What you have is a simple case of Pareidolia. The human brain is hardwired to find familiar patterns/shapes such as human faces. Many people hone the skill when they are young by imagining animals and so on in clouds, faces in knots of wood, bark and stone etc. It's natural and it's not paranormal.

Nonetheless, thanks for taking a look. Here is another image that has the eyes of the last "Eddie" image highlighted. The red selection box shows the original position of the face. The green shows the copied face scaled. The blue shows the face scaled and highlighted.

Yes, as mentioned by infraredman, this appears to be simple pareidolia. If you are truely trying to get to the bottom of something, you must take in all logical and rational explanations to debunk your own stuff...then whatever is left over is of interest.
Will suggest you stop taking photographs and instead go with video or something of the like...photographs can pick up lots of odd effects due to atmospheric conditions, dust, shadows, etc etc etc...take 20 pictures of anything at night with a flash and you can usually see pretty much anything you want to (faces, ghosts, tonka trucks, etc)...a bit like cloud watching.
So, yes...go with things like EVPs, videos (thermal/ultraviolet), and try to get things like movement and other things that cannot be simply debunked by science 101....
You experience lights flickering on and off...you can call it ghosts if you want, but what good will that do when your house burns down due to some faulty wiring that was showing up initially as lights flickering...(aka, check the wiring before calling the ghostbusters).
As far as the concept between aliens and paranormal..well, sort of the old thought that an advanced race would seem mystical and paranormal to primitive people...godlike (or demonlike if your into that)
Anyhow, good luck in your searches...but don't try to look for things, instead, try to debunk things...and you may eventually get to the good stuff.

Me too. They are called animals and insects.

very nice pictures, thanks for posting. if you have more of those, please post them.
i am a believer of the existence of non-human entities.

Regardless of whether or not you believe that you are seeing the same face, pareidolia is still the most plausible conclusion, at this time.

I doubt if you would consider it plausible if you were living in this house and had experienced all the classic haunting phenomenon and then some that we have.
