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?? 😬 😭

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

It's a face in profile - I've labelled it for all you doubters

@Shannith do you think it might look a bit like Sid from ice age? Grin

It's pretty much a textbook example of photographic backscatter, as a PP said. You can take the exorcist off speed-dial.

Think it looks like a lost sheep ghost.

Herd it on Op!

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 05/08/2019 18:23

Surely that's a finger print on the camera lens?

WalkofShame · 05/08/2019 18:24

Is it that fella off the film about animals in the ice age? Can’t remember what the film’s called or the characters name. Any ideas anyone?

InMyOwnParticularIdiom · 05/08/2019 18:24

Um I thought the face on the floor under the purple blob is the scary bit??

IvanaPee · 05/08/2019 18:24

Yes but can anyone see Sid from Ice Age? HmmGrin

slipperywhensparticus · 05/08/2019 18:25

His lense needs cleaning

IvanaPee · 05/08/2019 18:25

Yeah, sorry @Duckyneedsaclean that’s not a thing!

Didn't see it at first, but now you've pointed out the features it is very clearly and unmistakably a murderous ghost. HTH

It’s something on your lense.

FadedRed · 05/08/2019 18:34

Backscatter + Pareidolia = “must be something paranormal”

igotdemons · 05/08/2019 18:36

The purple shape looks like a ghost cat to me! 👻🐱

Pillowcased · 05/08/2019 18:37

I think @NorksofPlenty may feel it's a murderous ghost, though, OP. She may feel this quite strongly, actually.

WildfirePonie · 05/08/2019 18:39

Looks like a cobweb!
