Unsettling

I found these in a random upscale thrift store in Manhattan today. Very spooky.

Found on the Job...



I was going through a major cleaning phase at work and ended up organizing the entire reception area. Some former employee had left an envelope of photos up there, including these 2 creepy polaroids. I think they were having a "spa" day at the office.

Rufus Stone - Site of King William II death

Yet another strange find in Rochester, this was a very old picture of the Rufus Stone, the site marking King William II's death by arrow, which was erected in 1865.

See a contemporary photo of it here (the trees are gone and the area looks quite bare now): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rufus_stone_side1.JPG

Child's Grave - Worcester, England 1900

Another morbid find from that Rochester antique store, a cabinet photo of a child's grave. "God called the little child."

Children's Funeral Memorial Cards

I found these in a little antique store in Rochester, England that specialized in postcards. They also had a lot of ephemera and photos.
