10 More Scary Google StreetView Finds
It's no secret that Google Maps is cool, but it's also a bit creepy. If super close zooms of camels and a well in Chad weren't disturbing enough, the people spending hours on Google StreetView tracking down disturbing images and deeply personal glances into people's lives and living rooms.
We put together our own round up of scary street views last June, but new ones pop up every day. Times Online has collected 10 more confounding images and we feel obligated to share this new collection of frightening Street Views.

The photos are not current. Actually its really old because I just went to check out my husbands restaurant on it and they have a picture of the restaurant that was there before it. Mind you my husband opened up over a year ago. So dont get to excited. What you are seeing may be old photos.

Aren't all these photos taken at the wrong angle to be taken from a satellite? There all taken from head on not from above. I think someone just wanted to claim that they were there.

Those pictures aren't updated very often. Our driveway showed a car that's been gone for seven years up until last fall.
I've never seen any close-up pictures on Google Earth. No recognizeable people.

of course its all digital editing, amusing..yes but i can clearly see the circle where somebody copied and pasted a section of dirt over the guys head in the "fresh grave" one which judging from the construction worker is probably work on a pipe

Actually, the pics of my house showed our cars in the driveway. We only had one of the cars for less than a year now. My sister's house showed her car in the driveway which is fairly new. It all depends on when the "satellite" updates its' information.

We all must know that Google Earth doesn't pretend to show us the buttons on a blouse, for Pete's sake! The satellite view of my neighborhood is at least 3 years old and that's fine because its value is to give a great overview of the area. As to the scary street views, they may be from security cams or hand held cameras, and cannot be from satellites. How ridiculous.
