Let the spookifying begin!

Meet Cleo

elven · 21-01-2007 8:02pm

My only halfway spooky image - best after considering the title "Bone Work"...

(thanks Roen!)

Xios · 21-01-2007 9:58pm

Maybe this one for me

Or perhaps this one, but it's hard to make out.

DeVore · 21-01-2007 10:28pm

Love them.... really wish I could have made this trip. I'm promising myself I wont miss the next roadtrip. (there is going to be one, right!?!)

Love the cat in the OP and Elven's is beyond disturbing. Xios, any chance you could link the original of the castle one as I fancy having a shot at photoshopping it (if I get a chance and with your permission). It looks like it has a lot of potential for mucking about with!

DeVore · 21-01-2007 10:30pm

ps: I have this vision of Fenster running back and forth with the cat meowling in his hands, putting it back at the start and rushing back to get the shot, over and over... lol!

You really should have seen Fenster and the cat!! Ah! A great name for a film me thinks.

Fenster · 21-01-2007 11:24pm

I love cats and they love my body heat :[

Sebzy · 22-01-2007 12:38am

Boo !!!!!!!!!!
Just out of the camera no editing apart from resize.

Sebzy · 22-01-2007 12:39am

Never thought I would get a one armed legless spirit.

Sebzy · 22-01-2007 12:53am

Now this spooks the sh$t out of me all together. Again unedited straight out of the camera.

Just keep thinking it's a banshee circling the statue.

Fenster · 22-01-2007 1:30am

That statue freaked me out no end as I kept thinking it was a child, especially because of where it was placed.

Covey · 22-01-2007 1:34am

Erm , what type and amount of liquid was consumed ??

Fenster · 22-01-2007 1:44am

I don't drink.

Although my remarkable lack of coordination had me slipping, falling down stairs and generally knocking things over, fie.

sineadw · 22-01-2007 9:28am

It was just a very spooky place. Hey I read yesterday that they buried people alive on the site f the place during the bubonic plague, to try to stop its spread. Just dumped the bodies into a pit without checking who was already gone or not. Anyone know if there's even a grain of truth in that? Just curious.

I have to get back and comment on all the amazing shots everyone's posted. Bloody work!

mdebets · 02-02-2007 12:09am

I got 2 ghosts in one. shot. It took a little bit longer with the processing, but I needed an exorcism, to get ride of them on my PC

Sebzy · 02-02-2007 11:57am

Remember the competition for the Dynax 404 with lens and film
this sunday will be the last date for entries.

Just attach your shots to this thread.

Will send the link off to the castle monday morning.

Seb.

leinsterman · 02-02-2007 7:51pm

Welll ... I don't expect any prizes for this obvious one, but I'll give it a whirl ... and I do like the unexpected cat bottom left -

I think this one is spookier, that horse really freaked me out -

Fionn · 02-02-2007 9:25pm

this is my spooky shot, while it probably doesn't look very chilling - when i was looking in here i just didn't like it at all - something was nagging at me to get away from here :eek:

Black Mass anyone??

Erm.. well the whole skull in the wall would do that to you, yes. Was that the flooded dungeon place? (makes 'well duh' noises at oneself..)..I missed that whole altar thing. Not sure how. Funnily enough it was up the corridor at the toilets beside the kitchen that I got creeped out. Was that just me?

Well what weirded me out was the one toilet that had the door closed, didn't check if it was locked, but it was closed the whole night. A ghost taking a really long crap i presume.

Sebzy · 05-02-2007 9:39am

Ok thats it no more
Sending link to castle now.

Seb.

Fajitas! · 05-02-2007 10:31am

My laptop died.

Sebzy · 05-02-2007 10:35am

Sorry to hear that nut it's already in the hands of the castle.

Fajitas! · 05-02-2007 10:36am

Ah I know!

My own fault for not sending it in earlier!

It's a lot less scary if you manage to get up closer and actually touch the thing and feel what it's made out of.

Hello, Terri from Charleville here - I'm just using and abusing Smiley's account as it logged him in automatically from his computer.

The Winner of the most spookifying photo of Charleville Castle goes to......

FENSTER

simply because he managed to capture the essence of pure evillllness terrorized and superstitious locals have been known to call

'CLEO'

trust me - the statues and dungeon altars have nothing on this merciless mass of meaow - as soon as you pet it - it stalks you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever (so on and so forth) on its ultimate quest to sit on your head.

congratulations Fenster, you are now the proud owner of a Dynax 404 with lens and film as if you need any more photo equipment. Well there's always EBay!

monkeyfudge · 16-02-2007 4:28pm

Well done Fenster!

Valentia · 16-02-2007 4:55pm

Well done Mark. Fair play!!

Sebzy · 16-02-2007 5:06pm

Right so Fenster will you be up this weekend? if so I shall have said object with me for collection.

Seb.

GristlyEnd · 16-02-2007 5:33pm

Congratulations Fenster!

Fajitas! · 16-02-2007 6:29pm

Gratz Mark!

Fenster · 16-02-2007 9:34pm

Ah jeeze, I'm blushing.

I'll be up on Sunday, Seb, although I don't know how long I'll have the camera as Mariah has already claimed it, heh.

He will only be able if I let him, he has to get it out of the car and get to the boot without me driving off. Mark, if you hear the car revving as you get out dont be surprised to see the smoke..........

Well done matey!!!
