this looks like the seen of that movie where Ben Stiller just got some sperm on his ear and then that girl dont remember her name takes it for gel and uses it in her hair

#50 Posted by Damian Bāthory on 19 November, 2011, 6:51

these were proven fake a long time ago...

#49 Posted by JohnnyBravo on 13 January, 2011, 21:38

Or wool that hasn't gone through all the processes

#48 Posted by JohnnyBravo on 13 January, 2011, 21:37

It looks like a string that has been sprayed with foam, most likely ripped cloth

#47 Posted by themouges on 3 January, 2011, 2:34

weird

#46 Posted by paragirl on 18 December, 2008, 14:40

Yeah I was gonna say looks like he seriously took advantage of that buy one get one free silly string offer...

#45 Posted by monalisa1185 on 27 June, 2008, 7:45

Well it looks like someone had fun with silly string.

#44 Posted by justme33 on 11 February, 2008, 15:26

I thought ectoplasm was not a solid, but more like a mist or foggy substance. That looks like mayonaise, wonder who had to clean it up?

#43 Posted by dark_fairie on 22 October, 2007, 7:54

Why would ectoplasm come out your ear? It looks like something like shaving cream or whip cream being squirted out from a small tube hidden by the hair over her ear. her hands may be held but her feet probably wasnt..a plastic bottle on the floor with a long thin hose attached, threaded under her cloths up her back under her hair..dark room..people already spooked.. step hard on the bottle..out comes the cream..yeah..good trick

#37 Posted by brook134 on 25 June, 2006, 4:46

simple advice: 1. you do NOT put silly string in your ear 2. Use a Q-tip

#36 Posted by artemisthehunter on 21 June, 2006, 10:20

What a pathetic hoax. It looks like melted candle wax.

#35 Posted by voodoodaddy44 on 4 December, 2005, 22:51

Ever hear of Q-tips, lady?

#34 Posted by klausable on 1 December, 2005, 20:40

#33 Posted by themeaningoflife on 19 November, 2005, 23:17

I think it looks like shving cream.

#32 Posted by -kantankerus- on 18 November, 2005, 8:01

Manifesting "ectoplasm" was trendy in spiritualist circles for a time.

#31 Posted by morgan on 23 October, 2005, 12:54

Oh man reeeally bad ear infection!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

#30 Posted by kenzie_the_unexplained on 2 October, 2005, 22:24

#28 Posted by prescott on 28 August, 2005, 3:03

#27 Posted by abstracthinker on 11 August, 2005, 2:34

it's actually one of many photos taken at a seiance(is that spelt right?),well, some guy started studying spirits after his son died, so he decided to have a seiance and had a camraman snap a few pics.

#26 Posted by nessmonster on 26 June, 2005, 9:33

Better get that looked at buddy!

#25 Posted by javibarr on 15 May, 2005, 6:13

kool

#24 Posted by thedoctor on 8 April, 2005, 4:32

i have seen quite a number of pics like this but not this old... i saw a few taken recently there were "blobs" the size of footballs in front of peoples faces originating in the nose and mouth... it's pretty wild!

#23 Posted by william_h on 1 April, 2005, 0:43

my bad that is definately a he after i look at the arms

#22 Posted by william_h on 1 April, 2005, 0:43

its the same scenario from "something about mary" someone lost there wad and there it is----now all she has to do is use it fot hair gel

#21 Posted by sourpatchkid on 21 March, 2005, 2:47

why does everyone say "her" i think thats a really feminine guy with a bad case of ear spunk.

#20 Posted by demented on 20 March, 2005, 5:07

Now that's funny-I don't care who you are.

#19 Posted by *mog* on 17 March, 2005, 19:35

Thats a nasty case of poor personal hygiene. I hope her other parts aren't that nasty.

#18 Posted by crisi on 9 March, 2005, 4:45

Actually this is the medium from Mr. Mumler's time. At that time, they actually proved this to be real. There are other pic's of her w/a woman named Katie (King? i think) forming from the goo.

#17 Posted by aravyndra on 4 March, 2005, 10:12

i like the silly string comment.that was the one I thought of when I first saw it. Definately a hoax. notice how it looks more like its attached just by the ear? It doesn't look like its coming out of the ear.

#16 Posted by jonb on 25 February, 2005, 2:26

what you dont like my new earing?

#15 Posted by hoby on 21 February, 2005, 22:13

can someone get me a piece of bread and a spreading knife ?

#14 Posted by itzapapalotl on 28 January, 2005, 7:21

At first glance it looks like a scene from a cheap bondage film.

#13 Posted by mistressxshuck on 17 January, 2005, 6:19

looks like DOUGH

#12 Posted by gothdemon on 20 December, 2004, 18:59

Someone get that lady a Q-tip!

#11 Posted by lilcuriousgirl on 12 December, 2004, 22:09

Whatever it is, she has friends holding her hands on both sides..so maybe it really WAS some nasty stuff coming out of her ear and they were there for support? hah. not sure.

#10 Posted by rayce on 12 December, 2004, 4:09

This is a piece from a book that was proven to be a hoax when other photos were found of behind the scenes

#9 Posted by captainzaggis on 4 December, 2004, 4:39

it looks like a yeast infection...except out of your ear.

#8 Posted by the rat monkey on 13 November, 2004, 2:39

I have seen this before. don't know what to think of it.

#7 Posted by gargyrl on 7 November, 2004, 4:15

doesn't it look like there are took many hands and fingers on the right side of the picture for the amount of people. Also I think that they don't show the faces of the other people cause they are laughing.......

#6 Posted by faultyliving on 1 November, 2004, 4:39

is that hair gel?!

#5 Posted by reaper on 19 October, 2004, 20:45

"Ah, oh god! I heard of clearing my head, but this is ridiculious."

#4 Posted by ranch on 11 October, 2004, 4:11
