Unreal. Check out this image capture from the Edgar Allen Poe museum.

My friend was doing some street photography and was down at the Poe museum in Richmond, Virginia the other evening and got this image capture. That is a not a person. The Poe museum is contained in one of the oldest houses in Richmond, Virginia.

2. Just the random play of shadow and light. It is eerie, though.

3. Nope, that brick building is certainly not a person.

:evilgrin:

Still looks cool, though. I'll bet it would be even better in B&W.

4. Oh no! There's an imaginary image of a man inside the imaginary image of a woman!

Amazing how your brain sees patterns in random things :)

9. I see a dress, and an arm

and it looks like she's turned away from the camera, her hair is in a bun or ponytail. Plus she looks real sized human "standing" next to the bench.

10. Look at the part that looks like her head...

If you see it just right, it looks like a Badger's face looking out towards you.

18. It's really just Old Man McElligot.

The illiterate nightwatchmen who's jealous and doesn't understand what the big deal about Edgar Allen Poe is.

5. That's too cool! That shows exactly how ghost stories and photos get started, especially

if you crop off the bushes so it's not so obvious that it's lights and shadows.

Great photo! :thumbsup:

13. I see a skull & cross bones.

Well, a skull. The type you might see on 18th century grave marker. Nice.
