Ghostly photographs from Hauntings 
April 7, 2009 at 12:20 pm |
Bullshit… its flash da cam…
April 7, 2009 at 1:15 pm |
Yeah but still.. how come a flash can turn a smiling blond haired guy into this ?.. And why only on the face and the whole face ?
November 8, 2011 at 2:03 pm |
Because it’s directly opposite the flash, where the light is brightest. Try it out for yourself if you don’t believe it.
April 7, 2009 at 2:39 pm |
This is a very strange phenomenon that would be hard to explain. And thanks Gaet for asking the good question. WHY only on the face? Why not the all body? Why only him? I mean, that’s obvious… We are Not Aloneee…

I think it’s Photoshopped. The “ghostly” head doesn’t exactly fit on the neck of the poster and you can slightly see the original forehead on the left through the transparent part.

It is merely a reflection caused by the camera flash, this phenomenon usually happens on prints that use glossy ink. It is not a ghost, but good try!

Another scary observation, the two people in the photo have red eyes!! Aaarrgghh… The camera has no red-eye reduction! Nice effect!
April 8, 2009 at 2:25 am |
Mmmmm, Dont think so.
April 8, 2009 at 4:53 pm |
The poster uses glossy black ink, which reflects the flash. The camera is in a position where the flash is pointed directly at the man in the poster, so light flashes straight back. But the other people in the poster are at an angle to the flash, so the light bounces away, rather than back.
Neat effect, though!

ha! job done.
April 9, 2009 at 8:03 pm |
I totally agree with Gronti.
You can try it out with any glossy image and the flash will manipulate whatever it is directly pointed at and in this case produced almost a negative of the image.
April 15, 2009 at 2:18 pm |
Well done. You’re smart.
April 11, 2009 at 10:35 am |
I think the picture is just a photo trick.
April 11, 2009 at 10:37 am |
What the hell is this picture! It is just a muppet picture!
April 13, 2009 at 3:22 pm |
dodge tool

Looks like a plastic advertising sign that is backlit, the light has faded the ink so now it is showing through. I am sure it looked freaky so that is why they are posing in front of it.
April 16, 2009 at 7:24 am |
It looks like one of your friends is off his head.
April 22, 2009 at 2:14 pm |
Is that Robbie Williams on the right?
April 22, 2009 at 5:33 pm |
The advertisement on the wall is made with a reflective paint. The flash hit it full-on, causing this effect.

CAN YOU SAY PHOTO SHOP!
May 13, 2009 at 11:04 am |
IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY CENTRALIZED FLASH REFLECTION TO ME.
May 31, 2009 at 3:51 am |
THE GHOST MAKE A JOKE WITH THEM.
June 2, 2009 at 9:05 am |
Faked or a flaw in the camera. I’ve seen such flaws before. Nothing is perfect. I wouldn’t belittle the person who took this picture but there is nothing spectral on this image. Almost a certainty.
June 16, 2009 at 3:25 pm |
freak out !
June 16, 2009 at 3:26 pm |
its as freaky as me in the morning!
June 30, 2009 at 5:18 am |
It also seems that the person on the right suffers from some sort of affliction that gives him scary orange skin. You should be more worried about that than prankster ghosts.
July 11, 2009 at 5:34 pm |
Flash reflecting in the black ink of the poster… happens sometimes.
July 25, 2009 at 11:44 am |
Hahahaha…Normall human hands and body but head of ghost…Someone have a good fun in Photoshop
August 21, 2009 at 5:26 pm |
I think it’s a real ghost replacing a persons head in the poster
September 24, 2009 at 11:37 am |
How dumb can one be not to realize it’s just the glossy ink reflecting back the flash?? Just hold a magazine page to a lamp… I mean really, people.
September 24, 2009 at 2:44 pm |
I think May pretty much summed it all up for me.
October 11, 2009 at 4:29 am |
The poster is probably advertising life insurance……..you know…”what if you were no longer in the picture” type thing.
November 2, 2009 at 2:29 pm |
It’s called a reflection. The coloured parts of the poster are in gloss to contrast with the matt background.
December 1, 2009 at 2:04 pm |
Precisely fixed flash so the reflection blurs out the actual poster face…nice try though!
April 12, 2010 at 9:16 am |
Could be a relection ,but I think it fake. Its no a young guy either its an older man. Maby a man was there looking at them and somehow a light reclection did this,but I dont think its a ghost. If it is then its a ghost with humor.
July 21, 2010 at 3:09 pm |
I’m an expert at photo shop and i can guarantee 100% this has been photo shopped
September 6, 2010 at 2:17 pm |
டேய் , ஒரு digital camera வாங்கிட்டா நீங்க என்ன ஒளருனாலும் நாங்க கேட்டுட்டு அலைவோம்ணு நினச்சீங்களா? இன்னொரு தடவ உங்கள இந்த பக்கம் பாத்தேன் . கொன்னு பொதச்சிடுவேன்.. MIND IT
October 3, 2010 at 11:14 pm |
Oh! We didn’t know this would turn out! That’s why we posed on either side of it, ya mooks…
October 30, 2010 at 9:06 pm |
“Reflection!!!”
December 30, 2010 at 4:36 am |
….its just where the flash happened to be centered. I don’t think there is anything photoshopped or paranormal about it.
January 4, 2011 at 8:15 pm |
I can make this kind of photo with cheap fix program, just use on the wall FIX-prog. and then you drag that circle over the place you want to be on the place you click. it looks 100% same
January 16, 2011 at 10:47 pm |
im an expert in photoshop im an A.C.E and i would say it has no sign of being fake, it should be obvious its a flash reflection as other posters have pointed out.
January 28, 2011 at 5:36 pm |
Ridiculous!
March 7, 2011 at 10:15 pm |
eu acho que um reflexo da luz do sol fez com que a cara do homem do cartaz não ficasse tão nítida
tens que admitir que tem tudo o que parece estranho é fantasmagórico
March 7, 2011 at 10:16 pm |
I think a reflection of sunlight caused the man’s face poster would not be so clear
you have to admit that anything that seems strange is spooky
August 5, 2011 at 7:29 pm |
the flash of your camera
August 30, 2011 at 1:11 am |
Very difficult to debunk, but it is somewhat strange Gaet what you pointed out… only the mans face and nothing else!
October 28, 2011 at 10:23 am |
Looks like Gordon Ramsey to me (Hell’s Kitchen)
October 28, 2011 at 11:22 am |

Its a flash glare
You can see the flash that was on the camra on the people
also this is a glossed poster
the “ghost” is the man in the middle of the poster
the ghost is also in the centre of the picture, so, it flash would be directed at his face
Sorry
December 15, 2011 at 7:30 pm |
Here is an explanation sir. Get a damn clue. Advertisement pictures are not related to this topic.
January 23, 2012 at 2:39 pm |
oh purrlease.photoshopped.NEXT!!
January 23, 2012 at 3:46 pm |
It would be interesting to see a second picture with the poster without the ghost.
February 4, 2012 at 10:19 pm |
the light was making it look like that.. a glare
May 2, 2014 at 10:30 am |
you have a smudge on your lens. If you look closely, you can almost make out the fingerprint blurring where the guy in the ad’s face would be
December 11, 2015 at 10:26 pm |
Stupid. That’s the flash from the camera. XD
December 31, 2016 at 6:31 am |
Don’t be crazy people, clearly there is a ghost head trapped in this advertising poster. Oh no wait anyone who thinks that is what’s going on here is crazy. Some people are so stupid.
