Sunday Simulacra - Version 6.3

Today’s simulacra are tapping at the window lattice

Skull-A-Day collaborator Paul Overton of Dudecraft in North Carolina sent us this picture of a simulacra that was lurking behind the curtains.

 [if you can't see it he's outlined it in the image below -N]

Shelik F also found a peeping simulacra at their window.  They wrote: “These are curtains that hang from an apartment window right across from me. Every night I see that skull on the right, and three ghoulish robed figures to the left. Those purple curtains haunt me, they never flinch.”
 

C. Jeffries says:

I feel like I should be calling the police on myself looking at these simulacra. Thank you both for sharing your peeping simulacra finds with us. 

Keep sending those pictures in, we always love seeing what our skull hunters find. Anyone is welcomed to participate, it's fun and it's easy- if you see a simulacra skull, photograph it and send those pictures in to our submissions address with a little something about what it is really and maybe a little about you.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 5.44

Skull hunter Shelik found 3 more hidden skulls. With his photo submission, he included a great explanation of why he sent the photos and how he found the skulls.

"A couple of weeks ago you said you weren't getting enough submissions for Simulacra Sunday. Well, we just can't have that. And since I love seeing all of the 'sneaky skulls' that present themselves to all of us skull fanatics around the world, I did some digging around on my hard drive. I knew that I had taken a few pics that could be worthy, I just had to find them."

"The first skull was one that caught my eye when I was riding my bike. It was some square, brick-type stone that was laying on his side peeking out of a hole on the sidewalk where a tree usually goes. Of course I stopped, broke out the camera phone and said, 'peek-a-boo! I see you!' "

"The second was one that happened to be lurking right next to the very bike I was riding when I saw the Skull Stone. I was sitting my room (bored) when I decided to take a pic of my bike with my iPhone. It wasn't until I looked at the picture later that I noticed a skull (and even some crossbones!) on a computer monitor that I hadn't hooked up yet! The sunlight just happened to shine through some fancy bricks outside and hit the screen perfectly to form that little guy."

"Finally, there's the trash can skull. I threw something away in it and all of the contents gave me a sinister look back. I saw a skull immediately. Some might see an evil face, but it's a skull to me. You decide."

"Hope these submissions help. Because we all need skulls... every. single. day."  I agree Shelik, we do need skulls every day. Without them, we wouldn't be able to see them...



We need help from our skull hunters. If you see a simulacra skull, photograph it and send those pictures in to our submissions address.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 4.22

Happy Halloween, skull hunters. Today's simulacrum have an extra bit of creepiness to enhance today's mood.

Shelik awoke to the horror of a bloody blanket one morning. "This skull was inadvertently drawn in my own blood. Long story short: Alcohol, cut my chin open, bled like mad, cleaned it up as best as I could, and then went to bed. I awoke to a bloody blanket and a skull smiling smugly back at me."



Angela Ramirez has discovered what must be a haunted outhouse. "The simulacra is my friend BMac's outhouse in McCarthy Alaska. You would not believe how many times I walked passed this simulacra before I 'saw' it."



And I'm gonna take you way back to Braincase XVII where we first got wind of evil's aroma when Phil and Mady found this devilish cinnamon skull lurking in their coffee filter.

Thanks as always to the skull hunters out there. I hope today's festivities find you in the presence of many happy skulls. Perhaps you'll even catch a simulacra of your own that you can submit. That would be awesomely ghoulish!

“Countdown To Halloween”
IT'S FINALY HERE! Happy Halloween, everyone!

Simulacra Sunday - Round 11

Shelik discovered a couple of eerie skull simulacra. He says, "The Skull In Water pic happened thanks to my girlfriend and I hating to do the dishes. A bowl filled with water and leftover cupcake batter produced a haunting skull from the depths. We were both amazed.
The Skull Receipt was made from a Yoshinoya receipt and a lighter. This was totally accidental. I was bored after eating my beef bowl and thought I would have some fun with a lighter and the thermal paper on which the receipt was printed."...
