She also took another picture of her daughter in the back garden, in front of a six foot fence. In this photo you can see two spirit babies floating just above either side of her head.

Of course you can post those photos on this forum?
Obtain them, scan them, and then post them. Are you game for that?

As I read through this site, my thoughts were - Blair Witch.
But, this is a much worse idea.
I am a horror writer myself, and the drive to find a new way to frighten and shock people can be quite high at times. Stephen King did it recently in 2 projects - one was Kingdom Hospital, after which he released a diary suppoedly written by a woman affected by what happened at the hospital. He claimed she sent him the diary because he has the contacts to publish it.
The other project is the house fo Rose Red. He made a film, then made a 'documentary' about the actual house the film was supposed to be based on, revealing the shocking 'truth' about supernatual occurences.

Now, I was shocked to discover how many people were fooled - even knowing that Stephen King has built an entire life on writing FICTION. Hello??

Blair Witch may have been a poor movie, all told, but the hype, and the planned publicity before the film was ever released and viewed was a stroke of genius. Many people hope to emulate this. But, pretending to lose a child, and then building a site like this is in very poor taste, in my opinion. And, I think it is clearly a hoax.
The page describing the deaths is unusually emotionless, for the kind of site it claims to be - which may be planned to make you believe it more - but it goes too far. Added to that, before I read here about the additional movie clip (what kind of twit keeps all his files together on a website????) I watched the hallway scene, and thought - mirror. I don't see this as spooky, it just seemed to me to be a recording of what you might see if there is a mirror on the end door, angled toward an open door to the left, where the child actor is. I've seen better.

People want to be fooled. I remember kids getting all hoo-harry about BWP until I showed the Time Magazine cover article which outlined the whole project. :( They were all disappointed until I pointed out that it was in fact rather optimistic in terms of any person (like themselves, even?) with a unique idea can do a cheap film and promote it with a little budget.

I demonstrated 'psychic' abilities as a lark to my tutorial group one day 'I sense... someone with a mother's name... starts with M.... maiden name....G... has a pet dog.....' - then told the kids after knowing them for three years and having access to their addresses and personal details on the synergetic program on the admin computers it was PRETTY DARN EASY to do this. But they still got all excited! :)

But yeah - this site sucks. :(
 
Here's another version in the 'movin' folder:

And compare it to the clearer one that Chocolate chip found:

http://mysonpeter.com/images/0/p3.mov

(Open them both in seperate windows and play them to see the different manipulations that he tried - opacity change and gaussian blur mostly)

Jeez - he left all his work in progress files in the folders on his site.

There is no doubt whatsoever that this is digitally faked.

This is pretty sick really.
And yet how many believers would refuse to believe it was fake?

Your mum told me she got them faked just to mess with your head.
 
Probably old news but I did find this on one of this guys pages:

"I built My Son Peter, a site about a man who was haunted by his dead sonÕs ghost and CassandraÕs Site about a girl locked away in a mental institution because she thought her boyfriend had become a warlock. As I went along I made mistakes and I learned from them but all the while I thought that what I was creating could some day be experienced on Interactive TV."

Go to this index page and download the page named icanstilltellyourwifebill.htm

The above story and a whole lot more is there. Just check the source code, the text won't show in the browser.

The story is fake of course.

... evidence?

It's the question we all have to ask, even if we get tired. Maybe we can split the burden from now on, so it won't be as tedious?

Wooow. Even worse than my son... couldn't she just pick up the phone, maybe?

Her acting is particularly bad. And I wonder why she didn't mention the third person running across the room with the camera. The other videos need some better casting, too.
 
Haha I went through the whole site too. I think its safe to say that its a joke. Each video clip was a dissapointment - I was looking for something spooky.

I liked those Blair Witch movies. Yea even the second one. Collective halucinations & loss of time stuff always gives me the creeps. :D

Is Peter claimed to be a ghost or spirit person?

Because in the theoretical sense a ghost isn't a conscious entity but a reflection, like a moving "fingerprint" repeating itself in the space where a lasting impression was made.
Thus a two-way communication with a ghost isn't possible, without a huge dose of wayward terminology acid expanding the borders of the actual concept of ghost.

There's no agreed upon theory among believers about what ghosts are. Each believer has his own ideas, and many believe that they directly communicate with ghosts.
 
I've always wanted to catalogue these wackos with their different ideas and then introduce them to each other - in the hopes that they would argue to death over their conflicting ideas.

Has anyone ever tried that?
 
My guess is that the camera isn't sensitive enough to detect the boy when he is in the shadow between the two rooms.
He disappears when he steps out of the light from the first room and appears again when he enters the light from the second one on the right.
The fact that the image is grainy as hell also indicates that the sensor is at it's limit.

The "ghost" effect was probably not intetional. I'd say he ran the movie through filter after filter until he got any paranormalish effect.
 
.....And was lame enough to leave all his trial-videos on the web-host for us to download.
 
What a sad tale! :( But it does reek of urban myth to me...

What struck me was that the boy in the film seemed a bit older than 4 yrs. The site states that Peter was born in 1988 and died in 1992. It's hard to tell but my initial thought was, 'this kid looks about 7 or 8. A friend I played it to independantly had the same thought.
