Only the Creepiest Photos Ever Taken [PICS]
mentalfloss.com — Mourning is a strange thing, and different cultures deal with it in vastly different ways. But there ’s a reason people associate the Victorians above all with morbidity and death. These postmortem photographs were taken more than any other kind of photograph in the Victorian era, especially in the U.S.

- Kumaku, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3Yeah man, I've seen some ***** up stuff, but some reason, this gave me a totally different feel. I saw the 3rd pic and just kind of closed out.
- je12u, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Death is a natural part of life. Instead of feeling dirty and burying the article, why not explore those feelings and try to make some sense of it?

- lennybird, on 05/07/2008, -15/+1While I agree it was probably fake, you miss the "it is likely," - likely being the key word, as in - not absolute. There's no proof that it's real and none against it, so I don't understand why people are digging him down.
- 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.
- lennybird, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1That was rhetorical and irrelevant. You at least have to observe something to question it; how can you observe a beloved spaghetti monster - invisible in all the images?

- GreenGrassyNoel, on 05/07/2008, -3/+7We do the same type of thing today with movies. How people deal with death keeps changing, The future will look back on us and think we were creepy.
- breadfred, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7Usually we do not use dead people in movies. Certainly with a mourning close family member next to them.

- agentsarahjane, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6I agree that the pictures are creepy, but that was the way people dealt with death then. We are judging 19th century pictures with 21st century eyes. It seems strange how photography was born not so long ago. Perhaps our funeral rituals will seem strange a hundred years from now- like how mourners deal with cremains (the remains of a cremated body).Some people scatter ashes in places that are not traditional burial places and turn them into jewelry via the same method that makes cubic zirconium.

- diggrnumber1, 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):

- ElAssoWipo, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Death wasn't hidden back then.
Families expected to lose a kid or two. Public hangings weren't that uncommon, men fought in duels, people died from the flu, etc.
In their time the pics weren't creepy at all. They were like any other family pic. - heidivodka, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I don't find it creepy at all. When my brother died I was glad to be able to have the final pictures incase my memory failed as I get older.
Its the last chance to see your loved one, a last chance to be seen with them. Its not just about having happy memories but having all your memories, good, bad, happy and sad.
Seeing death should make you humble and glad to be alive. It should be a reminder to live your life
- MurphyMac, on 05/07/2008, -3/+26not dugg. too creepy to digg. I feel dirty for even looking at it.
- MississippiLife, on 05/07/2008, -7/+123Death is not as creepy as it is sad...
- 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.
- jcm267, on 05/07/2008, -5/+12I almost want to bury this submission as inaccurate.

- masterm1nd, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Yeah, at first I agreed they are creepy, but then I realized they're all dead people. Is it even possible for a photo of a dead person to not be creepy?
- schnikies79, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6Yea, I didn't see anything creepy. Didn't even see them as sad.
It's just reality, so to speak. - lennybird, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2For me, it brings me back to reality - that my family - and myself for that matter - are not invincible. It makes me happy to say that my family is healthy, but also aware that it will not always be that way. It also makes me think of the afterlife, and I have no idea what to expect.
- trainofthought, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Don't hold your breath.
- JAGUART, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Really? I've seen a fresh corpse or two in my time. Be glad those pics aren't in technicolor.
- N00F, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6I thought the picture of the brother in mourning was very sad. I would tear me apart to lose one of my brothers. You could see the pain in his eyes.

- goat2, on 05/07/2008, -7/+100nsfw LOL
- 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.

- DeathJux, on 05/07/2008, -30/+10“Child in Coffin at the Death Room” reminds me of the style Opeth uses for their album covers. Rather off-topic, but Opeth is an exceptionally talented Progressive Death Metal band that's been playing for 20+ years. They blend melodic and death metal vocals and combine them with extremely awesome musicianship.
One of their more epic songs, The Drapery Falls:

You have got to be kidding...and is musicianship even a word?- CatsAreGods, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13Why, yes, it is.
- dylio, on 05/07/2008, -1/+7Have you ever listened to Opeth?
- Klisk, on 05/07/2008, -3/+17Opeth is old. :(
And with all that buildup your link should of been a rick roll.- DeathJux, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3They've been releasing albums consistently throughout the 20+ years they've been together. Their most recent, Watershed, is on par with their other recent releases, like Ghost Reveries/Damnation/Deliverance/Blackwater Park.
old != irrelevant, nor bad - nonsapiens, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2God damn bad grammar: "should HAVE been a rick roll", not "should of".
Oaf.- Klisk, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1You should of realized that you don't get scene points for pointing out irrelevant grammar mistakes.

Then I saw the pics of children posing with corpses. Who even thinks that up?- Lythium, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Welcome to the Victorian age. Apparently it's not socially acceptable leave your furniture's "limbs" uncovered, but photo ops with dead people are perfectly okay.
- 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.

- JakeyG14, on 05/07/2008, -2/+10Well dead girls don't say "No".
- 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.- da_bradler, on 05/07/2008, -28/+9pics or it didn't happen.
- 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...- heidivodka, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Its so you have every memory at hand. Your memory is sometimes not at its best at difficult times. I had pictures with my brother when he died because it was my last chance to have them taken with him. I was unable at the time to say when we last had a picture taken together.
I'm really glad I have them, I don't look at those that often but I know they are there when I need them

- brjndr, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1When my grandfather died in India, they took a picture of him sitting in a chair. My aunt moved to the US after, and we came across the picture once at her house. It was really creepy. She explained it was something people just did back there.

- FunnyBunnyBo, on 05/07/2008, -31/+2Why do you bring those whatevers up? WASTING space, DIVERTING discussion, filling in gaps with BLAHS?
Just stop it. It's not useful. It's not inspiring.
Google: WTC7 and spend a week researching that and the other anomalies of 9/11. THEN come back here and have a discussion with the folks who are three+ steps ahead of you and the painfully out-dated bureaucratic system you represent today.
Or you could keep making a fool of yourself in front of the international community by continuing to focus on running your pathetic sideshow. The world is watching. Best foot forward, as they say.- iammustangman, on 05/07/2008, -0/+29Chill

Don't flatter yourself, you clearly still think WTC7 was a controlled demolition...

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.- lindasue, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Those pictures are so sad. Especially the ones of mothers with their babies/children. How heartbreaking.
- jaydoj, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Static X had an album that was all the rage called Wisconsin Death Trip.
- elishagrey, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Those are some amazing photos. The ones posted on the flickr set aren't quite as morbid as the name implies.

- Arcanis, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Oh I have an idea for a Tim Burton movie...
- 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.
- capainter, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Good call. Yeah these are a bit creepy, but you have to take them in context. Certainly not the "creepiest photos ever taken."
- troycott, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13didn't Saddam have some of these taken too?

- 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.
- Rekottop, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4I also didn't find the pics too creepy either; at first. While reading the article is when I the creeps especially with the finial part pointing out the first photograph had the man's eyes open. I didn't notice that at first.

- asancho, on 05/07/2008, -7/+15Cant sleep. Clown. Will. Kill. Me.
- SteelTallon, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8I am not sure what is creepier, the photo or the fact they had to play with dead people to make the shot happen in the 1st place... I don't like messing with dead animals, let alone dead people.....
- Sergey500, on 05/07/2008, -7/+20______o The expressions of those who are posed with the dead ones are so...."Wtf am I doing here? Are you people ***** in the head? He's my brother who just died!"
- Bummer12, on 05/07/2008, -3/+4The pic is SOOO creepy especially the second one. The person one the right is in the shadows OHH it spooky.
- Rekottop, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Did you read the article? It said that was the photographer's assistant holding coffin open.
- sweetpink841, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2ahhhh that was super creepy.
- mparker7410, on 05/07/2008, -4/+5Not that creepy actually.

- asklink, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1Interesting and creepy.
- alittleroy101, on 05/07/2008, -9/+6What's the difference between a dead baby and a trampoline?
When you jump on a trampoline, you take your boots off.- seeyounorth, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1What's worse than a trash can full of dead babies?
The one that's still alive, eating its way to the top.

- evanct, on 05/07/2008, -8/+0how is this creepy? its some dead bodies, big deal
- OfNumbers, on 05/07/2008, -3/+5These aren't creepy. I guess I'm desensitized.
- mlbcdgh, on 05/07/2008, -4/+1Very interesting.

- Rekottop, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2LOL
- Hangly, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3See? How is that not tasteful?
- tymdautyt, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6I just can't stand this type of title anymore. I'm sure you haven't look into all of the creepy photos to determine that they are the "creepiest photos ever taken".
- Lilitou, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5I've seen this same collection of photos before. I keep meaning to see if there are any others on the internet somewhere.
They were a bit fetishistic about death in the Victorian era, but in a way I think they may have been a little healthier than much of present-day America, at least. (I can't speak to other cultures' attitudes on the subject.) But then, they had to live with it a lot more intimately than most of us do.- Daggerfall, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3I totally agree. Many people have a warped, unnatural relationship to death these days. It seems like something to 'protect' children from which only adds to the effect.
It's a natural part of life, so why the big taboo around it?

- 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.
- lindasue, 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.- 4LeggedtriPod, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6That's not strange.
/sarcasm
