Popular Post Still Waters Posted December 6, 2017 Popular Post #1 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana is heralded as one of the nation’s most haunted places. People travel from all over the world to spend the night in hopes of being spooked, whether by hearing or seeing something supernatural. One group of women got their wish and documented it on camera in the form of a selfie. http://www.wafb.com/story/36992338/not-your-average-selfie-louisiana-plantation-posts-haunted-picture https://www.myrtlesplantation.com/history-and-hauntings/the-legend-of-chloe 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted December 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Interesting. The most certain one is the last blow-up of the slave girl in the window in the second link. No way that one is pareidolia. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted December 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2017 That is a sad looking ghost. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted December 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) It would be nice to have access to the raw image file and exif data! Also a few more photos of the window and room from the same/different angles. To me it’s not an obvious photoshop or reflection/paradeoila but still could be. You can still see the cross pattern on the wall behind the glass (unless it’s a pattern on the glass) which is also visible more clearly in the left window. Maybe they printed the image onto a transparent sheet and stuck it to the window? But to prove that we’d have to find the same image... Without more info there’s no way to know. But there’s nothing like a bit of viral advertising to boost guest numbers! Edit: Googling photos, the pattern on those windows is on the glass itself. Also, there is at least one statuette of a girls head I’ve found so far inside the house, so reflection may be more likely an explanation. Edit 2: Here you can see a statuette of a female head in the same room as the glass in the OP articles photo (from http://eldoradofurniture.blogspot.com.au/2010/08/mysterious-furniture-haunted-mirror-at.html?m=1): Edit 3: Here’s another photo from their Facebook page showing the location of that statuette in approximately the right location in reference to the glass the women were standing in front of. So as long as it were turned facing the glass, reflection is probably the answer: I don’t have time to find clearer photos or analyze further right now. But reflection is looking more and more likely! Edited December 6, 2017 by Timonthy Edit, Edit 2, Edit 3. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_KB_ Posted December 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2017 cool dust art (me and some friends used to do this you pick a dusty window and then lightly dust it so it looks like stuff) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Falukorv Posted December 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Why does it almost allways have to be in a window? why cant the ghost be visible on a wall or something. They are afterall ghost why do they have to use windows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aearluin Posted December 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Almost sure I've seen that face before. Just can't pinpoint where. Damn this is really anoying. Anyway, pretty sure that is a print glued to the inside of the window. If I could remember where I know that face from I could say exactly what/who they printed.

You don't know that but it's a valid opinion. I have reason to believe they are real but that doesn't mean that what they are is the spirit of a dead person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBene Posted December 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 7, 2017 They advertise the place as "spooky and haunted" so it makes sense creating these kinds of pieces of news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point being the thing on the stairs is probably a reflection too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoferox Posted December 8, 2017 #17 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) As for the photo of the "ghost lady" on the stairs, it's probably a Pepper's Ghost illusion. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for the glass panel (evidenced by the photographer's reflection) in the middle of that room unless it was being used to pull off the trick.

If you find the floor plan, he is standing outside on the front porch looking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switchopens Posted December 8, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Zoom in on this ****. You can clearly see the physical background objects coming together to create a face; pareidolia explains the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Goatman Posted December 10, 2017 #21 Share Posted December 10, 2017 You have to be carful about jumping the ghost gun with mirrors, as mirrors are prone to getting scratches, scuffs and scrapes that can create the illusion of an image or face. I always take mirror/window ghost photos with a pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in an apt building with roughly 20 units everyone knew everyone. On a sunny afternoon, coming home I seen one of my fellow tenants outside in front of our building. A neighbor across the street later said he too, seen him outside. Next day, the police came knocking on my apt door asking questions about the aforementioned tenant. When one cop asked me when was the last time I had seen him I answered honestly. I had seen him the previous afternoon. Both cops started laughing at me. Then the cop that asked me the question said that that wasn't possible, he was found dead and had been dead for at least a week. I nearly shat myself. So either the cops were wrong or I had been hallucinating and I know what my eyes seen. I had no idea he had passed away. I don't expect people to believe me or they can "rationalize" it how they want but I am convinced I seen him after his passing away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be he was confused not realizing he was in his astral form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
