"My friend has been claiming for months that her house is haunted. Her husband took this pic a few days ago." There were only two people in the house when this picture was taken. It’s believed it shows the source of the couple's haunting.

Fact or Fiction? You Decide!

A Ghost Photo and an Expert

PictureThe photo in question.
On August 20th, 2013, Daniel Tanner spotted a strange ghostly image in one of his friends facebook photos. The photo is of his friend, posing with her dog while her husband takes the photo. However, in the background, is the image of a young girl/woman peering through a window (built into a door) looking out at them.

The woman in the photo had been claiming that house was haunted and it is believed the ghostly image is the source.

Tanner uploaded the photo to 'Reddit' to see if anyone could shed some light on the image and a photo analyses expert with 15 years experience responded with:

“1) The pixels are visually consistent throughout the image. This suggests no photo manipulation happened.

2) The image has a yellow overtone, but the anomaly appears to be transparent white and does not reflect the yellow hue of the rest of the photograph. HOWEVER, it is the same hue as the wall in the room.

3) The anomaly appears to be transparent, though it has very fine detail.

4) Light and shadow on the anomaly suggests the light source is coming from the top left. This is consistent with the highlight on the picture/mirror frame, located directly to the right of the anomaly. If something was physically present in the room, I would expect this kind of consistency, however that’s an easy thing to forget when faking a photograph, despite the obvious use of flash, because the woman and dog in the foreground would block out most of the flash from the bulb. The rest of the room, including the doorknob, are unaffected by the flash. Everything behind the intended models only reflects light from the ceiling in (what I assume to be) the kitchen. This is technically consistent with flash photography.

5) Bottom edge of the anomaly, cut off by the door to the mud room, is not tampered. If this were an image overlaid in Photoshop there would be obvious signs of tampering when looking at the pixels, but even when scaled to 1000dpi, no computer action is visible.

In summary, I cannot find any tampering evident in this photograph. Whatever this is, I’m unable to disprove it. The only other thing I can possibly suggest might be going on in this picture is a very elaborate projection set up, but even that I don’t believe is the case because the lighting in the room is quite dim. I would expect a projection to cause light glare on the mirror, and there is none. So… I guess I’m saying I believe this is paranormal."

Tanner says there are no photos or pictures hanging in that part of the house that feature people in them.


What do you think?
Is the image looking through the glass the source of their haunting?
Or is it possibly a reflection?
Or a case of pareidolia?
