nick_uk_911 Posted July 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So this is my secnd post and probably the only other paranormal thing I have. This is not my photo, this was taken my my sisters boyfriend in what i believe was an old WW2 bunker, apparantly the bunker was completely dark and they decided to snap a photo with the flash on too see if they could see inside. This photo was what they took. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted July 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Sorry nick, nothing paranormal about this at all. We see these come on here a lot. They are orbs created by the flash. Very very common.

nick_uk_911 Posted July 23, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hey freetoroam, I wasnt interested in the orbs it was more what looks like the face of a man wearing what looks like a beret on his head ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. Very common one, its called : Quote Pareidolia (/pærɪˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia These are so easy i can even use wiki to explain them. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_uk_911 Posted July 23, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I have to disagree, Everyone who I know who has looked at this photo has described the same thing, A man in uniform with facial hair (beard and mustache) and a beret that is very simalir to one worn by soldiers in WW2. So does this Pareidolia mean that every persons mind will respond to an image/sound with the same result? You may aswell just close down the forum if everything is put down to pareidolia ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you! It may well be pareidolia, but equally, ................ it may not. None of us knows for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Posted July 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I think that it looks like some lens flare and then some poor ghostly Irish lad in the back. I think he wants a pint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_uk_911 Posted July 23, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Exactly ouija, stating it is definitely pareidolia pretty much concludes all discussion on the topic. Perhaps it is pareidolia but like you say who really knows for sure. I just thought it was an intresting photo and intresting that everyone who has taken a look at it points out the same thing of a man in uniform. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of where the photo is taken at, it put the idea of a 'ghost soldier's in their minds. I see someone with a gaunt face and long hair. That's the result of my brain making the pattern in the image familiar. You're attitude is not productive in discussing the topic. Very little if anything is actually paranormal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us knows for sure. In this case we do. There would be no pareidolia if there had been no orbs and lens flares and the only reason why there are is because the person who took the picture did so with the flash on. Go back with a torch and i guarantee there is no long haired ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be no long-haired ghost because what people are seeing is a soldier with a beret! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
