Subject: Why are there two different civil war/pterodactyl pictures attributed to Freaky Links From: saint posted Sun, Jan 7 2007, 8:52am  Does anyone know why there are two totally different civil war pterodactyl pictures with different groups of people both attached to the story of being made up by Freaky Links for their TV show, with the model now resting with Coleman. The creature in them looks totally different as so the soildiers in them. Anyone know the story on this? Heres links to the two different pics.

Subject: Re: Why are there two different civil war/pterodactyl pictures attributed to Freaky Links From: bigrex posted Mon, Jan 8 2007, 7:24am  first there are sveral differences in the 2 versions of the same pic, one has what looks like a side view maybe, with something, possibly part of a wing that partially obscure the legs of the man on the farthest right. Also, if it was an origonal civil war picture tattered and worn from age, they would all have the same white spots and torn edges, not like these two, which have been photoshopped to look older. The other pic has the soldiers and terrasaur superimposed into an old picture, the shadowing isn't right if they were taken together.

I can't seem to paste the picture, but here's where it is: http://paranormal.about.com/od/othercreatures/ig/Gallery-of-Monsters/Pterosaur-w ith-Soldiers.htm Now,how is that? A HUGE, completely different pterodactyl and possibly different soldiers, but the same basic arrangement? The wear pattern is completely different, too, I think. Was there a pterodactyl photoshop SEMINAR? What are your opinions?

In the third Pterodactyl picture I found, http://paranormal.about.com/od/othercreatures/ig/Gallery-of-Monsters/Pte rosaur-with-Soldiers.htm thewear pattern on the photo is identical to the first of the photos here. But the picture is quite different. How would they do this? And why? Thank you, Meg Subject: Re: Why are there two different civil war/pterodactyl pictures attributed to Freaky Links From: LadyGreenEyes posted Wed, Feb 14 2007, 2:24pm  One simple explanation is that one is the known staged photo for Freaky Links, and the other is something else. Whether real or not, I think the actual photo would have to be studied, as too much is subject to interpretation in the digital transfer of images (especially if it really is old!). Since no one seems to know what happened to the photo, I doubt we will ever know, but it's fun to think about, isn't it?
