Not aibu but this has been bugging me for over a year!

Without giving any context, I was wondering what people see (if anything) in the yellow circle.

I will come back and give context but just curious what people think it is or might be?

First pictrue is the original, Second has been lightened to see if it makes it any clearer.

To me it looks like a little girl with blond curly hair. She's wearing a blue jacket with the hood up.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/03/2021 01:56

Well coat rather than a jacket

A guy with longish hair and a tache

@trn897

I'm way too invested in this now for this hour but my mums other hand ends before the 'thing'.
That's totally changed

It looks like light being reflected on the wall, which happens to vaguely resemble a face.

Looks like one of those 4D baby scans - an out of focus baby face.

Looks like a man in a hood holding a can of Heiniken Grin

That's what I came to say. Are you sure there wasn't a homeless guy in the archway next to her? Or even one of the hotel staff who'd nipped out on his break.

A blob. Not a supernatural blob.

Literallynoidea · 22/03/2021 05:43

Love this. Where was the pic taken?

NormanStangerson · 22/03/2021 06:36

Who took the photo and why?

Onedropbeat · 22/03/2021 08:07

Oooh creepy

Woodpecker22 · 22/03/2021 08:12

You should send the photo to the hotel to see if anyone else has reported any similar experiences.

LubaLuca · 22/03/2021 08:16

It's your mum's hand holding a cigarette.

DynamoKev · 22/03/2021 08:18

It's a dress, with blue stripes.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 22/03/2021 08:34

Not blue, white and gold!
Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 22/03/2021 08:35

I see an Elizabethan style bloke with a moustache and longish dark hair

...or it could be a thumb

DrSbaitso · 22/03/2021 08:39

It resembles a face in a hood, because pareidolia, but from the proportions etc it clearly isn't. It's light thrown inside the doorway on the bricks, further distorted by the camera, flash and so on. Mildly creepy to look at but there's nothing there.

LudoBear · 22/03/2021 08:46

Can you find a photo of the hotel online and see if you can find the spot they were stood at? You might be able to see the door/archway.

LB00 · 22/03/2021 08:58

Hand with a fag?! I see a blond haired bloke with a hood up and a moustache lol
