Answer 1

Nope, I think its simply digitized using Adobe Photoshop/ or another photo editing software program or its a matrix which is what one's mind interprets objects, shapes and patterns in a photo and labeling it as substantial paranormal evidence. and if you read further besides examining the photo:

("However, Ciaran O'Keeffe, a parapsychologist on Living TV's Most Haunted show, has a more down-to-earth explanation for the "child" in Matthew's photograph.

Dr O'Keeffe said: "As human beings we're very good at finding a pattern in randomness and related to that we're good at finding faces in randomness. The term for this is pareidolia.

"First it was ink blots, then things like clouds in the sky and now mobile phone pictures.

"There is no ghost in this picture, just the coincidental effect of pixelation and darkness and light which combine together.")

Answer 2

It looks like some bad photoshoping to me.  These pictures can be created very easily using different layers and fading one.

EDIT

I have seen others do this type of editing before.

Answer 3

Well, it kind of resembles the little girl on the r, possible overlap of data?

Answer 4

Its the curtin in back ground and the pants ;) sorry mate no ghosts

Answer 5

It's definitely a little girl..but might be an overlap. I wonder if this was a digital picture or if it was sent for developing. I think that would make a big difference..esp. if they don't recognize her. (I'm glad to see somebody's still up over here besides me! Keep askin' the questions so we'll have something to do!)

Answer 6

yes i think yes

Answer 7

People see what they want to or what they are told to.if someone says  'thats a child', then thats what people see.If someone said "thats a baboon",then that is what people would see. I say its light playing tricks, or someone that is really good at photoshop created it.

Answer 8

I do see a face, however the face appears to resemble the crying little girl (nose, and brow areas).

Without knowing pic info it is practically impossible to tell if this is matrixing, camera malfunction, or a ghost face.

IMO this is a camera malfunction that overlapped two pictures into one

Answer 9

Could it be?  Yes.  Is it?  Probably not.

Answer 10

it can be a ghost or a demon

take care of you!

Answer 11

it might be an optical illusion

Answer 12

We are far more likely to have haunted minds than haunted houses... ghosts don't exist

Answer 13

I do not think this is a real ghost child.

Answer 14

Kris, If it is not, It should be. Never been a believer in that sort

of thing. But seeing is believing. You get a star for that one.

That really bemused me. Thanks for sharing...

Answer 15

no, but whoever found the face has a good imagination, I never see the faces in things. However, its no more ghostly then seeing the face on Old Man in the Mountain in New Hampshire (before it fell down) or the profile of Elvis after spilling soda on your shirt.

Answer 16

Its probably matrixing.  That's when things come together to make a object appear out of something that isn't even close because you want it to be there.  Kind of like looking at clouds or the ink blot test.

Answer 17

I would say, thru my research, that it appears to be an appirition.

Answer 18

it's matrixing. From birth we are wired to see faces and recognize them.

Only once have I seen a cell phone picture capture the face of an 'unknown'. And most of the body as well.

But what is shown here it common when there are things of patterns around.

Answer 19

nope...don't think so. Like the article said ppl are great at making faces in random things. I have seen 100s of ghost kids just while staring at my ceiling before bed! it is a pretty good one though i must admit!

Answer 20

I'd like to think it is, but like the professional said, its a pixel thing.  But I disagree, there is definitely a face there.

Answer 21

I think it's far more likely that it's an electronics malfunction. It could also be a photoshop job. Another possibility is that there was a picture of a child right behind the line of girls. I don't see any reason to assume this is a "ghost".

Answer 22

I think that it's part of the backround - if you notice, parts of it, seem to match where the carpet-edge,  meets the bottom of the wall (behind the people)

Plus - I'm having trouble getting a better look at it, because there is some faint "tiling" in the picture (obviously digital).

All those ladies and that's the best smile this Dude could manage?? LOL
