24 Creepy Pictures From History

Nathan Johnson Published 05/28/2018 in creepy

Damn, history, you crazy. To all the people who wish they were born in a different era; here is your chance to put your money where your mouth is. You get two options, you can either live in the asbestos era of the 1940s, or you get to be the child of a kamikaze pilot; no backing out. A smart name once said nostalgia is for boring people who can't make do with what they have, and I agree with him because that person was me. This is all the proof you need that "they don't make em' like they used to" isn't always a good thing.
