Has anyone seen this photo before. I just found it on google. It had no information about it, just the photo. It kind of looks like this 'light' is down on it's 'hands' and 'knees' ?

I'd be interested to know what some of you think it is hmm.gif

wow that's a weird one.
Wouldn't say it's smoke. at least I've never seen smoke like that disgust.gif
I say it's one of 4 things
1. Ghost
2. something wrong with the camera
3. manipulated
4. very very unusual flash tongue.gif

I've seen this picture before. Yes, it does look ominous; but I feel it's a photo where someone noticed a pattern in the smoketrails and lightened some areas to make it seem even more paranormal.

As you can see from the picture above (not a great example I know, I'll try and find a better one) the smoke in the lower right portion of the photo forms tendrils similar to the original picture of the topic.

Here are some better examples of how smoke can cause that effect:

Apologies for the quality; I had to reduce the size to fit both in as attachments original.gif


If anyone's interested I have a website where I "debunk" all my strange photos. The two posted here are on there in full resolution.

Very considerate of the cameraman to leave enough room to the side of the picture...y'know, just in case Casper stepped in and felt like having his picture taken.

LOL it was Christmas, the drink was flowing, I think you get the picture - if you'll excuse the pun happy.gif

Unless you mean the original picture in question of course - I assume you were talking about mine as you quoted it. Apologies if that wasn't the case thumbsup.gif

The first picture looks a bit fake to me...probably some kind of mishap by photographing two scenes on the same frame..like that would be a person, but since it was overlapped by the living room picture, he looks like a ghost...that's my theory.

awsome pic even if it's fake
whole lot better then a glowing orb
Shivel
The first picture, I believe, is fake.

Whether done by photoshop (which is very likely the case), or some other form of photo manipulation. With all the technology we possess these days it's becoming harder and harder to tell what is meant to be in a photo and what was changed or added in.
You'd be hard-pressed to find out the truth of that picture.

Thanks for your opinions guys. I am not sure what I think of this photo. I don't know whether it is real or if it has been manipulated, but I will just say a few things:

I agree with Darsawl, it is a good pic- I am sick of looking up ghost pics on the net only to see a photo of an orb!!

Secondly- I think if we did come across a real ghost pic, almost everyone would still say it was manipulated in some way. To be honest, no one really knows what a ghost should look like on film, unless you actually saw it with your eyes then snapped a shot of it. Maybe ghosts do look like orbs, maybe they do look like cigarette smoke, maybe they do come out on film looking like a double exposure- Who knows?

Nobody's mentioned the flash reflecting off the tv? Don't know how it would work, and don't feel like giving it thought, but you've gotta consider how the camera mounted flash+non-flat tv would add up. My guess is that, possibly with the combination of some smoke or whatever is the culprit. Granted there could be a ghost rather than smoke per se...
