How, then, could they form focal points? Yawn... That's a creepy picture. The eyes are convex, no? How, then, could they form focal points? Yawn…
That’s a creepy picture.

When you publish your studies of curved surfaces and their reflections, be sure to let us know. Meanwhile, whether the effect is subliminal or paranormal, the apparent "eyes" staring at us give us the chills. We've never seen this on any other gravestone, including others with eyes in deaths heads. Whatever the reason for the eyes on that stone, it's a "good scare" that we appreciate as something unusual after seeing thousands of photos with orbs and vortex-type streaks.

I find nothing paranormal or creepy about it. What I do notice is that the back of the carved eye sockets are fairly smooth and form an almost perfect half-sphere. This curved surface will reflect back the light from a flash to form the light spots shown here in the same way a satellite dish antenna focusses the signal to a point. I haven't experimented with this yet but I would hazard a guess that this phenomena only appears when the camera is pointed directly at the skull at an optimum angle and not offset too much. Also, there have been so many people up there poking their grubby fingers into the eye sockets that there is some discoloration present. All in all, this is a good example of some very nice craftsmanship, but that's it. I live near Concord and have been up to visit this site. I find nothing paranormal or creepy about it.
