I saw an Elf on my picture and decided to join any paranormal forum

Hi I am Nattmaran.

A few months ago (last fall) I was out in the forest taking pictures for my folk/black metal album that I am/was working on.
I wanted something in inverted black and white.
After having uploaded the pictures to my computer I turn them into the format 640x480, so that I can work with them better. The pictures only need to be 500x500.
The original pictures are taken in 2592 x1944px
with a kodak c813(??) I think.
I have these in my folder named 'Nature-summer' and 'Nature-vinter'.
The original pictures goes by the names Picture 008(7,6,5 etc..)
I don't have the originals. That is stupid, I know. But my computer only has 30 gb and very slow memory.

This is a processed picture on which I found an anomalie.
This might be an elf or dubble exposure (as I have been using the same camera to take pictures at public places and others in my family has used it.)
But what makes me wonder is that the branch goes over the elf's head.

The picture was taken in southern sweden around last year in fall..or perhaps early vinter. It was the middle of the day. The forest there are very dens and it is dark within them.
I use either high ISO value or flash when taking these pictures. I don't remember what I used back then?

2nd line

See, i like jokes.

Now that is funny.

You are kidding? Right?

Why does this surprise you? There are all manner of beings in the forests. I live in Finland and I see them very regularly.

Next time you go to the forest, you could take them a little bread or something. They like that.

Interesting pic...back in the early 80's, my older sister was about 8 at the time, used to tell my mom an elf lived under her bed. My mom would hear her laughing even though she had no freinds with her in her room, and less than sometimes, shed have scratch marks on her, letting out a screech. My mom would ask her whats going on, and my sister would reply..its the elf living under my bed..he comes out to scratch me sometimes* so i guess i kinda belive in them. i have played with an ouija board when i was 13 and had some weird and interesting experinces and apparations in the house...ed and lorriane warren helped us.
im into metal also, not black metal, speed metal. perhaps something about you, triggered a ghosts interest in you, negative energy. about 5 or 6 years ago, i was in my room with my cat, listneing to some canibal corpse, heaphones on, and i know i saw a semi materialied black cat or something appear near me on the floor..my cat in my room also saw it and ran over to the exact spot the black thing was, and pawed at the floor with interest..so i know my cat saw it too. I turend the dark music off and didnt see it. this has happened a few times to me over the eyars in the past, only when i played ark aggressive negative music..
makes me think of you..dark music makes negative energy..so ic an attract anything as ive learned.

That was very wise and also very sweetly said.
Wish more people could have such an attitude.

This looks like a malformed dwarf if it is even human...

It also looks a bit angry.. zoom in and the eyebrows are crooked like it's face never grew symetrical...

Whatever it is, it is definitely odd...

Welcome to ATS !

CosmicEgg, do you not agree that the head of the supposed human is too small relative to the tree?
Also, these scandinavian pinetrees are very small.

It was very dark in the forest so i couldn't see it.
The flash would perhaps let me see it, but I am somewhat certain I used high ISO instead of flash.

It could be a human, but it could also be an Elf.

OP, you're a tease.

I clicked on here after reading black metal and Elf but alas I see no picture or mention of the late great Ronnie James Dio...

I believe in you.

Can someone blow up the face in the photo so we can see it better?

I thought it was some ugly old broad taking a leak behind a tree, or maybe a photoshop of an old ugly broad taking a leak behind a tree.

My mystery is solved. It is a photoshop of some old ugly broad taking a leak behind a tree.

It could also be my dad. Or a mask. Could be a cardboard cutout.

Just so that the readers knows; The many wooded nature-areas of Sweden aswell as Swedish folklore, is since long very rich with stories and accounts of various types of beings, and people living out in the country still reports many such encounters, so the account of the OP is not something rare.


That said, and if the pic in the OP would indeed be of a being and not just a image-artefact or similar, than I doubt it is an actual Elf, as the described original apparence of Elfs do not match the apparence in the pic.
Rather, it looks like a Gnome or possibly a Troll.

Shizzle ma nizzle!!!! Its a floating face

How terrifying! Don't go back there whatevers you do!

I tried to understand how meaningless/childish/small I would have to feel to craft a hoax like this-

I'm sorry...I just am not that "easily amused" or as "openly dishonest" as the OP.

Enjoy your laugh...it must be fun to be a useless clown in such a giant circus.

MM

I seriously belive this is an Elf.
I am currently scanning through my SD-cards and harrdrive on the ubunto compter to possibly find the high resolution version.
It's not on this computer, because the harddrive is to small.
My SD card reader is pluggable to the usb, or I can connect the camera right away via a cable

Their are alot of artefacts on the posted version because of it having been saved as jpg twice
