1953 Atomic Bomb Test Dummies
In 1953, the U.S. government set up a town full of life-like dummies deep in the Nevada desert. The reason this photograph is so creepy is because of the way that all of the lifeless figures are set up to look like a family having dinner. Atomic bombs would then be set off near the area to see how much damage they would have caused had they gone off in an actual populated area.
