The Skull Illusion Vintage Photo Archive

WARNING: THE PHOTOS IN THIS ARCHIVE CONTAIN (TASTEFUL) VINTAGE IMAGES OF DEAD PEOPLE
DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE OFFENDED

The photos in this gallery are what remains of my website The Skull Illusion, which I ran from 2010 until it was destroyed by hackers in 2014. Although the site itself has gone, it still exists as a popular Facebook page on which I and others post random, most slightly morbid, links and articles.

Salvaged from the wreckage of thousands of messed up files, there will be (probably many) duplicates and other errors – I’ve put them here so as not to lose them and will go through the images to sift out mistakes as soon as possible.

NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THESE IMAGES. THEY ARE MERELY COPIES OF PHOTOGRAPHS FLOATING AROUND THE INTERNET. NO COPYRIGHT VIOLATION IS INTENDED – THE SKULL ILLUSION IS/WAS MERELY A REPOSITORY FOR MEMENTO MORI AND POST MORTEM IMAGES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE DISAPPEARED INTO THE ETHER.

Click thumbnails for larger images. Information will be added to photographs as soon as I get chance.
