I think what Laresident was saying is that the double exposure was uncanny because of a the shot's of the noose and then the later 'live' shots of Ian Curtis photographed on top of them. His chosen way of death was something no-one could have known before his sad demise. Doesn't matter that the photo's were in London, it's the spooky happenstance of the pictures that's important to the tale. And I gotta say, that Is a feckin' spooky coincedence.

Mind you, I'd be pretty spooked to find a noose in a derelict building full stop. Horror movie 101 - don't go into a room with a spooky noose, haven 't you seen all those horror movie tropes, you know what's gonna happen ;)
