This tomb was already opened. Pic was taken on an ancient cell phone years ago. You can see that some kind folks have left offerings to the occupant(s) of this destroyed tomb in New Orleans #nola #grave #tomb #burial #cemetery #eerie #taboo #explore #hidden #bsky #creepy
2 panel photo "infomatic" titled "Caveau". Photo is of the inside of a tomb in New Orleans that was already opened. It's a tubular brick structure with a rectangular concrete frame at ground level, and apparently a dirt floor. Various debris is seen inside, including bricks, stones, dirt, pieces of concrete and clay. Possibly a human long bone and skull cap, but these details are not clear in this photo. A few dollars and coins lie just inside the tomb on the right hand side, presumably an offering to the displaced spirit or spirits that once occupied this grave.

a photo of a replica of the old radio station WAJP in Joliet, IL. Sound dampening panels, dingy with age, line the walls. "Radio Lane's" sign adorns the back wall. A large turntable is directly in front of the camera, a telephone on a shelf to the left. A portable speaker hangs on the far wall, above a reel-to-reel. Tapes sit on a shelf above another turntable, and a tall cabinet stands in the far corner housing all sorts of the electrical and musical devices needed for broadcasting.

In the basement of my favorite Downtown Joliet #DoJo location. 1929 building, currently undergoing renovations and improvements. #nikon #photography #resist #urbex #explore #bsky #havefun #smellykelly #JustAnotherHotMess
Photo in a dingy basement. We are inside a room, a large metal door to the right is open inward. We cannot see out of the room. A rusted coal shovel rests upright against the gray steel firedoor. A rusted metal cabinet hangs on the wall to the left, the cabinet door is open exposing a shallow shelf with various unidentified objects resting on it. Lighting is from the right, outside of this room, providing deep shadows

The Illinois Rock & Roll Museum in Joliet is in its infancy. Progress was slowed by COVID and a tornado. But it has a lot of cool artifacts and information on the Illinois music scene and a lot of promise for what it can be. No one was there. Stop by. Make a donation... 1/

A photo of a chest of drawers, each drawer is open to varying degrees. It's in an old closet with built-in shelves, peeling green paint, and clearly abandoned. The drawers are wood, stained dark, but the sides of the dresser have been worn to their natural lighter color. A single metal drawer sits on a shelf next to the dresser, open about halfway, rusting and probably full of tetanus.

Photograph of a series of vertical lights, similar to a traffic signal. Red on top, amber in the middle, green on the bottom. Yellow paint is peeling to rust underneath. A distinct industrial vibe inside an obviously derelict and abandoned warehouse. A line of large windows, two row high offer diffuse lighting, complemented by the gaping holes in the ceiling, causing the puddles on the floor to shine.

Drive-in theaters always remind me of the movie The Outsiders! I need to get back to this location and see if I can get more information from this machine, like the full model number so I can make a more complete history of it. @hellaobscura.bsky.social @karaphilip.bsky.social #resist #bluesky
photograph of an old drive-in movie theater projector. It was found forgotten in storage at a derelict drive-in. It's an aqua colored Christie machine attached to an International Projector Corp Super Simplex projector, circa 1950s but I don't have the exact model/dates right now. It's in rundown condition, unlikely to be functional in its current state.

We made Ufological history. You’ve never heard this story before. I guarantee it. In Oakdale cemetery sits 2 gravestones with a bold claim. “Deceased had contacts and conversations with outer space life”. What’s the story behind these claims? We have the answer.

This week on the show, we interviewed documentarian Lance Johnson about a contactee case out of North Carolina. Jack Overby and his claimed experiences with "outer space life" represent some of the best high strangeness you've never heard of. Listen here: linktr.ee/wednesdaystalk

A vertically oriented image divided into 2 sections. The top is a closeup photograph of a Zebra Jumping Spider o a window frame on an exterior door. It's called a zebra because the adorable spider is striped alternately white then black. The spider is looking at the camera, evidently posing in the classic jumping spider pose. The bottom half of the image is text, describing some basic facts about jumping spiders. It ends with a request to not squish jumping spiders.

The haunt actor String Cheese poses at Days of the Dead in Chicago, 2024. She's in focus while the background is dimmer and unfocused. She has one black eye, and one white marble eye with blood streaking down her face. She holds a signpost, the sign reading Prison Area Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers in reference to the derelict Illinois State Prison - Joliet.

an infomatic type of image. The top is an eerie, spooky, even scary image of an empty wheelchair on a floor strewn with debris and glass in front of a double staircase in an old mental asylum. The image was taken with red lighting, so there's a distinct red or pink feel to it. The bottom half of the image gives a brief history of wheelchairs.

Mazzy as a puppy. Mazzy is part pitbull, part husky, part malamute and she is adorable. Mostly black, she has a white muzzle and tan eyebrows, and tan/white forearms. She is sitting in a very judging you kind of pose with her arm resting on a pillow or something.

Rumor is that the greatest art gallery in Illinois has joined #bluesky & everyone should follow them. I heard that it is this profile: @sassyartgirl.bsky.social @sassyartgirl.bsky.social have you heard this rumor? Can you confirm/deny that YOU are the Strange & Unusual Gallery in Joliet, IL??
Random toilet paper roll found in Joliet, Illinois on top of a utility box across the street from the Strange & Unusual Gallery. Slightly yellowed marks on the toilet paper evoke a vague dirty, handled feeling. #photography #art #gallery #artgallery #strange #unusual #hellaobscura #joliet #artists #support local #localart #localartists #new #trending #hot #resistance #resist #onelove
