A Collection Of Vintage Nightmares Called Haunted Air

Musician Ossian Brown, formerly of the group Coil, has released a book called Haunted Air which showcases his collection of creepy photos dating from 1875 to 1955.

I'd like to believe that all of these photos were taken around Halloween, but some of them seem to indicate that the subjects are dressed up for another form of ritual entirely, one that most likely involves the invoking of dark spirits and some sort of sacrifice... *shiver*
