• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

I need some debunking help here, please!

The fact that everything else in the photo was blurry due (my guess) to being taken at night without flash nor tripod (I love take night photos without flash, but if I am not careful mine also turn out like this), yet the "artifact" lines are crisp leads to the artifact not being in the original image (unless the ghost managed to vibrate at the same frequency and time as the shaky photographer)

This leads to 2 options, Deliberate insertion or double/half exposure. Was this photo taken on a digital or Film camera? I have a lot of old Photos like this on my SLR where I failed to wind the film on fully, giving and extra half exposure on one side. If it was film, I would look at the negatives and see what the next photo was of, If it was a digital, Get a hold of the original and look at the EXIF data of the photo and see what has been used to edit it

Ghost samurai. Forgot his sword, but didn't forget his shoulder pads.
The face in particular looks like something straight out of a cartoon.
Play with a Ouija board near where that photo was taken and conjure Nathan Algren and Katsumoto.

Indeed, goes to show that no matter how much someone says they didn't do anything you can't take their word for it because they can still be pulling your leg.

Thanks to the op for giving us a very good example as to why one can't use someone's word as proof and thanks to jimerson for finding the solution.

Now I belive the op has some ass kicking to deal out :-D
 
Yep, Geezer!

I'm kicking my own ass for not finding that app when I was googling them earlier! :)

But thanks again to jimerson!

I can personally vouch for him not messing with the picture, please trust me. It's basically a 99.9999repeating% chance that he didn't do that.

full of epic fail,

think about it sws, for him to have pulled this off he would have had to make you pose for a picture that he knew he was tampering with, he planned this, now its your turn. Time to go buy the clingfilm and the toilet paper.
:D

yes indeed. A short but very instructive thread.
 
It's ball-kicking time!

I'm bookmarking this thread to whack people with in future.

Edit, just spotted this in the OP;

He has no monetary reason to do it and he is an enlisted man in the Army so I don't think he would lie to me or make something like this up.

In a British context, successfully making a civvie (or even a fellow squaddie) believe something that isn't true would be sufficient reward in itself!

BRILLIANT example of why anecdotal evidence cannot be used. 99.9999%. Awesome.

I left the .00001% for a reason haha. I'm officially going to kick him in the nuts. Thanks jimerson for the find! It's exactly what's in the photo.

I love your guy's sense of humor. Not sure if I'm going to go with the fish pond in the backyard, move his car, the clingfilm and the toilet paper or to quote Big Les, "It's ball-kicking time!"

For now though I'm going to play it cool and pretend I don't know anything haha

Anyways, thanks so much guys. I appreciate that you didn't just outright dismiss it and actually put forth the effort to debunk it, no matter how obvious it was that it was fake. Thanks :)
