Looking for Photos of the Strange and Unexplained

[Hjorimir]

I've got this urge to run a 1930s Pulp campaign with a kind of X-Files feel and I'm trying to gather some props in the form of black and white photos that point the strange or unexplained (aliens, monsters, ghosts, magic, conspiracy, etc.).

Does anybody have a good source?

Thanks!

The Brown Lady; the clearest ghost photograph ever taken.

http://community.livejournal.com/the_other_realm has some creepy stories in it that you could certainly mine for inspiration.

This link leads to some of the coolest Seance pictures ever.

"The Incident"

I've posted the most impressive pics. There are five or six other pictures if you follow the link.

(And before anyone really freaks out - THEY'RE FAKE. The creator made the pictures (and the website claiming how the pictures were "found") as an art school project. But they're still WAY COOL!)

Hjorimir, you could print these out on glossy photo paper and tell the players in your Pulp game that they're REAL pictures from a 1930's Seance that went Horribly Wrong!!!

Wow! Thanks a ton, all!

Hey, thanks for posting the link to Strange. I used to read it when it was a print mag, but thought it went out of business. I didn't know they were still around on the web.

PS: I'm of a skeptical bent, and have found that, ironically, when either Strange or Fortean Times decide that something is hooey and really needs a debunking, they do a much better and throrough job of it than either the Skeptic or the Skeptical Inquirer.
