A resident of Scotland took a photo of an abandoned building, and then could not believe his eyes when he looked at the finished picture. A woman's face was looking at him from there, but the man is sure that there was no one in the ruins of the house. Finding an explanation for what he saw was not easy.

A photographer from Scotland, who wished to remain anonymous, decided to arrange an unusual photo shoot. His choice fell on several abandoned buildings that are located in one of the parks in the North Ayrshire region. After taking a couple of pictures, he went to the Studio to print them out, and then looked at the finished result.

In abandoned buildings, mysticism often happens, and the case of a man was no exception. In one photo, the Scot saw the ghostly silhouette of a woman who looked at him from a window. However, the man claims that there was no one in the building, and he was alone in the ruins. Despite the fact that the woman's face looks scary, he is glad that he was able to capture it. Moreover, the hero of the story shared the frame with all his friends who love mysticism and riddles.

I'm happy that I was able to capture something like a Ghost. I'm even proud to be able to show photos to people who love riddles.

Many people, according to the photographer, are inclined to believe that this is a Ghost who loves to talk to children, although the author of the picture is in no hurry to draw conclusions. He even looked at the frame under a microscope, but did not come to the truth. Of course, you can speculate, but the human brain makes us see familiar features everywhere, especially if we look at them long enough. Moreover, the photographer, according to him, does not particularly believe in ghosts and other mystical phenomena.

I don't like the term "paranormal". As for ghosts, I don't know if they exist. I don't even know how to define them. What's it? Energy?

Original news

With Halloween just around the corner, all things spooky are starting to surface, and this creepy photo has started to make the rounds.

In the picture of some old Scottish ruins located in Douglas Park, North Ayrshire, you see what appears to be a human face peering out of one of the windows.

The face can be seen extremely clearly, as if someone is stood there – but there was no one to be seen when the photograph was taken.

For sceptics on social media, the photographer provided the negatives of the photos taken where the eerie figure can still be seen, leaving everyone completely stumped.

The photographer behind the picture, who wished to remain anonymous, said: 

At the time of taking the picture I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, nothing weird. When I develop a film, I always scan it. It makes it easier to determine the quality of the photo and which is worthy of being made into a print using the enlarger.

The face was pretty obvious on the scan. I felt happy that I captured something that looks like this – something I find interesting to look at – and later a bit proud to have something to show people who like mysteries.

People online congratulated the photographer on the unique picture, with one writing, ‘Well I’ll give you credit, my photographer friend, I’m having trouble debunking this one,’ while someone else said, ‘Holy crap. I can’t see how this isn’t real. Amazing.’

Someone else dubbed the picture as the ‘most compelling evidence’ they had seen for a long time, adding that it was a ‘great catch’.

Despite people leaning towards believing the picture to be of a real ghost, the photographer himself remains unconvinced.

He said, ‘I honestly don’t think, even after looking at it through a microscope, that there is enough detail to make up specific facial features. Of course it is possible to speculate, but the human brain makes us see familiar features everywhere, especially when we look at it long enough.’

The Scottish resident continued:

As a general rule, I don’t like the term ‘paranormal’. If it exists, it is normal. In the case of ghosts, I don’t know if they exist. I wouldn’t even know how to define a ghost. Is it matter? Energy? Something we don’t understand? I would like to encourage people to come up with their own theories.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you can’t deny the photograph is pretty convincing.

Multiple exposure or multiple exposure

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

Mounting

Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)
