looks like the ghost of a baby!!

I am not an expert but this is one of the best pics I have seen.
I really hope its not a fake, you seem sincere in your posts. I also noticed you registered a year ago so you didnt just register today to post a pic. which IMO gives you a boost in the legit department.
But once again I am not an expert.
The child is quite obvious to me, I noticed her immediatly, her whole look seems from a different era and she almost looks haunted herself. She is taking a classic shy child pose of hiding behind a parents leg, I have 3 children myself and have countless pics of each of them doing this same pose with either me or my husband.
It is very interesting and can't wait to hear from the experts.
Thanks for posting the pic

The little girl doesn't look the same nationality as everyone else in the picture. When/where was this picture taken? Was it in England?

ye it was taken in my home town of bolton just outside manchester if any1 knows it

Nothing strange about this photograph at all.

The child in the picture is just that, a child. It is no ghost, or anything artificial.

Sorry, but that is all I see, nothing "spooky" about it at all.

are you looking at the right child? Not the one that is obviously alive with the striped shirt on

Are you looking with your eyes?? if I had a child like that in my photo I would be freaked out (not talking about the kid in the pink top lol).

Seriuosly strange photo, I have no explanation but maybe if you could get a hold of the original photo and post it directly on here it might clear up if it has been tampered with.

OK, I'll bite. If we are not being taken for a ride, which is always my first suspicion around here, it is a very compelling pic. It raises a few questions for the OP.
1. Since you have a personal knowledge of the people in the pic and perhaps could find out where it was taken, do you think that a.) there is any connection to the house, or b.) might there be a connection with one of the women? Perhaps a toddler death in their past?

2. Someone raised the point that they have seen the pic elsewhere on the web. Do we have any idea where and when?

3. While other anomalies in the photo disappear under manipulation (the wrinkles in the jeans to the right are just that, as well as the vague face under the telly), the little girls face does not. However, there is no apparent transparency evident with my crude software.

Interesting, I would love to see further analysis on this one!

Read the post before jumping to conclusions.... the OP tells you where to find the face... it is NOT the girl crying on the right.

ye well thank you all for your comments. ill definitely try and find out any other information about the house and family past etc.

Nice work....

The only thing I'm unsure about is, no one in the pic seems to acknowledge the baby was physically their, Im positive it would have been held, particularly by a female, girls love babys!~

Nice pic.

This pic gave me the chills either that is a really good photoshop job or that is real. Good Post.

I can't believe this thread got dropped.
This pic is very interesting, where are all the experts????
Is this picture not debunkable???
The "ghost" in the pic is not the little girl in the striped shirt it is the little child to the left between the legs.
I think this thread deserves a little bit more attention.

Probably because it's hard to come to any real conclusion on this picture that's not based on if and then. To me it just looks like a kid that's playing around and hiding behind his mom. Saying it's a picture of your family is all well and good, but we don't know for sure. If it is a ghost, it's creepy, if it ain't, then it's a neat creepy pic.

Very intriguing pic. And thank you for sharing!

Let us know what you find out about the home. It would be interesting to know if there is history that could identify this child.

i thought it was a joke with the striped one but i think it is a ghost. for some reason when i see a "ghost" it's like what ever, but when i see a GHOST i get this feeling inside like i know it's real, though i'm not too sure about this one

Image of child

I spotted this uninvited guest instantly.
I am not qualified to make any positive or negative comments on the authenticiy of this rather odd inclusion in the photograph.
However, this is worthy of scrutiny from our image savvy experts.

Should this 'uninvited guest' be a manifestation and not some image anomaly this would foster the impression the home would be haunted.

It may be worth setting up some technology and attempt a E.V.P. experiment, even though the subject appears to be an infant.

I do not believe that this photo is a calculated hoax, and I'm sceptical by nature.

Should be interesting, watch this space........

Hi bwfcfan. I'm afraid I don't really have anything new to say, but I do want to say that this is one image I really believe the authenticity of. There's just something about this picture that I can't yet put my finger on that makes me believe it is genuine.
Also, by how you come across in your posts you seem to be a very genuine, no nonsense person.

I thought the face looked very chilling from the moment I saw it.

I know you said you don't know these girls, but could your mum find out from her friend if they've ever had any strange occurrences in the house?
When I was a child, myself and my sister had loads of strange, unexplainable experiences in our house, and neither of us ever talked to anyone about these wierd goings on, and seldom to each other about them - I think we didn't want people to think we were crackers. Had we ever had a picture like that [and no Photoshop in the eighties ] it may have changed things somewhat. I don't know.

yeh i certainly will try and find out as much information as possible. one of the first things that struck me as well was the chillingness of the face also.it looks like it doesnt belong but also looks sad and haunted as someone said earlier. it just strikes me how it is so clear yet it isnt at the same time if you get me. by the way all comments posted so far are very much appreciated

Wow. I personally have yet to come to a definitive conclusion, as far as my opinion of the nature and origin of this sort of phenomenon, but I do find it disturbing when anything paranormal manifests itself in the form of a child, especially such a young one. It is chilling, to see something which ought to be innocent... there is such a sinister quality to the face of this child!

Also, what if the little girl in the striped shirt isn't crying for the obvious reason (that her mother is not holding her/paying attention to her)? What if she's disturbed by this entity? I've read so many times about children who are more sensitive to the paranormal than the adults around them, being less "tuned out" or whatever. It's worth at least a thought.

If the photograph is indeed real then all I have to say is WOW and just a tad bit creepy.
