Crafting anecdotes to describe unattributed photos is a popular pasttime online. In fact, there are several sites that run contests for the most creative creations. Of course most photo-inspired e-mail tales are created simply for the adventure of seeing how many people you can fool. The text accompanying the decidedly eerie photo varies widely and has been attributed to varied geographic regions from the U.S., to Austrailia, to London.
