creepy house

I've been to this derelict house once before and a crow flew out of a broken window - I couldn't get away quickly enough. It has this horrible santa-ish head coming out of the chimney. It just freaks me. I processed it to give it a dirtier feel as it was a sunny day

Do the curtains ever twitch....... ;-)

[Ingrid Budge]

@gailmmeek Ewww! This was as close as I could get I'd scream if anything moved. Must find out more about it

[Jason Daniels]

yup, that's creepy alright.

[Lisa]

made me jump!

[Anne]

well i never .... em .... it's a bit crazy!!!!

[lindseyingphoto]

OMG

[Jan Penny]

Oh yes, that it creepy. The processing really brings it out. Great shot even though it makes me shudder!

[Dave Vaughan]

Yes, it sure looks creepy.

[Jackie greenfield]

you would have got some good shots inside !

[Deni]

Yep this is a creepy house, hope the owners aren't still inside, what's with that Santa head? Well weird....

[Ingrid Budge]

@denidouble I really don't know what's with that awful head yeuk!

[Ingrid Budge]

@jacjacs68 Not a chance!!

[Amy Spada]

mmm... really creepy. The processing does give it an even creepier feel too.

[Rik]

Nice shot. That head is so creepy

[Sheila G]

This is creepy and the processing adds to the scary feel. Must look out for it!

[mizhayz]

Yeah, the santa head would have me walking away rather swiftly.. but you managed your shot and the processing is great!!

[Ingrid Budge]

@mizhayz Believe me I didn't stay long, my daughter was in the car and stayed put!

[Dave Schofield]

man that head is pretty terrifying.

[Ingrid Budge]

@aspada Thanks Amy, sunny blue skies didn't do this justice

[Ingrid Budge]

@sheilag On the road before you get to the 'Hope, Claire will see it every day !!

[John]

It is

[Sheila G]

@ingrid2101 I'll ask Clare about it...she will have noticed it for sure!

[Julie]

The crow doesn't bother me so much but that freaky santa thing...EEK!

[Margie]

This is one for the album! Ha, well creepy

[Sean O'Neill]

"When Santa got stuck up the chimney, he began to shout......."

[Lisa]

Wow - this is SO creepy Ingrid! That head coming from the chimney is the stuff of nightmares! Great processing - really adds to the atmosphere of creepiness. : )

Glad it had the desired effect! I am going to find out some of the history here as it doesn't have a good "vibe". Most derelict buildings i will quite happily walk about in.. not this one

[George]

@ingrid2101 yeah this is creepy! You seem to be drawn to the derelict?! no offence meant by that :)

[Wendy]

Oh my, this is disturbing in the best possible way, and your processing has effectively upped the creepy factor!

[Ingrid Budge]

@gwhit123 None taken!! I hated shiny and new even as a kid, especially shoes. Used them as "brakes" on my push bike to wear them in!

[Ingrid Budge]

@wendyhgill Thanks Wendy, the blue sunny skies didn't have the creepy factor

[Gloria]

This is the perfect combination of creepy and awesomeness

[Carla]

omg this is creepy as heck -- love it!

[Mel]

This really is out of a horror film? Are you sure that's Santa? He looks way more terrifying than usual, and to be honest I generally find him a kind of creepy guy. Great shot, really atmospheric, even without thinking of crows flying forth!

[Kristie Galloway]

Good creepy shot!

[Annick]

This is bizarre!!!

[Kate Goring]

Yikes, it does look pretty creepy. Wonderful photo.

[Lisa Stein]

Powerful image! It does feel creepy. Nice processing, too.

[Endre Majoros]

Huh, that really looks creepy, especially in large... nice processing!

[James Hislop]

Excellent finish - it really does feel very creepy indeed.

[Ingrid Budge]

@roadshow @vase @spankyjane @kmgally @annick @masosy @pflaume @endrem @jameshislop Thanks for all the comments, wondering how creepy this would be with a long exposure at night.

[April Milani]

Wow this is a nightmare come to life. I wonder what the inside looks like. When I look at the window I feel like Im beeing watched.

[Ingrid Budge]

@aprilmilani Honestly I couldn't go closer, I'm normally go for it but even on a beautiful sunny day I wanted to get away and I did feel like I was being watched

[Corine Wernsen]

Looks creepy indeed!

[Richard Goodger]

that is well freaky, and that santa head is nasty!, well done for grabbing the shot. even from the photo it has a feeling of malice.

[Jackie greenfield]

@ingrid2101 Lol. No me neither !!

[Michael]

Great picture of a surreal scene...

[AutomaticSlim]

Deeply creepy, would be interesting to find out more.

[Andreas]

Oh my, that was freaky. Love it. Fav

[Justina]

This is so awesome !

[Ingrid Budge]

@cbawernsen @rg37 @studiombkcom @automaticslim @primitiveprobe @justinuole Thanks for your comments - glad everyone agreed it was creepy!!
