[warning!] Easy, Do-It-Yourself Ghost

The purpose of this thread is to inform ATS members that we may see a few of these pop us and try and deceive us in the not to distant future.

This website i will point you at hit the front page of Digg, in turn that exposure normally dominoes into other similar sites and before we know it, we will have people doing this and passing them off as ghosts soon and in turn we could potentially see them here.

It's rather quite simple to get this effect...

Easy, Do-It-Yourself Ghost

Today is a good time as any to scare your friends. And here’s a new trick on how to get a few good screams. You simply need the fence you would normally use around your house. This should be easy to shape and stand up on its own. Now simply follow the pictures, shaping is the easy part. Whenever on a picnic, fishing or hiking, you can place your ghost in the forest and wait for the effect!

Just a heads up fellow ATS lovers.

Good thinking posting this here. the faster we spot the fakes the easier it will be for people to respect any real evidence that comes along

it is pretty easy to spot that it is fabricated - even if you do not know what the ` trick ` is

i sent the top image to a mate who is not on ATS and

his opinion - withn 5 minuites was :

i dont think thats a ghost - it looks more like a sculture or art exhibit , was it made from those polycarbonate roda and balls they use to make moecule models ?

this tupe of thing is what he was getting at



granted that a photo produced with this technique - would be free of any PS finger print - but to prevent an investigator concluding that it was artifical - you would have to PS the crap out of it - which is pretty self defeating

If you took a picture of a chicken wire ghost from a distance at a high resolution then shrunk it down, even with tons of image enhancement would you be able to pick out thats what its made of?
