Please tell me this is not a ghost, even though it obviously is and I have to move

We have lived here for 6 years and haven't got around to looking in the loft space above my sons' room. I have for no particular reason always been convinced that it is a bit creepy. Yesterday DH looked in, said it was empty and took a photo to show me.

I didn't look at the photo until today.

We're going to be murdered by this grinning ghost head aren't we?? 😬 😭

Or the day before

@Fartintheloft @Clawdy please forgive my terrible editing skills but see the pic I've edited - it looks like a boy with a hat on and arms folded and wearing shorts facing the left of the picture. Please someone else tell me they can see it and I'm not completely mad Grin

I can vaguely make it out InFive. The hat looks like a first world war helmet to me!

@MyNameIsArthur oddly it is clearer in the original photo rather than when it is zoomed in, I was just trying to make it easier to show it!

Yes it does look like a helmet I agree.

Please come back OP and let us know what your private message said Brew

SeaSaltandLime · 07/08/2019 18:31

@MyNameIsArthur It's quite sinister looking isn't it?

Satsuma1234 · 07/08/2019 18:38

Feck that. Burn your house down and run for the hills.

IamHyouweegobshite · 07/08/2019 18:42

I can make out, what looks like a casper ghost.

Oh lor ALL the faces. I wanted you to make me feel better not worse!

The psychic pm didn't make a great amount of sense to me, I have to admit.

I'm going to make dh go up and take another photo. For science.

IamHyouweegobshite · 07/08/2019 18:46

Omg, it has changed in the pic, gone from goofy teeth, to a sideways glance, looking worried. Confused

RosaWaiting · 07/08/2019 18:47

Disappointed to hear the psychic PM was no good.

Waiting for a poster to spot the miracle of Peckham in this now Grin

He said there was a man who had died of cancer, proceeded by his wife. He wanted to see the boy because he died 6 months before he was born. And the lady has a watch of his.

But I moved here 6 years ago so literally no idea about previous occupants. And don't have any watches!

I might be thick but that doesn’t make much sense to me. What boy does he mean?

CurlyhairedAssassin · 07/08/2019 19:16

Do they even have any boys??

MyNameIsArthur · 07/08/2019 19:18

@InFiveMins I looked at the original and now i can see several faces in it!

@SeaSaltandLime It is sinister. The girl looks afraid

@Duckyneedsaclean how old is your house? Have a look at the copy of the deeds you have to find out previous owners or contact your local library to see if they have electoral roll records. Did you see the fuzzy bit before you took the photo or did you see it when you looked at the photo after?

SeaSaltandLime · 07/08/2019 19:21

@Duckyneedsaclean Could the 'boy' be in reference to the creepy doll face?!

kitk · 07/08/2019 19:24

It's a tooth fairy, not a ghost. Don't worry. Maybe just tell her the little kids live down the road. HTH

A clearer picture I managed to fix I t using my high tech equipment

I can't see any of the faces etc everyone is mentioning. The only one I can see (and it took me ages to see it) is the clown looking face @Sparkledot pointed out.

MyNameIsArthur · 07/08/2019 19:49

My DP couldn't see anything either. Maybe it's the way our brains are wired!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 07/08/2019 19:54

I have been posting in the “has Brexit been affecting your mental health?” thread. I do wonder if we are just desperate to see a friendly face in OP’s photo...

(Disclaimer: evil clown doesn’t fall into that category)

TopBitchoftheWitches · 07/08/2019 19:55

There is nothing there, nothing at all!

CurlyhairedAssassin · 07/08/2019 19:57

I think that’s been established, TopBitch, we are all just contributing to the interesting psychological phenomenon where we say what we see. Aka “Catchphrase”.
