This is Creepy!

Chrissy a Coast to Coast listener sent this photo in to George Noory. She was watching a wedding on a live web cam. Details in below link. It obviously shows an apparition. What do you think.... is it real or a flaw in the cam? Any photo-shop experts here? It looks kinda eerie to me.

it's double-vision.
totally spliced is my guess. but i am no expert

It's really pixilated, especially around the "apparition." From around the area of the apparition, I'd say just simple cut and paste, but I haven't examined it too closely yet.

Hmm, it does look pixally, however compared to the rest of the picture, the spirit looks more clear, look at the detail compared to everyone else. Personnaly I think fake.

It's a falw with the camera. How many cameras were shoting it? If it only showed up in that one then it's a flaw with that camera. If not then it's real.

If you look at the "aparition", its exactly the same as the woman standing right of it taking pictures.

Live webstreams tend to double up frames due to lag and compression quality loss.

Seems to me the woman most likely stood there first, made a picture with a flash, then moved where she is standing in the picture, and as you can see is ready to take another picture.


Digital encoding of video, when low motion is selected for the lowest posible datasize, tends to double up frames very easely.

I think everyone who ever watched a digital video on a slow computer has noticed these kinds of things before.

The doubling up is amped because of the lady taking pictures with a flash and like that overexposing the CCD of the webcam and in turn, overexposure, explosions(in video's) and bright light in low motion/low quality encoding are the first to show up as image lags and old frames apearing in the most recently rendered one.

You are indeed correct, its nothing spooky, just a technical glitch in the camera. As thematrix said, its the same women Case closed.

that is a very powerful apparition that or a camera glitch, but i will examine it...

At first look I thought it was sunlight reflecting off the window seal. However, I agree with thematrix's theory.

I dont get it.

Looks like a curtain thing or something. Maybe a bunch if cream filling?

after studing the pic. i conclude that it is a camera glitch

EDIT - didn't read thematrix's entire post, makes perfect sense. Looks like a camera issue or Photoshop.
