Some historical photos can't be explained. The more we look at them, the more disturbing and unexplainable they become. There's something so eerie about these beautiful photos, and it only takes a closer look to unveil the truth.
You won't find these rare historical photos in books or museums. Our ancestors had done an excellent job at hiding the hard-to-swallow past from us.
We've collected a rare collection of the most chilling historical photos ever that will send shivers down your spine. Please beware that some of the images in this gallery are for mature audiences only.
Are you ready to take a deep dive into these bone-chilling photos from the past?

Long list of photos.
On this one she wrote things like:
Like I said, I love these silly things and am a sucker for them, but the commentary is bizarre to me.
And thanks for posting them. I love looking at them, but sometimes the descriptions are enough to keep from actually doing that! (That, and the fear of getting some kind of malware!)
I have a cousin that can’t understand my distaste for California. She went to LA twice on vacation, at least 10 years ago, and loved it. I told her as a truck driver I saw the real LA, not the Hollywood/Rodeo Drive glitz and glamour that she loved so much.
She wouldn’t believe that all of LA wasn’t like the rich safe part.
Willfully blind.
www.shorpy.com is a great place to peruse interesting old photos without the click bait and annoying commentary.
Wow, just wow.
Gladys Elvis looks like Rosie O’Donnell in that first picture.
Cesar Romero did his own makeup. That’s a real Thespian there.
Jack Nicholson chatting with Dennis Hopper and he is as high as the moon. Dennis is trying to keep it straight.
Family dinner in 1959, that roast and veggies looks a lot like the ones I still serve to my family. Good food is still good food.
Bennie Hill and the secret of his success, OUZO.
Thank you-as I said, I am an absolute sucker for those kinds of things!
I also love the remastered old films of “Paris in 1897” and things like that, where they adjust the speed, contrast, even adding color and sound. I watch them whenever someone posts them.
Fascinating stuff.
my guess - the writer is trying to use english but it’s not their first language? or they used some sort of translator to get their wording?
they can use words but many times don’t understand their meanings (especially a few words together) so the end result is awkward or misleading or incomplete. As you said, just weird.
sorry i clicked - the about page bios explain a lot.
"Gladys Elvis looks like Rosie O’Donnell in that first picture.
Yeah, she's a dead ringer for Rosie O'Donnell.. Scary it is.!
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and always enjoyed going to SF, but this one I never got to enjoy - the old elegant Cliff House.
To the right out of view of this photo was where the now torn-down Playland-At-The-Beach was. Cool place and a shame they tore it down.
Water's freezing cold but surfers love it there. Strong undertow.
The stats with the Star Wars costume kids about how many were killed or burned by flammable materials seem a little ridiculous.
Young people overuse adjectives
Cringeworthy is a favorite word of any pasty ink covered hipster lass and her fag boyfriend
Funny...it is one of those silly, insignificant things that bug me! I figure it is a formula used by these people who make things they want surfers to click on, but it irritates me.
That is a “First World Problem” if ever there was one.
This one also has actor steve McQueen pics confused with black British filmmaker steve McQueen bio
Who knew papillon was half Grenada. And half Trinidadian
Lol
Coulda fooled me
McQueen sure exuded Midwest roots to me
Heck, most of us overuse them at some point, but if we are lucky, we come to see it after a while without someone telling us.
I was lucky. When I was younger, I used to use the word “like” a lot, and also “um” and “uh” when I spoke.
I had an elderly gentleman who I greatly respected politely and somewhat gently point those speech tics out to me, and when I listened to myself speak, I was somewhat chagrined to realize how right he was. He did it in such a way that he acknowledged I had a grasp of ideas that I wished to convey, but the unconscious use of them in the quantity I did had a negative effect on the listener.
I got to the point I could barely utter a sentence without pausing in mid-sentence because I could hear “like”, “uh” and “um” on my tongue getting ready to escape. I wasn’t speaking like a damn valley girl, but...that it was even there bothered me.
I owe a debt of gratitude to that good man, and though he is no longer alive, I think of him often. He did me a great service.
Steve McQueen was an interesting character, no doubt.
Loved his love of cars!
Neato. Thanks.
Looks like Bill Clinton.
Doesn't look like Hillary Clinton.
