Creepy things caught in photos

[TheVat]

Well, at least for you. For many people like me being duped would be no big deal. The prank gets exposed and we all have a laugh and life goes on. Always being afraid that people are duping you on the other hand? That sounds like a very stressful and anxious life. But whatever floats your boat.

Another day, another strawman.

Yet, when your content here gets exposed and everyone has a laugh, you continue to push the content long after the exposure. Seems more you refuse to believe you've been duped for reasons unknown.

"Do as I say, not as I do." T'was ever thus.

Really? So when did that happen?

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

It happened on a river in Egypt.

In almost every thread you started which contained such content.

He's a clown. This is all an act he puts on. He's been pushing every kind of pseudoscientific nonsense on this forum for years. We have taught him what he needs to do to think critically. Nobody could actually be so stupid as to not have learned anything in all that time.

The only reasonable conclusion to draw is that Magical Realist is just clowning around. He's a troll who is pretending like he's the village idiot. To keep up the act, he will ignore information he is given, he will tell outright lies and he will just make stuff up and pretend it's established fact. He selectively responds to posts, ignoring all the parts that threaten to back him into an intellectual corner that reveals his deliberate trolling. Whenever he is backed into a dead end line of argument that makes him look even more stupid and gullible than usual, he typically drops the current subject of discussion and tries to start from scratch with an entirely different, unrelated case of somebody reporting a sighting of a ghost, bigfoot, the yeti, an alien spacecraft, an invisible man, a fairy, a unicorn, the Loch Ness Monster, or whatever.

LOL Poor James. Always reduced to piddly flaming of me when he has no argument left against my evidence. The usual schoolyard name-calling: "clown", "troll", "village idiot", "stupid", "gullible". It would merit response were it not so terribly monotonous. .

More fallacious reasoning from you. Hypothetically, it could be that I am as stupid as you like to pretend you are. There could be a thousand faked ghost photos out there that I don't have the competence to debunk.

So how do you know a photo you can't debunk is nevertheless fake? And what's the point of trying to debunk it if you already just know that it's fake?

We don't have to prove it's not real, you have to prove it's real.

This is quite a famous photo that has made the rounds on the internet for many years now. To this day it has not been debunked or admitted to be a hoax. A common explanation is that there was possibly some random man behind her at the picnic she was then attending. But you'll notice that the man's image is too high up to be someone actually standing there. He would literally have to be around 8 feet tall! And the resemblance to her husband is uncanny. It was immediately recognized years later by her daughter who took it.

"Somehow this lady's husband managed to appear in this photo despite passing away 12 years before.

Denise Russell took this photo of her grandma, who lived alone at the time, on 17 August 1997.

Even though the photo had been developed, copied and given to other family members, nobody noticed the male figure standing over her until Christmas Day 2000. The Russell family say it's a spitting image of their grandpa who died in 1984."

Here's a photo of her husband when he was alive:

So?

It's funny that you ask for one when my last response made adequate a charge.

A red flag for me is the fact that no one noticed the male figure, yet he is obviously noticeable within seconds of looking at the photo.

Eight feet tall?? How do you know it's not a short guy standing on one of the chairs?

Even the lighting looks off between the woman and man, his face is lit up more than hers yet they are both facing in the same direction hence getting the same sun.

Spitting image? The mans face is clearly blurred beyond recognition and could be any old thin white guy with a beard. How many of those are there in the world?

I want to play poker with you and an unlimited pot.

Can't name one then? That's what I thought...

You are living up to your oxymoron.

Actually that argues in favor of it not being a hoax. A hoax would've been shared right away.

What chair?

Even the lighting looks off between the woman and man, his face is lit up more than hers yet they are both facing in the same direction hence getting the same sun.

The lighting on the man is exactly what it'd be if he was in the direct sun. The woman appears to be shaded somewhat, perhaps under some tent cover. It was a nursing home picnic.

Yep...we can tell by the photos. The daughter recognized him immediately.

Please see an Optometrist, you appear to be legally blind.

I've named many but you don't appear to understand English. Second language, perhaps?

No I don't.

No he wouldn't.

And the resemblance to her husband is uncanny.

No it's not.

And the shadowing on man's face/neck matches that on background objects, which points to him being a real person who interacts with photons as real physical objects do.

You got bupkes.
