“Hell House” in Seymour

February 2, 2009by Sean Henri27 Comments

(Note: Since posting this blog, local residents have informed me that the house is actually located in Seymour, so the title of this post has been adjusted accordingly.  Please refrain from posting directions or an address.)

I was a bit surprised to find out that the town I live in, Derby, CT, was once the setting for an episode of the Discovery Channel‘s A Haunting.  The episode, titled “Hell House”, told the story of the Beckwith family who supposedly began seeing ghosts and other strange phenomena shortly after moving to a new home.  Local ghost hunters Ed & Lorraine Warren were called in to help along with other  “paranormal investigators”, and an exorcism was performed.

I particularly enjoyed the line: “Today, in the historic towns of Seymour and Derby, the legions of dead beneath the land far outnumber the living.”  Spooky…

Tutorial: How to create “clones” in Photoshop

August 4, 2007by Sean HenriNo Comments

After I posted my "clone" photos last week, I received quite a few emails asking me how I did it.  So I’ve decided to throw together a quick tutorial.  Hopefully I can make this clear enough for everyone.  It’s really a quick and easy trick to pull off.

To do this you’ll need to have Adobe Photoshop (I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS2), a camera, preferably a tripod, and a person to take the picture of.

  1. Decide what you want the subject to do in the photo.  Try to make it interesting.
  2. Set the camera on a tripod.  You’ll be taking two photos and you need the background to be the same in both.  If outdoors you need to take the picture fairly quickly so things like lighting and clouds don’t change much.  Position your subject for the first photo, then move them for the second without moving the camera or changing the adjustments.  It’s easier if the subjects positions aren’t overlapping. 
  3. Open the two photos into Photoshop.  In the example below I’m attempting to make it appear as though my friend Luis is jumping over himself.  If you don’t have photos of your own to use but would still like to give this a try, you can use mine by clicking HERE and HERE.
