Poll: Strange Pictures (Ghosts)

[Flack88]

Before you say....It's one of these threads.....

Have any of you had a legitimate what the **** moment when taking pictures?

This subject came up at work today and I had this picture to show, which I know is 100% genuine (I added in the WTF caption back in 2005 and still have the full resolution original on an IDE hard-drive); This has honestly confused my head since seeing it.

My Dad (Agnostic & a Flight Lieutenant 1980's) back in 2005; came home and showed this to me. He was/is a web/database developer and was taking shots for a customer business. This customer was on the 1st roundabout near Stafford Station/Court for anyone interested, next to Victoria Park.

He was taking some pictures for a customer when this showed up in 1 frame when he got back to the office.

It looks like an Austin Metro to me. But it could have been the Morris or even the MG Metro variant. Qute shocking aren't they?

EDIT: Hang on, the back window doesn't look right for a Metro and the other cars around it may be too new. Sorry don't know what that is. Still looks damn scary to me though. Must be a terror driving it.

EDIT 2: OK I'll have one last try... a Fiat? Also quite terrifying to drive.

I have been in a Rover Metro with a 1.8 VVC conversion (hydro elastic cut rods & over gassed) I can assure you it's a lot less confusing than that photo.

All banter aside, this is the typical response, a lot of people try to joke about it. I think it makes people uneasy hence the laughing reaction unless you see it for yourself. The car on the roundabout is a Bora BTW

Imo it's a pretty serious issue as this redefines science as we know it. Let's take the logical approach as we did back in 2005........

'Woman' ('face' which still to this day gives me the creeps) dressed in vintage Victorian clothing stands 15ft away from crossing (to it's left) in 2005 broad daylight, notice that there are no sun reflections on the 'woman' (around 1:30pm BST) to try and cross the road on a major roundabout. Not to mention it didn't appear on subsequent snapshots.

I never used to believe in ghosts and still don't really. But my brother and I had a series of completely unexplainable, and downright scary, experiences in our old house. By scary I mean malevolent feeling experiences that we both had (sometimes together and sometimes alone, gradually getting worse over many years). The absolute kicker was my dad (100% a non believer and the last person I would ever expect to be scared) not wanting to stay in the house towards the end of his life.

But until I have concrete evidence I have to put it all down to something rational which we just don't know how to explain yet.

It's a person, I fail to see what's so unusual about that

Me and my family suffered a terribly malevolent haunting in the 80’s when we lived in a large Victorian house in North London. I have mentioned it here before but never too much as straight away I get ridiculed and laughed at. The fact is, it nearly broke up my parents marriage, it drove my mum to the point where she was referred to a psychiatrist, it endangered our lives and in the end, forced us from the home we loved. I’ve often wanted to write about it, but then the memories become too strong and I just stop and try to put it out of my mind. To this day I still can’t sleep in a room without a light on. Utterly terrifying.

There was no person there......Do you think a person looks like that on photo? This was 2005 on a NiKon 16mp top notch camera. This is 100% camera evidence and still people doubt. - I will get an IDE to SATA-3 adaptor and prove.

'Woman' ('face' which still to this day gives me the creeps) dressed in vintage Victorian clothing

How are you getting 'woman' and 'vintage Victorian clothing' from this blurred, crappy blob of pixels?

There was no person there......

Then it's not a person. It's merely something that vaguely resembles a person.

Do you think a person looks like that on photo?

Quite possibly. I mean, just look at the person in the car:

It's only thanks to visual context and our capacity for facial pattern recognition that we know this is a human at all.

This was 2005 on a NiKon 16mp top notch camera.

Then why is the quality so poor? Do you have a copy of the image in its original resolution?

This is 100% camera evidence and still people doubt.

Evidence of what, though?

#1 : notice how the 'entity' the the background obscures all light.......Do that with phtoshop CS3 (at the time)


Ok; Gimme a min because you are going to get annihilated.......Your 'BRAIN' - 'MENTAL' Capacity doesn't seem to distinguish between facts and slander.

I will upload the raw .TIF file if I can get it on IDE.

In that last picture it looks like a long haired woman pushing a pram.

Correct on the right, the point to be focusing is on the left, the black entity, as described.

Are you now moving the focus? In the original photo you circled a woman pushing a pram, now you're saying it's to the left of her?

 

[Flack88]

It's pretty obvious. 1 frame 1 image; read the OP. It's the real deal 100% yes it's low res as I need an IDE to SATA-3 cable as I have said. Honestly kiss my bottom (***) if you think It's a Joke...The joke is on you.

I just thought I would share my personal experience but some people seem to get offended and have a mental block?.......Ohhh well.

 

[rebel rebel]

So you're saying you can see another person to the left of the lady with long hair pushing the pram?

 

[terley]

But its not your personal experience? its your dads picture..

 

[terley]

Black woman pushing a pram, nothing to see here.

Its a strange thing - this was part of an image used to generate terrain in a game I was working on http://www.aten-hosted.com/images/woah.jpg at first probably nothing stands out but after awhile most people start to see all kinds of things in it and once you see them you can't un-see (its purely 100% random noise).

Pareidolia. The Rorschach inkblot test uses the same phenomenon.

Same here.....But I have photographic evidence that proves that something else is going on.

But its not your personal experience? its your dads picture..

Well if that is the case then you have the Trident missile system built on the same principle......Apparently people with high ranking officer status are crazy then. You talk poo to put it nicely and are grasping at invisible straws, which you cannot back up. ITS REAL; DEAL WITH IT! I have provided photographic evidence, all that you seem to do it spout conjecture.

Black woman pushing a pram, nothing to see here.

Everyone is in focus on the right hand side of the image, which you seem focused on. Look to the left and the black spectre which has no light reflection.

Its not a case of Rorschach it's physically there in the picture.

I'm a rational person who has never seen a ghost in person.

I don't believe in any gods etc (I'm agnostic) I simply thought I would share a hard evidence picture of what I know is 100% true. To me this was the 'smoking gun' which made me question things and that is all.
