  The photograph titled "The Hooded Man" captured in 2003 depicts a distressing and unsettling scene that may resemble an eerie image often found on creepypasta or strange websites. However, it is essential to acknowledge that this photograph is an authentic representation of a real event.

It is worth noting that this particular picture is relatively less severe compared to a series of photos illustrating US soldiers engaging in acts of torture against Iraqi detainees. Originally employed by Saddam Hussein as a symbol of terror, Abu Ghraib prison later became a facility utilized by the United States to detain suspected insurgents.

The imprisoned individual shown in the photograph is subjected to both psychological and physical torment. Stripped of ...

  San Francisco, California hosted the infamous "Summer of Love" in 1967. It made the San Francisco Bay area a popular travel destination for individuals looking for adventure and curiosity, as well as others who wanted to experience the "Hippie" movement firsthand. It sounded like the year's biggest media event in the press.  Newsweek published a four-page, four-color spread titled "Dropouts on a Mission" on February 6, 1967. Time published "Love on Haight" on March 17, alluding to the now-famous Haight-Ashbury District. Then, on June 6, Newsweek's article "The Hippies are Coming!" appeared in newspapers.  Before long, the city's Hippie gathering was more than just a media spectacle—some even compared it to a pilgrimage. Eventually, the count topped 100,000, including children, drug dealers, tourists, journalists, the destitute, and people who were just curious and wanted to record the events.  However, for those inquisitiv...
