Lay Your Ghosts to Rest

Today's "family outing" was a trip to a mortuary at a local funeral parlour...because we have an inside contact. I couldn't resist putting a ghostly figure in the fridge courtesy of a brief double exposure. Fascinating place to visit and not at all gruesome.
Ok....what won't you do for a cool image? SO cool

Very cool. Who's that third person?
June 29th, 2014  
Umm thats pretty creepy....lol. I noticed the "cadaverous" head rest... I like the grain and the double exposure, adds to the whole effect

Wonderfully spooky, Graeme. Great shot.

I used to think funeral parlours would be very frightening.........however this all changed when I had to organise Mum's funeral. In fact I found it all to be quite appealing and not at all scary! Lovely capture(s) of yourself :)

Fantastic ghost shot and the idea of a family outing to a mortuary is hilarious. Where next week? The abbatoir perhaps?

@andy3168 Thanks very much - it was great morning out
@dougapic Thanks very much
@denisefuller Thanks - we're full of "interesting" ideas in this house hold...
@dh Thanks very much - we didn't take a picnic, but maybe to the abbatoir...might even take a BBQ

June 30th, 2014  
Very cool!
June 30th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa thank you :)
June 30th, 2014  
Gives me the shivers!! I'd be ok as long as I wasn't there alone late at night!
July 1st, 2014  
@harbie Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad...but I know what you mean
July 1st, 2014  
Awesome effect. Well done!
July 1st, 2014  
Double creepy...on second thought, triple creepy, two ghosts and a mortuary. Oddly what I think bothers me the most is not the ( well done ) ghost images but those clips at the top of the tables, to hold the necks of the bodies I'm assuming...gives me the shivers.

July 1st, 2014
