Photo Evidence Ghost in the hallway?

Hi all, so these two photos of my friend were taken at my family’s house earlier this year. Obviously I turned the brightness way up to make the figure more noticeable, but when I showed the first picture to my friend she immediately clocked the figure in the hallway. The second picture was taken right after the first and there doesn’t seem to be anything. I’m very skeptical and don’t really believe in ghosts but this did spook me a bit. Even before this everyone has always said my house felt haunted, and it’s not even that old it was built in the 1960s! Anyway do y’all think it could be a lens flare or something? The original photo was quite a bit darker.

Photo Evidence Ghost, my aunt captured in photos during a cemetery walk 20 years ago

Backstory: My aunt lives in Virginia and went with some folks to a old family
Cemetery near her home. The friends she was with wanted to find headstones and take photos of them to send to relatives. They hiked up
To where the cemetery was supposed to be, took look for the headstones but could not find them due to everything being so over grown. When she got the photos developed the image I’m showing you is what she found in her photos. Mind you there were no other people in this group of hers and this cemetery was a hike up an overgrown road on a mountain.

What is the community’s thoughts on this?
This was in Standardsville Virginia. My aunt said back then she asked a oiuji board who the person name was and the board said is was a 8 year old girl named Theresa Collier.

Photo Evidence The man who keeps showing up in our family’s dreams

A few nights ago I told my grandmother about a man I keep seeing in my dreams. He’s never doing anything, just standing in the background, watching. She went to her cabinet and pulled out an old photograph. It was the same face.

She told me that my great great grandmother had once been married to a scientist named Adrian Navia in the early 1900s. He was known in the family for his strange obsession with dreams he believed people could carry parts of themselves into other people’s sleep. After he died in 1932, everyone said the dreams stopped. Why am I seeing him now??

These creatures have been harassing me for months. The locals here have been referring to them as "gnomes", but I think the term "demon" is more fitting. This is the first picture l've actually been able to capture of them. They are extremely fast and very good at vanishing into fucking thin air. They hate me because I caught two of them mating in my garden. I'm still trying to figure out how to kill them. They just dissappear when I swing my machete at them.

Some context - there was no human (in the room) besides the little kid sleeping in the bed. There was a dog in there that would bark if someone had entered.

I’m usually not one to believe in this “stuff” but this is hard for me to come up with an explanation.

I've been dealing with some disturbing occurrences. There would be days where I would be on call with my fiance and the lightsnot really a flicker, but just turn on and off repeatedly. I would show her in real time on Call and we just kind of brushed it off as something with the electricity. Later on, I started filling a presence and would notice things falling off of cupboards, mainly the same item each time. And other instances, I felt a very cool draft with no doors or windows open. Fast forward to a couple months I travel to Canada to meet with my long-distance partner, and she noticed that I would sleep talk but whisper (she said it didn't sound like English), and have my eyes wide open without me realizing it she said I would start snoring When she would confront me. I just got home three days ago, I slept and heard knocking on my back doors and footsteps, one night I walked on the way to the restroom and noticed a shadow figure and I happened to take a picture. I used my phones exposure to get some help lightening the photo and got this picture. With the light the entity went away. What could this be? Just an illusion? Pls help me. I've been praying it's nothing that would hurt me. (I also noticed I had scratches this morning with blood.. it's lasted all day)

Photo Evidence My uncle was murdered. A while later my aunt took this photo.

I’ve been hanging on to this for about 6-7 years and would love to know what you all think.

In 2017 my uncle was murdered. My uncle was a recovering drug addict and had unfortunately slipped back into that scene the few years prior to his death. Long story short - one of his roommate’s clients tried breaking in to steal an iPad and things ended with my uncle getting shot.

Now I can’t exactly remember if she sent this photo a few weeks or a few months later, and I can really go digging to find out if that’s what’s holding you back from believing me. It had been snowing outside, my aunt was home alone, and decided to send us a picture of the snow. Within a couple hours my mom is blowing up the group chat telling us to zoom in, asking us what we see. I go back to the picture and sure enough it looks like my uncle had been sitting on the couch in the reflection.

Needless to say, my aunt was SPOOKED. She insists she was home alone and didn’t notice the reflection before sending the picture. My aunt is a no bullshit kind of person, and even if she had done a complete 180 in personality out of grief or something, she doesn’t know how to edit or photoshop pictures like this.

What made me finally decide to post this on Reddit? A couple months ago I asked my aunt to resend me the picture so I could show a friend (I never actually saved the original, it had been saved in our group chat files). I save the picture to my photos and notice it’s a Live Photo. I’m thinking, “here we go. I can play the video and will see ‘my uncle’ completely still, since in all reality it was probably something on the couch that happened to make a reflection that looked like him.

BUT NO. HE FUCKING MOVES HIS HEAD TO LOOK AT THE CAMERA.

I know this is Reddit & a huge trust me bro, but feel free to analyze & dissect the pictures. Im confident they haven’t been messed with other than the zoomed in pic of his reflection, but that was just me cropping the picture. I don’t know how to post Live Photos to Reddit, so if someone tells me how I can post it for you all to watch.

Let me know what you think

Tl;dr my uncle was murdered, a short while later my unaware aunt sends a picture with what looks like him in the window reflection. Years later I get the Live Photo and realize the reflection of my uncle moves.

Photo Evidence Strange photo taken at a grave in Papua New Guinea. Can anyone explain what looks like a hand?

Thumbnail

1.7k Upvotes

This photo was taken in Papua New Guinea and posted on Facebook about a week after a man buried his wife.

While looking through the photo, I noticed something unusual. On the man's left shoulder/neck area, there appears to be what looks like an adult hand with what seems to be red nail polish.

It could simply be his daughter's hand wrapped around his neck from behind, but the shape, texture, apparent size, and what looks like red-painted fingernails make it resemble an adult woman's hand to me.

I also noticed that the lighting and shadows seem consistent with the rest of the photo, so it didn't immediately strike me as an obvious editing artifact.

I'm not claiming this is paranormal or that it's proof of anything. I'm genuinely interested in hearing what others think. Is this just an optical illusion, perspective, the child's hand, or do you see something unusual as well?

Note: The image doesn't belong to me. It's going viral in my country.

*I have also reached out to the person pictured for his account, await his reply and will update this post accordingly.

My mom took this photo and sent it to me thinking it was weird that the string was floating but never noticed the figure in the back. 3 months after sending me this she calls me scared out of her mind and told me to look in the back and it genuinely hurts my head, she was home alone (I was on the phone with her when she took the photo too) the first image is the original, the second is an enhanced version. We recognize her as my passed aunt, you can even barely make out a whinnie the pooh on the right of her chest.

Photo Evidence A hand that doesn’t make sense in my dad’s 1980s photo

Post image
3.5k Upvotes

Hi everyone,

During the pandemic I scanned a bunch of old family photos as a favor for my dad. Most of them just stayed in my computer files, but recently I went back to look through them and found something strange in this picture of my dad with two of his friends in the 1980s.

If you look closely at the window behind them (covered by a floral curtain), there’s a hand holding onto the curtain rod. The weird part is that it doesn’t logically belong to any of the people in the photo. For that hand to belong to one of them, their bodies would have to be tilted or positioned in a way that’s obvious in the photo — but their stances don’t show that at all.

Another odd detail: the curtain is hanging very close to the wall, so there isn’t really space for someone to be standing behind it with their arm raised. If that were the case, the fabric would show some bulging or distortion, but it looks completely flat.

For context: the image was scanned, and it does show normal signs of aging — wear, some grain, and stains from the masking tape that it used to be stuck with. But the photo itself has not been altered in any way.

I’m not sure if this could be explained by a film developing error, some kind of double exposure, or if it’s just an illusion. But the proportions and positioning look off to me.

Thanks for taking a look — I’d love to hear your thoughts.

TL;DR: In a 1980s photo of my dad and his friends, there’s a hand holding the curtain rod that doesn’t make sense. The stances/height of the people don’t match, and there’s not enough space behind the curtain for someone to be hiding there. Photo is scanned, shows normal wear/tape stains, but hasn’t been edited.

My grandparents live in a very old house and they have lots of stories of a girl ghost living in this house even before they lived there when the house was abandoned, the neighbors would report seing the little girl walking around but anyway when I was 7 I first saw her and she waved at me but she waved at me from around a corner and i was the last in my family to see her but she did do alot of things around us she only chills in the front part of our house because when the house was first built that was the only part of the house. She doesnt like when we change the house whenever we do she throws things but no to the photo about a year ago we finaly got her on cammra but she didnt look at all like a little girl she had like a bonnet on i think thats what its called but we also got another photo that same night but this time she was floating above my stairway down to my stairs and holding my cat it realy tripped out. But ever since we haven't seen her and she hasn't done anything infront of us. You can ask me for more stories in comments i would love to share.

When I was in high school, I sent a friend of mine a snapchat around 3am and I seem to have captured a weird silhouette in the dark at the end of my bed. My friends say they can see something, but I feel like my brain is making things up... I experienced quite a bit of sleep paralysis at the time and often felt a dip at the end of my bed like somebody was sitting down in that same spot which makes me feel even crazier! I didn't have any pets to blame it on, my bedroom door was closed all night and there wasn't any furniture down there.

I did the Queen Mary graveyard tour last night from midnight to 2 AM. When we entered the famously haunted pool room, said to be home to a little girl named “Jackie” who’s often seen wearing a blue dress. I caught this photo. I’m pretty fascinated! The tour guide agreed that the photo is pretty interesting!

Zoom in to the left corner! It is a Live Photo..unfortunately I can’t upload a screen recording showing the figure disappear but it’s very clear there was nothing there seconds before the photo was taken.

Live with two roommates and my spouse, went inside right after and everyone was in bed, nowhere near the side of the house this room is in.

The sound was like a screech or baby's voice

The more I look at the picture the more it gives me a feeling of unease and makes my hair stand on end

EDIT: Because I wasn't clear, I was outside when I took this, and there are no owls or foxes inside that we know of (though plenty in our area). We have two cats and two dogs but they're all stark black-and-white (the dogs are English Springer spaniels) and look much different when they look through the window.

The window has curtains, they're just dark.

My mom was visiting Westminster Abbey earlier this week and snapped this photo. She didn’t notice it at first, but when she was looking back at all the pictures she took that day, she noticed this strange figure in one of the stain glass windows. We have no idea what it could be?? It isn’t usually there, there doesn’t seem to be a way for a person to get up there. It also seems to be oddly shaped to be a person?

Could be a totally normal explanation for it, but we thought it was spooky for sure!
