19. These Mannequins Make You Do a Double Take
This picture, at first glance, appears to be the aftermath of a brutal gang attack or violence in a prisoner of war camp. The half-naked man at the end has lots of his head and arms in what may have been a bombing, and everyone else looks so shell-shocked that they might as well be dead. The good news is that none of the people in this photo were ever even alive because they are actually wax mannequins, not people. In 1925, the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London caught on fire, and the blaze reportedly leaped 50 feet above the building. It burned for an hour and a half, and these mannequins were all that remained.
