C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
Found a sweet camera in the woods. 56k die die die!
I am definately betting on something this week, I am the luckiest of lucky. (Ok, maybe not the luckiest, but it's still a sweet camera.) Last week I drove to a nearby town. The town is surrounded by tall hills and mountains, and you can have a very pleasant hike down any of the numerous trails there. Anyhoo, I was climbing one trail and enjoying the good weather when I saw what looked like a silver box. When I approached, I saw it was a digital camera. Score! It's a 3.3 mpixel powershot S20! Slightly scuffed, but otherwise fine. It rained the next day, so I was really lucky to get there when I did. When I got home, I also saw it had a 300 mb flash media card inside! This is like a 300 dollar value, (ish) I pity the fool who dropped it so carelessly. I hooked it up to my computer with the aid of a friend who has a similar model, and Canon, being the big company that it is, just happens to use the same USB cable for most of their cameras. Gotta love it. Anyway, just wanted to share. It also had some cool pictures of the large forest nearby one of the trails on it, and though I've never been in the area depicted, I have flown over the tower shown in one of the pictures.Those I'm putting those up in this thread, hence the warning to 56k users. Some of them are kind of blurry, but I felt like being thorough. (sp?) I don't have my own hosting, so I resized these and compressed them to avoid straining good ol' image shack. Some awesome shots, though I don't think the skill level of the photos coincides with the price/abilities of the camera. Aircraftkiller, you being our photos guru, care to comment? Thanks for wasting however many seconds of your life it took to read/look at all the pretty pictures. - Tar
Theres some reference for a DM map.
Wow, you lucky bastard. Many of those shots are quite excellent. I especially like the fifth one from the top, and the one where you have the perspective of an ant. I'm amazed at how you pulled off the photo where I really feel like I'm dizzy.
You could always send me that camera, I could use another one. I'll send you my own little present which is an Olympus 2.0 megapixel camera that can develop its own photographs when you insert a type of Polaroid film for it. Some of those images look beyond fucked up. I can almost feel evil in the air from looking at them, gives me a creepy feeling. It's almost like the camera owner was running from something. Why the fuck else would he leave a camera like that in a forest that looks spooky as hell?
Wow, that is extremely sharp and impressive. You seem to have some talent in taking pictures. Yes, everyone has or will have their lucky day.
I'm not exactly a great photographer, but if I see something I think looks interesting, I take a shot of it. And those my friend, are awesome. They remind me of something from a horror movie. Awesome pictures to go along with a creepy book. 2 thumbs up.
NO AK HELL STRP A BUMB ON IT KUZ HEZ ANNAYIN LOL Pictures are indeed wonderful, I wouldn't even give it to anyone else. Mind to tell us where this place is? It's quite insane, maybe I could stop nearby in a few years to take pictures on a foggy day like this one, it's just... Damn. I've been looking for that kind of quality for years now, you are a really lucky person.
Hey I dropped a camera exactly like that where'd ya find it again ? JOKE Lucky Git , Some nice snaps.
If you read what he wrote, he didn't take those pictures. They were in the camera.
So some of the snaps are still nice who ever the hell took them. :s
Are you sure there's no creepy guy with an axe on one of those pics? In that case you know why he dropped it.

It's almost like the camera owner was running from something. Why the fuck else would he leave a camera like that in a forest that looks spooky as hell? Hmm I had that same impression when I looked at them. Especially the ones with the motion blur on them. That forest looks creepy.
I think you're forgetting, this isnt a horror film
Jesus, there soo sweet.
Lucky mother fucker.... LOL. I think that building and forest would make a great Ren Alert DM map. I think I will try to make a counter-strike map out of it.
i think its safe to say this is all fake its like a blair whitch kinda theme.. guy goes into forest guy sees something guy runs and vanishes leaving the camera look closey at the pics in one picture he see's somthing and runs away
Holy shit. Take a look at the mirror on the left. There's something incredibly uncomfortable about those woods...great pictures, though.
WTF In the mirror. that guy is just stanfing there wearing nothing it looks like WTF is with these pictures, they're cool, but creepy. . .
Good lord, the closer you look at pictures, the scarier they get... There definitely is something/someone chasing him/her. I strongly urge tarsonis to call the police and show them the pictures.
I've just been taking some closer looks at these photos with some folks on IRC... and Jeeezus, some scary shots!
he/she probably got to gether with some friends and was doing a project for an art class and ended up dropping the camera on the way home on accident.
Umbral_DelaFlare Take a look at the mirror on the left. There's something incredibly uncomfortable about those woods...great pictures, though. I don't think that's a mirror, looks more like a painting to me, but that house it is in seems to be inverted maybe five times. Yes, I also recommend printing a couple of those pictures with the silhouette in it and showing them to the police, tarsonis. Now, my rationale for why this camera has the pics that it does is some kids were out making reference shots for a horror movie, reminiscent of the Blare Witch Project. However, I still think you should go to the police and tell them what you found, I bet those kids are probably aching to have their camera back. It was a lucky find, but something that expensive I think should be handed back.
Umbral_DelaFlare There definitely is something/someone chasing him/her. I strongly urge tarsonis to call the police and show them the pictures. *Cough* phtoshop *Cough*
No, those silhouettes blend in far too well to be photoshopped, and the whole line of pictures looks like someone snapping photos as they are running, possibly stopping at points to get a better shot, which makes me think of reference shoots for a horror movie, but I still think it should be turned in to the police, whoever lost that came is probably quite saddened.
Wow. That is quite disturbing. Looks like he came on some kind of weird building in the woods. If you ask me It looks a little TOO much like blair witch, I think someone may have been trying to recreate it for some fame. For some reason, it reminds me of Far Cry especially that pic of the weird building, you know the level where you are on the treetop thing and everyone below you is being killed in a fight with those trigent monsters
For those of you who hadn't noticed... Thats spooky stuff. It could have been photoshopped, but who would go out, take like 30 cool pictures, and then photoshop a zombie in some? And if they were reference pics for an amateur film, they wouldn't have taken pics while running, or with the camera at ground level. Also, the question of whether the first pic I reposted was a painting or something, who would have a painting in that shape, in the top of an observation tower, on the ceiling? I think its probably a mirror, though I can't really explain why that would be there either.
Hey....If you look closely....Does that kinda look like the same guy who keeps appearing in each shot? He looks like he has no shirt on and is wearing jeans. But yeah this is creepy. Reminds me of silent hill with all the fog and shadowy figures
Is that a Pentagram on the wall??? Ok I think someone just wanted to be famous....Or decided its time for blair witch 3
htmlgod Thats spooky stuff. It could have been photoshopped, but who would go out, take like 30 cool pictures, and then photoshop a zombie in some?

I think its probably a mirror, though I can't really explain why that would be there either. Reference pics could have been taken while running, as a note that the camera should be moving especially quickly in that scene. They could also be at ground level because it builds suspense, and the movie camera should be there, too. And if that mirror is on the ceiling, wouldn't it mean that the guy shown in the mirror would be lying face-down?
Isn't that the symbol for Anarchy? Its probably just random graffiti from like 5+ years ago, unrelated to the spooky zombie guy.
Nah wait your right. Whoever made it made it wrong. Pentagrams are inverted
Look in the bottom right window O.o Also look in the darkness to the left... You see something that looks like blue eyes shining?
Ok, I just noticed another... oddity, shall we say. At first it just looked like the photographer took a neat shot of a little pond or big puddle, but then I saw this like face/skull. And no, I don't think this is a reflection of the photographer.
Dammit, I wasn't scared of these pictures at all until all this talk about Blair witch and junk started... I thought the pictures were just cool, and how could they be photoshopped if they were on the flash card?
But that leaves out the possibility of tarsonis9 being the one who photoshopped them. And actually, you can put any images on the camera. So you could take pics, throw in a zombie guy (though not as well as is done here), put the modified pcis on the camera, and leave it somewhere. But that'd be a huge waste of money.
I saw this on another forum, all the pictures have weird creatures in the pictures, all photo shopped of course, I believe it was at something awful. But it is a good hoax.
lol, look on top of the tree there looks like a lil monkey thingy Those pictures make you think what happend to the person, and if there were pictures for a movie. Wouldnt they of had a better camera?
Did you see the little owl/cat guy? Lol.
Awww and I was having fun. Anyway showme the originial link to the photos I wanna see em all
http://xgn.netfirms.com/wtf.jpg in picture number 19? weird monkey thing?
Tell me where this was at, my next vacation ^_^ (I like going to places like that )
Idiots. The owner of the camera was obviously in Silent Hill. Now he's not. Now you're next. You have the camera.
Lol @ The Monkey guys
Tarsonis, where is that forest? Rather, was it the same forest as the one taken in the pictures?
It's near, like say, a couple of miles through kind of rugged terrain. I know of the building and tower shown in these, but I've never been there. Hiking trip, anyone?
More monkey guys, notice the bluw eyes could be a money guy (thats all the monkey things i could find)
Well, I meant more or less where abouts geographically.
^^^ Me too, i want to go there somday....
tarsonis9 It's near, like say, a couple of miles through kind of rugged terrain. I know of the building and tower shown in these, but I've never been there. Hiking trip, anyone? I'll come with my shotgun, MP5-Navy and Uzi's.
Hmmm.... tarsonis take a picture of something at your house with the camera you found and post it. I dont beleive your telling the truth.. Only one way to find out eh? (I would just like to know that these are fake picture and not real)
Hell yeah going there would be sweet. Be closest thing to Silent Hill I could get
WNxPunk I'll come with my shotgun, MP5-Navy and Uzi's. ^^ PLays too much CS
z310 WNxPunk I'll come with my shotgun, MP5-Navy and Uzi's. ^^ PLays too much CS Yep
OMG, I found a Ghost!
is the last picture show where the digital cam was? anyway neat stuff. Tarsonis does your city have some kind of old strange/scary/odd story (Ex: Blair witch)? btw i tried to see what was hiding in the dark. I really think its have been shopped then put back on the Digital cam for a joke but still i love those effect and creepy/freaky effect from these. Especialy those last one... make me think ALL the forest turned evil suddently. here my discover from the dark. Tell me what u think about it. I think its some roots that have been darkened.
HOLY SHIT!!!!! I just now noticed the guys in those awesome shots. He is lucky if he wasn't eaten or rapped after he picked up the camera. SCARED THE PISS OUTTA ME!!! I urge you to call the police.
hehe people noticed the monkeys.. things.. i thought they was actually bat like :S i did not notice these until i was bored and scanning the pictures
People, they're FAKE! I'll admit, it was a nice hoax, but it's FAKE. Here is my Proof: As you can see, there are a large ammount of pixels concentrated in that area. They are also concentrated in an almost perfectly rectangular space. It looks like someone just dumped them in there, and forgot to fine tune it.
YSLMuffins Dammit, I wasn't scared of these pictures at all until all this talk about Blair witch and junk started... I thought the pictures were just cool, and how could they be photoshopped if they were on the flash card? You know, you can put data on those cards...
And to think I started this by pointing out something in a picture... Anyway, it is likely that this was photoshopped, but whoever did it must be a guru at altering images, and even if (s)he was that good, it would take an enourmous amount of time to actually make it look that real.
Alot of these pictures would be extremly hard to spot, i cannot say myself that many of these can be faked very easily with photoshop. I have tried many filters , such as find edges, emboss, solerize, and many others, but every differnt tool seems to still pick up the shadows as if they are actually in the image.
Anyone ever think this could be a Halloween hike. We have things like that near where I live.
tooncy People, they're FAKE! I'll admit, it was a nice hoax, but it's FAKE. Here is my Proof: As you can see, there are a large ammount of pixels concentrated in that area. They are also concentrated in an almost perfectly rectangular space. It looks like someone just dumped them in there, and forgot to fine tune it. Even at that, the pixles could represent the body of the thing
scary shit, but its most likley a hoax, and I doubt someone would accidently leave an expensive digicam and not return for it
http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/news/s/76/76809_riddle_of_body_found_in_woods.html Given the presence of an old castle, I'm guessing it was in England or at least Europe... maybe it was this guy's camera.
Maybe the guy was scared to fuck and ran losing his camera? (Now back to work)
yeh that skull in the last one gives the game away The Monkey guys are great though.

You know, he said he shrank the images. I'd be interested in seeing the originals. I can find nothing in snopes about this being a copycat hoax, so that's good... how was the camera found? Was it placed neatly on a rock or log, or was it laying in the middle of a path?
OMG I didn't notice this before...

SuperFlyingEngi And if that mirror is on the ceiling, wouldn't it mean that the guy shown in the mirror would be lying face-down? It looks like that was the top of the tower, if that mirror/picture is a mirror it could be to show whats up there before the person gets al the way up. Tar, is that the order that the pictures were in the camera? Maybe theres a story line.
I want to see a picture of his camera. That he found.
z310 ^^ The exact same pictures? lol http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=70295 Exact pictures and text.
The guy who put these together... well done. This will become an internet legend in about 1 week.
Umbral_DelaFlare omg ahh lolzs
Indeed he will, found this on the Something Awful forums, they're having fun spreading it around, so I figured I'd share the goodness. I edited the text a little bit to suit my needs, otherwise, you've been had! The OP of this there still hasn't replied to his original post....
Crimson The guy who put these together... well done. This will become an internet legend in about 1 week. JUST LIKE GOAT.CX!!!
AircraftKiller should make a map for Renegade like that, it would be really cool . . . Those shots are very cool, even though they are photoshopped . . .
jester718 shit, he had us goin didn he heh had you going :/ saw right thru it instantly
By the way, these pictures were taking near Woodstock in upstate New York in the Catskills. The building was supposed to be a hotel but it was never finished and burned down, leaving only the concrete walls.
I wish there were places like that around here. I'd love to go around and explore those kind of sites. By the way, this is my favorite website of all time, this guy goes through abandonded places (factories, hospitals, whatever), posts pictures. Many of them are said to be haunted. Here's the page I like viewing the most off of the site: http://www.forgottenoh.com/abandoned.html
Crimson By the way, these pictures were taking near Woodstock in That explains where all the smoke comes from.
I live in ohio. There is shit like that all over. Directly behind my house is a huge area of woods. There are a few burnt down houses and other stuff back there. They have been desecated like the building in those pictures. Alot of the buildings are small houses and little shacks. I have no clue how long they have been there but by my estimate pretty old. Walking through them at night is pretty creepy , Even with one of those huge water proof flash lights (the huge batterys). Ive never seen anything or anyone else down there besides woodland creatures. ( Deer , Skunks , Racoons ect..) I guess Ohio doesnt suck that much. I have seen stuff like this: http://www.forgottenoh.com/OldXenia/oldx10.jpg I se more of not abandoned buildings but more burned down buildings in the middle of no where.
tarsonis9 Don't lie... Majiin Vegeta Umbral_DelaFlare There definitely is something/someone chasing him/her. I strongly urge tarsonis to call the police and show them the pictures. *Cough* phtoshop *Cough* On a side note: why don't you take your own advise?
12:41 AM, and these are scaring me like shit, bed time.
EXdeath7 I have seen stuff like this: http://www.forgottenoh.com/OldXenia/oldx10.jpg Just in case you didn't know, those are honeybee hives
Err wrong link... it was suppose to be a torn up house... (When I saw them earlier I thought they were dressers LOL)
I was able (with the help of FAGMO-VISION) to reveal the secret of two of the pictures as shown below:
icedog90 12:41 AM, and these are scaring me like shit, bed time. 2:30 AM, and these were also scaring me like shit.
I finally figured out those misterious men in those pictures!!!! THEY'RE CLAY MODELS OF MEN STANDING IN THE SPACE WHERE THE CAMERA MAN'S FRIEND OR THE CAMERA MAN PUT IT!!!
