So I'm not all that on 'woo' but this picture that a friend took - well AIBU to be a bit shocked?

[FarFromAnyRoad]

Taken at Norwood catacombs today but a friend who is the very antithesis of anything woo - as am I, mostly. I mean - I can see a person shaped shape - but she insists there was nobody there and I do believe her. What do you think?

[NinkyNonkers]

Me too...must be a blurred shadow?

[Trills]

She's lying to wind you up.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Yep, freaky.

[trufflesnout]

You are taking the piss? There is someone clearly there. The upper half of them is blurred because they were moving and the photo was taken in terrible lighting

[DayToDayShit]

deffo a person there on the right

[cuntycowfacemonkey]

I used to love being freaked out by this sort of thing but someone ruined it for me by asking why ghosts are never seen or pictured wearing addidas trainers or a Gap jumper? I mean it stands to reason that not ALL ghosts will be from the Victorian era.

Why would she have taken that photo? There's nothing there worth photographing. Also, no flash. You'd use a flash if you wanted a photo in the dark.

She'll be winding you up. Photoshop probably do stick on ghosts/shadows now

[FenellaFellorick]

that's someone walking past while your friend was taking a picture.

Either she forgot they were there or she was going to take a picture, they walked past, she paused to let them go but accidentally pressed the button without realising it.

[FarFromAnyRoad]

Honestly - I don't think she'd lie to me because she knows I am just not at all gullible with this sort of thing. Normally anything 'woo' leaves me and telling the person to put the cooking sherry down. But I know she was at the catacombs today and I absolutely know her photoshop abilities are zero. Which is really why I am shocked at this - never seen anything like it.

[CuttedUpPear]

It's a GHOST!

[hiddenhome]

If she's taken it in the dark then a passing person would come out distorted as the others have said. The camera struggles to make sense of what it 'sees' and you get blurs.

[FarFromAnyRoad]

Well - I don't know - - has anyone else ever seen something like this and wondered?

[BathshebaDarkstone]

Yes definitely a person there.

[hoobypickypicky]

Whatever/whoever it is, it's throwing a shadow in its own right.

I used to live near West Norwood Cemetery. I didn't even know it had catacombs.

I'm not woo but that's odd because it has its own shadow.

[SwedishEdith]

Was there a post like you get at the end of a staircase (a newell post?) in the way? Something close to the camera. If not, it's definitely a ghost.

[FarFromAnyRoad]

You see - someone up there asked why she would take a picture of that. I can assure you that she would! She does take some good pics but doesn't weed them out so that some are of just......things. Doors, walls - that sort of thing!
This doesn't really scare me - I'm more interested in if it is at all possible (whilst the voice in my head says 'of course it's bloody not!')

[FarFromAnyRoad]

I don't know Swedish - can't ask her yet because she's gone out for the night.

[FenellaFellorick]

the shadow will be as a result of whatever is making that orange light on the top left of the picture.

[SwedishEdith]

Ring her

[FarFromAnyRoad]

She'll be half cut by now Edith - and will probably have stern words with me for asking MN about this!

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Of course it's a ghost. We're all ghosts. I'm stark raving ghostly right now. WoooOoOOoOOoo.

[WorraLiberty]

Oh don't talk shit OP.

I can't see anything strange...

[FarFromAnyRoad]

Ah and here's the voice of reason - our very own very worldly worra! That big white ghostie thing has convinced me - it's fucking haunted!
