Still creepy. Both the photographs themselves and imagining the guy setting up the shots.
I thought of this comeback too late for the original posts: did he find Lot’s wife there too?
Given that he posed the original shots, if he did, he should be under arrest … 
Okay, I think most of these have not already been posted, but perhaps I’ve missed them. This is just a few I’ve stumbled upon:

Creepiest thing my son ever said, illustrating the power of suggestion: once, when I was out in the woods for a walk with him and my wife, he suddenly turned and pointed appparently over my shoulder and said “hey, there’s a man hanging there!”.
We turned and looked … and my wife and I both saw a man’s body dangling in the leaves - for a moment.
Turns out my son was pointing to a picture of a little man on the t-shirt I was wearing “hanging” on my shoulder, that he’d not noticed before. When m wife and I looked more closely, the “hanging man” in the trees was … a bunch of leaves.
Hmm nobody’s posted this before? From White with Red - Creepypasta
A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at the desk gave him his key and told him that on the way to his room, there was a door with no number that was locked and no one was allowed in there. Especially no one should look inside the room, under any circumstances. So he followed the instructions of the woman at the front desk, going straight to his room, and going to bed.
The next night his curiosity would not leave him alone about the room with no number on the door. He walked down the hall to the door and tried the handle. Sure enough it was locked. He bent down and looked through the wide keyhole. Cold air passed through it, chilling his eye. What he saw was a hotel bedroom, like his, and in the corner was a woman whose skin was completely white. She was leaning her head against the wall, facing away from the door. He stared in confusion for a while. He almost knocked on the door, out of curiosity, but decided not to.
This disinclination saved his life. He crept away from the door and walked back to his room. The next day, he returned to the door and looked through the wide keyhole. This time, all he saw was redness. He couldn’t make anything out besides a distinct red color, unmoving. Perhaps the inhabitants of the room knew he was spying the night before, and had blocked the keyhole with something red.
At this point he decided to consult the woman at the front desk for more information. She sighed and said, “Did you look through the keyhole?” The man told her that he had and she said, “Well, I might as well tell you the story. A long time ago, a man murdered his wife in that room, and her ghost haunts it. But these people were not ordinary. They were white all over, except for their eyes, which were red.”
Hmm, I think I read a better version, but I can’t find it now.
It’s from the CreepyPasta wiki, which had been posted. I just noticed that I had posted the Horla earlier…

7 Minutes
Attaboy Meatros!
Just found this, could be interesting. 9 horror films, all embedded video in the page, each under 9 minutes in length. I’ve seen #9 before (Bedfellows) and it gives me the serious willies.
Update: I’ve watched the short movies linked above, and they’re all excellent. Most only last a couple or three minutes, really. A lot of the time shown is closing credits.
This happened a couple of months ago but I was waiting until it was closer to Halloween to post it.
We were having a slow day in the office, just a handful of us present. One of our colleagues from the office next door came across for a chat, I’ve always liked the guy (still do) and found him never less than friendly and polite.
Somehow the conversation got onto the subject of religion, unlike most of these debates it was civil and rationale, most of the people in the office were pro-religion, and it turns out he is an athiest (something I was unaware of but has no affect on my opinion of him either way), I was playing devils advocate and contributing on both sides of the debate as I saw fit. He was leaning against the back wall as the rest of us did some of our work and continued the conversation between times.
As it started to wind down I commented, “You know, I used to work with a man who used to be a priest, it would be interesting if he was involved in this debate”
“Ah yes, that would be interesting!”, I glanced up at the odd timbre in his voice, his head was tilted back, mouth open, teeth bared, and face twisted in a feral grin, eyes almost closed and a positively demonic look on his face, it only lasted a moment but long enough that I’m sure I wasn’t just imagining it. If this was a Hollywood movie there would be smoke drifting from his mouth and a red glow from his eyes but it was chilling enough without that.
The others weren’t paying attention to him so didn’t notice anything, I’m not sure if he realised I’d noticed or indeed cared that I did.
I was genuinely stunned and didn’t say anything, he cheerfully said his goodbyes and left.
It was utterly bizarre, he’s still the decent person he’s always been but I’m not sure what the hell that look on his face in the office or what it signifies. :eek:
Hopefully I’ll have some time later on this month to really do some digging - I know there were a few sites/stories that I stumbled across over the past few months that I wanted to add in this thread.
That said, I just noticed that this thread - The Creepy People - was not including in this link marathon…
Just ran across this story - all sorts of WTF and creepiness (and true, sadly):
Gym mat death shocker: Body stuffed with newspaper
Valdosta, Georgia (CNN) – The death of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was awful enough for his parents. Then came the doubts about investigators’ conclusion that it was an accident.
But the discovery that their son’s body and skull had been stuffed with newspaper before burial added a horrific new dimension to their anguish and further fueled their skepticism of the official findings.
“We have been let down again,” his father, Kenneth Johnson, told CNN. “When we buried Kendrick, we thought we were burying Kendrick, not half of Kendrick.”
Kendrick Johnson was found dead in a gym at Lowndes County High School in January. State medical examiners concluded that the three-sport athlete suffocated after getting stuck in a rolled-up gym mat while reaching for a sneaker.
Death was not accidental, family’s autopsy finds
His parents, Kenneth and Jacquelyn Johnson, never have bought that explanation. They won a court order to have their son’s body exhumed and a second autopsy performed in June.
During an autopsy, internal organs are removed and examined before being returned for burial. But when Dr. Bill Anderson, the private pathologist who conducted the second autopsy, opened up the teen’s remains, the brain, heart, lungs, liver and other viscera were missing. Every organ from the pelvis to the skull was gone.
“I’m not sure at this point who did not return the organs to the body,” Anderson said. “But I know when we got the body, the organs were not there.”
Two entities had custody of Kendrick Johnson’s body after his death – the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which conducted the first autopsy in January; and the Harrington Funeral Home in Valdosta, which handled the teen’s embalming and burial.
GBI spokeswoman Sherry Lang told CNN that after the autopsy, “the organs were placed in Johnson’s body, the body was closed, then the body was released to the funeral home.” That’s normal practice, Lang said.
The funeral home would not comment to CNN. But in a letter to the Johnsons’ attorney, funeral home owner Antonio Harrington said his firm never received the teen’s organs. Harrington wrote that the organs “were destroyed through natural process” due to the position of Kendrick Johnson’s body when he died, and “discarded by the prosector before the body was sent back to Valdosta.” A prosector dissects the body for pathological examination.
Scene points to foul play
Stuffing a body with old newsprint and department-store circulars – “like he was a garbage can,” as Jacquelyn Johnson put it – isn’t exactly standard practice in forensic pathology or the mortician’s trade. Vernie Fountain, the founder of a Missouri embalming school, called it “not consistent with the standards of care” in the industry. And Dr. Gregory Schmunk, the president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, told CNN, “I have never heard of this practice.”
Organs are typically placed in plastic bag, which is then put back into the body cavity after an autopsy, Schmunk told CNN in an e-mail. While individual organs may be kept back for further testing, he wrote, “This would not amount to all of the organs in any circumstance that I can imagine.”
Funeral homes are licensed by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, which has opened an investigation into how Johnson’s body was treated, said Jared Thomas, a spokesman for the agency.
Anderson, who was hired by the Johnson family for a second autopsy, found Kendrick Johnson had sustained a blow to the right side of his neck that was “consistent with inflicted injury.” Challenging the state autopsy’s finding of positional asphyxiation, he concluded the teen died as the result of “unexplained, apparent non-accidental, blunt force trauma.”
And death scene imagery obtained exclusively by CNN has led a former FBI agent to question how Johnson died: “I think this young man met with foul play,” said Harold Copus, now an Atlanta private investigator.
Lowndes County Sheriff Chris Prine refused to discuss the matter with CNN, calling Johnson’s death a closed case. The U.S. Justice Department announced in September that it wouldn’t open a civil rights investigation into the case.
But federal prosecutors in south Georgia have met with the family’s representatives and are weighing whether to open their own probe, said Michael Moore, the U.S. attorney whose district includes Valdosta.
“This is about getting to the facts and the truth, and we want the Johnson family and the community of Valdosta to have confidence in the process,” Moore said. “I am cognizant of time, and we continue to move the process along.”
Moore urged anyone with information about Johnson’s death to contact his office. Johnson’s parents have come to believe their son’s death was no accident, and the macabre discovery about their son’s body has only deepened that belief.
“It’s unbearable, just about,” Jacquelyn Johnson said. “The only thing that wakes you up in the morning is to just keep pushing.”
Uh, what? What does that even mean? “Yes, after some investigation it appears your son was casually reaching for one of his sneakers when a nearby gym mat became sentient and maliciously rolled up with the equivalent force of a hyena’s bite and suffocated the life out of him.”
I just found this - some badass and creepy pumpkin carving…
