Still Waters Posted September 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2013 A photograph of a woman with a ghostly extra in the background has been circulating the Internet. The image was originally posted on Reddit by Daniel Tanner from New Hampshire who noticed something unusual in one of his friend's Facebook photographs. The picture shows a woman kneeling alongside her dog while the faint image of a mysterious figure can be seen peering through the door in the background.

Likely Guy Posted September 3, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I think that I could exorcise this ghost with a rag and a little glass cleaner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted September 3, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Maybe a painting or poster behind the glass pane? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecoNoir Posted September 3, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Doesn't look like something that was ever alive. Has a very doll-like, artificial quality about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely Guy Posted September 3, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Paro... pearo... parea... PAREIDOLIA! Yeah, that's it! Edit: I had to look it up to spell it. Edited September 3, 2013 by Likely Guy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderOTD Posted September 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Looks like another ghost app photo imo, the low quality of the image looks like it was taken with a cellphone. The fact that their veteran photo expert is never named is likewise suspicious in my book. Paro... pearo... parea... PAREIDOLIA! Yeah, that's it! Edit: I had to look it up to spell it. I don't think it's a case of pareidolia as the image is far to well defined, not really a Jesus on my handkerchief mind trick. I think its shopped.

The fact that their veteran photo expert is never named is likewise suspicious in my book. I don't think it's a case of pareidolia as the image is far to well defined, not really a Jesus on my handkerchief mind trick. I think its shopped. I'd go with that too. But for the 15 year veteran photo expert to say (in essence), 'since I can't find manipulation (digitally or otherwise), therefore I think that it probably might be a ghost'... Personally, I think that it is either a smudge on the window glass or, as also said, a reflection or, as you said 'shopped'. The simpler answer is usually correct. To jump on the ghost bandwagon seems premature. But if there were more than one example from the same house, I'd be far more interested. There isn't, so I'm not.

vitruvian12 Posted September 4, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If a ghost is supposed to be the same size as a person then it seems a little small, even for a child. The scale is wrong to be standing at that height in the door window. And what is this photo experts name? Did I just miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkestTales Posted September 4, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Forget the ghost ... what about the creepy looking hell dog with glowing, anime-style eyes? Edited September 4, 2013 by DarkestTales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted September 4, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It kinda looks like the reflection of a picture / portrait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximusnow Posted September 4, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I do not think this is pareidolia, but I am looking into the possibility, that an image may stay etched in the glass after lightning strikes. For example; if a little girl was standing near this window, say 50 years ago during a storm, the radiation may have burned a very slight image in the glass. You would not be able to see it except at certain angles with light refracting just perfect. There are two other possibilities in my opinion, a hoax or this is a spirit!

Asadora Posted September 4, 2013 #16 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I hope she recycled them pizza boxes. And she needs to clean that glass in the door, seems to be something on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibeliever Posted September 4, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pretty good analysis. http://imgur.com/a/1LfuF#0 and http://fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=8e92937dc3ac8b623dce15977906dc35655980ad.78205 I'm skeptic and I don't know what this is, but my initial glance made my hair stand up a bit. I almost never have that kind of reaction. If you look at it blown up, the reflection would have to be coming from the middle of the doorway behind the shooter. It could well be something on the other side of the window but the closer I look the more I go hmmm... pretty cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted September 4, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't think it's faked, just a reflection, maybe of the photographer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineffectiveArtist Posted September 4, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It, the ghost I mean, looks like a girl. Her husband took the photo, so I don't think it's his reflection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpee Posted September 4, 2013 #20 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's real. It's nothing dangerous. This is a female spirit. Motherly and connected to nature. Maybe someone she knew How is it a reflection if it is a man taking the picture and the spirit is of a female? Think people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted September 4, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Interesting how the bright paint just below the window is mysteriously dark, as if someone couldn't quite get two Photoshop layers to line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharma warrior Posted September 4, 2013 #22 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If it is indeed a "ghostly image", then why is it only visible on the reflective surface of the glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud the mackem Posted September 4, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think that the Dog would have sensed something unusual,especially something paranormal so I don't credit a ghost in the picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scowl Posted September 4, 2013 #24 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If it is indeed a "ghostly image", then why is it only visible on the reflective surface of the glass? Because it's a ghost outside looking in through the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPringle Posted September 4, 2013 #25 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) If you look closely you can see her leaning against the door frame that leads to another room in the reflection. The ghost probably stood and watched him take pictures of his wife from behind not knowing his camera was able to capture her in the reflection of the glass door.
