Is this a real ghost?

[Garrette]

Is this a real ghost
Is it just fantasy
Caught in on-line scams
My escape from reality

Open your eyes
Look out for blurred lines
And see...

Sorry, every time I see this thread title, I get Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in my head.

It's not Bohemian Rhapsody. It's the ghost of Freddie M.

He is The Gray Lady of the Millennial Age.

It is times like this I wish I had any sort of talent with Photoshop.

Someone once asked the question, maybe it was even on this forum, "what would it take to get you to believe in the paranormal?" A number of folks said that seeing would be believing for them. Fair enough, I won't speak for them, but if I saw a ghost, my main fear would be a brain tumor, or mental illness, or early-onset dementia. These are things that we know exist. I know my brain could do things to fool me, and those real, known things are far more likely than speculative spectres.

Need to add that if you came to me for ghost advice I'd tell you to check your furnace and the CO2 level inside your house. I'd also ask if you'd done any remodeling using drywall, and then ask if it's from China and check for out-gassing.

CO2 is a hidden factor in many "hauntings" since some heaters are only used...cue scary music...at night.

Check out the video of Electric 6's cover version of Radio Ga Ga if you want to see Freddie Mercury's ghost

Why can I never find that "enhance" button?

Ghosts don't wear green shirts.

Unless they're gay and it's Thursday.

ETA: What? Your high school didn't have that "tradition?"

My question to people who present this pictures of ghosts is always the same: So pieces of clothing also have souls and come back, just like their human owners do?

If it was a reflection, I think we would expect to see the boundaries of the figure overlap the tool box and the kid in the back of the truck. Instead, the figure seems to be cut off/obscured by those objects as if it's behind those things.

I think the most likely scenario is that this is a photoshop of the same kid that's in the back of the truck. 2nd most likely, some weird artifact that resulted from the phone taking a longer exposure while the kid in the back was in motion -like an HDR exposure or something.

I'd like to see a shot of the kid in back to compare to the "ghost." Seems to be wearing the same kinds of clothes -cap and shirt.
