Not sure if this is of any interest to you all but the following has just occurred at 5:30 AM, May 17th, 2015.

I had just gone out to fetch the morning paper when I noticed a peculiar flash drive laying a foot or so away from it. Mind you this was one of the older flash drives that were as long and as thick as your index finger. It was black and had one of those lanyard things around the end and looked to be slightly beaten up as if it had been tossed around for awhile. Thinking nothing of it I retrieved it and the paper and went back inside where I settled on my couch.

Being the curious person that I am I decided to open up my laptop and plug it in. I had up-to-date antivirus so I wasn't worried about malware in the least. Upon plugging it in I was greeted with the file explorer.

The contents of the flash drive are as follows:
 * 165 JPEG files with the name scheme "Cool_Pictures_XXX"
 * 1 ZIP file named "More cool pictures"
 * 1 TXT file names "Cool_Pics"
 * 1 JPEG file names "Finale"

Now, you'd expect some funny cat pictures and stuff but this was not the case. Each one of the 165 photos was a circa 1800 photo depicting a post-mortem child either laying in a coffin, on a bed, or sitting up next to a sibling.

Inside of the ZIP file there were 256 images of the exact same thing.

The only picture that stood out was "Finale" which is an image of a young Japanese boy standing in an apartment holding a pikachu plushie.

Inside of the text file there were the words: "Aren't these neat?"

This concludes today's fucking creepy event.
