I took this photo some months back. I only recently found it on a back-up cd. I was completely unaware of the face that I had captured in the photo.

My photo software isn't too good at bringing up the details, but I can assure you that it is next to the curtain tassel. I took this photo some months back, after a lot of phenomenon had been occurring in the spare room, which is both a study, and a guest room when we have family from overseas come stay with us. My husband and I stay in the spare room when family comes, as I find the air mattress more comfortable.

On this occasion, I decided to take some snap shots testing out my infrared on my camera, to see if there was anything in the room. I thought I didn't capture anything and was going to delete the photos. It was by chance that I had loaded all the photos onto c.d., as my computer crashed and all the photos were been deleted. I thought I had deleted this particular photo prior to saving the images.

I found the disc, and proceeded to go through them to see what I had loaded onto it. I was going through the folder when something about this photo grabbed my attention. I was compelled to look closer at it. It was then that I discovered the face near the tassel. I brought it up on a photo explorer and I was gobsmacked to say the least to see something totally unexpected.

See what you think, and if you have gone back over photos and found strange anomalies on them that you can't explain.

Great topic. Is there a statue of an old man right there or am I imagining things?

Guardian Angel of Fire
it looks very interesting, i've had something similar.
i even checked it on the digital camera and saw it on there.
but i've had a couple people come on saying Matrixing.

I had something, or someone, show up on a photo. My sister and I were at an REM gig, we were right at the front on the barrier and amongst photos my sister took that day was this one. A bit of a blur, didn't think nothing of it, until I enhanced it out of curiosity and a strange face appeared. You might say it was someone in the crowd, but we knew everyone around us that day, there was no one in front of us and the perspective is almost like being above the person. Very odd, not saying paranormal, but it was certainly odd.

Here's the photos. Original and enhanced.

I can completely see a man's face there. I know everybody calls it matrixing, but sometimes I think it's the spirits just sneaking into the photo when they have the chance.

Hi ((Reg)) That second angle enhanced is quite interesting. It does appear to be a clear shot of a face, with something in front of it, I sense its female..Good Job..JN

I see it too Dkk, but thought it was female. In any case, this does not seem to be matrixing its too obvious..JMO..JN

I've never had even a slightly strange photo, other than obvious camera errors. I've even walked through the local cemetery taking pics; absolutely nothing.

There isn't a statue next to the face it is a curtain tassel. I am finding more inexplicable anomalies occurring when I don't look for them. I am glad other people are posting their pictures, as it is a great way to compare them.

When I first spotted the face in the photo, I got chills down my spine. You can see where the face is in relation to my computer. It explains why I sometimes get the feeling that I am not alone in the room.

Keep posting your photos, they are great. We may not be able to explain the anomalies, but they are worth exploring and understanding that anybody can capture these anomalies without even trying, including skeptics.

Those are pretty interesting there guys, keep em coming. I took this one several months ago of my oldest son. There is always things around him. In this pic I had to crop alot as to not show his face. But it is not out of focus as you can see, but when I took it I noticed the lamp and other things, were fuzzy or blurry for no reason..JN

I agree, good job Rachel..JN

This was taken in the abandoned train tunnel in Clinton, Massachusetts. The first photo is straight from the camera, the second has been adjusted slightly for contrast in Photoshop. There wasn't anything there when we took the picture, and there isn't anything like this in the rest of the photos. I know that the wall surface shows a lot of variances in color and texture, but there seems (to me) to be something between the camera and the wall.

Mist? Or digital camera glitch?

I totally agree. I take 500 to 1,000 pictures every weekend that we go out "exploring" and I'm still surprised when something odd shows up.

Those rocks look wet. Seems to curve near the top. Could a reflection off the shiney surface of wet/damp rocks.

There is a framed picture in my sister's room that I took. It is of her, one of our best friends, and the little sister of our best friend. Above them is this white, almost nist-like formation. It might be a photographic error, but I am inclined to wonder if it might be something more. The two brothers of our friend (the one in the picture) passed away in a car accident when we were younger. A few years later, the little sister was born. My friend has told me that when she was an infant, the little sister would talk about seeing her brothers. She would say they were in Heaven playing baseball in Brooklyn or something like that (they used to live in Brooklyn). Of course she had been told that she had brothers before she was born, but the things she said seemed very odd for someone as young as she was. That, coupled with the fact that she is an infant in the photo, makes me wonder if I might have caught the presence of one or both of them on camera.

I like to think so. It's nice to think of it that way.

I've posted this one before.

This was taken at Soule's Chapel in Somerset, Kentucky. It was taken in the cemetery right outside of the chapel (chapel now burned to the ground). The original is kept by the Southern Ghost Research Group, also in Somerset.

Sorry about the size, it's the only one I could find.

It was a clear night, there was no lights in the picture when I took it. The camera did zoom in and out several times while I was holding it. That is why I took the picture. My fingers were not near the zoom in/out buttons.

In Re: my picture above, here's a link to the EXIF data on Flickr - Flickr EXIF

The flash did fire. There were damp spots on the rocks. You might be right about the reflection, but I didn't really get anything like that in any other shot. Here's a link to the rest of the set on Flickr - Clinton Train Tunnel

Thanks again for looking, guys. This was a really neat place - if you find yourselves up that way, definitely check it out original.gif

I'm not totally sure where the Quarry is, but the tunnel is on Rt 70/62, by the dam.

Check out my Tower of London thread on here... I was just taking a normal picture when I was on vacation and I ended up with 2 or more strange ghostly figures in my pic.
