Ghosts & Hauntings

Tabloid "ghost boy" made using iPhone

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.

A /facepalm emoticon really needs to be added. I'm sure it would be very useful here.

epic fail. That's beyond epic fail....that's somewhere around the lines of "You make a 1st grader look like a genius" aspect.

lol the sun and daily mail. The Pun and Daily Fail. Legendary rag tabloids that takes journalism to an all time low. Makes one think the majority there dont take their job serious, or are retarded interns.....or both.
