Spooky Images

It's like they're not even trying.. I mean, really.

Well, I can tell you right off the bat that most of these are photoshop. A couple are double expsures. And one of them could be real. Yeah Right! Say, if you ever need a photoshop expert for anything, feel free to ask me.

I always laugh when I hear someone describe the population as "sophisticated." Our technology may be but, as a civilization, we sure aren't. I mean, people get an email from a stranger containing a double-exposed photo with the admonishment that if they don't pass it on, bad things will happen and the BELIEVE THIS???

How does someone come to the conclusion that the universe actually works like this??

I had a great laugh when I saw the last image as I had just 2 minutes eariler seen that same image on a documentary about Ghosts that happened to be playing. They interviewed the photographer and showed that the negative also had the ghostly appiration. I think in the end they chalked it up to the "unknown". The woman who was in that car when it crashed swears she was saved by that very ghost... I kid you not.

Someone is going to say it eventually so I may as well get it out there, the center photo in the middle row, doesn't it look like that ghost farted?

The middle image on the first row of the imprint on the bed is from Worth1000.com, a image editing competition site and is definately a photoshop as theres an explanation of how it was done!

Yah i can't see anything spooky in the fire or lightning just bad photoshop and double exposure but the one on the bottom left how can anyone beleive that's a real ghost i mean i can do that with my bloody camera phone! I've got to admit i like ghost photos but come on at least put some effort into faking them lads. this lot are the ghost equivalent of a trashcan lid on a string as a ufo.

It looks like I can see a face/a guy carrying a gun in the fire one (an image off of the fire) but then again, I attribute that to my imagination which can see images on my ceiling and various opjects ("The stapler has a face!!") as opposed to ghotst 😊

Although the middle top picture is a Photoshopped pic (as Dagrak said), it's still damn creepy. :grrr:

I don't see what's so scary about bad photography, either.

"...They interviewed the photographer and showed that the negative also had the ghostly appiration. I think in the end they chalked it up to the "unknown". ..."

I wouldn't call a light leak in the camera "unknown." I'd call it an otherwise ordinary picture being spoiled by equipment failure.

I love the top middle picture. That's the only vaguly interesting one of them all.

I don't get the top right one either. It just looks like the negative got bent.

Anyone who has an interest in this sort of phenomenon may wish to look up "pareidolia" in a good dictionary.

The fire one (8) I believe I saw on Worth1000. I wonder if the people who send images from Worth1000
know it's illegal under copyright law....

The fire has the face of a crying baby in it. The lightning is obviously a divine finger pointing at the precarious cliff that's about to crumble onto the unsuspecting old ladies.

I'm a pretty hardcore skeptic, but a good ghost picture still gives me chills. Or at least it would if one could prove it wasn't Photoshopped.

For some truly silly - I mean terrifying - old-school spirit photographs, check out these:

i see a face near the top and the middle of the fire. no gun.

If you watch the fire picture from a distance of 2 inches, you can clearly see the Cigarette Smoking Man's brass Zippo lighter.
AND the Bermuda triangle! :-O

Seriously, this was some of the most pathetic attempt I ever saw...

i dont believe the whole "if you dont send this you get blah blah" crap. gosh, anyone who believes it must be so gullible

i do like that picture with the fire though, but it must be photoshopped

Fake, fake, fake, and ridiculous.

I like the one with the bed. Most fake/accidental ghost pictures are so blatantly obvious (man in a white sheet type of stuff) but that one's nicely subtle. Gives me the chills, a bit.

...and isn't that the Bermuda triangle, hovering over the bed in the second pic? :-O

Oh wow Lil Chyna Doll

the picture with the car and the ghost thats in front of it i believe that someone died in the car accedent and the ghost is that person that had died from the accedent.

There is ZERO evidence to support that, Crystal. You believe it because you WANT to believe it, not because it makes any sense.

whoa... harsh, CMG... I think that's what Crystal's trying to say, sorta, that she believes that's what the image suggests, not omiting other explanations, just showing a preference for the post-accident victim apparition theory... chill pills on the coffee table... help yourself

wait, you know what, ignore my previous post, CMG. I forgot: you're the "Cranky" Media Guy... What was I thinking? Carry on, don't let me interupt, sorry, my bad

But why jump to THAT conclusion? If your house shakes a bit, do you immediately think that ghosts are pushing on the walls or do you think that, just maybe, it's the wind?

Start with the simplest/most likely possibility. If that can be eliminated, THEN you can entertain more exotic possibilities.

Okay, I'll type this slowly so you'll have a better chance of understanding my point: I think that Crystal was just giving her interpretation of any possible connection between the background image and the blurry, ghostly image in the foreground. I don't think Crystal was trying to give an explanation of the cause of the image, just offering her Rorschack(sp) interpretation of the what relationship between the principal image and the ethereal image suggests. Again, no offer of a true theory of cause, just a preference for a scenario applied to the image. Ow, now my head hurts. Thanks, pal. I owe you a headache

Sorry to say but #5 #6 AND #8 ARE REAL!!!!
