QUICK EVERYONE, HIDE!

victorian post mortem photography skull illusion pinterest creepy family

Dear crapping Christ what the fuck is going on here?! I found this as a thumbnail pic and opened it up whilst slurping coffee. Let’s just stay I need to wash the study wall once I’m done typing this.

For the record, I don’t think for one minute that anyone in this supposedly post mortem photography is dead (although I found it online described as such). What I do think is that someone needs to find me some Xanax.

  4. He is precisely the reason why Social Workers were invented. What worries me is that the child doesn’t look scared. Perhaps conditioned to living with a monster and a transvestite?

    The child has a detachable head. Why would he be afraid?

    Uuummm….I would have to say at least the boy is certainly dead, if not the man, too. It looks like the boy is being held up by the man, whom could possibly also be “held up” (tied to the chair) Im not an expert AT ALL not NEARLY and I certainly agree this photo is very creepy, but if that boy and probably that man arent dead, then I must be hallucinating…

    Or perhaps an unfortunate mix of genetic traits of bad teeth and heavy brow shading the eyes, and the possibility that these old people had to restrain an unhappy child to get that one photo taken after sitting there for such a long time. We have a joke in our family about the “Bitikofer stare” – my husband’s grandfather’s eyes in every photo taken of him are piercingly dark and intense. If you didn’t know him, you’d think he was very creepy, which he wasn’t. But it’s still an unfortunately funny picture, hate to say it.

    I would love to know where you found this picture?? Are you willing to share?

    • Violet says:

      I’m always willing to share :) I found it on Pinterest. I usually include details of where I found pictures where relevent, but as this one was simply in a hotchpotch collection of pics (that had pinned and repinned and therefore lost their origins), I didn’t bother on this occasion.

      I just did a search for ‘post mortem photography’ and up it popped ;)

    I think this is a case of blue eyes not reflecting right in these old timely photos. Over the years, I have noticed earlier photographs, (civil war era, erawhereearlier stereotypeshe), where the people have freaky zombie eyes. I noticed this tended to occur among people with blue eyes. I think they probably looked normal in real life. Something to do with the lighter eyes coming out blurry and the pupils look intense from the primitive lighting. I guess you could say these would be the earliest cases of “red eye.” Of course, I could be wrong. Just my own theory.

    Daguerrotype, not stereotypes, dang auto correct.
