OK, Stop. Just stop.

I've just had to trawl through 8 pages of this thread, not because it was gripping and intellectual, but because I am addicted to the facepalming that goes along with people trying to rebut what is obviously common sense, and clearly outlined by people with experience.

Here's a tip. When you make a post like this, it's a good contribution to ATS. People can use their experience to share knowledge with others. but when you continually rebut common sense because the answer isn't as fanciful as you'd hoped, that's when you're teetering on the edge of being put in the Hoax folder.

Just for the record - I do not believe that the kid in the background was running into the picture. He is leaning forward, as if to make sure he is 'in shot', and is posing with a smile on his face. nothing about him, his clothing, his expression or his hair suggests he is running.

On behalf of most people reading this thread, I will say it sounds like you weren't happy with the suggestions of others that the solution was a minor (and very common) photographic issue, and tried to embellish a little by claiming the other child was running (you repeatedly used capitals! He was RUNNING!). And then as 'further proof' of his running, you were able to recall that he tripped over after the photo was taken. Out of the 'lots' of photos taken that night, you recall he fell over after this one. But I don't buy it. He is clearly standing there posing. I don't need to hear you try to convince me otherwise - I honestly don't care. There is nothing surprising about this photo, there is no relevance to birthmarks or imaginary friends. He is not a ghost kid, nor is he transparent. You can go back to your everyday life knowing that you and this child are perfectly normal.

You say you just wanted people to comment, but you didn't. I know this because when numerous people with cumulative years of experience told you what was going on, you kept adding to the story and asking for second, third, fourth opinions.

Please, please, please let this thread die now. This is ridiculous.

Interesting theories. Still theories none-the-less. The boy is obviously other-wordly, shifting in and out of this D.mension. We could learn much from this boy, maybe even time travel....

Yes. Just let this post die.

I've scanned through all the pages because I thought it was interesting, but it seems like everyone is not contented with the comments.

I have a picture where I'm see through also. I was standing still in front of a fountain. I have also taken a picture of my son sitting still on the couch and he's see through on the pic also. I don't think that this is just some photographic anomoly or some photographer trick.

I think theres a lot about our environment and ourselves that we don't understand. Doesn't mean it's supernatural, but just something science has yet to discover or research. As for the photographers saying the op's pic is just a normal photo trick, I think they are wrong. Maybe the see through people or things have energy that is moving differently compared to the rest of the images in a picture. Maybe our cameras capture these anomolies from time to time.

HAHAHAHAHA....wow. Do some people really not know how a slow shutter speed can affect a picture? This is completely ridiculous.

Ive seen this exact photo and query on at least two other unrelated Paranormal sites/ forums.

...I'm talking going back at least one to two years ago...
