Totally Frightening Pictures That You Should Only Look At During the Daytime

Creepy Image Taken While Visiting “The Rock”

A British couple, Sheila Walsh and her boyfriend, were visiting the Alcatraz (AKA “the rock”), taking an audio tour. Sheila snapped a photo of the empty visitation block window. It wasn’t until she looked at the photo on her iPhone that she noticed the figure of a woman, dressed in what looked to be 1930s or 40s clothing. Comparison shots in the video show that the image in the window was not Sheila’s, or anyone visible’s, reflection.

Tar And Feather Victim

In case any of you ever wondered, this is what a victim of a tarring and feathering looked like. It was a terrifying form of public humiliation. After the victim is stripped down to his waist, the mob proceeds to paint the victim with pine tar (which does not burn) then pitches feathers or forces the victim to roll in the feathers until they stick. As a final indignity, the mob chases/parades the victim through the streets.
