Tabloid "ghost boy" made using iPhone
Posted on Sunday, 7 March, 2010 | 11 comments
A photograph published in the tabloids of a ghost boy at the ruins of a school has turned out to be a fake.
The photograph that was taken by a builder involved in the demolishing of an old school has turned out to be a blatant fake, the image of the ghostly boy was superimposed on to the picture using a cheap iPhone app for making ghost photographs.
But unfortunately for UK papers the Sun and Daily Mail, their idiocy will live on in print for years. Case in point: Check out the following stories both papers ran when John Ware, a 47-year old builder, sent in a pic he allegedly snapped of a 19th century ghost boy while his company tore down an old school house.
