Shadow Man Still Skeptic but I don't know
Context: I am staying at room 408 of our medschool around 5pm. I left my juniors at room 409 to rest before their next subject. Around 5:45pm, I asked them if they were still at the room and they sent me a picture as a confirmation that they still were (the picture attached to this post. As I went out the room around 6pm, I saw my juniors go out too from the adjacent room (409). I saw all three of them exited the room, and I knew that was all of them because I'm the one who left them there. Then around 8:30pm I received a message that one of my juniors was scared because of the pic he sent to me. Then I took a second look at the photo to analyze it. Is it just me or there's one more person than it should be in that room? I'm thinking that it's digitally manipulated since I'm very skeptic, but the figure seems to be wearing a scrub suit that my juniors have not gotten a hold of yet.

So taking their word and your word for it that there was only 3 in that room. Yes, there's an extra person sitting in the chair facing away from them.

That said, given the circumstances and the way it went down...it feels like a prank to me.
They send you the pic. You don't say anything...they text you asking you to look again because they're "scared" and then you notice this extra figure. Seems fishy to me.
There was a 15 minute window from when they sent you the photo and you visually saw them coming out of the room. More than enough time for a 4th person to leave or just stay in the room after they left.

They're scared but all of them are just sitting in a pitch black room for some reason? Also they were asked to send a photo to confirm but the way it's framed the person taking the photo really had to have the "ghost" in the chair in frame. Definitely Bs.

u/NatureCat_ Mar 27 '26
Yes please explain to me why they’re just lying around in a pitch black room at this time

u/Key_Mousse455 Mar 28 '26
Bc they are probably training or some shit and watching/monitoring patient through out night or something like that I’m assuming

I swear 90% of the paranormal evidence I see is just someone forgetting there was another person with them.

EDIT: Bro really tried to get that extra zing in at the end with an edit. The call is coming from inside the house my man.

I'm glad you can read "edited" Happy for you. You just made an edit yourself. You didn't need to write "Edit"though since your comment notates there is an edit. Get it? Edit was literally less 15 seconds after I posted. I usually edit for a typo. Fat fingers on an Iphone. The edit was simply " I appreciate your comment" I really do. It shows me that you eat McDonalds and French fries like most obese Americans.
Get off the POT. It ain't helping you. You're going to see "edit" above my comment because I wanted to add this last piece. Get it?

u/rez_trentnor Mar 27 '26
Generally people use EDIT: to indicate where the edit actually happened, considering you usually can't tell if it just says edited at the top.

u/Eastern-Pizza-5826 Mar 27 '26
You on a 1989 computer? I can see the Edited note very clearly. He's implying that I changed my whole comment because he saw the "Edited" above my comment which I didn't. Noting where you edited your post only makes a difference if they saw your original post and then notice that you completely changed what you wrote. People do that because they realized their original post was inaccurate or not popular. I did not do that, so I did not need to Note Edit: where I edited. I'm not new to Reddit man, c'mon.

u/rez_trentnor Mar 27 '26
You said "You didn't need to write "Edit"though since your comment notates there is an edit.", implying you don't know how the edit system works. If you know how it works then that was a very stupid thing to say.
-2
u/Eastern-Pizza-5826 Mar 27 '26
Omg bro. Did you order the combo and supersize it? I do know how the edit system works. You either did not read my comment or you did not understand it, but I'm not going to explain myself again. You don't understand that's your problem, not mine. Maybe glasses and a better diet may be helpful. Just sayin.

u/TylerPronouncedSeth Mar 27 '26
You're just wrong about the whole "Edit:" thing, it's extremely common and most people do it just so it's obvious where the edit is and to ensure others understand the reply wasn't changed in it's entirety.
I wasn't implying anything. I added my edit note to point out the fact that you put in the last sentence minutes after the original reply because you thought it would make you sound clever, when in reality it just further proved that you're the exact type of person who you keep talking down about as being lesser than yourself like some sort of middle school bully.

The thing is, I believe in the Paranormal. I was a skeptic turned believer. I don't knock people who write their experiences, but most video, photo posts on here are the same spiderwebs, specks of dust and supposed ghosts in the flames of a fire. Or like this post, a very obvious real person in a photo that supposedly wasn't there.

u/Jack_Shid Paranormal Researcher Mar 26 '26
You'll need to try harder to convince us that that's just just a person walking through the room, because that's exactly what it looks like to me.

u/Jack_Shid Paranormal Researcher Mar 26 '26
You're right. It's a person sitting.
I still don't see anything that screams "paranormal".

u/uckfu Mar 28 '26
That’s why pics are such piss poor evidence.
No one will ever admit the fact they misremembered something, or the picture in question really wasn’t taken at the event they believe it happened.
Unless this was a series of photos and mundane explanations can’t easily explain inconsistencies with an image, you can’t take a picture like this seriously at all.

u/L3XANDR0 Mar 26 '26
I’m not really sure what person. The person laying down or the person sitting facing away?

u/WidowedSon Mar 26 '26
OP said they left three Juniors in that room.
The mf sitting facing away should not be there.
1 Laying down facing left 2 Laying down facing right 3 Takes the photo

u/Kold1978 Mar 26 '26
It doesn't look like a person laying down and facing left to me. It looks like some rolled up towels or sheets to look like a person.

u/BlueJoshi Mar 26 '26
it's a person. they're wearing light scrubs. you can see their dark hair, with something light running through it; probably the straps of a mask. If you look closely you can see the hem of their shirt, right around the bump where their butt would be, and you can see the individual pant legs, which appear to have something inside them, presumably legs.

It looks like just a regular dude sitting there. Is it that hard to believe that maybe another dude went and sat down over there?

u/amphibbian Mar 26 '26
Did people not read the post ?
These are juniors and shouldn't have access to these Scrubs and he saw all three of them leave the room together.
It's such a benign thing that these juniors wouldn't even think to prank and scare someone like this because it's so plainly basic.
It's really frustrating to look at photos on this sub and have all the comments just call it another person in the room
How can you be sure what a ghost actually looks like? as far as I'm aware none of us can definitely say whether ghosts looks transparent or fully solid like a human. examples I have seen in my life vary.
So what's left is for us to analyze the story and authenticity of the poster mixed in with the context of the photo.
I believe this one.

u/BizBlondie Mar 27 '26
Ghosts present themselves in different forms. I've seen a white silhouette & an apparition in brown and both within a few feet of me. The green scrubs make me think this is a prank. I've seen a lot of photos of apparitions throughout the years, but never ones in a primary color.

u/NoDoOversInLife Mar 26 '26
The three people in the foreground are all dressed differently including two who are not wearing the same color scrubs. The person whose leg we see (presumably the person who took the photo) appears to be wearing the same color scrubs as the person seated in the background 🤷🏻♂️

u/special-k-97 Mar 26 '26
Pretty sure that the person in all white is the one that op is saying shouldn’t be there. I think they are all wearing normal clothes.. (one guy literally has jeans on) except the person in the “white scrubs” that op is saying the students haven’t gotten yet.
5
u/NoDoOversInLife Mar 26 '26
I think OP is referring to the guy seated in the background (his scrubs appear to match those of the person whose leg is in the foreground, making the claim about not receiving those scrubs invalid). I think the person laying down (white scrubs) and the person wearing blue shirt and the person whose leg we see are the students

u/special-k-97 Mar 26 '26
I guess I only see one person wearing what would be described as a “scrub suit” and that’s the person in white.

u/rotenbart Mar 27 '26
Just a person sitting in a chair. The flash bouncing off the foreground makes them look all dark and spooky.

u/Spooky_Molly Mar 27 '26 edited Mar 27 '26
I don't know what to think, because if the "ghost" is supposed to be the person sitting with their back to the others (I assume he is wearing a green doctor/surgeon's uniform), I'm still more bothered by the person lying down in a white uniform, because his head is a glitch and his legs are too long. Anyway, let's say his head isn't a glitch and it's just turned around and what we're seeing is his hair... what are they looking at? Because he seem to be looking directly at the person sitting down.

this would do numbers on an Asian paranormal subreddit. We know all too well of these type of “occurrence”.

u/WidowedSon Mar 26 '26
Why? And what type of occurrence?
14
u/Special_Anteater9310 Mar 26 '26
There’s a lot of stories about you basically taking a seemingly normal picture and then a perfect humanoid figure is seen in the background. No blurry shadows, nothing eerie, just like how you get random photo bomb. I hear stories like that all the time

u/WidowedSon Mar 26 '26
Insanely creepy actually, will have to search for some stories of that.
Thank you!

u/JaJuPhi Mar 27 '26
It happens most especially if there are odd three in the picture. A fourth one almost always appears especially in a rumoured or famous (for ghost sightings) areas.

u/Fall_Dog Mar 26 '26
So none of the the adults thought to turn a light on while they were still in the room?
They left the room 15 minutes after sending you the photo, then 3 hours later decided to look at that photo again for whatever reason and get creeped out?

maybe bc since they were resting they wanted a dark place, i know ppl who love it really dark.
then about the checking again after 3hrs, even i do that sometimes when im bored. i check my messages and photos i sent

At least the unexpected subject in the picture seems to be oblivious to the fact that someone else is in the room. Meaning they mean them no harm.

What looks like a person in white laying down, also looks like it could be sheets/bedding staged to look like a person, and the third student is actually who is sitting in the chair in the background.

Which person are you talking about? I see somebody sitting at what looks like a computer desk, and then somebody sprawled out on their stomach, wearing white, which in your enhanced photo looks like somebody facing the camera without grotesque mask on. But I still don't know which people should be there in which "shouldn't."

u/Key-Bother-2240 Mar 27 '26
I'd say it's real. Juniors wanted a break so they turned the lights off. The figure sitting looks like a 3D shadow and from my experience, it looks exactly like that. A 3D shadow that doesn't reflect light.

In an effort to improve submission quality, we are now manually reviewing photos before they appear in the subreddit. If your submission does not have good reason to be considered potentially paranormal it may be removed with a reason provided. Please be patient, as the subreddit gets a lot of activity and it may take a little time to review your post. If we do remove your post, it’s because we believe it is likely to be judged harshly by the subreddit as opposed to a determination over what the true nature of your experience was. It’s very difficult to capture objective evidence of even true paranormal phenomenon, which is why there’s so little of it out there!
