A friend of mine sent via email a photo with a "ghost family" in it, how should I respond to this, to her?

Question

Sometimes I see her during the week at work.

We're both real curious abt the paranormal.

She seems so very convinced in this photo there's clearly a "ghost family" present.

Quite frankly, after viewing this photo, I saw absolutely nothing whatsoever.

What should I say to her?

{I think she's lost her sanity}

I do believe SOME photos reveal paranormal activity or something unexplained.

In her photo there wasn't even a strange shape.

Is she hullucinating or WHAT?

Answer 1

when im on youtube and i watch slide shows of pictures like that sometimes its so tiny they have to circle it, and sometimes they think its clear so it looks normal, or maybe it was fake just tell her you had trouble seeing it and ask her to piont it out next time u see her

Answer 2

Maybe you can ignore it if you don't believe it.

Answer 3

Your friend posssess psychic abilities maybe... She ought to get good parapsychological counselling right away!

Answer 4

Friends don't worry about hurting their friends by opinion.  If you really didn't see anything, tell her.  Have the discussion and get her to show you what she is calling the ghost family.  You could have missed something and if you didn't, no harm no foul.

Answer 5

To be honest, I know people who can see things other people don't, including in photos, so don't automatically assumed she's lost her mind. She may very well see a family in that photo. Just maybe you don't. Just be honest with her, tell her you don't see it.

Answer 6

Hey, any sourse we can see this pic. Its really fun to see things like these but talking very frankly, "grow up gal .........."

Answer 7

Tell her the truth, that you don't see anything in the photo. But just because you see nothing doesn't mean that she doesn't. Some people are more aware than others.

Answer 8

Honestly.  Tell her what you see (or don't).  Clear the decks so to speak.

Answer 9

It's amazing what one's eye can do, if you don't see anything then be honest. But it doesn't mean she isn't seeing something there.

Answer 10

Just tell her honestly about your own opinion. Photographs can't behave unusually in the eyes of different people. If there was really something paranormal about that photo, you could have seen it ( as other people will also do). If you can't see anything unusual in it, then there is none. Perhaps it's not a question of her sanity. Maybe she's just testing you how "paranormally inclined" you really are...or you are just like the average type who will believe there's something unusual because others only say so.

Answer 11

Just be honest with her and tell her that you did not see anything. You might ask her to point out what she sees. However I think it goes without saying that you should not be rude or tell her you think she has lost her mind, unless you want to lose a friend

Answer 12

Its a set up, tell her the truth or you will look piiss weak.

Answer 13

I think you need to be honest with her about not seeing anything.  It's hard enough to capture one ghost on film so, a whole family seems almost impossible to me.  If you don't feel like you can be honest with her verbally, try sending her some supporting evidence debunking the photo, instead via email.  Grant from T.A.P.S. has written an article about matrixing on the T.A.P.S. website.  I've enclosed the link.  It's actually very interesting to read.  Maybe showing this article to her in a non-confrontational email, will help her consider possible alternatives to what she thinks she's seeing.  Hope this helps.

Answer 14

If you don't see anything, just be honest.

Maybe ask her to explain what she sees?

Answer 15

Speak with your Friend Openly and Honestly....as a Friend should.  Tell her you can't see what she's seeing, and offer to have it interpreted using any number of Photo Imaging programs.  

Most people see the things they Want to see sometimes (it's called matrixing...and it's very common), and their subconscious mind will Let them see it, and they are being totally Honest in saying they see the image.

Ask her to join you in Objectively analyzing the photo, and perhaps you can come to an agreeable solution, and keep a Friend at the same time.

Hope this helps!

Answer 16

I have a   friend who claims to be psychic. She sees

spirits all the time. I can't see them either maybe it is

because I am not psychic. I  don't think she has lost her

sanity it could be you are actually unable to see them.

I just go along with her  because I can't tell her she is nuts

because she may have the gift of seeing these spirits.

I would suggest you mention cannot see them yourself,  and maybe

someone who is psychic may be able to verify her picture.

Answer 17

i think she is joking,  look in the picture meaby you are in it.

Answer 18

If you are afraid to say something to her. Ask her to point out where out on the photo she sees this sometimes some people can see things and others can't until you show them what there looking at. If there isn't anything there be honest and let her know you don't see anything there is nothing wrong in that.  Put the picture on the computer and get closer to were she says it is.  Maybe you just can't see it. She knows the room whats there and what isn't. You may be surprised. Maybe she will say you know my eyes are playing tricks on me. It happens

Answer 19

Maybe she's tricking you or testing you or playing a joke on you. Tell her the truth..that you don't see anything. Ask her to try to show you where she sees something. If she really does..and points it out to you ...you might see it too. If she's testing you etc..you're just going to look stupid and she'll think you're pretending to see things even when you really do. Find out the whole truth. Don't play psychiatrist. Or..has she done this a lot of times and you went along with it? If so..level with her. She'll respect you a lot more for it. If she's hallucinating...she probably needs to know it..but you don't have to call it that. Just tell her you don't see anything at all. Let HER figure it out. (And don't go around telling other people you think she's crazy. )

Edit..Speaking of the mind doing tricks. Google "Cheney's sunglasses" and see what was REALLY  reflecting on his sunglasses. lol It's all in how you see things, I guess.

Answer 20

Ever heard the term "matrixing?"

Matrixing is a false identification of the paranormal because our mind is literally playing tricks on us.  When we look at a collection of objects, our minds naturally try to make sense of it, try to find some sort of familiarity. An example is shapes or images in the clouds, a burnt piece of toast, light or reflections.

So does this mean it is not a picture of a "ghost family?" No, but is a definite high probability of matrixing. When dealing with the paranormal the most important thing is that we keep a spketic but open mind. Most paranormal evidence is not paranormal, whether it is from the lack of understanding or the strong want for it to be paranormal.

Answer 21

I'd mess with her and say; yeah i see them. then tell her they are kinda scary, then tell her hey isn't that your name right over their heads? and then, i think someone just turned their head, did you see that? omg! and act real scared.

tell her the truth later.

Answer 22

The truth is what you tell her.

If your concerned about her sanity, help her to get help please.

I don't know what's out there as far as the paranormal goes, love watching PS and the like, but I'd get help if it got bad.

IE I was seeing things I wasn't sure of or someone told me that I needed help. Any number of things can cause someone to see things that aren't there.

Answer 23

You should tell her that you did not see anything strange in the photo, she may point out something that you totally missed. Also, if you do not see anything, why not just own up to it? I would not make up something , especially like that.
