I thought the oldest weirdly bizarre photos (err, paintings) were the Fayum mummy portraits. I have also read the book "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" which contained weird photographs of peculiar people from another age (most of them were extraordinary, some were plain weird). The website you shared is, by far, the weirdest. Freaked me a bit.
Interesting compilation. I am not quite that old but did a lot of ferricyanide reduction, "blocking-out" of negatives and scissors-and- paint manipulation in pre-digital days, and my father took a lot of headless snapshots of the family ..... He never did manage to master that half-inch reflex viewfinder on his Box Brownie.
LOL they gave me a giggle... particularly like the one with the red smeared on it to look like blood.
I'm thinking that it was popular because someone was playing around one day and learnt something new and it went from there.... the first one you can see the cut line.
