There was a previous thread about these "blended" photos.

They are always haunting.

Click through for more pictures.  It is times like this I really wished my grandfather was still around to talk about what he saw!

Historical expert Jo Teeuwisse, from Amsterdam, began the project after finding 300 old negatives at a flea market in her home city depicting familiar places in a very different context.
