IS THIS A GHOST?


[+] serious ballot by britvic55
ACTIVE Jan 25,2008 - Sat Jan 24, 09
Woooooooo!

This photo showing the ghostly face of a child has been captured on a teenager's mobile phone.

Matthew Summers was snapping a group of friends before they headed for a night out, but when he looked at the picture he was shocked to see peeping out between the knees of two of the girls what looked like an apparition.

The spooky image - clear enough to show a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth and hair - was captured by the 17-year-old in his sister's front room in Billingham, Teesside.

However, Ciaran O'Keeffe, a parapsychologist on Living TV's Most Haunted show, has a more down-to-earth explanation for the 'child' in Matthew's photograph.

Dr O'Keeffe said: "As human beings we're very good at finding a pattern in randomness and related to that we're good at finding faces in randomness. The term for this pareidolia.

"First it was ink blots, then things like clouds in the sky and now mobile phone pictures.

"There is no ghost in this picture, just the coincidental effect of pixelation and darkness and light which combine together.

Woooooooo! So what do you think? It looks like a face to me, is it just shadows? Do you believe in ghosts?

I find it weird that a parapsychologist, off a show which tries to convince you that ghosts exist, is explaining it away. Go figure. (shrugs)

Wow, maybe it's a relative of that guy whose face is on Mars in that picture. Oh wait, that was just an amazingly coincidental rock formation.

Photoshop? I dunno, I zoomed in real close and it doesn't look shopped to me. What I did see was something which looked like a skull behind the face. lol, the mystery deepens.

I could be wrong, it may well be but in my opinion if it's not a ghost it would more likely be the shadow theory.

I've had too many experiences with 'ghosts' to think they don't exist, but this picture has a photoshop signature on it when looking at it with an editing program. I thought it could be because photoshop may have been used to created the circle, but when running the picture through filters, the face didn't even show up on some of them and there's a faint outline to me that is consistent with the layering that is used to hoax photos. But I could be wrong and the outline could be a result of the pixilation.

Healthy skepticism. They're trying to weed out the fakes and the explainables to get to the things that are actually unexplainable.

I research and investigate certain paranormal incidents in my spare time and am pretty sure that such phenomena exists. But when I'm talking with or interviewing someone, I'll ask questions and rule out every single possibility that I can until they get sick of me. lol
by Grumpy_Person on Fri Jan 25, 08 6:58am [+]

^ Lol, I should have done that myself. I just zoomed in on the web page I found it. I saw the outline but that did fit in with the rest of the pixilation. From what you say, it's likey that it is a fake. Wooooooo! Scooby doo could do with you :o)

I'm off now to enlarge and examine Beelzes pic in more detail.

Ghosts aren't like that, they're energies rather than visible apparitions.
by nuckinfutz on Fri Jan 25, 08 10:42am [+]

^ Most of them I think are. But there are a few rare cases of apparitions being caught on film. I've got a couple of pictures here at home taken indoors at a battle site where a friend of ours works. They both have visible appartitions in them. They're not spooky looking like this one (and like a lot of fakes are) though. They're just standing there minding their own business like any normal person.

The face in the picture above looks strangely familiar for some reason. My son says it looks like the girl from "The Exorcist".

I really wish I could post the ones I'm talking about, but they're copyrighted to someone else and are going in a book.

After extensive examination of Beelzes pic, I've found several boobs to be fake.
