Could This Be A Real Ghost Child ? You Decide

Whilst doing the morning school run, I picked up a copy of the Metro (free newspaper in England on buses, and train stations) its a great read, and a fantastic substitute for the mainstream papers IMO. Anyway I found this article which I wanted to share with you all, as I don't think it has been saturated yet by the media channels.



The article itself appeared quite down to eath, and not sinister, even admitting to having deleted one photo because they saw a halo in the pic.

Link to the article www.metro.co.uk... s-with-ghosts-and-weve-got-the-picture-to-prove-it

As you can imagine after having seen so many speculated paranormal stories over the years I honnestly have no idea whether this is any more tangible than anything else ever reported, or if this is just another hoax.

So ATSers I throw it open to you, what do you think ? Photoshopped ? Hoax ? or could this be the real deal ? really interested to hear your thoughts

That's pretty cool. Someone will be on here soon to debunk it though.

It's a 100% Fake.

See this image from a ghost application: www.macenstein.com...

Notice the similarity from one of the "ghosts" from the above link (The one to the left of the boy with the arrow above his head - Not my image btw, I didn't put the arrow there) and the picture from the newspaper? It's the exact same.

EDIT TO ADD: This isn't the first time a newspaper has been fooled by this application also.

Photoshop..

It’s a shame she deleted the other photo of the boys with the halo around them.
That is a very beautiful snap shot, the child ghost is in period style clothing and I think he looks fantastic.

I love this photo, thank you for posting.

Love and Harmony

Yeah, but thats ok, I am literaly throwing this out there to see how it is perceived, if I had seen this in The Sun I would have been a bit like mmmm yeah here we go again, although thats not to say the Metro is any better, just that to me it is a good paper it covers news at a national level, and dedicates space for a science article once a week, mostly space orientated.

Glad you liked the image

OMG yeah youre right, it is exactly the same, wow maybe I should let the paper know

Thanks fo posting, everybody have a look at this because it is the same pic

Can you move the arrow directly over the image more because its pointing at the kid with the hat on at the moment thank you

I just found this link. It's an April fools day joke apparently.

Please see my above post also. It's undoubtedly a 100% fake.

BOOOOOO!

You could be right, the little ghost boy does look similar to the one in your post.
im assuming you meant to put the arrow on the smaller child and not the taller one with the hat.

I'll go with my gut on this one and say it's the real thing.

See my above 2 posts.

No, It's not my image. I found it on google.

It's just an image showing all the available "ghosts" for use.

Oh that is even better especially as this was in today's edition today being the 5TH lmao well done you

reading the comments posted beneath the article.... iphone application.....

If you read the comments at the Metro site the people who they said took the picture came on to say they DID NOT take that picture and it is from a ghost app on the phone. fake

Me being a Photoshop genius came to this:

Look at the squarish structure of the "ghosts" head. You have the hair, the face etc...But look at the left side of the hair It is perfectly vertical and notice on the right side of the head...What the heck is the grayish rectangle coming out of his cranium?

Photoshop tutorial:

1. Get 2 images
2. take the ghost out of the image using crop
3. Paste it into the room using another layer and only making the outline visible

:HOAX:

Want to pretend like you took a picture of a ghost and fool hundreds of idiots? Theres an app for that.
