NEWS: Let's Have a Show of Hands

CULTURE: Let's Have a Show of Hands

Imagine you are having a lovely walk down a path next to a frozen river in the early months of spring. We see some swans by the rivers edge. You take a picture in the hopes of preserving such a beautiful scene. Later, when spring has made the river thaw and you have developed your film, you return to that picture of the swans by the frozen river. And you make a horrifying discovery in the picture: a human hand sticking out of the ice.

Newspaper Aftonbladet said on its Web Site that Marita Larsson was walking around Stockholm's Old Town in early March and took a photo of a swan on the river as a spring thaw melted the ice.

"It was only when I came home and developed the film that I saw there was something particular about the picture. When I had it blown up I saw there was a hand sticking out of the ice," she told the newspaper.

A spokesman for Stockholm police said the hand might be that of a man who committed suicide in late January and whose body has not yet been found.

Police last week also fished various body parts of a woman, including the head and hands, out of the river, and are still trying to identify her.

Perhaps this may be an urban legend sneaking its way onto the AP, but if its true Im going to be having nightmares for the rest of the month

Oh I was in Stockholm Old Town in January... (mid-January, mind!)

Bit of a crap story to be an urban legend- "I developed a photo and saw a hand...". It's probably true.

how can you know someone killed themself if no body has been found? i mean, if the body was that of a guy who committed suicide, how could they know his suicide ever took place?

perhaps he left a note reading "goodbye cruel world, you'll find me in water, e.g. a lake"

meh...

Maybe he'd attepted suicide before, was being treated for depression and suicidal thoughts, had told people he was thinking of killing himself, had been behaving oddly at work, had called suicide prevention line recently, left a note, etc etc etc.

Where can I get that? I fucking hate swans. Bunch of a-holes.

I just got a brand-new camera today. Now I'm going to be worried about taking pictures for fear that dead bodies will show up in them.
