Scary find in new house!

[TheyCallMeBruce]

My friend recently moved into a his new house. The house isn't exactly new (more like 30 years old), but seems the old owners had neglected to move out certain items...namely a photo book.

My friend discovered this photo book while cleaning out the basement.

Now, for those of you that have seen "The Others" you'll know what I'm talking about. This isn't a typical photo book with happy children smiling and adults acting cool after a few drinks. This photo book houses a different set of pictures...the dearly departed kind.

There are pictures there from what seem like the early 50s to the early 90s. Must have been close to a couple of dozen pictures in it. Most of it are pictures of the dead in the coffin, though the older ones had them in beds.

My friend has contacted the previous owners of the house, but they are not claiming ownership to the book. Creepy...

Understandably, my friend is creeped out. Hell, I'm creeped out.

What do you think my friend should do? Throw it out? Keep it? I'm advising him to throw it away.

I would advise him to move and leave the book where he found it.

I would throw it out.

I would contact the old owners and make sure its not something they want.

He did that according to the first post...

Burn it and see if it makes screaming noises.

Clearly the correct thing to do is sell it on E-Bay.

Oops missed that.

In that case I think he should leave it laying around his living room to freak out guests. And when someone asks about it and why he has it he can provide a mysterious response like

"Oh that book...we don't talk about that book.".

Make it their coffee table book! Watch and laugh hysterically as guests flip through the album in horror!

Get a kerosene latern and kick it over the next time just before he goes out for the evening. Make sure all ureplaceable things conveniently were taken to his folks for Sunday dinner the previous week and left there.

Use the photos for Christmas cards.

Ditto. I bet people would pay decent money... invent a cool backstory and make yourself a hundred bucks.

[metallicat]

Dead people in beds? Not so sure my first move would have been to contact the previous owners.

[ken0042]

Oh man. I SOOOOO know what I'm going to leave behind when the time comes to sell my current house.

Muhahahaha!

I say burn in and dance around naked while conjuring up the unholy spirits of the night.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

LOL, I like the Ebay idea. I'll run that one by him.

Looks like there's a total of 26 pictures in the book of 8 deceased. Of the 8, 5 are old, 2 look pretty young (in the 20s maybe), and 1 child.

Well Halloween is just over a month away, and you know what you could give 1 troublemaker as a treat...........

[kobafett]

Your friend needs to say these three words exactly before burning it. Clatto Verata N....Nickle, Necktie I know it's a N word.

Nevermind just take it too a scrapbook store and ask for some help with your scrapbook.

Thank you Photon and Cowperson for the awkward case of giggles at work.
