It's very odd....I wish I could zoom!

Select the orangey-red fabric is a jacket. In the first photo she was wearing it and in the second photo she had it tied around her waist.

FruOla · 10/08/2013 10:42

Gibber, sorry, yes you are correct (her post about the photo was Thu 08-Aug-13 17:46:22, to be precise)! I must have slipped into helly's time slip this morning Grin

SelectAUserName · 10/08/2013 10:32

I'm on my phone so can't make either photo out clearly, but in the second you appear to be holding some sort of orangey-red fabric? A scarf or something? Is that not the "beard" in the first pic? Were you playing around with it, wrapped it round your head or something?

GibberTheMonkey · 10/08/2013 10:27

Thurs 8th Smile
Unless time is a bit wibbly wobbly for helly which may explain

Ok the beard is shakey camera work
But the feet! Or lack of

YouMakeMeWannaLaLa · 10/08/2013 09:05

Wow...it was everything I wanted and more.

Thank you helly the most glamorous bearded lady ever Grin

mynxy · 10/08/2013 08:25

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's properly made me laugh (and get you being so gorgeous!) after shamelessly lurking on the other thread - alas I have no stories of woo, it passes me by.

FruOla · 10/08/2013 07:55

kreecher, this refers to a post that hellymelly made on this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1817547-Does-anyone-remember-this-spooky-experience-told-on-MN (I don't know if you've seen it?). It's quite a long thread; helly's post, describing this weird photo, was on Thu 7 Aug at about 17.00 hours.

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 10/08/2013 07:05

So I suppose what I'm saying is "It's OK it's just your face"
Does that help :o

FrancesDeLaTourCoughngIntoABin · 10/08/2013 07:04

That is brilliant :o
I suspect the person who took it had the hand shakes? So your "beard" is actually your face, blurry
Very odd though
Or did you just nip behind a tree and veet yourself in between pics 1 and 2?

FruOla · 10/08/2013 06:57

That is just the weirdest photo Shock. You look nothing like you in the second photo.

ExasperatedSigh · 10/08/2013 06:31

Can't see it properly on my phone. I will have to fire up the laptop later. I need the ghost beard fix.

GibberTheMonkey · 10/08/2013 00:52

Ah
I left the app
It's starting to get clearer

I saw the word beards and came running but am no wiser

kreecherlivesupstairs · 10/08/2013 00:44

Confused have I stumbled into some strange doesn't make any sense to me area of MN? or am I just uber stressed about our move, flight tickets, hotel...

Quaffle · 10/08/2013 00:38

That's brilliant and so bizarre!

Hundreds of years ago a bloke reluctantly shaved his beard off at the urging of his wife who only wanted him for his money. She subsequently blackmailed a villager into murdering her husband and they buried him in the woods. His body was never found and to this day his beard still wanders the woods, sadly searching for its owner. From time to time it attaches itself to a passing face in the hope of finding a new home. But it's never the same :(

BehindLockNumberNine · 09/08/2013 23:58

I keep coming back to this, it is an absolutely fascinating photo. I am sure there is a very rational, sane, technical explanation.

But perhaps, just perhaps, it was a quick time-slip-esque glimpse into the future when all women grow beards and master the art of hovering....

I thought maybe my feet were behind the grass, but the grass was very short (sheep there). The skirt is long, but hits at the ankle, as you can see in pic 2. Uggh, I don't like the missing feet at all.

BramblyHedge · 09/08/2013 23:52

Tbh the lack of feet is creeping me out more than the beard

mrscumberbatch · 09/08/2013 23:51

That is one of the oddest things!

I hope it was worth the wait, am off to bed now, rather spooked, as in the actual picture it is sharper and really looks like someone elses face.

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 09/08/2013 23:49

And I had to click on this right before bed!

seasalt · 09/08/2013 23:46

oooh that is weird!
