Halloween is coming up, and I thought of a few photos I have that are a little . . . off.

Bailly Homestead at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore doesn’t look welcoming even in broad daylight when seen through the Hipstamatic Bucktown filter.

This is the Pepperland in Hyde Park, a Victorian-style apartment building popular with University of Chicago students. It could be haunted.

Old Hickory in Coudersport, Pennsylvania, has seen better days. It’s said that Eliot Ness was a guest. It could be haunted if it weren’t for the pigeons that have taken over.

Near the Bailly Homestead, Chellberg Farm is more forbidding when the trees aren’t in leaf.

This cemetery in Force, Pennsylvania, and the weird lighting and shadows caught my eye.

I don’t know which is worse — the tree or its reflection.

Excellent paint job at Fullersburg Woods.

Long-abandoned hotel in Gary, Indiana.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was a ghost at the Bailly Cemetery at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. It’s only me. Paler than usual.
