More Amityville

I found some crime scene photos of the Amityville muders perpetrated by Butch DeFeo. None of them are particularly graphic, but viewer discretion is advised. Click to enlarge.

I feel a real sense of tragedy when I see these pictures. It's hard to believe that someone could kill their entire family in cold blood. What could possibly drive someone to that? The only thing I can believe is insanity.

I still wonder about a few facts of this case. How did none of the family awaken to the gunshots? the DeFeo home wasn't very large, and the bedrooms were right next to each other. Is it possible they were drugged beforehand? I'll do more research and find the explanation the investigators came to, if they even have an explanation.

Lizzie Borden Murders

The "Lizzie Borden" murders took place in Fall River, Massachusetts in early August of 1892. Lizzie Borden is believed to have brutally killed her father and stepmother, Andrew and Abby Borden, with multiple hatchet-blows to their heads. A few pictures (click to resize):

The head of the hatchet used to kill Andrew and Abby Borden.

The scene of Andrew Borden's death. It's believed he was taking a nap when he was murdered.

A pretty low-quality photo of Abby Borden's state after being slain.

Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the crime, but the evidence points to her responsibility. She died in 1927 at the age of 67, but her ghost is still said to haunt the house where her grisly crime took place.

More Classic Ghost Images

Here are some more classic ghost images you've probably seen around the web or in books:

This photo was taken in the late 40s in Australia. A woman only known as Mrs. Andrews visited her daughter's grave and took this photo. When it was developed, the clear image of a ghostly infant was visible. What is especially odd is that Mrs. Andrews's daughter died at 17. A researcher visited the site later and found the graves of two infant girls nearby, and assumed the ghostly child must be one of them.

This photo was taken at the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, and shows what many believe to be the ghost of a former slave known as "Chloe." Read her story here.

Newby Church in North Yorkshire, England has no known history of hauntings, besides this photo taken in 1963 by Reverend Lord. Skeptics say it's a fake, just a double exposure, but photo experts who've examined it say that's not the case. It remains a mystery who this apparition might be.

More Borley Rectory

Always an interesting topic, I've found more creepy photographs of Borley Rectory. Some of them can be enlarged.

Borley Rectory

I'm back from my little vacation, and here's a few creepy pics of Borley Rectory, one of the most haunted places in England.

When writing was discovered on the walls of the Rectory, a researcher started to write replies asking for more information, and more strange scribbles and writings appeared.

Classic Ghost Photos

Here are some classic ghost photos. Click to enlarge.

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, and probably the most popular ghost photo. It was also one of the first.

This pic photo was taken in a church, and no one was standing in or moving through the area when it was taken.

A photo taken in Eastry Church in Kent in 1956. There was no one in the pew at the time.

 I guess ghosts like to party, too.

 This photo was taken in a cemetary. Nobody was sitting on that bench when the photo was taken. This is one of the sadder ghost photos I've ever seen. Is it the ghost of someone buried there? Or are they waiting for someone to arrive?
