Sepia Saturday - Misunderstood Photographs

Less than perfect, you say. Well, you KNOW there's more to it than that. Camera mistakes? Photographer errors? Who's to say that a photograph isn't really revealing some things that we just didn't realize were there?

LOST GALLERY has a category called "Area 51 and a half." It's for those eerie photographs that show us things we didn't expect or maybe just can't explain. So we don't know what the photograph is about, does that mean it's a bad picture? Of course not; It's just misunderstood.

Here are a few samples of the mysterious snapshots from
Area 51 and a half,
plus an occasional UFO (Unidentified Film Object) just to make sure your imagination is working...

She never saw them coming so she had no time to be afraid. It was the experiments that haunted her nightmares.

The car car

Don't look too closely. Move on.

No longer available.
Nothing for you to see here.

From the wrist camera.

Two views of ... it.

It was the last thing he saw.
And then he just disappeared.

He didn't know what it was, but he couldn't forget it.

This is all that was left after, well, you know.

I swear she was standing right there
and then she was just ... gone.

Walk toward the light ...

When Greta came to her senses she tried to pull herself together. Then the realization set in...

And then he lost consciousness.

Slowly his vision returned. Where was his Teddy?

No one knows how they got in.

They were just there at the foot of his bed when he woke.

He tried to focus on their faces but they kept fading away. It was like those movements that you see on the edge of your vision, but when you turn, there's nothing there.

Now, they were right in front of him but when he tried to focus on them, they were gone. But still there.

Stay in the shadows, avoid the light. You can make it on back to SEPIA SATURDAY home page without being seen...or photographed. It is time to make contact with the others...
