Abagail

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 27 October 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Abagail's tombstone. In a churchyard cemetery, Cape Cod. I don't know who she was, but I do know she's buried there. Or is she? Bwahahahahahaaa!

It's Halloween week, and what better place to continue a deliciously creepy series than at an old graveyard?

@tyan: Can't have a good creep-show without a visit to somebody's graveyard...

Betty from New Jersey, United States

Definitely creepy! Your processing is wonderful! Interesting that she died in October...

@Betty: Yes, that would be October, 1857; that date wasn't planned, but it fits nicely for the series, dontcha think?

Good morning to you and Bella from The Left Coast. The MJ critters send their love, a woof and a meow to Bella.

Wish I had thought of this graveyard thing for Halloween! I have a bazillion shots that I took for a historical researcher here that could have used :) But I have already filled up mu aminus3 que for the week and I'm too laze to change now. Nice work, and i hope Abigail is having a nice day ... wherever she is :)

Cool image.

Better watch out Glenn, she'll haunt you...! Nice scary shot.. thanks.

@Observing: Hahaha. Be sure to tune in later in the week, just a couple of days and see.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

Powerful shot. What is that dubious looking white blob in the background? Looks like it came out of the ground, and in skirt? I am running. :))

27 Oct 2008 4:21pm

@Howard F.: Hahaha. I think it might be Casper. But no, depending on which one, it's either another tombstone or a flag.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

great shot and processing - lots of spooking feelings from this one. Well done.....

Shirin Moosavi from Tehran, Iran

Going to graveyards together with friends would be much more creepy! They would try to scare the hell out of the others! :D
I love the high contrast of this shot. It looks perfect in BW. Great shot :)

I love the exposure used here. I like finding headstones that speak of a life a long time ago, as in this example. Every year in our community we have a cemetery walk where the prominent dead come alive and a re-enacted in the roles or jobs they had. Makes it interesting.

Thanks uncle VF for your caring words at my blog,i copied my reply here for your convenience:)

Thanks a lot,Uncle VF for your concern,it was a long weekend over here because of a public holiday on Monday and hub could help around.I am definitely better now:)the months of sept and oct had been terrible for us because of hub's army training..hopefully we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! It is school hols here and the big kids are out.Hub still has to work then have a long break in mid nov.fingers crossed.:)
but what u said at the end struck me a lot,after making a martyr of myselfall the time,i felt like i no longer know how to receive.Can be very irritating to those who wants to give but i wouldnt receive.
