Yes
asking anyone who knows photoshops to tell me if these are real or fake. found them on another forum. and before everyone shouts fake, i want people to look at the exif data and everything else.

they was in usa of course. and here is the story that goes with it. the other forum think its real but i want a togs view.

here is the story off the forum:

"Alright, here is the rundown:

We heard about a place in the woods from a local church member, and that it was haunted. I do not know the exact story behind the house, I learned of the place through a friend. So, before we traveled there at night, we thought we'd get a bit of a look around so we didn't run into anything dangerous. The only thing we did find dangerous was that the entire side of the house was swarming with hornets. So we couldn't really go near the house.

So, on June 26th, we decided to go check it out at night, because we had access to a camera and a large group of people. We also figured the hornets wouldn't be awake at night unless we were to disturb them. We started filming from the parking lot of the church, we had about...I'd estimate off the top of my head about 7-8 people. We started to walk through the woods to the place, as we got closer to the house, the camera cut off on us. We were a tad baffled, but just turned it back on and shrugged it off. We finally got to the house, and our camera guy, Clinton, was filming through the doorway into the house. He asked if anybody would like to venture into the house. We didn't hear any noises of the hornets, so we figured it was okay. Now, I was not the first to enter the house, I didn't really even get into the 2nd room of the house, I just had a headlamp and was providing light for the camera. The first to enter was Stephen, followed by Clinton. We filmed for about 5-10 minutes in the house, then decided to move back out and walk around to the graveyard. We filmed in the graveyard for about 10 minutes, then decided it was time to leave, because we weren't really finding anything too paranormal.

So, the group split up, and feeling like we hadn't found anything, Clinton went home to check out the footage, just in case. Well, either the next day we got a call from Clinton, he pretty much told us he had found something unbelievable and was scared s***less almost. So, we show up, and he explains to us what he found. The whole entire time up to the point where we started walking from the parking lot to the point where we turned the camera back on after it shut off, was not recorded. The footage starts and ends in the parking lot, then starts again when we near the house. As Clinton was standing in the door filming inside the house, he found something. As a flashlight passed from the left of the room, to the right at the doorway, we found a ghost, which is picture 1, included. It looks to be a little girl standing in the doorway. I was immediately skeptical, but as I repeatedly watched it, it looked undeniably real. You could see details which you cannot see in most ghost videos on the internet. Now, that isn't the end of what we found.

After Stephen and Clinton had moved into the first room, another ghost was found. As Clinton moved first into the second room, he asks for light to be shown ahead of him as he stands right where the first ghost was earlier. There is a chair, facing the doorway of the first room. As the light arcs up from either me or the other flashlight carrier, Nick, a ghost appears on the chair. It looks to be a little boy, nude, trying to cover himself up. I replayed this one intensely. When the light first arcs up, the ghost appears. Then, for about 2-3 frames, the ghost disappears. He then reappears after this. After looking at the ghost, frame by frame, it seems to me that when he first appeared, he is simply sitting there with his knees up, looking at the ground. As he reappears, he you can watch his face as he turns and faces the camera. Now, if you watch his jawline also, at first his mouth is closed, but as he faces the camera, his jawline suggests that he is screaming at us as we enter the next room. After that he disappears. That is picture 2.

We could not pick up enough light in the graveyard to see anything, so we had to scrap that piece of the film. This was at the end of June. Since then, we have all tried to put it out of our minds, but I have always though that someone could shed a little bit more light on the subject that we could. I want your opinion, on the subject. I have included two pictures, but I will tell you that if you take interest in this, I can show you the video we captured, it is in good quality. This however, isn't enough quality in my opinion to determine the validity of our claims. I am actually in the process of uploading the 800MB HQ file of the youtube video, the raw video will remain in our hands though for now. Once the upload is completed, if you want, I can provide the link so you can look at the video.

Here is a little more information

What we did was trespassing, and the Church could indeed press charges if they deemed necessary, something I hope will never happen, we were just curious, but curiousity can't excuse breaking the law. I learned later that we could have simply obtained permission from the church to check this area out, now, from what I have seen, the area is patrolled by cops.

see you said that without even looking...... so your answer doesnt fullfill my question so therefore is not valid... next :)
 
What on earth do you think the EXIF data is going to tell you???

I have yet to see a ghost image which has been proven authentic
 
it will tell me if its been modified and looking to see if they have been shopped. im asking about thee pictures being real rather than the existance of ghosts or not
 
I can't even see any ghosts or apparitions in these images. What I imagine I can see is the torch light, very few of which throw an even light but have a darker area in the middle and uneven areas elsewhere on the "glass" at the front. How many of you have tried using a torch to light something and have had to move it to get a clear view.

I think someone has an over vivid imagination :D
 
it will tell me if its been modified and looking to see if they have been shopped. im asking about thee pictures being real rather than the existance of ghosts or not

exif is easy to fake but as these are stills from video there isn't any exif data anyway :nuts:

Are they real, yes, they exist as 0s and 1s ;)

Is the content real? Impossible to say from a still, would need to look at the original video but that wouldn't answer the ghost question, it would just prove if the film recorded what is shown or not, it wouldn't explain what it was or offer any proof.

You're contradicting yourself

Yes, the pictures are real, they exist. That however does not prove whether or not the images are a genuine representation of what was in front of them at the time. But, let's face it, if that squealing PITA on the TV hasn't managed to get any pictures of ghosts in the last 10 years and who knows how many hours of footage don't you think it's a bit unlikely that a couple of guys with a video struck lucky in 10 minutes???

There is no EXIF data, the pictures are stills from a video. Even if there was it wouldn't prove anything.

Whilst I'll admit photography is part about being in the right place at the right time - I think you hit it on the head there Dod :thumbs:

I’ll also point out this last paragraph

I learned later that we could have simply obtained permission from the church to check this area out, now, from what I have seen; the area is patrolled by cops.


Well if I have taken some ‘spirit’ pictures I would have found out where to get permission and gone back the next few nights to gain more proof before releasing any photos

My PC at work is dreadful quality. Images are very low res.....
However, these pics look terrible. Can't see a 'ghost' at all.

Anyone interested in this subject (which I am very much),
feel free to have a kite through this site:

www.ghoststudy.com

There's many, many pictures on there. Some good, some bad. Some shout out FAKE at you, some just have no logical explanation.

There's usually stacks of archived pics from months ago.
 
FAKE FAKE FAKE.. Ghosts dont exist! :razz:
 
ive seen them too. so i dont care if people say they are real or not. and so did my gran. and my ex.
 
Yes, I agree.

You go to a country where witchcraft is a popular form of worship, and you'd soon change your mind about the existance of ghosts/spirits.


I have some friends who came to live in England, and at first, they were actually against the idea of buying off eBay. Because where they came from, you don't buy 2nd hand items because of what might come with them.

cheers for that :eek::eek::eek: i wont be buying anything second hand any more lol

lol....what I meant was....in their country nobody buys second hand goods

The point I was trying to make, is that in some countries, that is how serious people are about things like this.

Fair enough if it's underwear. :thumbs:

Beyond that I'm afraid I really don't go for possessed liquidisers and lawnmowers.

perhaps u **** dod.. then the lawn can mow itself? ;)
 
if its a video, then we should be able to see a video. If they are taken from a video and there is no video to see then they must be fake, as why would anyone show pictures when the video would show much more.
 
Having been "ghost hunting" with a group ( I was there as an observer) that were very scientific in their approach,
all I will say is that it was a very interesting experiance, and one to be repeated!

There were certaily things triggering the equiptment, temprature drops and other "unexplained" occurences.

A bit like UFO's really, there was "something" there.
As to whether it was passed peoples lives or not remains to be seen.
( or not ;) )

The pictures are certainly interesting but I guess we will never know the truth about the legitimacy.
Such is the nature of the beast ( or spirit)
 
Yep, can see what look to be a kid with a massive afro on the chair and its mate lurking in the right-hand corner. Looks a bit spooky but considering gjosts don't exist, must be either a fake or some very coincidental trick of the light.
 
I have been reading up on Ghosts and researching the paranormal (not UFO's, just Ghosts) for the last 6 years and have only just recently been on organised ghost hunts. Wish i had started sooner as they are huge fun. I have seen a few things that are pretty amazing (for me!) that are not a figment of my imagination. There is some pretty weird stuff out there that science has yet to understand. As for those pics...hmm after seeing the video i must admit i'm impressed. Very interesting! Video is a corker! If it is fake it's been done very well.

For non believers no amount of evidence is enough, for believers no evidence is necessary.

WOW!
I'd LOVE to do this.....
Lucky you!
 
Very nicely said AndyWest....

I've had a chance now to check the video, and it is indeed impressive.
Nobody, sadly, can say if it's 'real or fake', but it's the not knowing part that makes the paranormal stuff interesting for me.

I'm seriously fascinated by 'ghosts' and paranormal stuff.
So if anyone has any good links/pictures/video's etc, please feel free to pass them on to me!!!

Hope this thread keeps going, as it could be a great one!
 
yet fraggle you believe in ufos lol


Thats where you are wrong Ashers! iv always said id LIKE to believe in them! but, having said that, i think there is much more of a possibility of there being aliens than Ghosts! Dead peoples souls wandering around the place! :thinking: Doubt it!!

BUT! i NEVER say never... i try to keep an open mind.. i just dont believe in Mediums..
 
Cheers andy_fozzy.

No matter what evidence you put forward there will be people that will say it's fake or coincidence so we can never win. People say that the photo's and videos are ALL fake but they don't know that. Some people are very narrow minded and will say 'they don't exist..end of' how do they know that? They don't, it's just they don't believe and it's so easy to say that because they don't have to do anything to prove otherwise. I'm not saying these people are bad or whatever, it's what they believe and that's absolutely fine, it does however annoy me when people make that statement. What they should say is that they don't believe ghosts exist which is absolutely fine with me and different from 'They don't exist'.

If you told people 150 years ago that we were made of atoms and we'll be able to split these atoms we would be locked up!!

I find the whole paranormal thing fascinating and it's now my 2nd hobby, after photography....and i can combine the two!! :D

I'm going on another Ghost hunt in Feb to Valentines Mansion in East London, can't wait.

Search for Ghost, Poltergeist in Youtube. Or visit http://www.worldofghosts.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2083 Click on the link in the thread for my 'sighting' of this regular ghosty!!!!

PM me if you want anymore info etc.

Andy
 
i try to keep an open mind

Good for you!

As for Aliens... well if you think how many stars are out there and how many planets there must be it's pretty obviouse there must be planets that can support life which i believe 100%. What that life is i don't know, are they visiting us..maybe, only time will tell.

i prefer smalls myself :D
