You'll Never Believe What Happened Next...

If you're like me, you despise those click-bait ads seen on many news and social media websites.  You know the ones that describe some scenario and then  propose you'll never believe what happened next. They always lead to sites requiring you to click 15 more times and sit through numerous ads only to find out the end result is lame.  I was reminded of those when I saw the following slides I scanned from a recent find.  I thought they would make excellent click-bait photos. You'll never believe what happened next.

Milton Edgars had recently lost his family in a tragic accident. When Milton photographed his mother standing in the doorway of the porch of her home, he couldn't believe what he saw when he developed the film...





When an early group of storm chasers pulled to the side of the rode to photograph a tornado, they were never seen again.  All that was found was a camera containing a single image...



When amateur photographers Bob and Nancy Ryan of Tipp City, Ohio took a trip to Yellowstone to photograph wildlife, they each brought their own camera in a contest to see who could capture the best photo.  Their cameras were found laying on the side of the road near their car which was still idling.  When the film was developed, the last picture on each roll revealed their fate...
