The Photograph



During one summer in the 1950s, a group of friends found an old abandoned house in the woods. They entered to see what they could find. Inside the house, a water hole was dug in the center of the room. Three of the boys decided to swim, while the other stayed dry and took pictures of the house with his camera.

Thirty some years later, in 1982, a man was hiking and found an old camera. He took it to the local police station to try and find out who it belonged to. The police got the film developed. Most of the photos had been destroyed, save for a few.

This picture is the last picture that was taken. It is unknown what happened to the boys’ faces or why the series of pictures abruptly ended. The kids have never been identified and their bodies were never found. What is happening in this image still remains a mystery.
