Eerie forest photos

Post by Bug-Eyed Earl »

http://www.penny-arcade.com/forums/view ... hp?t=73796

I don't really care for the bullshit story about "Finding" the camera that went with the pictures (this was posted on Something Awful's forums first; I would imagine that soon enough Snopes will have an entry for these pics), but the pics are simply awesome. Makes me want to get a decent camera, so I can Photoshop some pics like this guy did.

EDIT: Fuck it- I didn't make it clear enough, I guess, but all of the photos are fake and it was made by a guy on the SA forums. I don't want this to turn into a dissection of the photos- I just like them, fake or not.

Meh, they look pretty amateurish to me. *shrugs*

Only see the "guy" in two shots, maybe a third, if he's supposed to be reflected... maybe the Penny-arcade folks piont out where he is in the others...

A bit TOO subtle, if I can't see them after looking carefully. :P

Awesome atomospheric pictures even without the dude in them, though.

Late at night, after reading that entire thread (believing it all up until page 6 or 7-ish), that was scary as fuck. Now, it's just hilarious.

I don't give a flip if they are fake, whomever set them up did an excellent job. that's horror at it's finest. making things so that your imagination fills in the blanks. I have no trouble admitting thiese things scared the shit out of me. as a matter of fact, the one with the dead guy in the reflective surface (Maybe it's his buddy just looking over the side, I dunno) gave me my first nightmare in months. the others...it's the subtelties that make it...like the shadowy figures and whatnot, and wondering what happened to that guy who owned the camera? You know? Excellent, excellent work to the originator of this sham.
