UM-Bot Posted July 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Tia Wilson of Durham, Maine captured the eerie image on a game camera she had set up in her garden. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/319701/woman-photographs-ghost-in-her-front-yard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted July 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Seems like the person could have easily come from among those trees. It's creepy and you have to wonder what the heck he was doing there, but he's obviously just a person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted July 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2018 My first intuitive thought was a soldier remembering his return to his hometown. It struck me as a period uniform. Skeptic in me asks could a living person just have entered and exited the scene in 10 seconds. Could the timer be a little off and it was longer? A hoaxed photo is always possible but then for what and for why? Papameter reads a 55% chance of a paranormal capture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, but Chaos, given the full circumstance (and I think period uniform) why would you say OBVIOUSLY. Could I possibly be that stupid to have missed something obvious?

Susanc241 Posted July 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2018 The image seems to be either facing the house with a rucksack on its back, or sometimes I can see a child being given a piggy back ride. Strange how the brain makes images from indistinct shapes. Interesting though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Caspian Hare Posted July 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not seeing the flat brimmed hat, but the rucksack is obvious, also it looks like the sleeves are rolled at the wrists Is that grass? See if there are footprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was giving my honest best impression of what I saw. But my question stands as to how you made the obvious determination it is just a person based on what is known?

There is a simple explanation why he just showed up. He could easily have taken the few steps out of the wooded area in less than 10 seconds. There's no reason at all to think this is paranormal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I think am hearing a slow retraction from your 'obviously' comment. Still love you Chaos, just had to bust your chops on a boring Sunday morning on the forum.

GlitterRose Posted July 15, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I stand by my statement that this is obviously...very obviously... a man who stepped out of the woods. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she should know she has a prowler in the area and be taking safety measures, not imagining that it's some ghostly apparition just because he didn't walk up the sidewalk.

I think you are now saying you really don't know that it is obvious but want to pretend it is obvious so that the owner becomes more security conscious. I think there is a place for an adult discussion of mysterious seeming things and Tia Wilson of Durham, Maine did not start this thread and is unlikely a member of our honored forum I distinguish an important difference between the words 'possibly' and 'obviously' when analyzing Unexplained Mysteries.

OBVIOUSLY So far from the ‘obviously’ crowd I’ve heard man from bushes, photoshopped and paredolia. The only thing I see obvious is an emotional anti-paranormal bent in some.

Well whadaya know - she's fundraising http://www.theforecaster.net/durham-campaign-aims-to-save-old-town-hall/ And a comment from the article: " I was a believer until the article mentions she has 20,000 followers who read about her paranormal adventures " She's also claimed similar before: http://www.sunjournal.com/weird-wicked-weird-take-2016/ Smell fishy yet papa? 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no obvious conclusion jumping out. This photo is not from that church but her yard we are told. Could real activity be why people have interest in the area? Do we just assume dishonesty because it’s the paranormal? I’ll hold to my uncertain position as I have expressed it at this point.

It is not anti-science to consider that there is more to reality than meets the senses and consider all evidence. Denying the existence of things that can not be proved or disproved by science is actually a non-scientific attitude to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
