- IDIGTHEDIGG, on 05/07/2008, -13/+192Those are pretty creepy but not as much as this (NSFW) http://www.mugshots.com/IMAGES/Mugshot__michael-ja ...
- MississippiLife, on 05/07/2008, -7/+124Death is not as creepy as it is sad...
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -7/+105dugg. thats some creepy *****. the pic with the ghost in the background. thats just ***** up. isnt it kind of traumatizing for kids to not only make them pose at the grave like that? but to put a fake ghost in the pic. thats just *****.
- goat2, on 05/07/2008, -7/+100nsfw LOL
- macjaeh, on 05/07/2008, -4/+95Looks like the photographer solved the problem of getting kids to sit still during photos.
- theblueprint, on 05/07/2008, -1/+77When I first started looking at the pics, I was like "man, this really isn't *that* creepy".
Then I saw the pics of children posing with corpses. Who even thinks that up? - noncn4mst, on 04/15/2009, -0/+62Your use of quotation marks makes me uncomfortable..
- charmaniac, on 05/07/2008, -1/+56Its easy to say this is creepy by modern standards. However, mortality rates were much higher back then and photography was a relatively new and expensive undertaking. This was often the only way of obtaining a tangible memory of departed loved ones. Now that we have digital cameras and thousands of pictures of our family members, it is easy to cling to their memories in comparison to that age. Back then, these death poses were often the ONLY picture taken of a person to preserve their memory.

Not Safe For Little Boys - inactive, on 05/07/2008, -0/+43He looks deader than real dead people
- dontburythis, on 05/07/2008, -5/+47Where's Miley and Billy Ray's Vanity Fair pic?
- fael, on 05/07/2008, -2/+43i shat bricks
- FunnyBunnyBo, on 05/07/2008, -7/+47I saw a picture of a little Vietnamese girl running naked from her burning village, napalm burning through her skin.
I felt that picture was far more "creepy"
than the homage of life and death payed to loved ones recently departed.
---
I took pictures of my Mom when she died. Just in case. I "misplaced" the roll of film 3 years ago.
It was nice to know, though, that I had that extra "tool" at my disposal had it ever come in handy to my healing.
I could let go of it when I was good and ready. - LinuxGalore, on 05/07/2008, -0/+39I dont know about you but I didn't find any of the images creepy. I was more curious about the story behind them and how peoples perspectives have changed over time.
- travis6690, on 05/07/2008, -2/+39Digg hasn't even seen creepy. I mean, I have some pictures of your mom in the morning.. Jesus Christ.
- InuX, on 05/07/2008, -3/+33Kids were way creepier back then.
- iammustangman, on 05/07/2008, -0/+29Chill
Out - iidestined, on 05/07/2008, -0/+27While reading the captions, I was loading a video and the audio came on. I almost ***** myself.
- greenwald, on 05/07/2008, -1/+28Yeah, some of these photos are from Wisconsin Death Trip: photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/whsimages/sets/721576 ...
The book was all the rage in the 70's. People were much more chilled out with dead people back then. I was a kid then and looked at it, ***** thing depressed the hell out of me for a few weeks. - nepalikakro, on 05/07/2008, -0/+26Shat.
- carlosos, on 05/07/2008, -3/+28Good to see that I'm not the only one that didn't find any of the pictures creepy.
- MurphyMac, on 05/07/2008, -3/+26not dugg. too creepy to digg. I feel dirty for even looking at it.

- anagoge, on 05/07/2008, -6/+23TORN
- Voide, on 05/07/2008, -1/+18My question is, wouldn't it be harder to heal if you saw a picture of her after she passed away? Wouldn't it be easier to remember her life rather then her death? I had a grandpa that died of brain cancer, and it was much more comforting to look back at pictures when he was alive, then the think about his death. Granted, the person mourning isn't ignoring the fact their loved one has passed.
Just worndering... - Hoxie, on 05/07/2008, -0/+15Yes

- Klisk, on 05/07/2008, -3/+17Opeth is old. :(
And with all that buildup your link should of been a rick roll. - troycott, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13didn't Saddam have some of these taken too?
- breadfred, on 05/07/2008, -2/+15True. And in all pictures was an invisible image of our Beloved Spaghetti Monster with its Holy Appendages. Can't disprove that either.
- xDynaBlade, on 05/07/2008, -2/+15Those pictures weren't really very creepy.
- CatsAreGods, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13Why, yes, it is.
- DrywallThief, on 05/07/2008, -2/+14Reality.

- FunnyBunnyBo, on 05/07/2008, -3/+14OK, that was funny. Just imagine 50m 100, 200, 500 years from now when future historians are pouring over the artifacts the this most interesting era of human development and they are studying the astounding collection of Michael Jackson photographs. You have to consider that by these times, any emotional attachment to the "Thriller" man will be long since buried in the pages of the human story. What are they going to think seeing this man, his photographs, his public history, his private history, his children's history? I think it will flabbergast, and eventually enlighten human beings. Same with Britney. A cruel, yet awesome live psychological experiment where the public at large determines the major factors in the character development of a public figure. So far, the findings are coming back frightening imo.
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11That looks like Mr Jefferson!
- GoatRoper, on 05/07/2008, -1/+12I posted this further down but here it is again;
This goes on even today but it is not creepy at all. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/) helps parents of stillborn or terminally ill infants get photographs of their child. As a photographer I can say that I would be more than happy to help a parent cope with the loss in this manner. - inactive, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11My family does that. Creeps me out. When I was a kid, my mom chastised me for taking a picture of a headstone at a cemetery. Years later, she's taking pictures at a funeral. Her excuse: our family is so spread out and everyone can't make it here, so we'll send them pictures.
I'm sorry, but that creeps me out. - JasonMath, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11Unless the little boys belong to NAMBLA...
- wheresjim, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9I used to work in a photo lab and people do this quite often, at least take pictures of people in their coffins and such.
- superrad, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9These pics came from this site, and there's many more on the page
http://ame2.asu.edu/projects/haunted/ISA%20index/b ... - inactive, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9This postmortem photograph of Jesse James was displayed on the front page of every major newspaper around the world after he died to prove that he really was dead (they didn't have photoshop back then):

- StigNordas, on 05/07/2008, -13/+22Dugg, but that was WAY too creepy, even for digg.
