A dark image collage offset with Dark Ambient music from Anomalous Domain. http://www.reverbnation.com/anomalousdomain In Victorian days, families would take photos with recently deceased to preserve thier image. This is called Victorian Postmortem Photography. These images are very creepy.

  • Nationally, 50 per cent of all recorded deaths were of children aged five and under. Figures for Witheridge were somewhat better with 31 percent in the 1820. However, the children were at the mercy of diarrhoea, whooping cough, croup, smallpox and measles, with measles being a major killer at this time.

  • Victorian fad, popular for a while. When a loved one died, you would take a family portrait with them to remember them in the future. So yes. There are real dead people and live people in the photos. Super creepy. It is called Post Mortem Victorian Photography.

  • love the music >< Uhm, does that mean they're dead but they took a photo with the dead? or something o.o

  • @Chocolated910 Sometimes they would paint there eyelids to look like they were alive.

  • @annikee59 You have some old post-mortem photography?

  • 4:42 Who is the dead person?

  • Very sad that for some, this was the only photo ever taken. I still have some from my family.
