but what an idea!

I hope these pictures have whet your imagination, as they did mine. And check out the pages these are from, there are hilarious and freaky pictures over pages and pages. I'll post more if I find them!

Ciao!
