8mm
FOUND by Stephen Wooding
in Salt Lake City, Utah
I was digging in my garden and found a little scrap of 8mm film caught in some roots, so I scanned it. The film contains about five frames of a home movie on Christmas morning. Two children are in the frames, a little boy and a little girl, and a decorated Christmas tree is visible behind them. The boy (on the left) seems to be holding something up for the camera (hopefully a GI Joe!). The girl (on the right) seems to have a large doll, which is sitting next to her. I wonder if these people used to live in my house.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
This is a really eerie image-once I read the caption, I could see what it is was, but initially, it looks like some swirling overlap of ghostly images...pretty creepy
Thats really creepy......
This is an AMAZING find!!!
Pure awesome.
I love it, Beautiful find! Happy Holidays!
Very nice, reminds me of some black and white photos I just found. Weird place to find it though, caught up in some roots.
This is by far my favorite find. Ever.
I don't really understand why nearly every photo posted invariably gets the *creepy* response. This is a negative of children on Christmas morning, which doesn't seem particularly menacing to me.
I wish they had blown up the size. I have a hard time seeing this one.
that is pretty creepy, but a cool find
what a thrill!
Wow, just wow.
At first I thought it was something from the holicaust. Thanks for the caption, now I see it clearly.
Sorcha: Some people think any image, and certainly any found image, of human beings going about their everyday lives is automatically creepy. Go figure. In this case, however, maybe they simply meant the fact that the negatives were buried in the ground? That part is rather strange.
I love the quality of the negative, somehow it gives it so much more character.
lovelovelove.
Oh, wow!! Who would imagine ever finding this in the dirt of your yard? And in good enough condition to make out what it is. Total awesomeness!!
This is the most beautiful find, my favourite by far =)

Amazing. What a treasure. When I was a kid we moved alot and I always wondered if anyone found the time capsules my sister and I buried at every house.
This reminded me of that.
thats pretty neat!
This is gorgeous. It's so incredibly dark and mysterious. Perfect find!
My first thought was that this was an out-take from a porno movie or snuff film. I'm relieved to read the innocent caption.
that is actually super8 film, not regular 8mm. it was probably cut off in the course of home editing and got thrown out with the trash, ending outside somehow. i hope i find something like this someday!
I found an old 15 rpm audiocard and played it on my hamilton player and listeded to the sounds of children singing christmas carols..Creepy indeed!
