I'd call this one "Basement Stares" because I feel there's a pair of dark & malevolent eyes staring at me from just within the edge of the shadows. Extraordinarily creepy shot!

Probably the only reason why someone decided to sketch this colorful 1940's bar room picture is because there are a lot of Americans that do have their favorite bar that they do enjoy drinking and talking to their friends in it (bar).

That individual that was drawing this picture may have become so emotionally distraught of being a patient at that hospital for possibly a long period of time, and he or she may have wanted to return to or to remind themselves of their favorite neighborhood bar that they (hospital patient) wanted to draw that picture as another form of a psychological escape or to try to help themselves to relax in their medical environment.

The green light definitely lends an eerie, yet beautiful, quality to this photo.

Love those wild grass tufts (exactly this species!) in fields and especially in cems.
Had on my mind for some time now to dig up a clump and transplant it to my place.

Something took a chip out of that.

3 ghosts

Looks like boot hill.

Maybe they were able to file information on corresponding number(of course,who knows where that is now)
Maybe this is standard procedure.
Maybe they figured they had they're last expense.
But again, I don't think they meant any harm.

Are those bricks man made (instead of being processed in a 20th Century factory)... ?

I have seen 19th Century man made bricks and these bricks that are in that above photograph do seem to be man made.

Great effect!



common for stones to shift.
not uncommon for skulls and other bones to be pushed to the surface in 19th century cemeteries.

so they're going to have to exume all of these??! Think of how interested those workers will be.
oh well ,as long as they get payed I guess they'll figure.

...And to think- that in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 in Salem Mass.,some of those executed were intered with a head stone that included the line "hanged as a witch..."

(in the 1967 documentary "Titicut Follies", about the life and times at Bridgewater Prison for the Criminally Insane, also in Mass.,(film was banned for thirty years) I found the scene of a deceased inmate to be starkly bleak,and no one was there save the priest, Warden,and those who would bury him .
When in prison you lose people and family as they bail on you,but you may meet others; even pen pals. You may even marry.
When you are in an insane institution you lose even more people,as try as they may they get tired of you and can''t keep up with the situation.
When you are in a prison for the criminally insane you lose everybody.

Suppose it could be worse ; i.e.; institution for the criminally insane.
