What scares you?

Does the dark terrorize you? What about spiders? Do they make you tremble—do they make you scream? Snakes? Swimming in deep water? How about ghosts? Are they real? Have you ever had an encounter of the supernatural kind?

Some say fear is spawned from the unknown. I say it can be spawned from what we know. Here are some examples.  These pictures might appear to be nothing more than a camera malfunctions or fog on the road at night, that is, until you know the story behind the pictures. And it’s knowing what you’re looking at, that makes it scary.

 A few years ago I took a road trip with my sister-in-law and my sons to the Boston Museum of Science. We had a great time, took tons of pictures. When we got home we went through them and came to a dead stop on this picture of my son. Neither one of the photos before or after have any issues.

Look close at my son's arm. You can see bone through his shirt and his arm appears to be broken. Also, if you look real close, you'll see a face super-imposed over his head. Two eyes, a nose and mouth. The top of the skull starts above his head and the bottom of the chin ends at his shoulders. Now the scary part. My son has broken that arm in the same place. One other interesting thing—this picture was taken in front of the human lung exhibit with actual human remains in the case.

Now is your skin crawling?

The second picture has another story. Fremont County, Colorado. It's the home of cowboys, people who love the outdoors, artists and ghosts. Here's a picture my brother took. At the time he thought it was of an old foundation. After he downloaded the photos to his computer he saw this. It shows up better on a computer that isn't a flat screen, so I hope you can see the faces in the fog. By the way, it wasn't a foundation. It was an old mine that collapsed back in the 1800s and was sealed off for public safety and that fog wasn't there when he took the picture.

The scary part—It’s a mass grave.

 One last scare—uh picture.

Back to my brother’s creepy hobby. He goes out at night and photographs old cemeteries, ghost towns condemned buildings and he’s even visited an old abandoned smelting plant in the hope of catching the images of the residents we don't know are there. He's captured some pretty woo-woo moments and this is one of them. This is the site of a fatal car accident in the 50’s. The fog wasn't there when the picture was taken. My brother attempted to take the picture several times before his camera finally worked. New batteries, new camera. It worked fine everywhere but the spot of the accident. Finally it worked and he captured this.

The scary part—look in the lower right hand corner an inch from the bottom. There's a face.

Anybody see any others?
