Looks like a fairly badly composed wedding pic, right? Have a closer look at the balcony at the top right...

Yes, where did that picture came from?...

And was that the bride or groom's side?

I count at least eight ominous figures with oddly pointed headdresses standing at the window. It certainly looks as if they're up to no good.

Then again they may be standing on the balcony of the structure in question.

I got it off a Tumblr blog dedicated to creepy stuff, it turns out the cloaked figures are part of an installation based on A Confederacy of Dunces by an artist named Dawn Dedeaux in New Orleans.

"The moment the sky turns dark is transformative. In the Brulatour Courtyard, it’s the time when Dawn DeDeaux’s perverted portrait of Ignatius Reilly comes to life, converting the romanticism of the historic courtyard into the dark imaginings of John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces. Those familiar with the iconic New Orleans novel will recognize central elements from the narrative in this installation. The Levy Pants revolution, the Lucky Dog cart, and Reilly’s hunting cap all make appearances; while Reilly’s slovenly bed occupies center stage of the courtyard, fountain spewing from its center.

DeDeaux pairs Toole’s famous imagery with a rich symbolic language of her own: white death masks and red pantaloons figure prominently. Robert E. Lee’s Civil War boots and white camellias recall the Confederate South. Robed mannequins in dunce caps on the surrounding balcony—a disturbing confederacy of dunces—bring to mind visions of the occult, looming with a sinister Klan-like presence"

Apparently there's a hotel in Glasgow with an unused floor that was turned into a pretty creepy art installation a few years back but it was never cleared up properly, so it's possible to wander randomly into a room with walls covered in razorblades and other such weirdness.
