Nicolas Cage has been in the news a lot recently. First it was financial problems, then family problems, then we hear a naked man was standing at the foot of his bed eating a Fudgsicle. Now we are provided photographic evidence that Nic Cage is in fact a vampire who was living in Bristol, TN during the Civil War -at least according to the man who is selling this c.1870 photograph on eBay:
Personally, I believe it’s him and that he is some sort of walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.
He goes on to say that this is not a trick photo of any kind and has not been manipulated in Photoshop or any other graphics program. He also promises that any serious potential buyer will be allowed to have a photo expert of their choice examine the original photograph before any money changes hands. As for the origin of the image, the seller states:
I collect antique memorial photography – images of dead people – from the 1800s. This photo was found in the very back of album that contained an unusual number of Civil War era death portraits (which is why I purchased it). All of the other people in the album, living and dead, were identified by name – this man was not.
If you’re interested, you can check out the auction page here. Of course, you’ll probably be turned off when you see the seller’s “Buy it Now” price of $1,000,000.
