Thread: There's disturbing, and then there's DISTURBING!

I can't believe I just came across this thread. My vote is definitely a prop. I've worked with dead things since 1990 and that just doesn't look "real"ly dead.

What is that "tag" in the background to the left of the casket? Is it a PRICE TAG? HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH?????

Ohh Gawd, not this pic again, lol......so wrong.

Love this thread....can't wait to see what "comment" is next!! LOL

I know someone whose husband is so into ventriloquism. He collects the "dummies" and has them sitting on little ledges in his bedroom on the walls. It completely creeped her out and she told him it felt like they were looking at her and he had to do something about it. She meant not have them in the bedroom. His interpretation - he put little paper bags on all their heads. We still laugh about it - when she went back in there it was 10 times as creepy having those dolls with their heads covered in paper bags!

No offence to ventriloquists - its a true talent but those dummies creep me out almost as much as clowns! That picture is going to haunt me in my dreams.

For a second job, a number of years ago, I took up work as a Funeral Home Driver. I'd pick up the recently departed and drive them to the Home for preparation. Creepy and not the best job, but it paid well and was easy for the most part.

Anyways, from working there and talking with the Embalmer I know for a fact that the eyes of a recently deceased are in a pretty poor state when they arrive (bodily fluids and time take their effect on them) Often the embalmer inserts a sized wadding or cap under the eyelid to give it a true-to-life shape and then seal the eyelids closed with a type of glue. Simply, even if it was upon the family's request the eyes wouldn't look like that -- unless false eyes (marbles) were inserted.

So I would say this picture is a fake or more likely some kinda promotional photo. Maybe a spooky ventriloquist or something who 'channels the paranormal' or some other gimmicky angle.

So I have lived up to my Name!

Reminds me of that creepy movie "Magic" from the 1970's. It starred a younger Anthony Hopkins. I think Ann Margaret was in it too.

I think the picture in this thread is weird, but not really disturbing.
