“”Thanks for your interest about my photo.i took it in Berlin, Germany at Christmas of 2004.The place was the Check Point Charlie ,the only road point between west and east berlin.
In memory of this fact they have a similar point and they are 3 soldiers –as it was in the past- an American ,a French and an English and you can take a picture, so my wife asked me to took her a picture. when I took the picture I didn’t see anything unusual but when I saw later the photos I was surprised from the appereance of this man.i also surprised because my monitor on the camera is lcd and if you try to see the photos in a different angle you cant see anything-it happens to all cameras-but in this photo you can see the face of this man in every angle.”

Are there in fact digital cameras that still do the red light time stamp as some 35mm cameras used to? It seems redundant to the Date/Time stamp on the file saved by the camera.
October 30, 2011 at 5:19 pm |
Yes, all of them. At least all of the compact kind.
April 28, 2009 at 4:05 pm |
As a follow-up, it appears that the man could be a large portrait on the back interior wall of the checkpoint – there’s a solid black square around him. Can anyone recognize him as some sort of political figure of note?

LMAO MCAIN

A friend took pictures of Checkpoint Charlie and Indeed that portrait is on the wall. Not sure who it is but it is seen in many of the pictures she had taken.
April 28, 2009 at 4:30 pm |
Hey – guess what? It IS a large portrait inside.
http://thedoctoratlantisshow.blogspot.com/2009/04/check-point-charlie-ghost-nah.html
I found a similar shot from another photographer and it shows this is in fact a photo in the window getting a weird illumination from the camera flash.
April 28, 2009 at 4:33 pm |
Correction – it may be a painting. EVEN better photo showing it.
April 28, 2009 at 5:44 pm |
Here’s a daytime photo with the painting and a group:
April 28, 2009 at 6:55 pm |
Nice. Very good photo find.
Hey – I see you on slashdot, but what’s your twitter handle? Or do you not do twitter?
April 29, 2009 at 3:18 pm |
It’s a portrait of Rainer Hildebrandt who was the man that founded the Checkpoint Charlie museum – and also helped many East Germans across the wall.
It is a large photograph of him, kept inside the “guards’ box” as a tribute to him.
September 15, 2011 at 12:45 pm |
yes this is what it is its clearly a photo of RM
Paul From
short breaks to paris cheap hotel in paris.
April 30, 2009 at 2:33 pm |
That’s right RM. I got same confirmed from the museum this morning.
—————————————————————————
Thank you for your email from April 28, 2009.
Yes, the painting in the guard house shows Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt, the founder of the Mauermuseum – Museum am Checkpoint Charlie.

ghosts are pale with no color
February 12, 2011 at 8:45 am |
Ghosts aren’t real.
FTFY
December 6, 2013 at 4:41 am
Get lost then if that’s what you believe. What are you even doing here?
February 3, 2014 at 12:02 am |
That’s Victorian stage effects, pale colours showed up better. Hence the semi-transparent sheet over the head thing
May 17, 2009 at 9:57 pm |
its a pic of steve martin isnt it
October 11, 2011 at 3:02 pm |
No its Malcolm Mcdowell.
May 20, 2009 at 6:27 am |
ian how the hell do you know what a ghost looks like? you watched ghostbusters?
bless!
photoshopped. and its some famous dude, i kinda recognize him
May 20, 2009 at 11:51 am |
monkey boy did you ever hear the phrase”white as a ghost?” If your dead, you probably have no color, and therefore will be “pale.” Thanks
September 15, 2009 at 1:06 pm |
He looks an awful lot like the actor Terence Stamp:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm934578688/nm0000654
that’s who I initially thought it was!! lol
May 22, 2009 at 7:01 am |
You can see it is a Picture on the back wall, no way is this paranormal, sorry!
May 25, 2009 at 1:11 pm |
he looks like legend johnny cash
June 11, 2009 at 1:22 am |
lol floatin’ head
June 18, 2009 at 2:12 pm |
ian what if you were burned alive? think out side the box, mate. he looks like the album cover of a 1970s singer
June 19, 2009 at 10:40 pm |
monkey boy, burned skin turns white. I read that somewhere…
July 2, 2009 at 5:28 pm |
im sure its a picture behind it
July 7, 2009 at 5:13 pm |
we say ther is a picture because of the rarity of somthing like that.
July 7, 2009 at 10:31 pm |
Sir, stop mistake the people! There is no spirits!
July 11, 2009 at 4:58 pm |
The reason you can see his face from all angles on your LCD screen is because it is so much brighter than the rest of the faces.
August 21, 2009 at 6:06 pm |
That’s just plain weird .
August 21, 2009 at 7:00 pm |
that is a poster of Malcom Mcdowell off Heroes tv series
August 21, 2009 at 7:03 pm |
Thats Malcom Mc.Dowell off the TV Series Heroes!
August 26, 2009 at 8:26 pm |
His Cid Moreira, from Brazil.
August 31, 2009 at 4:45 pm |
Photoshop…

It’s a picture.
October 22, 2009 at 3:12 pm |
You guys should really read the entire response list before making posts lol.
It has been DEBUNKED. It’s a huge portrait of the guy who founded the place.
October 23, 2009 at 3:59 am |
Thats no ghost……… Thats John McCain!
October 30, 2009 at 10:24 pm |
lol John McCain… it looks like a photo behind them… no ghost! smile John!
November 2, 2009 at 1:57 pm |
“also surprised because my monitor on the camera is lcd and if you try to see the photos in a different angle you cant see anything-it happens to all cameras-but in this photo you can see the face of this man in every angle”
That won’t surprise anyone familiar with LCD displays
November 30, 2009 at 1:52 pm |
some people have no clue how to read. As Dean has already said… its not a ghost, its not Terence Stamp, Steve Martin or Malcolm McDowell. Its not a photoshop either. Its a painting of the man who discovered the building. Simples!
May 19, 2010 at 4:34 am |
Esse ai e o Cid Moreira .
Ele tinha q esta Narrando.
June 4, 2010 at 4:43 am |
HAAAAAAA! That’s just a stupid picture. Just like to trick people, huh?
June 6, 2010 at 4:40 pm |
this ghost is the face of the famous Brazilian journalist cid moreira
June 27, 2010 at 6:39 pm |
_|_
July 21, 2010 at 3:25 pm |
well this hasn’t been photoshopped at all, That’s because it’s definitely a poster
July 21, 2010 at 3:26 pm |
even has a square shape to the background, It’s a poster on the window, 100% i assure you
August 25, 2010 at 5:02 pm |
Geesh. This picture shouldn’t even be posted here. Obviously a painting. That’s the first thing I thought. I believe in the paranormal but this picture is just utter waste of time.
October 3, 2010 at 5:15 am |
I tend to doubt the veracity of the backstory itself; as the man retelling it (as the original photographer and participant) does not even realize that these soldiers are French, Soviet, and American. I’m not aware of a time when the British military issued Red Star pips.
As for the elderly gent in the office- well THAT’S CHARLIE!
(I’m actually inclined to go with the political portrait theory- possibly East German big-wig… color, lighting, facial definition- much too refined)
December 29, 2010 at 4:52 pm |
aiuhauhauhauhauhauhauhauah…hahahahahahahhaaa
FULL PHOTOSHOPED
January 5, 2011 at 1:22 am |
did you know “Cid Moreira”?
search him.
January 14, 2011 at 1:19 am |
Are you kidding me? It’s a God-damn painting.
January 24, 2011 at 4:58 pm |
Looks like a poster
January 28, 2011 at 5:11 pm |
Definately a framed picture on the wall. A real spirit would not have shown up more clearly than the actual live people in the room!
March 20, 2011 at 7:32 pm |
Badly photoshopped Tom Jones
March 22, 2011 at 4:29 am |
Its obviously a picture of Ernest Borgnine *LOL*
March 22, 2011 at 12:30 pm |
So we’re just pretty much calling anything a ghost now, eh?
It’s a portrait. And fairly obvious if you ask anyone.
March 27, 2011 at 11:04 pm |
Benjamin Parker ? :-p
April 26, 2011 at 8:05 pm |

June 7, 2011 at 5:15 am |

Also set aside the solid oxygen fresheners and perfumed candle lighting. Purchase some flowers and fruits to maintain the surroundings within refreshing and comforting. Opt for more natural and lighter place fresheners for your milder atmosphere. The heavier aromas are good exclusively for the darker winter months.|
