United States

A user of social news website Reddit under the pseudonym Narodweas posted on the online mysterious the made by his cousin in 1996 in Detroit. American was going through old photos and was amazed when noticed in this image, a pale human face.

The author of the publication writes: "the Background here is quite small. I was about 4 years old, and my cousin about 10. She just shot disposable Kodak point and shoot your home. Then one of my relatives took the trouble to show these pictures, but nothing interesting in the photos were not available, so they were thrown away. It is strange that no one noticed then in this image with sliding door anything out of the ordinary. I know that disposable cameras can be a problem with aging, leading to various artifacts, but I found other photos taken then cousin. The rest are all in perfect order, no even the slightest of defects no. Even if it's steam or cigarette smoke, it is still very weird and creepy that it has acquired clear shape of a human face.

Skeptics thought it parabolicheskie illusion, although among the materialists there were many who recognized that surround ephemeral the face looks too realistic. Clearly visible on his forehead, eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, nose, open mouth and even a dimple on his chin. And here's the weird part: the author claims not to notice the pictures of Smokey the Ghost (even if the defect is very similar to the Ghost) is practically impossible. Why is he "revealed" that many years? By the way, asking the researchers, this is not the first case when the traces of anomalous phenomena appear in the pictures immediately, but after some time. And this phenomenon still nobody really studied...

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Multiple exposure or multiple exposure

A special device, which is that the same frame is exposed ("photographed") several times.

Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.

Pareidolic illusion

A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).
