For some reason, most old pics look creepy to me. Maybe it’s just me but I think most old-school black and white photos tend to give off a stoic vibe. It’s like going back in time or something.
Old School Creepy is an online group that’s dedicated to the creepiest pictures taken throughout history. People submit creepy pictures they’ve come across and some of them are pretty chilling.
Now I can’t help but wonder what pics that were taken on an iPhone today are gonna look like in 50 years.
