Someone posted a ghost photo earlier and I was mooching around the site it came from when I found a photo I've never seen before.
It's pretty eerie I think, the boy looks wrong.

The colour of the boy's t-shirt is the exact colour of the mist on the windscreen.
This leads me to think that the block of colour we think is the boy's torso is actually the rear right passenger window that has been misted up.
The face is just paredolia.
It's creepy though.

It's creepy though. What about his arms though. I can understand where your coming from and i at first thought it could just be parodalia but you can clearly see his arms holding something on the roof .

It's creepy though. NO WAY - it's too perfect. i think it's a real boy. it seems even too perfect to be a ghost. i can see hair, eyes, nose, mouth torso & arms.

That is creepy, looks like a pedophile kidnapping a little boy. Why did they hide the drivers face? No ghost but a real pic. That is a little boy in the back, flesh and blood me thinks. Creepy is right......

Yes. His face is freaky looking. Somewhat long and thin with evil eyes.

If you go with the real little boy in the back explanation, why is his head so small compared to the man in the front?
Yes I know, boys heads are smaller than mens, but this one looks much smaller to me.
Could just be a kid playing around in there.

I've been having a little fiddle with this and this is what I got.
I don't think that's a human boy, which was my first thought. If it was a ghost of a child, why would it be distorted? It might be some kind of paradolia, whatever it is, it's really freaky. If this was a genuine photo of mine, I'd be seriously unnerved by it.

Hmmm...looks like a kid in the back seat facing the back, with his arms up braced up on the ceiling of the truck. It doesnt look ghostlike or wrong to me at all.
One thing about these kind of photos. The caption says the guy was supposed to be alone. How do we know that is actually the case? Do we have firsthand knowledge of this claim from him directly, or is this a second, third, or millionth hand urban legend photo, and as far as we know that is little Timmy his son, and there is nothing paranormal going on?

Pax and Mr Bunny, look at Reg's adjusted one and see what you think. I don't believe a kid was really there, it's paradoia, IMO. Like to know what you guys think tho.
I thought the same thing when I looked at the original, that it was a real kid.

The adjusted photo just makes it look worse...I dont know, I am not a photo expert or anything, but it just looks like a regular photo with a kid in the back; I am just kind of weird in that when I see these things I always go fundamental; is the story surrounding the pic true? Like I said if that is little Timmy in the back and dad getting ready to drive and a normal pic, all this speculation is going to look kind of funny, and could you imagine if the kid came across the photo here by accident? That would be an interesting reaction..."What the heck???"

But, point taken. For Timmy's sake, if he exists, I don't *know* what this could be for sure. Yet, it seems to be the back of a seat and maybe a fat hangar near the window that is black. Not a kid at all. Which goes to show ya that we can all look at the same thing and not see it....

I'd have to agree with that. This is exactly what the caption says:
QUOTE
When this picture was taken in 1983, the man was reportedly sitting his the pickup truck by himself. If this is true, why does there appear to be a child sitting in the back seat?
First, it looks more like a Bronco/SUV than a "pickup truck", I don't know.. maybe it's an extended cab. Secondly, the passenger door is open. Maybe that means nothing, but usually people don't get in their vehicle alone with the passenger door open.
I'm going with real kid for this one. Guess it's hard to say for sure but he looks real to me:

I have over 30 nephews and neices, and to me it looks like a kid between 4-7 with his hands over his head, making faces at the photographer. there is nothing at all ghostly about it. what is weird is all the condensation on the windows on what appears to be a nice sunny day.

I just REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY don't like the look on his face. His jaw looks broke because his mouth looks way to wide. Plus the boy looks terrified. His eyes look drawn down.

It does look really wide, but I think what makes his jaw look funny is the way his chin blends in with his neck. You can see a bit of the edge of his t-shirt neckline. Just above that, if you look closely, you should be able to make out his chin. That puts the whole face a bit more into perspective. His lips and nose both look pretty creepy but like others have said, it's probably just the condensation. It is strange looking all the same.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I couldn't bring that one out much, very little color in the face. It looked pretty clear to me, I was wondering if it might be a reflection of somebody standing outside.

That's what I think. Looks like a real boy back there, and the window is all foggy and wet, or grimy, which makes him look distorted.
However, there are also 2 smaller faces to the bottom right of the boy. Those are probably paradoilea, though! (Anyone else see 'em?) I don't have editing software here to circle them.)

Negative image:

Tweaked hues/contrast/color:

Not sure why Timmy isn't as prominant as he should be in the negative image. However. when I just randomly tweaked the original photo seems to be Timmy is just an ordinary boy. V I did see the other face you circled (plus another that actually is the boys upper left arm). However, when I did my thang, they weren't there so... sorry. HEY I'M NOT AN EXPERT THOUGH!!!!!!!! Just my opinion. Whew, almost forgot my disclaimer

creepy,but i dont buy the story.first of all isint that a suburban? also this was 1983? no that model was not availible that early.and if it was why does it look so old in the pic if it was 198 the paint would be new and nice. why would the passenger door be open if he was alone? I say it's fake.But anyone have comments on this one?
http://www.slightlywarped.com/crapfactory/...tofboothill.htm out of the pics on that site i don't think the back seat "timy" is the one worth talking about.

I knew it! Although i have to disagree about the good vehicles part.As my famly has had 5 and each literaly fell apart before 100000.and that was with my dad babying them.My 80's subaru is almost to 300000 and still going.my mom bought a new ru as did i and we love em.no major probs like the chevys.but my dad still HAD to buy a chevy(and bashes my ru's), then on month three the fuel pump went out in his new chevy.leaveing him 40 miles from home.and me and my mom had to go get him in the ru,lol so far all our famlys chevy stories end that way,lmao

And about the younger boy ... I agree with the people that think this is a creepy pic. A feeling deep inside me ... tells me this boy has seen better days!
In fact, I can't look at his face anymore ... lol ... it's really, really freaking me out the longer I look at it!!! My perception of him is ... well ... not good!
