Even without the photochopping, the pictures themselves are very artistic with a very eerie ambiance.

Snakedance

Interesting pictures, chopped or not. The artist seems to catch all those primordial fears that make us shiver in the night. I dont know about you but if I were walking through the woods and came upon the "figure in the fog" I would probably shit on myself. Having had some experience with a "ghost", I have found that weird things are much better at giving you chill bumps than anything else.

cleverly photoshopped, i must say...it was kind of like a game of where's waldo :-) doubtful that they were real, though, esp. coming from a banned poster

Chingal0

You fucker, that was UN-CALLED FOR! I'm now scared and can't sleep. Thanks.

Interesting thread, I agree haha, good times.

very cool... I only saw the obvious guy in the reflection inside the tower, which was only slightly freaky... seeing all the other stuff now makes it rather silly in it's fakeness, but really cool nonetheless

Unga

definately spooky

the things pointed out are cool though

radioguy

I'm like you Rdr4evr. I've tried and tried and I just don't see the "other things". Awesome pics, though. Time to scroll back up and see what i can find

aarchaon

I loved these when I first saw them on the SA forums. The first time through I didnt notice anything wrong in any of the pictures except the reflection of the grey man in the tower. I looked through them again and I saw the creepy monkey things hanging off the tree branches. The flying head made me jump though!

ShaniFaye, if you love abandoned buildings, take a look at this, I about drove me crazy. It's hard to get back out of, but worth it if you like to explore.

*bump
this is still one of the coolest photochop / paranoia threads ever

Hain

Looks like an amateur film student taking shots for a film location...
I mean the way that some of the pictures were taken then possibly doctored. That would be the most optimistic reason for the camera to be there in the first place. Was that part of the forest private property? I can't imagine someone dropping a camera without either being hauled away by police or having to run away from the police.

The hunched over guys... looks like the hole in the wall from Mothman Prophecies, and what Geer's wife drew. That's mainly why I figure it's an ameteur film because any big budget film (if these were for a film) photographers would not have left the camera in the forest.

If nothing else these photos are really cool. Inspires me to write something really scary!

duukiey

Hmm, not too sure that i like these pics, chopped or not they do give me the EEBEE, GEEBEE's, and that refelextion, every time i scole by it i for some reason get a shiver down my spine, #12 has a figure in the center left in the shadows, i jsut don't know, but i like the feeling to a point...

-mike-

NCB

Creepy.


I'm glad I looked at them before going to bed :roll:

waltert

lol, if you really found that camera abandoned in a forest, the only logical thing to do would be to take it to the police department and have them check it for prints to find out who the owner is...if someone say "got missing" and you had their camera it might put you in a bad spot.

but most of the stuff posted here is more like comedy than paranormal

zerosk8

Ya.....some of those are pretty cool.....especially the one with the reflection......the building, with all of the fog and ivy and stuff......thats the "scariest" one and there isnt even figure in it

drakers

It almost seems that as soon as that picture of the the guy's back (in the reflection), that the person taking the pictures started back down what he was climbing and ran away scarred. Because the last few are blurred and look like taken when they were in a hurry. The last one is taken on the ground, like the person was knocked down. Well that is just a small observation. But it seems they probably were doctored.

That set of pictures is just creepy. I think the 9th photo looks doctored but the other ones look completely real. It's just weird.

All of those links are pretty interesting. I loved reading that Midnight Society page jwoody. I live in the UK and it's made me want to visit New Jersey now cause of all the freaky stuff on that site . That mansion which has been abandoned on that site because of lack of funding or bankruptcy is absolutely amazing. I wouldn't be too suprised if someone hasnt come along and finished it off yet. Truly stunning building.

Edit: The Colts Neck mansion if you're wondering

pinoychink790

i don't know but those pictures really freaked me out. I think i'm going to have some nightmares tonight

Hampshire

these things are wicked, fun to look at and creepy at the same time

shakran

if they're gonna perpetrate a hoax, they should at least name a camera that could take the pics.


This shot could not have been taken with an S20 because it requires a rapid zoom while the shutter is open. You can only do that with an SLR camera that has manual zoom.

Benji

nice point you've got there shakran

kitsune

are these all from the same place? i really liked them and i'd like to visit wherever that is. how'd you find these?

Bratwurst

Just found this thread... the links to the other forums are bad now probably because of the time that has past. Anyone know of any other resources on these pictures? I'd love to read more. Thanks.

The original poster was under 18.

This series was originall posted on the Something Awful forums under the title "I found a camera in the woods." Since then, ti has spreda like wildfire and everyone on the internet has seen it. If I remember correctly it's a side project done as part of a college art project and a promo for a guy's business. It's all fake, and the location was found and posted by Cervantes in post #63.

Benji

Thanks for clearing that shit up MrSD!

ShaniFaye

fake or not, it was fun while it lasted, since it was an adult version of kids "find the hidden "whatever" in the picture"

and the scenery was great....I wished I lived near NY so I could go visit
