UM-Bot Posted August 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2015 A hiker has captured the image of a strange figure while out walking near a Toowoomba water hole. Brokc David had been out walking in the Australian wilderness recently when he was overcome by a sudden sense of dread and an overwhelming feeling that he was being watched.

PortlandGirl Posted August 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Really interesting. I do see the figure - what is weird to me it almost looks like a painted figure. I have no way to doubt it but I am not convinced 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthurion2 Posted August 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm sure it's not really a ghost but I'm glad it's not transparent and shrouded in white fog like normal "ghost" photos are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted August 25, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It certainly does look like a ghost. I'm a firm believer in them but I noticed if you cover up the red that is his body his head just looks like part of the tree. Then if you cover up his head the red looks like leaves turning color like they do when its fall or that part of the plant is dieing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltedmusician Posted August 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You'd need nerves of steel to raise a camera/phone and take a picture of a blurry humanoid apparition that was standing 40 feet away from you staring at you from behind a brush pile while you're alone and feeling a sense of dread. Good on him if it was really there and he managed to fight through the fear, but it's a questionable story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted August 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It's an optical illusion. He never saw anything he just happened to be just in the right place for this to look like a ghost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Cursed Posted August 25, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I believe that there is something whether it's residual, or something else.........but I am having a hard time seeing anything other than pareidolia in these photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on him if it was really there and he managed to fight through the fear, but it's a questionable story. he didnt notice at the time!!! When he later went through the photographs he'd taken he noticed one that seemed to show a bearded man dressed in red peering out at him from behind a pile of roots and branches.

Calibeliever Posted August 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure if the resolution was higher you wouldn't see the "figure". It looks like dead brush making the shirt and a pattern in the bark of the tree making the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastieRunner Posted August 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Looks badly photoshopped to me. But you guys say it's an optical illusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudds Posted August 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Was this whole thing a gimmick?? That bearded poorly animated figure is not a ghost! You can clearly see it's all photo shopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecks Posted August 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Even made me feel uneasy lol. Its pareidolia. The heads just a continuation of the tree in the background behind the figure, theres just a bush sitting in front of the tree with a break in the leaves giving the illusion of a head shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExoPaul Posted August 25, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I see a lot of soil around the roots of a fallen tree appearing like a red shirt..... and a whiter part of a tree trunk behind it, that when merge together make it appear like a person, but if you break the pieces down, all I see is tree trunk behind reddish brown soil! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
