I have taken 2 pictures of a strange mark that has appeared on the wall of our porch. It isn't damp because it's an internal wall. It seems like the paint has dried up on the wall in certain spots. We also have a patchon the wall in the living room, but thats just a weird shaped line.

Every time I look at this I just see a boxer standing with his left arm out and his right arm close to his body. I have taken 2 pictures, and have tried to outline one (although its not that good as its my first attempt).

I'm a bit nervous about this because this is my first ever picture post - I don;t think its anything paranormal, i just wondered if anyone else could see it or whether I'm just seeing things..

Yeah I can kinda see that in the water stain.

I don't think you're mad, but I never would've seen that had you not outlined it. I do think you should repaint your wall, though. And use a good primer first.

How new is the place you live in? If it is brand new, it can cause the paint to do odd things.

I dont see it, what is It. Why cant i see it? Why is it there? Why is the sky blue? How can my feet smell if they don't have a nose? How can.....sorry, im getting carried away

I didn't see anything looking at the first photo, until I looked at the second - where it was outlined.

Actually, you should outline his head a little higher, he has a receding hairline.

And i see sideburns and an ear.

that is what l saw too.

Weird

'what you outlined look like a boxer, almost reminded me of Ali...lol... anyway, I'm sure with primer and a good layer of paint it wont show up anymore...I hope

OH MAN, i can tell you what this picture means , it means that your destiny is to become a professional boxer, thats it, you got it kid, you are going to be the next tyson, the spirits have spoken to you using that wall...

This is an example of grouping in visual perception. Your mind always looks to make some sense of otherwise senseless visual data. It's really fascinating. Your mind goes by certain rules to make sense of things, like Proximity, which is when some things are closer to each other so you automatically group them.

This site has a few examples and information as does the awesome wikipedia entry.

EDIT:
Or, you know, what Charlie said....

Its an old house that we rent so it probably does just need a good lick of paint. Everyone who comes round who I have tried to point i out to just gives me the look but it's just a bit of fun.

Hopefully we;ll be moving soon anyway so Ali wil have to stay for the next person!!

like nativechick, i didn't see anything until i looked at the 2nd picture...


however, when you repaint the wall, you could get an artist to come in and paint a picture of a boxer over the stain of the boxer.

i see it but in a different way

This reminds me of all those people who think they see Jesus everywhere. One time on Ebay a pretzel shaped like the Virgin Mary sold for $26000. I can sort of see your boxer. I saw a chicken nugget supposedly shaped like Jesus once, too. Once, I was shaving and some shaving cream dropped on the side of the shower and it was in the shape of a perfect angel. I should have taken a picture and sold it on ebay or something.

It may be worth a try! I found today a story of a woman who was selling her old breast implants on ebay and was up to $15,000! That is minging!

Kinda Looks Like Elvis with Boxing Gloves?

Maybe i've just been reading to many ghost stories, but it looks like this to me.

LOL...nice catch Kesenai chan!

XD Thanks.

Doesn't it look sorta like the boogey man from The Nightmare Before Christmas..?

Yes it does! LOL. But when I first saw that pic, it sure didn't look like a "boxer" to me.

I can also see a face, its a really neat picture, it would be great to get a physcic
impression of your photo.

Looks like a boxer, yeah.

Hmm the face, it looks like Elvis

Argh now you said it looks like a boxer, that is all I can see.

Great imagination

You may have artistic talent; and it's a hguman skill.

Sure the Rorschach ink blot test is used to test imagination, but because you see an image does not mean you have a problem

\and if it helps, I am a psychologist
