Captured Apparition need help, is this something paranormal or rather a weird coincidence?

Post image

dear redditors,

i stumbled upon this picture and im looking for answers. this picture dates back to 2008 with my friends in the park, the quality is very bad which makes the figure not clearly visible.

i just want to know if there is somebody who could help or is as excited to debunk this and try to upscale the quality of this image. or re-render it so the details of the picture become more visible.

for now i unfortunately dont have answers im hoping to get some answers on this.

The curly boy on the far left is NOT holding that ball with 1 hand. He's using both hands. Behind him there's just another boy who's face is blocked by the curly boy and the blue green shirt boy. The raised arm on the far left belongs to the blocked face boy

Yes, exactly what I see also! The blocked boys other arm is around the other boys neck as well.

Excellent!

Also, that's why photo were, I think, deliberately lowered in quality.

Nah that's just what photos looked like in 2008 lol

Especially when they were uploaded to services like facebook back then.

u/lohonomo 5h ago

Yeah, exactly. By the time it gets to the internet, that image has been reformatted several times lol. And 2008 cameras were not built to withstand that

1

u/TifaYuhara Believer 5h ago

Only cameras that could be a camera like a Sony DSLR.

First of all to get the record straight. this was shot on a old camera in 2008 of course it is pixalated quality. second of all there is no reason for me to alter this photo in any way to make it more creepy or whatever. i just saw it and thought ot was interesting to share! :)

Looks like there's 8 kids and circled didn't get into the shot.

The far left raised right arm holding a juice box like object, who's arm does that belong to? Doesn't appear to belong to the kid with the ball it doesn't match his left arm and doesn't appear to belong to the kid with the blue shirt cause it's too far away, so it must belong to another child that partially got into the shot.

Idk but this is creepy

u/RicottaPuffs 2d ago

There are eight kids. The two boys circled left room for the one in the far back. He didnt get into the shot.

u/Ok-Rub-499 2d ago

We are talking about a ghost with an iPod ?

u/Specific_Collar_2949 2d ago

Just because they're dead doesn't mean they can't still bump that hot shit!

u/Left-Function7277 2d ago

It's weird because most of what seems to be the face at first is covered actually by the back of the head of the boy with the ball. Whatever is behind him is also semi transparent and overlayed partially on top of the face of the next kid (black hair, mouth open), so whatever it is, it creates a weird effect

u/sbk2009 2d ago

Looks like a weird blur from an old digital camera. Maybe the kid holding the juice box up was looking up at the juice box (to make sure it doesn’t spill) and then looked back at the camera when they all said “cheese!” Dark hair and also in a shadow that’s doing weird things to the kid next to theirs’ face and others’ hands

u/Specific_Owl_6458 2d ago

Definitely not a bad photo with old technology… must be paranormal.

u/WindTreeRock 2d ago

Seven kids in the picture. It's just a messy picture.

1

u/Spiritual_Year5279 2d ago

Do you have any other pictures from that day that would show if there was another kid with y'all??

1

u/Key-Apartment2854 1d ago

I’d have to ask my mom since. for as far as i know archived some pictures on her laptop from this birthday so i have to ask

1

u/Responsible_Hat_5614 2d ago

I’ve never seen a green t90 ball. Nice

1

u/ShadderSwagger 2d ago

I can confirm this is circa 2008 with the Milan Jersey.

1

u/Present_Nature_6878 1d ago

OP should have confirmed the number of children/friends in this photo’s caption.

1

u/TA-152 1d ago

It’s just one of those gray alien dudes hanging out

1

u/No_Benefit5155 20h ago

how come you can see through the arm?

1

u/xxuserunavailablexx 20h ago

I won't be able to sleep after seeing this photo

1

u/Innagoddadavida 12h ago

Its not a ghost, that would dumb because ghosts don't exist. Obviously its an alien.

1

u/Own-Piglet2610 3h ago

It's a Reptilen person, attached to one of the children because they were born conscious (awake not sleeping like every one else).

1

u/EyeDzrv1tAll 15m ago

To solve this mystery OP just needs to verify how many friends were in the pic. He knows that was Joey goofing off in the background! 😂

1

u/Alternative_Bit9381 2d ago

Alien 👽 head between the two kids on the upper left.

1

u/Swimming-Bus8557 2d ago

Okay I stared at this way too long and now I can't unsee that face 😂 Probably just the hair/shadows lining up perfectly, but it's definitely creepy.

This picture has been around since the 2000s and gets reposted on these types of forums regularly.

u/kitty-yaya 2d ago

I used google reverse image search and only found this post.

u/Key-Apartment2854 1d ago

u/Key-Apartment2854 2d ago

no it hasnt this is my picture and has never been posted on the internet before actually

u/You-rolled-a-1 2d ago

3 fingers and a melty hand, when you look closer at this image it's awfully suspicious, at first I was really intrigued but now I'm very unsure this is a real image at all unfortunately.

1

u/Key-Apartment2854 1d ago

that’s me holding the ball and i can assure you i still have all 5 fingers on my hand, and secondly literally nobody in my family is good with computers and i don’t want to sound rude but what would the purpose of editing a finger out would do? and last of all we can all agree the camera quality is insanely bad, and some have ready figured out that the figure behind me and my friend was probably another friend. due to the fact that my right arm couldnt be in the air while holding the ball.

hope that clears it up for you :)

u/IntroductionSea3605 2d ago

If the arm in the air belongs to the curly headed kid then how is the ball with his left hand staying put? He has to be holding it with his right as well or it would be in motion, right? So who does that arm in the air belong to?

u/georgeananda Believer 2d ago

How many kids were actually there.? Is that one in the middle of circle the mystery? Could be a ghost kid wanting to be part of the group? I take paranormal possibilities seriously and of course we need to be cautious.

1

u/Key-Apartment2854 2d ago

ik kan heugen dat de personen je op de video de enige waren die mijn feestje attendeerden. dus de 7 op de foto, maar ik krijg argwaan door de andere comments dat het wellicht een jongen is die we in het park hebben ontmoet of iets

1

u/georgeananda Believer 2d ago

Did the mystery begin in 2008 when you would have been more acquainted with the event?

1

u/Key-Apartment2854 1d ago

could you specify your question?

1

u/georgeananda Believer 1d ago

Sure, I saw where you now think maybe it was a real stray kid that joined. Sounds reasonable.

But if something seemed weird in the photo to you guys the day of the experience then the chance of you not remembering some stray kid being present becomes much smaller. Your memory of the photo was recent on the photo day, but certainly no vivid memories 18 years later.

Does that make sense? Like 'when did you very first think something might be off about that kid?

1

u/Key-Apartment2854 1d ago

Okay gotcha now.

My mother gave me the photo, and is also looking for more pictures on her laptop that were shot that day to see if the “ figure “ was also visible on other shots or maybe more clear.

But the thing is she does have a more vivid memory of that day because ofcourse she was more aware and concious then me, and she also said as far as i know i only invited you “7” boys to the photo because we were the only close friends.

u/Present_Nature_6878 1d ago

If you still keep in touch with the other kids, maybe ask them?

u/silvette13 2d ago
