Last month we were visiting my hubby cousins in thompson manitoba canada and i bought instant cameras for my 5 year old son and his 9 year old cousin,We went out for the evening the next day I developed the pictures the kids took in one picture my 5 year old took there is a man in the mirror "by the way the pictures on the negative are his before and after"the kids were playing with an "omg" ouija board well you be the judge.""we have never seen this man before""

Tell donald trump to get the hell out of your house, but on a more serious note, all we have to go on is that you are saying your kid took this picture. It could be your husband for all we know.

Actually, it looks like they've taken a picture of the Television. If it was a mirror, you wouldn't be able to see anything since all that would have been reflected would be the flash. However on a TV since it is just glass not completely reflective you'll only get a partial glare, like this. Plus of course the man looks just like a news anchorman or someone reporting news.

Dang, you beat me to it. I was gonna comment on the lack of reflection.
Mr Ed
True, maybe they were watching Anchorman.

Yes that did occure to us but the bedroom tv is a small one actually we told our son it must be the tv since the picture scard him.but at the verry least the kids are now scared of the ouija board.which i wont have in my house the was while visiting out of town.

I would not get too excited. Your kids took a pic of something normal.. Thats far from a ghost.

I have to agree with Burnside, it does look like a picture taken of a TV screen.

There does seem to be a lack of depth to the image. I was going to suggest a painting or photograph across from the mirror but the TV seems as likely as any answer

lack of depth? There is no depth.

Definately a picture of the TV screen, nice try though. thumbsup.gif

looks like a photo of a picture to me

Blow it up on photoshop, then enhance it and you'll see the pixels appear. It's a crappy television screen.
Method
No refelection from the flash.

There are other things that point to this being a picture of a TV screen (or monitor screen):

Firstly...There is a scan line clearly visible across the middle of the picture. TV images typically are composed of 525 horizontal scan lines. A complete scan takes about 1/30 of a second. You have to use a very slow shutter speed to get a photo of a TV screen that has no visible scan lines.

Secondly...You can also see the curvature of the picture tube in the glare.

It's possible that your son just forgot that they took a picture of the TV screen, and having taken some of a mirror (were there any pics that didn't turn out?) thought that's what it was. Do you think that could be the case?
DJ_Quinn
Or, he took a photo of a ghost who was appearing on TV.
