polaroid dinner polaroid 1 children poisoned through Halloween candy is generally thought of as urban legend, but in 1974 case in Corpus chrisit, TX it was reality. A father laced his son’s Pixy Stix with cyanide with the intent to kill him so he could collect on an insurance policy. The father, Ronald Clark O’Bryan, had fallen deeply into debt, so he decided to claw his way out of his self-inflicted money hole by murdering his son. He purchased potassium cyanide, sprinkled it inside five Pixy Stix straws, crudely stapled them all shut, and handed them out to his son, daughter, and three other neighborhood kids. To avoid suspicion, his plot was to kill them all and blame a neighbor. After trick-or-treating, O’Bryan’s 11-year-old son Timothy swallowed the Pixy Stix powder and complained that it tasted bitter. He soon began vomiting uncontrollably and was dead before reaching the hospital. O’Bryan was found guilty of murder and died via lethal injection. He subsequently earned the sobriquets “The Candy Man” and “The Man Who Killed Halloween.” polaroid 2 This more recent polaroid comes from the the late 1990s when avid backpacker jonathan torres set out for what ended up being his very last trip.

The following day rangers from the national park service located jonathan's camp site and backpacking gear all in place as well as his polaroid camera and this photo. To this day he still remains missing. The most haunting aspect of this photo is that it's taken of John from across the campsite, when he was camping alone. old house this polaroid taken in the mid 1980s of recreational photographer Henry Avail as he snapped a few photos of what appears to be a very creepy abandoned property.
