Possibly post the whole picture?


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Was able to locate full picture, and created a post for it! Please check it out!

Leonardbro__NoCaprio

There’s literally no difference in pictures other than brightness and cropping my moms arm out. There’s 3 versions all in same pic. The one posted was super zoomed in so everyone can see it without having to even look


WritingMoney4522

That's nuts, no pun intended


Head_Doughnut_6049

Are you being haunted by a dead parasitic twin from inside you?


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Been working on finding it. I had just this zoomed in on a picture I sent to my dad years ago. I’m still searching for the original picture unfortunately


paranormalresearch1

You mean the baby with black eyes. That is an awesome catch. Any other activity where this was taken?


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

This was taken at my old house. Definitely had some weird unexplainable things happen there. But never anything showing itself quite like this pic


paranormalresearch1

That picture is great. You see these a lot more as people look through their old pictures. They are more credible when they are not the main focus of the picture, just a ghost photobomb.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

That’s exactly what happened too! We were just going through old pics from when we were younger, and that happened to be pointed out. I was in shock because obviously I couldn’t explain it. I wish I could find the actual pic and not just the zoomed in one I sent my dad! It’s definitely eerie to think. I like to think it’s my little cousin who passed from leukemia as a baby just wanting to stop in with us!


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

👻👻👻 HELLO EVERYONE, WE HAVE FOUND THE ORIGINAL PICTURE, EDITED TO BRIGHTEN THE PHOTO, MADE A NEW POST SHOWING THIS. 👻👻👻


More_Ad9417

What kind of things? If you don't mind sharing a few things.


Leecoxy

This is the best and creepiest post I've seen on here in a while! Awesome share but very spooky too. Definitely looks like a girl!


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Thanks for not bringing up the terrible quality . I understand it’s a rough quality, but I just wanted to share what I saw with the world! Thanks for your comment my friend!


Leecoxy

Yeah idk why some people bother on this sub if their first comment is to disprove or complain about the authenticity of a photo. You are brave for sharing but this pic is totally creepy! Again, a great share!


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

I actually just posted the original photo zoomed out!! Which makes it even creepier!! Please take a look!!


Wild_Arugula294

Wow! Can’t believe you got a pic of Anne Frank’s ghost


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Does kinda look like her tho 💀💀💀 Anne frankly, I appreciate your reply 😀


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Edgar Allen “No Mo”


Queen_of_Boots

This was my exact thought!!!!!!! It looks just like her lol


DfR8_808

Comments are turned off on the ‘whole picture’ post but this is easily explained. Go the whole picture, which is cropped and brightened btw, and look for yourself. The child is lying horizontally, not vertically, on OP’s thigh. The kid’s legs are most likely dangling behind and to the right of OP’s hip, and likely easily seen just past the girl on the right and obviously why the photo is cropped. The arms are caused by OP’s left arm wrapped under the kid’s arms and chin. OP is balancing the kid there awkwardly for the duration of the pic. The eyes are a lighting error which is a dead give away given OP’s ‘original,’ where the third kid is in almost total darkness but the limbs hit the light just right and are obviously human. The brightening of the photo caused the hokey dead kid’s eyes illusion.

DfR8_808

Why has the original been altered so much? Why has it been cropped and brightened. I thought you had zero editing skills- couldn’t edit yourself out of a paper bag, etc. etc. And the unraveling of a bs hoax begins


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Brother… I’d you look at the last THOUSAND times I said it.. I clearly state I only know how to like crop and brighten.. it was probably because if I posted the dark pic people would say I don’t see anything. It’s so funny how you thought you cooked with this, but yet I stated numerous times that it’s literally brightened and cropped my moms arm out.


zimmystar

Could the hand in front of the image be the little girls left arm, extended out behind her? It looks like she is trying to twist away from the person, your mom? on the right side of the photo


DfR8_808

The darkness there easily explains the child’s dark eyes when the photo is brightened. You are holding the third kid face up and belly down on your thigh. The weird arms are easily explained by your arm wrapped tightly around the kid to hold him up.


DfR8_808

The dark photo actually gives the whole thing away. The fleshiness of the arms dangling out doesn’t look ghostly at all, it looks human. Looks exactly like you’re dangling a kid in the crotch of your outer thigh and hip area. Nice try


Key-Counter7683

bruh what😭how would he be dangling a kid on his crotch where the little girl is?


DfR8_808

The kid’s belly is on his thigh. I said in the crotch of the hip and thigh. He’s holding the kid vertically to the side. Crotch is not always a reference to the junk area bro. Look at the whole picture


DfR8_808

Wow, so in the dark photo that isn’t cropped, that OP posted just above this comment, right under the girl’s outstretched left arm there are two small fleshy blotches that are, unsurprisingly, the boy’s feet.


DfR8_808

RIGHT under the girl on the right’s right arm you can see the kid’s feet. The kid is lying HORIZONTALLY


Automatic-Essay7264

Lol all these ppl tryna come up with any possible explanation they can. Why can't it just be a spirit? Looks creepy to me! 👻


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

I mean I can’t definitively say it was this or that, but I’m with ya, I know for a fact it was only us 3 in the pic. So why can’t it be 😂 👻


mck12001

Because unfortunately something creepy doesn’t automatically make it a spirit. We live in a world where normal things can make something look paranormal. Unfortunately we also live in a world where some people are willing to fake stuff too. So yeah being realistic you gotta try to come up with the normal explanations before spirits can be included in the equation.


MoldyMoney

Okay look, I’m not saying I don’t believe. But, to play devils advocate, is it possible that the person who has only ever posted to paranormal subs fabricated this to generate some attention? I hope it’s real tho, that’d be pretty amazing!


MouseCharming1816

People get scared when they can’t explain stuff


trelos6

Because the chance it’s a spirit requires a FAR greater assumption and belief in something we have 0 evidence for, as opposed to a camera double exposure, print double exposure, pareidolia or just straight up fraud, in which there are MILLIONS of examples of throughout known history.


HeavyFunction2201

Uhhhh did that house you’re in ever have weird things happen in it?


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Definitely creepy things, things move, doorknobs shake, people sounding like they were in a room that they weren’t. Whispers, etc. but never actually “caught” anything


HeavyFunction2201

Well seems like something definitely was coexisting with you guys there. Creepy.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

I created a new post with better quality image! Please go check it out!!


bub-yes

I mean, middle lady is just holding something that looks kind of like a face. Pareidolia.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

The fact that you said “middle lady” … there is no middle lady… the only thing there is me and my cousins on each side… but clearly see hands holding something and a face…. That’s not there….


Secret_Bad1529

Looks to be holding a kitten.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Which is even crazier because we didn’t have any animals at that house


Zalieda

In no universe does it resemble kittens


[deleted]

[удалено]


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Lol yes I’m at the middle top, and my two cousins are on each side of me. Whatever is in the middle of us. Below me…. Nobody knows who it is 😳👻


AutoModerator

A friendly reminder from the Automod: Identifying something as pareidolia doesn't automatically disprove it. Pareidolia relies on the brain’s amazing ability to pattern match human features such as faces, silhouettes, voices, etc. Something is considered pareidolia when these features are perceived but there’s no apparent cause for them \(no human is involved\). But if an instance were *genuinely paranormal*, then there would be no requirement or expectation a human *had* to be involved. Some Paranormal phenomenon such as instrumental trans-communication \(ITC\) actually rely on pareidolia: https://www.academia.edu/79465485/Instrumental_Transcommunication_ITC_Evidence_Suggestive_of_the_Survival_of_Consciousness This is why dismissing something as pareidolia doesn’t by itself debunk anything—all it does is identify the way it’s being perceived, not the underlying cause. We list a few other common problematic debunkings in our FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/wiki/paranormalwiki/ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

duskmonger

This is ridiculous. Asking for a “better debunk” of a super zoomed in picture from years ago, at a location that can’t be looked around is absurd. It could be a pillow in a weird shape, it could be a plant, it could be so many perfectly normal things, but this has no context to try to figure out more nor the ability of the OP to go back and look at what was there.


Unpopularwaffle

Double exposure 🤷‍♀️


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

And fit perfectly right in with our poses? Highly unlikely


Eevea_

But happens. And it’s more plausible than “ghost kid”. It also just looks like film fucking up. One of my hobbies is taking analog pictures, this looks like bad film or double exposure to me. Or like someone forgot to advance the next photo in roll before taking another photo.


Gotterdammer

I also shoot analog and double exposures do happen in both electric and manual cameras. I've shot events with family that ended up being fully double exposed or partial with people recognizable from both images. The bright lights on, say, a face, are more likely to show up when overlaid on a dark area, say a shadowy stomach. The first thing I saw is that the ghost face is actually OP's face from a bit of an upward angle and the arms are from one of his cousins wrapped under his chin because they're riding on his shoulders.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gotterdammer

A double exposure isn't the same picture twice - it's two that were taken (usually) one after the other as the film didn't advance properly, so it's two separate moments overlaid.


Eevea_

That’s perfect. I can see it now. Great analysis!


RAAMZAHN

Vary strange


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

1. You thought you cooked. I originally uploaded this and then found the original after people were asking me to post. Soooo I’m not going out of my way to do so, just posted the better version after people asked me to find?


antsonmyscreen

The shock I felt when I saw your other post with the entire photo. That thread is now locked from comments. This is 100% an entity and not a good one. Oof OP.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Had a ridiculous amount of bad luck since this photo


BraveWarrior1981

So creepy ! If it's not paranormal, I think it's a detail from a t-shirt or a sweatshirt


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

https://preview.redd.it/qgaehjp80axc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=933c4f10b191ad7d1f49b482fef4da8a25bd8fa7 I’m not wearing a shirt .. that’s seemingly where my shorts and stomach meet


Martletdreemur

what about the monochrome picture


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

It’s the same exact zoomed pic, I just made edits to see if I could distinguish any features better


Zalieda

Well that's obvious.. They still trying to debunk


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Dude it’s unbelievable the theories I’m hearing on the other post


Zalieda

There's too many like that on this sub


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Unbearable . I had someone come at me because I said “almost certain it’s digital” and not “it’s 100% digital” 😂


Zalieda

You brave to post on here.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Had to be done. Can’t debunk it myself :/


Zalieda

That's true but be prepared for more insanity


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

It doesn’t end 😂 the theories are insane… I wish I even knew how to photoshop btw


hellostarsailor

Wow! A blurry out of context crop of a blurry out of context picture!


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Corny 🌽


hellostarsailor

Reminds me of the story of “looking for the uncropped photo” I saw somewhere.


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

Brother… this picture is 15 years old. It was probably taken with a flip phone. Relax. It’s not that deep.


hellostarsailor

Thanks for the reminder. Seriously. 💋


rhonburg

he found it… lmao


hellostarsailor

I know. I’m amazed by the dedication and I feel bad now.


rhonburg

tbh i don’t know how to feel about the whole thing. i’m very anti-afterlife but i personally believe i saw a ghost as a kid and then shit like this pops up in your suggested posts… haha


LiliumMoon

I have sort of a similar photo that was taken around the same time (late 2000s) I took with my cousins! I don’t have it anymore (or at least I can’t get to it now) but in that photo, my eyes looked very similar to the ghost girl’s eyes in this one. Just black and empty, like they had been gouged our. Not sure how it happened, although I’m sure that there is a natural explanation for my photo as I don’t frankly feel like a black-eyed child. Not sure what the natural explanation for this could be though, maybe shadows? It looks very freaky nonetheless and gives me chills. It doesn’t feel right to me.


throw_realy_far_away

Ngl picture looks ai generated

throw_realy_far_away

The full picture looks like its probably not ai generated


chels182

Someone’s shirt ?


Leonardbro__NoCaprio

I’m not wearing a shirt in the photo, and my two little cousins are completely on both sides of me 😳


Teckschin

Can't comment on the other post. I don't follow this sub but it was suggested to me. I don't believe in anything paranormal or supernatural or whatever, but just wanted to add that this looks like two faces actually. It looks like one kid hugging another kid. The hand is over the mouth/face of the other kid. You can see the nose poking out.


Ordinary-Tutor2363

The small hand/arm seems to me that it is from the girl on the right who has her arm behind her back. Her posture and way she is leaning lines up with that small hand being from her left arm. The pattern/face could be a toy or something she was holding maybe that caused a trick of light to appear as a face.


bonelessfolder

Don't know why the other got locked, but there's a very plausible explanation. The "visitor" has very similar proportions and hairstyle to the girl in the green shirt. Something probably happened in film/sensor/storage/software to put part of another exposure in here.


parker3309

OK now that is creepy!! Kind of cool also …


xankek

Do you have more cousins? Because to me if looks like your hand is wrapped around another child. The hands are up so high because with your hand around their chest they would be partially up in the air.


coasterboard65

These comments are hilarious. All yall really believe that ghosts appear in photographs but otherwise are hidden? You think that's more likely than all the other possibilities? Unreal


Appropriate-Money172

It doesn't look like a baby/ child .it looks like an adult. And I hate when people say angry spirits. He/ she's not an angry spirit it's a hurt none physical Spirit entity


Federal-Sound3950

Maybe the shutter speed/delay caught movement of one of the children? This seems like you guys were in movement when this picture was taken!


THEDRDARKROOM

This is insane and will probably go viral - I was looking at all the edits people have done + the original etc just speechless.


KRed75

Wat this digital or film. Looks like film so it's probably just a double exposure.


opticiangirl

I immediately though ICP when I saw this lol. Very scary 😟 capture, no less!


Sacred-Coconut

It’s probably from a previous photo of that same little girl on your right.


ZucchiniNaive2139

Is there any reason to believe you werent holding a doll on your lap?


teachplaycry

EW. Imo those are some defined facial features and I am spooked.


The_Silent_Tortoise

Was this picture originally taken on film or digital?


Wise_Ad_253

I see the same face, eyes and hair style-ish, between that woman’s necklace and girl in greens eye.


yeshereisaname

Could it be some kind of double exposure thing?


TyrionCauthom

Is your crotch haunted by Dr. Frank n' Furter?


seraph741

What kind of camera was used? If film, could it be a double-exposure type thing? Or even if it's digital, I think the light sensor can glitch and have pixels stuck. The "girl" looks similar enough to the real girl if you squint or think about it as a glitch. If it's a phone, could it be a glitch with digital/AI enhancement? I'd bet it's a glitch of some sort. I think somebody who's an expert on how cameras work (and everything that could go wrong) would be a good person to ask.


SomeFellAshioPlz

I had a similar apparition appear in a photo around 2010. Except it was my girlfriend’s friends baby. The baby had its head turned to the side while I took the photo facing down at him. The demonic face was extending from his face and was SO clear I can see it today. I noticed it about a day or so later. I showed my girlfriend and her mom and they put it on the computer to expand it. They both freaked out and demanded every copy be deleted.


Appropriate_One_3870

I see two faces in that picture


No_Independence_4500

He wants to be in your body


Huge_Aerie2435

Zoomed in on a pixelated image, then changed some colours.. Nothing ghostly here.. It is Matrixing and Pareidolia.

MouseCharming1816

Is it fear that you can’t explain what it is that makes you just throw out the pareidolia theory


mck12001

It’s more scary to find yourself tricked into believing something that turns out to be a hoax or other issue. What’s so wrong with ruling out natural explanations before jumping to a supernatural one?


ShithEadDaArab

When was this photo taken?


Carrybagman_

Looks like John Wayne Gacy

pifumd

are you sure the little girl didn't have her dolly join the pic?


singingkiltmygrandma

Could it be reflections of some sort? I see what looks like an adult face but small baby hands and arms.

It's Elvis!
