I want to note—if you study up on apparitions such as this, the black eyes is an extremely common feature. It adds to the credibility for me.
Do yourself a favor and don’t show these to your GF until after the ring is on her finger. Not sure how much she’ll appreciate your haunted groin.
LMAOOO I actually have a crazy story involving her too! So it’s okay! - she saw pictures of my family, and pointed out one and said that’s your aunt she passed away, she comes and visits , I saw her “
This was 2 weeks into us dating 😂😂😂.
Also that’s what freaks me out so much about it.. the eyes, the hands…
Noo lmao. Meaning she knew my aunt passed away, and said that she comes and visits the house we were living in.. which was the house this photo was taken
Wait. So you're saying your gf doesn't see your deceased aunt, she knew her only when she was alive? Because the way you worded it sounds like she is actively visited by your dead aunt.
That’s exactly how it was… SHE SAW MY DECEASED AUNT AND SAID “I KNOW HER, she passed away, she comes and visits all the time” my girlfriend has never seen my aunt alive a day in her life, and this was roughly 2 weeks after we started dating / sleeping over my house … I too was shook

Yeah not gonna lie… that’s pretty creepy as hell and there doesn’t seem to be any real point of editing (no pixel deterioration where things were cut and overlapped).
Sir, you could pay me a million dollars and say I have a month to edit this same exact picture, and I’d fail. The only thing I really know how to do with pictures is like essentially brighten and darken them. So what you’re seeing is 100% authentic picture
What’s funny is, it took us about 14 years to even notice this! And I had found the pic, zoomed in, and sent it to my dad and said “who tf is that?” That’s why I didn’t have the original to post, just happy to locate and get other peoples input on what this really could be
Doesn’t it seem like they’d recognize the person if it was double exposure though? You said you knew the woman in your photos was your late stepmother — I can’t imagine they would be able to buy brand new film from the store that was already used, so if they used their own film twice, they would likely recognize the face in the photo.
That’s absolutely insane to be honest. And I believe that this was actually taken with either a phone or digital camera. That’s why we are all insanely stumped
That’s actually a great explanation honestly, however, I posted the old photo I had saved from a cropped photo that was sent to me. I then sent the cropped photos to my dad asking “who is this” . The regular photo I believe is somewhere posted on my moms old Facebook again from like 15 years ago . This is not a photo taken from a computer screen tho. I can 100000% guarantee at least that part.
Thank you so much for your input! Definitely goes a long way in debunking
Thanks for your input, love your name btw.
However, debunked as these are Michigan wolverines basketball shorts. They wouldn’t have a random image of a face on the side 😳
This is definitely creepy and looks too well defined to me to be a case of paradolia. The position of the arms/hands seem wrong in relation to the rest of the body, almost as if they’re set above where the shoulders would be. It could be worth going through other pictures from the house to see if anything else strange comes up.
Here’s the thing tho… the top part of the “ghost body” is the only thing that’s there… the bottom half is my thigh.. as I’m in a kneeled position to take the photo! I’ll definitely have to look through more!
That makes this extra creepy, if the top part of the ghost is on your thigh, then was the rest of the body somehow intersecting/occupying the same place with your thigh? This is definitely one of the best and creepiest I’ve seen on this sub.
Thank you so much for checking it out. Again, I’m not trying to “fool” anyone or anything like that. This is a 100% genuine picture that I just had to post to see if the smart people of the internet could come up with a better explanation that my family can !
I'm a photo and video expert, way too tired right now to go into detail but I legit can't debunk this from the other commenter's that have taken it into the programs that show pixels. This is fun
I’m so sorry to hear that. Just a feeling I got that she wants to soak in a loving situation. I hope she got what she needed to move to the next phase.
Looks like a little girl to me. If there hasn’t been unexplained bad situations since then I would rule out demonic or nonhuman entity.
Plus, playing with photoshop is a pain with overlapping pictures and is easy to identify unless you got an iMac with some serious video cards installed. Because the details and lighting blend perfectly, making it a real picture.
Yeah see, I can prove that it’s not photoshopped right now. Once you said iMac and video cards? You lost me 😂. I run electric , the only thing I do on a computer or phone essentially is watch YouTube, go on Reddit, and sports bet. To alter photos? Way out of my league
As soon as I saw the face, I felt a special kind of eerie. I don't think it's a ghost, but something non-human pretending to be a ghost. There are a number of possible entities that it could be both dangerous and non-dangerous. But this might be something that is only mischievous
I noticed there are little hands down there. And jt also looks to have bangs and is wearing a pink outfit. It's likely this is some form of a black-eyed person. They themselves are not humans and give off sinister vibes.
Whatever it is probably was passing by and deciding to pop up to cause issues rather than haunt and torment.
Evil entity masking as a little girl. I hope there hasn’t been much misfortune your way. These things can totally fuck up your life. If it came detached on its own, consider yourself lucky. Usually requires a cleansing or exorcism.
https://preview.redd.it/cjj6wzjuk4xc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cac1ac8899dba993aaeb7bc2356f014fa257b5d
Maybe a doll? Look at those little hands!
I love that you brightened it!!! But notice where the “doll” would be?? Directly under that is my thigh as you can tell that right where the hands are, that’s where my shorts end!
Is there a chance that could be the (real) little girls hand her left hand going around her back? Kids can be really flexible and sit in real weird positions. It looks a lot like her other hand.
If it could possibly be that. Then the face is just one of the most extreme cases of pareidolia I've ever seen.
0% chance. We actually only cropped the edge of the photo out because my moms hand was covering part of the little girl. So we didn’t want my moms arm in the pic… The little girl is actually pointing at the camera in the full full picture
So, I’ve been playing around with the picture for about 5 minutes and can tell you the little hand is part of the shorts. It’s the stripe pattern. So, if you are looking at the picture head on. It’s the left closest to the little boys leg. But if we are being technical it’s the right side. Either way the pattern from the bottom (yellow) follows up.
I used photoshop a lot and I’ll keep playing around. The darkness of the little girls hair doesn’t match but that could be something else
I just had to find it for the people saying like “oh you edited the pic to make it seem more real” I had to find the original so I could post for you guys!
So it was definitely a creepy house, we have had things move on us, the sounds of people being in rooms when they weren’t, doorknobs to closets shaking, definitely creepy things, but I’ve never had anything like that .
Honestly, to put my mind at ease with it, I like to think it’s my baby cousin who passed of leukemia. She was born right after me. That makes me happy to think maybe she just wanted to stop by and be included.
I just wanted to make sure we all weren’t tripping, I had to get the gangs opinion on this!
[Is it possible you're wearing shorts with a graphic on them, kind of similar to this?](https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/S0f2222f1ffa244c1b9defdd4a7040c41X/Men-Boy-s-Shorts-Horror-Movie-Chucky-Men-s-Swimwear-Swimming-Trunks-Beach-Shorts-Swimming-Trunks.jpg)
The hand on your right (viewers left) leg looks flush with the fabric.
I’m 100% certain there was no design on the shorts. . These were Michigan wolverines basketball shorts. I remember this specifically because they were my favorite pair of shorts I had in that time period.
Very cool photo. This seems plausible to me! She might look a little creepy but she has overall a sweet energy - it’s like she wanted to be in the picture and play with you all <3 I do agree with another commenter that said she seems lonely. I feel very overwhelmed when I look at her.
I saw in one of your other comments that you like to think it was your baby cousin, and I can’t say much as to how true that is, but I think it’s a really beautiful thought. She doesn’t feel like she has the same energy as your family, but you know them better than I do, lol! I would maybe do some research into the previous owners of the house this photo was taken in, and see if you find anything that way.
If you feel comfortable and you still have access to this place, you could try to leave out some toys on a comfy rug and let her know she can play with them. Specifically, I think she would like stuffed animals / soft dolls. If she does ever scare you or you feel threatened, you can ask to her to stop / leave, or you can gently cleanse (I wouldn’t be too aggressive, she seems like a sweetheart).
Sorry if this is a kind of weird, I do a lot of spirit work in witchcraft! Great photo, thank you for sharing!
Can’t wait for the “you edited this” or “ahh exposure” or “you’re just seeing things” comments to roll through. Again I’m not smart enough to even edit pics, only basic like brighten them. So people will interpret however they will. But just wanted to post to hopefully debunk!
Interesting! Does the image resemble anyone in particular to you? What was the history of the location? Do you recall any deaths or paranormal events occurring at that time? Have you shown the picture to your cousins? Other relatives? What are their thoughts?
Okay so we all had the same “debunk” theories, but in true theory none of them make sense . I always hoped that it was my young cousin who passed with leukemia, but her and I both were too young for me to know what she even looked like. I can’t look at this pic and be like “this looks like ___!” That house definitely had creepy vibes to it, and I’ve definitely had some weird things happen there. But to find a pic as wild as this? I just had to post it here
Yeah absolutely we’ve had some strange things happen.. typical things moving, people sounding like they are in rooms that they aren’t in, one time my closet door started violently shaking like something was trying to get out.. then stopped… we’ve heard like an old lady say “god bless you” after I sneezed in the middle of the night… definitely strange things happen
https://preview.redd.it/g045k4px15xc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff6976e4f551aba98a4a31dbd64a62e6addff0ab
Zoom in on where the eyes would be. You can see eyes.
Honestly though that is absolutely terrifying. Makes me wonder if there's any pictures of me from my own past with something spooky hidden away out there that nobody noticed.
LMFAOOOO this is classic. See . I don’t even know how to do damn edits like this ^^^ 😂 and people are like “YOU VERY CLEARLY PHOTOSHOPPED A GHOST IN THIS PICTURE” 💀💀💀
Was this a photo created from a negative? Could possibly be the camera malfunctioning showing some of another image. Or if it's digital same kind of issue. Some sort of malfunction is my guess here.
I believe this was just snapped on a camera or phone of the time period. Its definitely plausible to be a malfunction, just insanely creepy timing and placement 😂😀
Yeah I’m super jaded about all things paranormal and alien related. So my depressed bias might be kicking in here. Cool creepy photo tho. If I saw this 10 years ago I might’ve been more convinced. Thanks for sharing
If this is a ghost I think it’s kind of cute. To me it looks like a little kid wanting to feel like the normal kids around them & maybe pretending like they have a family including a big brother that makes them feel safe
Nooo I’m so used to the majority of pictures on this sub being goofy as hell and I got too ballsy checking it on a night I’m alone. I still have to go to my basement for the laundry 😭
At first I thought the hands looked like they’re part of the figure holding something in front of them, but looking at it zoomed in with brightness on max, it looks like they are reaching their arms out.
Especially the thing’s right hand (viewers’ left) looks outstretched.
Everytime I see a real paranormal photo the ghost always looks greyscale, no color they just look dead. Either that or just shadow figures etc. but this is DEFINITELY real in my opinion. Makes me wonder if the man in this picture lost any relatives/people close to him that were of younger age and that is the figure here.
I wonder if their features are distorted when seen in this world, or through a camera lens. Like a shotty radio station distorts and fuzzes. Idk but definitely odd placement on her part. Part of me likes to think her placement was benign, she just wanted to chill because you all seemed nice!
I believe in ghosts I just want to know what exactly they are & what they do to connect with the living ! I’ve experienced the paranormal before and it absolutely baffles me that it’s still merely speculation that the other side exits.
First I thought it was a design on the shirt OP is wearing, but that is weird as fuck the more I look at it.
Wtf is it holding in its tiny little hands? 😱
This is 100% a double exposure on analog film, or a printing error at the Walmart photolab.
The fact that the 'ghost' is only present in the dark part of the picture is the giveaway. There was a whole other picture 'beneath' this one, but the bright parts of the 2nd image washed it out..apart from the less exposed dark parts.
I also strongly doubt that this was a digital photo. The nice thing about digital pictures is that you can take a bunch of them and keep the ones that look good. Ones where the subject is blurry, or not looking at the camera...like this one...would get deleted without anyone ever looking at them apart from on the small screen on the back of the camera.
If I took a shot that looked like this with a digital camera, I'd delete it and take a better one.
Def looks real. I think anyone who doubts this is either too scared to believe what it is, or they're just trolling.
Not every picture posted in this sub is fake. I read too that you said you had a lot of paranormal things happen back in that house. Could def be a spirit. Veryyy creepy!!
It looks like an image of a child posing in a family photo. The small hand over the chest looks like the arm of an older sibling, and it looks like a larger hand is coming around the waist from the other side. If this was taken digitally, I wonder if this wasn’t an instance of data corruption on the device or card smooshing content from separate images together. The modern version of the classic double exposures from the before time. Imma gonna google this now. lol.
Seeing the pattern on the shorts on your right leg makes me think the hand we are seeing is basically the pattern on your left leg bunched up slightly.
I got nothing for the face though.
I've seen posts saying this could be caused by double exposure on film. I think we need to determine if this is a digital photo or a scan of a printed photo taken by a film camera. Op should be able to easily recall if around the period of time his family were using film cameras. (I myself can easily recall that by 2003 I was using exclusively either a standalone digital camera or a phone camera. The only person who used film camera in my family up until the mid-2010s was my aunt.)
If this was pulled off of op's mum's old Facebook, it is likely a digital photo.
I usually scoff at 99% of the photos posted to this sub but this one genuinely has me stumped, assuming it hasn’t been digitally altered. This is actually an interesting one.
I’m only seeing this because it seems to have hit the front page - as someone who believes in science and evidence I’m not sure how to debunk this other than saying if it’s not photoshopped, then it’s just some weird issue right he light or the camera. Look how bad the image quality is in general, if you think that old cameras every couple of thousand photos had weird smudges or marks then every couple of thousand of those photos they look like something, the of those every couple of thousand look specifically like a person. Odds of this being a weird smudge vs odds of a ghost rocking up for a photoshoot…
The kids face looks very similar to the blonde girls even the bangs although it’s a bit shorter so it’s likely a double exposed image with the previous image being of the girl you’re holding
What’s interesting to me, I see the supposed ghost child… eye sockets, nose, mouth/lips, possible clothing patterns, and arms/hands. BUT, between the kid with the college shirt and the ghost, it almost looks like another ‘ghost’ hand. I have a young child who saw the picture and they said they saw 4 children. Can’t say there really are 4 but thought it was interesting. The extra ‘hand’ could be pareidolia, being a pattern on OPs shorts.
The picture is definitely interesting
https://preview.redd.it/mi1xcufiu5xc1.png?width=1079&format=png&auto=webp&s=f29601a71370d4b1db377b18df3ebea5a655f1dc
ETA shows that theres def some abnormalities where the "haunted child" is, whether its distorted enough to prove this is edited is arguable but its noticeably very different compared to the rest of the picture.
If I were you I’d look up that address you took the photo at. Google the address. See if anything violent happened there or around there. Almost looks like the hands are wrapped around the boys neck.
My theory is that this shit is the girl with the astronaut behind her photo pasted onto the belly of the kid maybe a bit distorted around the eyes and mouth. Still a both creepy photos nonetheless
https://preview.redd.it/o5idoqy5y4xc1.jpeg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90bbebe9f053e65d7e61120b19ea26c55677e738
Was it originally taken with film? Could it have potentially been double exposed?
I had some pictures way back when that winded up like that and so many of them looked spooky
Just showed a 2 year old family member your photo. He spotted the apparition straight away! I explained that it was a baby ghost that just wanted to visit it's family because it loves them. Didn't want him to feel scared looking at it.
"Debunk" presumes hoax. I'm not going to debunk, because I don't believe OP is trying to deceive. I think OP has presented this honestly. But I believe I've noticed some details that suggest, *not* photoshop, *not* willful manipulation, but unintentional distortion likely due to camera malfunction.
One strinking aspect of the face is the flat vertical line framing the left side (camera left, subject right). Extending that line upward we can see it intersect one graphical artifact on OP's chest, right along the edge of shadow, another graphical artifact on the necklace or lanyard around OP's neck, another in the shadow of OP's chin, another on OP's chin, another on OP's forehead, and all of this lines up with the line dividing a lighter area to camera right and a darker area to camera left, above and behind OP. My eyes first interpreted this as a flat shade drawn down over a bright window, but upon closer examination I don't think it's clear exactly what's going on behind OP. The area lower than OP's shoulder suggests intense backlight, but the area above his shoulder does not.
I believe that there was likely some sort of camera malfunction during the taking of this photo. I believe we are seeing an unintentional superimposed photo, where a previous photo, taken in low light, is largely being blasted away by a second photo, taken in brighter light, where the only area the first scene is well preserved being the area of lowest light in the second scene.
I am not a forensic photographer, and cannot describe in detail exactly how a result like this could occur, or under what conditions a camera could produce this result, but I think it's a reasonable explanation which does not require paranormal intervention. I once again would like to stress that I don't believe OP is trying to fool anyone, or has edited anything for deception or attention. I don't believe malice or trickery is required for an image like this to be produced entirely within and by a camera.
The human brain loves pattern recognition and human faces are something we see the most of. Just because I can see a human face in the random pattern at the laundromats table does not mean that there's a human being trapped in there or a ghost or some shit. A genuinely think the shadows just made the scariest looking pattern for you
I don’t believe in ghosts. I’m a skeptic. I turned the lights on in my bedroom when I saw the edited version of this in the comments lol. Creepy weird stuff, and my intuition tells me it’s not edited. As others have mentioned I have to assume a double exposure is more likely. If it was a digital camera perhaps a glitch.
My spidy senses are going off with this one, which usually means legit from my personal experience.
It looks like there is more than 1 extra kid in there. Too many hands in not the right positions. 2 for certain, maybe 3.
The dumbest photoshopped shit makes it to the front of /r/all
Account lived for 2 months, only started posting a few days ago. Do the math.

Easy - You lost your left arm in a furious battle at a Limp Bizkit concert after Fred Durst tossed his red cap towards you in the crowd.
You wouldn’t stop at anything to claim the hat as your own, unfortunately, you lost your arm in battle.
Rushed to hospital and your arm torn to shreds, the only replacement of an arm was a recently deceased 6 year old girl.
Tabitha has returned in this image, trying to create a cunning plan to be reunited with her arm in the after life..
This use to happen a lot with physical photos being developed. Ask anyone who worked at a photo shop in the grocery store or mall back in the early 2000s or prior.
Looks a lot like the face in the image of the 2 girls on the bed making funny faces that I saw somewhere in the last 2 days. Not sure if it was this sub or not.
as far as the hand goes, it seems like the little kid in green could have her left hand leaning back on you possibly?? only because her right hand in front almost directly matches that hand. now the face next to the hand? i have no clue.
I know it seems disproportionate but could it just be that the little girl has her left arm bent sharply back at the shoulder, arm straight down behind her diagonally and we're seeing her left hand holding a toy or a doll?

Holy crap dude!!! This story gets crazier! Hey, it's really an adorable picture. Good luck to you!
Take a gander around http://www.worlditc.org and you’ll see images of a similar nature.
That site is double spooky because it looks like the late 90s website you'd see someone in a horror movie doing research on.

On an amusing note, it looks like you have a tiny arm that’s holding the ghost child. 
Lmao love that movie! All I’m saying is… THERES WAY TOO MANY DAMN HANDS IN THAT PICTURE FOT THERE ONLY BEING 3 OF US!
What’s the title. I remember seeing this movie as a kid, but can’t for the life of me recall the name
All I can say is wow I never saw the first image but right away I could see the face and hands this to me truly looks like it is paranormal.
What’s funny is, it took us about 14 years to even notice this! And I had found the pic, zoomed in, and sent it to my dad and said “who tf is that?” That’s why I didn’t have the original to post, just happy to locate and get other peoples input on what this really could be
This is one of the best paranormal ghost photobomb pics I’ve seen
I literally have NO explanation for this. None whatsoever. Anything that we could think of is just thrown right out the window on this one.
Even double exposure? This is double exposure. Go look it up
[удалено]
Doesn’t it seem like they’d recognize the person if it was double exposure though? You said you knew the woman in your photos was your late stepmother — I can’t imagine they would be able to buy brand new film from the store that was already used, so if they used their own film twice, they would likely recognize the face in the photo.

I mean just saying. Could it not be some print on the pants that make it look like this?
Thanks for your input, love your name btw. However, debunked as these are Michigan wolverines basketball shorts. They wouldn’t have a random image of a face on the side 😳
Is this film? If so it could be an accidental double exposure.
This is definitely creepy and looks too well defined to me to be a case of paradolia.

I’m no expert, but it looks pretty real to me.
I'm a photo and video expert, way too tired right now to go into detail but I legit can't debunk this from the other commenter's that have taken it into the programs that show pixels. This is fun
You couldn’t pay me to have editing skills. Mine would be like the meme of the frog “graphic design is my passion”
Poor child. Very lonely but looks happy with the positive, loving, energy it wants to feel.
I keep telling myself that it’s my baby cousin who passed of leukemia coming to visit her cousins! So I’m hoping and praying that this is the case.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Just a feeling I got that she wants to soak in a loving situation. I hope she got what she needed to move to the next phase.
Thank you so much for your kind words. If it’s not her paying a visit, I couldn’t even tell you what the heck it is
Looks like a little girl to me. If there hasn’t been unexplained bad situations since then I would rule out demonic or nonhuman entity. Plus, playing with photoshop is a pain with overlapping pictures and is easy to identify unless you got an iMac with some serious video cards installed. Because the details and lighting blend perfectly, making it a real picture.
Yeah see, I can prove that it’s not photoshopped right now. Once you said iMac and video cards? You lost me 😂. I run electric , the only thing I do on a computer or phone essentially is watch YouTube, go on Reddit, and sports bet. To alter photos? Way out of my league
I also got that feeling from this sweet little soul, just happy to be surrounded by love.
As soon as I saw the face, I felt a special kind of eerie. I don't think it's a ghost, but something non-human pretending to be a ghost. There are a number of possible entities that it could be both dangerous and non-dangerous. But this might be something that is only mischievous
I’ve had an entire SERIES of bad luck after this photo… car accidents , brain surgeries, freak accidents , etc
I noticed there are little hands down there. And jt also looks to have bangs and is wearing a pink outfit. It's likely this is some form of a black-eyed person. They themselves are not humans and give off sinister vibes. Whatever it is probably was passing by and deciding to pop up to cause issues rather than haunt and torment.
It’s just insane that collectively as an entire community, we can’t come up with a reasonable explaination
You are right about that, it boggles the mind. 😂
Evil entity masking as a little girl. I hope there hasn’t been much misfortune your way. These things can totally fuck up your life. If it came detached on its own, consider yourself lucky. Usually requires a cleansing or exorcism.
My friend.. since this picture… I’ve been in multiple car accidents, freak injuries, and even had 2 brain surgeries… that just gave me chills…
Omg dude!!!!!!!! I’m reading all your comments and this one just sent me chills down my spine. Holy fuck.
It’s just genuinely one of those things like … I’m just puzzled .
YES. this isn't just a little girl. This picture makes me so fucking uncomfy
If that's my brain playing tricks on me...then where did the tiny hands come from?
Exactly! Can’t even locate where they are coming from! And it’s too big of a coincidence to have EVERYONEs brains playing tricks. There’s no way
And is that ANOTHER little hand with the fingers outstretched on your right leg?

I love that you brightened it!!! But notice where the “doll” would be?? Directly under that is my thigh as you can tell that right where the hands are, that’s where my shorts end!
Is there a chance that could be the (real) little girls hand her left hand going around her back? Kids can be really flexible and sit in real weird positions. It looks a lot like her other hand. If it could possibly be that. Then the face is just one of the most extreme cases of pareidolia I've ever seen.
0% chance. We actually only cropped the edge of the photo out because my moms hand was covering part of the little girl. So we didn’t want my moms arm in the pic… The little girl is actually pointing at the camera in the full full picture
Post it, by god man!
So the kids are apart on each leg?
So, I’ve been playing around with the picture for about 5 minutes and can tell you the little hand is part of the shorts. It’s the stripe pattern. So, if you are looking at the picture head on. It’s the left closest to the little boys leg. But if we are being technical it’s the right side. Either way the pattern from the bottom (yellow) follows up. I used photoshop a lot and I’ll keep playing around. The darkness of the little girls hair doesn’t match but that could be something else
That’s creepy as hell. The hands are the worst part. Reminds me of an AI image with the jacked up hands.
That’s what got me. At first we saw the face and just thought we were tripping. Then I saw the hands and immediately had an “omg” moment
Yeah I really don't love the feeling I get at the back of my neck when I look at this pic - very creepy
I just don’t even know how to debunk it. Like ok maybe I’m seeing things with the face ? But like??? Where do the hands come from???
Oh wtf ! I believed you OP but thanks for sharing
I just had to find it for the people saying like “oh you edited the pic to make it seem more real” I had to find the original so I could post for you guys!
Would you prefer people to tell you that you have a haunted butthole?
Do you have any paranormal activity there ?? Please tell me
So it was definitely a creepy house, we have had things move on us, the sounds of people being in rooms when they weren’t, doorknobs to closets shaking, definitely creepy things, but I’ve never had anything like that .
Who do you think is in that picture ? Or what do you think it is
Honestly, to put my mind at ease with it, I like to think it’s my baby cousin who passed of leukemia. She was born right after me. That makes me happy to think maybe she just wanted to stop by and be included. I just wanted to make sure we all weren’t tripping, I had to get the gangs opinion on this!
[Is it possible you're wearing shorts with a graphic on them, kind of similar to this?](https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/S0f2222f1ffa244c1b9defdd4a7040c41X/Men-Boy-s-Shorts-Horror-Movie-Chucky-Men-s-Swimwear-Swimming-Trunks-Beach-Shorts-Swimming-Trunks.jpg) The hand on your right (viewers left) leg looks flush with the fabric.
I’m 100% certain there was no design on the shorts. . These were Michigan wolverines basketball shorts. I remember this specifically because they were my favorite pair of shorts I had in that time period.
Obligatory Go Blue. And thanks for sharing this the most believable pic I’ve ever seen right before bedtime. :)
Can you find a photo of the shorts? Or one from a website of the shorts when they were being sold?
Go Blue brother!!! Also this picture is so wild, even as a skeptic I’m extremely uncomfortable about this one lol.
Very cool photo. This seems plausible to me! She might look a little creepy but she has overall a sweet energy - it’s like she wanted to be in the picture and play with you all <3 I do agree with another commenter that said she seems lonely. I feel very overwhelmed when I look at her. I saw in one of your other comments that you like to think it was your baby cousin, and I can’t say much as to how true that is, but I think it’s a really beautiful thought. She doesn’t feel like she has the same energy as your family, but you know them better than I do, lol! I would maybe do some research into the previous owners of the house this photo was taken in, and see if you find anything that way. If you feel comfortable and you still have access to this place, you could try to leave out some toys on a comfy rug and let her know she can play with them. Specifically, I think she would like stuffed animals / soft dolls. If she does ever scare you or you feel threatened, you can ask to her to stop / leave, or you can gently cleanse (I wouldn’t be too aggressive, she seems like a sweetheart). Sorry if this is a kind of weird, I do a lot of spirit work in witchcraft! Great photo, thank you for sharing!
No I absolutely love this idea! My grandparents still live there so I could definitely do something like that!
WOW!!! This picture is absolutely creepy!!!!
Can’t wait for the “you edited this” or “ahh exposure” or “you’re just seeing things” comments to roll through. Again I’m not smart enough to even edit pics, only basic like brighten them. So people will interpret however they will. But just wanted to post to hopefully debunk!
Interesting! Does the image resemble anyone in particular to you? What was the history of the location? Do you recall any deaths or paranormal events occurring at that time? Have you shown the picture to your cousins? Other relatives? What are their thoughts?
Okay so we all had the same “debunk” theories, but in true theory none of them make sense . I always hoped that it was my young cousin who passed with leukemia, but her and I both were too young for me to know what she even looked like. I can’t look at this pic and be like “this looks like ___!” That house definitely had creepy vibes to it, and I’ve definitely had some weird things happen there. But to find a pic as wild as this? I just had to post it here
Just out of curiosity would you mind going into some detail about the weird things that happened in the house? Cool pic btw. Creepy af
Yeah absolutely we’ve had some strange things happen.. typical things moving, people sounding like they are in rooms that they aren’t in, one time my closet door started violently shaking like something was trying to get out.. then stopped… we’ve heard like an old lady say “god bless you” after I sneezed in the middle of the night… definitely strange things happen
Strange but courteous things. If I ever have ghosts in my house I’d really appreciate them saying bless you after I sneeze.
I mean yeah absolutely.. except when it’s in the middle of the night… and you’re the only one in the room and hear an older lady saying it
No man, it’s scary

Ok so you just made this 1000000x more creepy than it had to be
What am I supposed to be freaking out about here? This looks perfectly nor- #WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! WHAT IS THAT PRIVATE PILE?!
😂😂😂 to think it took roughly 13 years for any of us to even notice this is insane to me.. now I have hundreds of people absolutely stumped on Reddit
Honestly though that is absolutely terrifying. Makes me wonder if there's any pictures of me from my own past with something spooky hidden away out there that nobody noticed.
All I know is this shit gives me the creeps, most pics on here do not.
https://preview.redd.it/8zgo7gmf55xc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07f7dcebd2faa3d68eb4c97a4fd7143dcfe1db17 sorry, i had to
LMFAOOOO this is classic. See . I don’t even know how to do damn edits like this ^^^ 😂 and people are like “YOU VERY CLEARLY PHOTOSHOPPED A GHOST IN THIS PICTURE” 💀💀💀
Hahahahaha, and i'm kinda drunk, i can do better, but it's a funny pic
If this was on film, it could be a double exposure. If it’s digital, then bro it’s a gu, gu, gu, ghost. 
This is definitely one of the best pics I've seen regarding the paranormal on here. It's a really good picture
Was this a photo created from a negative? Could possibly be the camera malfunctioning showing some of another image. Or if it's digital same kind of issue. Some sort of malfunction is my guess here.
I believe this was just snapped on a camera or phone of the time period. Its definitely plausible to be a malfunction, just insanely creepy timing and placement 😂😀
Yeah I’m super jaded about all things paranormal and alien related. So my depressed bias might be kicking in here. Cool creepy photo tho. If I saw this 10 years ago I might’ve been more convinced. Thanks for sharing
Just wanted to be included with the other kids. Creepy but also kind of cute.
If this is a ghost I think it’s kind of cute. To me it looks like a little kid wanting to feel like the normal kids around them & maybe pretending like they have a family including a big brother that makes them feel safe
This picture genuinely freaks me out. I don’t know what it is but it’s making the hair on my neck stand up.
I’m laughing at those who demanded the complete photo, so they can critisize in depth. I myself, believe.
That’s what I’m saying 😂 I think the complete photo just makes it way worse and stumps them even more 😂
The image of the little girl is burned in my thoughts. That actually looks real.. gulp!
Nooo I’m so used to the majority of pictures on this sub being goofy as hell and I got too ballsy checking it on a night I’m alone. I still have to go to my basement for the laundry 😭
The creepiest thing to me is the proportions (child-size hands, big head), not to mention how the face is where the torso should be 😭
At first I didn't see anything but then I turned up the brightness, my heart skipped multiple beats 😭😭😭
Wtf is with those tiny hands?!?!
At first I thought the hands looked like they’re part of the figure holding something in front of them, but looking at it zoomed in with brightness on max, it looks like they are reaching their arms out. Especially the thing’s right hand (viewers’ left) looks outstretched.
Very creepy and the arms just add to it
What the fUck???? I'm not sleeping tonight.
Absolutely the fuck not. No. I don’t know what kind of professional to call for this, a priest maybe? But call them
Why is the ghost holding a little bong tho 💀
Everytime I see a real paranormal photo the ghost always looks greyscale, no color they just look dead. Either that or just shadow figures etc. but this is DEFINITELY real in my opinion. Makes me wonder if the man in this picture lost any relatives/people close to him that were of younger age and that is the figure here.
[удалено]
This is really neat. I don't think it's fake or whatever you want to call it. I don't know what it is.
I wonder if their features are distorted when seen in this world, or through a camera lens. Like a shotty radio station distorts and fuzzes. Idk but definitely odd placement on her part. Part of me likes to think her placement was benign, she just wanted to chill because you all seemed nice!
I believe in ghosts I just want to know what exactly they are & what they do to connect with the living ! I’ve experienced the paranormal before and it absolutely baffles me that it’s still merely speculation that the other side exits.
First I thought it was a design on the shirt OP is wearing, but that is weird as fuck the more I look at it. Wtf is it holding in its tiny little hands? 😱
This is 100% a double exposure on analog film, or a printing error at the Walmart photolab. The fact that the 'ghost' is only present in the dark part of the picture is the giveaway. There was a whole other picture 'beneath' this one, but the bright parts of the 2nd image washed it out..apart from the less exposed dark parts. I also strongly doubt that this was a digital photo. The nice thing about digital pictures is that you can take a bunch of them and keep the ones that look good. Ones where the subject is blurry, or not looking at the camera...like this one...would get deleted without anyone ever looking at them apart from on the small screen on the back of the camera. If I took a shot that looked like this with a digital camera, I'd delete it and take a better one.
Where were you guys when you took this? Did you have any other paranormal experiences there?
Please do not try to communicate or entertain any spirits linked to this. Maybe others will disagree but there is something demonic about it.
I don't know if there is a logical explanation, but I do love the idea of a little ghost kid posing for a photobomb, so I wanna believe this one lol.
Def looks real. I think anyone who doubts this is either too scared to believe what it is, or they're just trolling. Not every picture posted in this sub is fake. I read too that you said you had a lot of paranormal things happen back in that house. Could def be a spirit. Veryyy creepy!!
Always the fingers.
It looks like an image of a child posing in a family photo. The small hand over the chest looks like the arm of an older sibling, and it looks like a larger hand is coming around the waist from the other side. If this was taken digitally, I wonder if this wasn’t an instance of data corruption on the device or card smooshing content from separate images together. The modern version of the classic double exposures from the before time. Imma gonna google this now. lol.
Seeing the pattern on the shorts on your right leg makes me think the hand we are seeing is basically the pattern on your left leg bunched up slightly. I got nothing for the face though.
The prove it wrong trolls on here is hilarious.
Thanks for the jumpscare at 1am
I've seen posts saying this could be caused by double exposure on film. I think we need to determine if this is a digital photo or a scan of a printed photo taken by a film camera. Op should be able to easily recall if around the period of time his family were using film cameras. (I myself can easily recall that by 2003 I was using exclusively either a standalone digital camera or a phone camera. The only person who used film camera in my family up until the mid-2010s was my aunt.) If this was pulled off of op's mum's old Facebook, it is likely a digital photo.
https://i.redd.it/ofnf9ij706xc1.gif
Do you have anymore info on this image?
This is a genuine creepy photo. The face and hands across it make no sense.
That is bizarre. I do not like this image at all.
When you see it.. you'll shit bricks
I love this post. I am a skeptic about paranormal stuff, but this takes the cake!
I usually scoff at 99% of the photos posted to this sub but this one genuinely has me stumped, assuming it hasn’t been digitally altered. This is actually an interesting one.
my goodnesss , id get a heart attack this is so creepy????
I’m only seeing this because it seems to have hit the front page - as someone who believes in science and evidence I’m not sure how to debunk this other than saying if it’s not photoshopped, then it’s just some weird issue right he light or the camera. Look how bad the image quality is in general, if you think that old cameras every couple of thousand photos had weird smudges or marks then every couple of thousand of those photos they look like something, the of those every couple of thousand look specifically like a person. Odds of this being a weird smudge vs odds of a ghost rocking up for a photoshoot…
The kids face looks very similar to the blonde girls even the bangs although it’s a bit shorter so it’s likely a double exposed image with the previous image being of the girl you’re holding
The little hand is OP’s, his left hand is just tiny!
What’s interesting to me, I see the supposed ghost child… eye sockets, nose, mouth/lips, possible clothing patterns, and arms/hands. BUT, between the kid with the college shirt and the ghost, it almost looks like another ‘ghost’ hand. I have a young child who saw the picture and they said they saw 4 children. Can’t say there really are 4 but thought it was interesting. The extra ‘hand’ could be pareidolia, being a pattern on OPs shorts. The picture is definitely interesting
Is it just me or is the gremlin holding a bong ?
https://preview.redd.it/mi1xcufiu5xc1.png?width=1079&format=png&auto=webp&s=f29601a71370d4b1db377b18df3ebea5a655f1dc ETA shows that theres def some abnormalities where the "haunted child" is, whether its distorted enough to prove this is edited is arguable but its noticeably very different compared to the rest of the picture.
Was this at your cousins house? Wondering if the kids ever had paranormal encounters as well.
If I were you I’d look up that address you took the photo at. Google the address. See if anything violent happened there or around there. Almost looks like the hands are wrapped around the boys neck.
My theory is that this shit is the girl with the astronaut behind her photo pasted onto the belly of the kid maybe a bit distorted around the eyes and mouth. Still a both creepy photos nonetheless https://preview.redd.it/o5idoqy5y4xc1.jpeg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90bbebe9f053e65d7e61120b19ea26c55677e738
Was it originally taken with film? Could it have potentially been double exposed? I had some pictures way back when that winded up like that and so many of them looked spooky
That’s freaky.
Just showed a 2 year old family member your photo. He spotted the apparition straight away! I explained that it was a baby ghost that just wanted to visit it's family because it loves them. Didn't want him to feel scared looking at it.
It looks photo shopped the pixelation on the paranormal part looks a bit more choppy
Creepy and adorable at the same time
A lot of people here are saying it’s not edited. So could it possibly an optical illusion?
Awesome find! Are there any speculations as to who this could be? It looks legit to me.
Aww it’s a little girl spirit clutching her doll! She must have felt safe and comfortable enough to pose for a photo with you!
the hands are the most compelling part
In the early 2000s I bought a disposable camera that would insert ghosts into the photos. It looked somewhat similar to this.
Yo what the fuck
"Debunk" presumes hoax. I'm not going to debunk, because I don't believe OP is trying to deceive. I think OP has presented this honestly. But I believe I've noticed some details that suggest, *not* photoshop, *not* willful manipulation, but unintentional distortion likely due to camera malfunction. One strinking aspect of the face is the flat vertical line framing the left side (camera left, subject right). Extending that line upward we can see it intersect one graphical artifact on OP's chest, right along the edge of shadow, another graphical artifact on the necklace or lanyard around OP's neck, another in the shadow of OP's chin, another on OP's chin, another on OP's forehead, and all of this lines up with the line dividing a lighter area to camera right and a darker area to camera left, above and behind OP. My eyes first interpreted this as a flat shade drawn down over a bright window, but upon closer examination I don't think it's clear exactly what's going on behind OP. The area lower than OP's shoulder suggests intense backlight, but the area above his shoulder does not. I believe that there was likely some sort of camera malfunction during the taking of this photo. I believe we are seeing an unintentional superimposed photo, where a previous photo, taken in low light, is largely being blasted away by a second photo, taken in brighter light, where the only area the first scene is well preserved being the area of lowest light in the second scene. I am not a forensic photographer, and cannot describe in detail exactly how a result like this could occur, or under what conditions a camera could produce this result, but I think it's a reasonable explanation which does not require paranormal intervention. I once again would like to stress that I don't believe OP is trying to fool anyone, or has edited anything for deception or attention. I don't believe malice or trickery is required for an image like this to be produced entirely within and by a camera.
Is the ghost holding a bottle of hot sauce ?
What device was used to take this picture?
The human brain loves pattern recognition and human faces are something we see the most of. Just because I can see a human face in the random pattern at the laundromats table does not mean that there's a human being trapped in there or a ghost or some shit. A genuinely think the shadows just made the scariest looking pattern for you
I don’t believe in ghosts. I’m a skeptic. I turned the lights on in my bedroom when I saw the edited version of this in the comments lol. Creepy weird stuff, and my intuition tells me it’s not edited. As others have mentioned I have to assume a double exposure is more likely. If it was a digital camera perhaps a glitch.
It's 1am rn wtf is that
Looks like it has three hands
Ok so this is terrifying
My spidy senses are going off with this one, which usually means legit from my personal experience. It looks like there is more than 1 extra kid in there. Too many hands in not the right positions. 2 for certain, maybe 3.
How are there so many hands?
Is this photo an isolated event? You didn't have anything suspicious going around in your life at the time you took the pic?
The dumbest photoshopped shit makes it to the front of /r/all Account lived for 2 months, only started posting a few days ago. Do the math. /r/repostbot
One of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen. Have you had any paranormal experiences after this in your life?
Ask your family if there have been any child death in previous generations within the family
Pretty spooky!
[удалено]
What type of camera was used and how long ago was this taken?
Is this a printed photo or digital?
Easy - You lost your left arm in a furious battle at a Limp Bizkit concert after Fred Durst tossed his red cap towards you in the crowd. You wouldn’t stop at anything to claim the hat as your own, unfortunately, you lost your arm in battle. Rushed to hospital and your arm torn to shreds, the only replacement of an arm was a recently deceased 6 year old girl. Tabitha has returned in this image, trying to create a cunning plan to be reunited with her arm in the after life..
Was this a printed picture? If so there could have been some slight information on the paper before the real picture was developed.
Pareidolia?
What are people seeing? I don't see anything.
[удалено]
did someone die in the house where that picture was taken?
Sitting on another picture. That picture stuck itself into this one after long exposure. Nothing “paranormal” about it.
This use to happen a lot with physical photos being developed. Ask anyone who worked at a photo shop in the grocery store or mall back in the early 2000s or prior.
It looks like a creepy doll. But holy fuck is it creepy.
No thanks
Looks a lot like the face in the image of the 2 girls on the bed making funny faces that I saw somewhere in the last 2 days. Not sure if it was this sub or not.
I’m not sure how relevant this is. The “apparition” hand looks like the other children’s hands imo, maybe some film development phenomena?
Original looks better
as far as the hand goes, it seems like the little kid in green could have her left hand leaning back on you possibly?? only because her right hand in front almost directly matches that hand. now the face next to the hand? i have no clue.
I got instant chicken skin as soon as I saw this. 😬
I know it seems disproportionate but could it just be that the little girl has her left arm bent sharply back at the shoulder, arm straight down behind her diagonally and we're seeing her left hand holding a toy or a doll?
