After the fourth or fifth take, the Photographer smashing his Camera, busting the Tripod over his knee, walking off muttering something about "standing still just for three lousy seconds".

I wonder where this was shot. I grew up in New Baltimore and have family going back over a hundred years there. Nearly all of the old woods are gone now. I wonder if these ladies were relatives. It would be nice to think so.

[The Firs was the home of the Hatheway family. There was a large house and a barn. The New Baltimore Historical Society puts it at the corner of Washington and Cemetery roads. - Dave]

I didn't even notice the ladies at first! Sppppppooooooooky.

This is probably the scariest picture I have seen yet on Shorpy!

When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
(I say, could either of you lovelies spare a little eye of newt?)

The face of the woman on the far right suggests that she recently viewed the "Ring" film clip. It's a good thing televisions weren't around back then, or she might be receiving an unwanted visit from an entity crawling out of a well.

An appropriate photo to post the day before Halloween. "Walk toward the light."

This looks like it could be a scene from a Hitchcock movie.

You're not trapping me in your haunted parallel dimension, ghost women!
