Quite creepy-I love it! I really like the old photo effect too, really adds to the overall impression of the image.

Love the aging of the photo in this one, it add heaps of atmosphere to the overall image, maybe adding some noise in would of been even better? This is actually rather creepy. Nice one!!

EDIT - After finishing voting I am coming back to this one. I know its a cheap effect but it reminds me of all those faked ghost images from yesteryear. Gonna update this to a 9.
