Mysterious Ghost Boy in Photo

A few days ago The Sun posted this article:

THIS spooky image of an unknown boy gave Angie D'Arcy the shivers when she had her photos developed. She took the picture in 2003 in Evercreech, Somerset, but only just got round to having the disposable camera film printed. Angie, 40, of Shepton Mallet, cannot remember anyone being in the shot when she took the snap and said the figure, dressed in old-style country clothing, remained a mystery.
"I don't believe in ghosts but I just can't explain it," she said.
"It was among pictures of our old house. No one recognises the boy."
The child also appears on the negatives.




I can't tell if The Sun printed the picture as a joke, or if they're really so clueless that they didn't realize the mysterious "ghost boy" in the photo is Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I'm leaning towards clueless.

When talking about The Sun
clueless is always a good guess.

whoa... I'm impressed... I thot Alex was just kidding about the Anakin Skywalker thing, but MW's link proves it all... THAT, ladies and germs, is what the MOH should be for: The debunking of claims, and exposing of hoaxes. Well done, carry on. And, please, no more tangental excursions off the threads into areas irrelavant to the topic at hand, okay? I have a friend like that, who can't seem to focus on the subject of the discussion and veers off in every which way. He's also got this OCD thing that he has to collect all this crap he doesn't need, and will never use. He buys tools and leaves them wherever, can never find them, and them moans and wails about what happened to this and where the hell did I leave that. It's sad to watch, but that's nothing compared to my neighbor who has the part-time job up at the Thrift Shop... he built this garage and promptly filled it up with all sorts of this and that, and now he's 80 years old for God's sake. When he leaves this world it's going to take his family a month to wade thru the garage alone. Umm... Yeah, Anakin

I think He's in the barn, doing a carpentry project...

I think I see Elvis in the background.

He's hiding behind the Virgin Mary. No, not the one near the UFO and Bigfoot. The other one.

Ooh, I do not like that Star Wars boy. He gave me the creepys. Even when he was flying with the big nose aliens and the rocket cars, I wanted the green lady to pull the wires under his dashboard, you know? Even the Jar Jar brain strangler was better than the whiny little Darth Vader boy. I am glad he grew up to be so bad, he deserves it, the scary weasel boy. Brrrr... Raoul has the chill Rrrraoul

man, that is a creepy photo, isn't it... I've grazed past a couple times, and that kid's beady lttle eyes just barely peek over that fence or whatever that thing is... it's that positions of his hands, too... like some really selfconcious actor who doesn't know what to do with their hands, or like he's tired or sick... I think that's what makes it sorta resemble a "ghost"... kinda makes me wish some dweeb would post some really objectionable stuff here so Alex will be compelled to remove the whole thread... it's like sour milk, you know it's gonna smell, but you do it anyway, I just can't not look when I get to the main page... I once observed the incremental decomposition of a canine victim of a deadly encounter with vehicle unknown, who lay on the visible roadside on my primary route to work for a period of no less than two weeks.. after a week, my compatriotic passenger/coworker and I no longer viewed the drive to work as routine, but a true manifestation of our quest for truth, nature, and the disgusting spectacle of a one-leg-up dead Petey dog in advanced stages of putrifaction... We were severely dejected to discover that he was taken one night, leaving only a rusty colored stain on the shoulder to satisfy our curious curiousity. Oh, yeah. That kid is dead-dog creepy. Woof

Let's assume that living beings have souls that can continue on beyond their death (dubious, but let's assume it anyway). Their clothing has no spirit that would live on, so shouldn't ghosts all be naked in the afterlife?
