Looking for Photos of the Strange and Unexplained

[PrinceXaxor]

Damn you Transit! I came in here to post that.
And while this is not a collection of photos, it will help set the mood. It's a collection of Jazz Age slang.

I second these links. Great reading. Might wanna try Fortean Times messageboards and AboveTopSecret messageboards for other similar bits.

Here is a link to the classic "found camera in the woods" picture narrative. They are in backwards order, and in color, but you can make them black and white with many programs.

A general suggestion that might be of use. On 12 to midnight's site I found a link to the Ghost Investigators Society. The address is http://ghostpix.com

Other than photographs you might also be interested in what are known as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena). These are good and creepy. These are supposedly real recordings of ghost voices in haunted cellars and such. All you'd need is the means to play this at the table and you'll have fun freaking your players out.

Holy sheat, those EVP recordings are creepy.

I'm not trying to be pissy or anything, but I found the "Ted the Caver" thing to be disappointing. VERY long narrative, and not much payoff. At the end he . . . goes back in. Needless to say, I didn't believe a word of it, but even as fiction, it was somewhat wanting. I wanted more overtly "horrifying" stuff, I guess.

Its better when the person reading it isn't expecting the horror twist. It becomes a very wtf right around the time the third guy comes. The last page is the obvious slow horror, and the last link (and thus ending) adds a creepy, but ultimately tame dread.

You can also try Cryptomundo for lots of goodies.

When I first read the title of this thread, my first thought was.."Well, I have some pictures of an ex girlfriend."

I was pretty creeped out by Tedthecaver. I didn't think it was really real, but it still had a creepy feeling of dread to it. (It didn't help I was reading it in a dark room, on little sleep due to a long week of work, with no sounds but a fan running in the background....and bam....the fridge suddenly kicked on)
Maybe it's my runaway imagination...
