Retraction: "Proof" of Afterlife Appears to Have Been Faked

Sharp-eyed readers noted a resemblance between the "ghost" in yesterday's post to Albrecht Dürer's "Coat of Arms With Skull". Further review of the photo in question reveals it to be a shameless fake. An original of the photo has been attained. While the ghostly orb floating through the Outerwear Tent Sale appears to be real, the skull inside the orb is clearly Dürer's. Orbs manifest in photos all the time; their appearance alone is not proof of life after death. The Claw Machine apologizes for any confusion or hope that this may have caused. Any assumptions the reader should make with regards to the existence of an Afterlife are clearly their own.
