Originally Posted By mansioncaribbean I know the picture was taken years ago, but still, that is freaky.

If this was done as a Halloween scare (perhaps shot around Halloween time?), or if it was just a prank to scare others. If it was the second, it would have been a very bad prank, but still. Well, they are just thoughts, after all. Mansioncaribbean
