I like these photos with creepy stuff in them instead. Finding Slenderman? Awesome. Most of these were obvious. ---

The panda man (#19) is [Liu Bolin](http://www.google.com/search?q=liu+bolin&hl=en&prmd=imvnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=EqqOUMfcCefm2AXKjYHgCg&ved=0CCcQsAQ&biw=1502&bih=942), who has made many more pictures in that fashion. ---

> [@randwill](#): > > I don’t think there is any manipulation of #13. The edge of the ridge that the four people are sitting on blends into the distant ground where the walking person is. It’s outdoors, so the camera’s aperture is closed way down, providing a lot of depth of field so both the main subjects and the distant figure are clear. Yeah, I don’t think that’s manipulated at all. Just a variation of the [“holding up tiny person in the background”](http://content.photojojo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/perspective-lg.jpg) effect that most every amateur photographer comes across. To tell you the truth, none of the pictures look manipulated to me at all. The only one that was questionable was Panda Man, and it looks like that one’s real, too. ---

**Inforvore** , is that one the chicken on the couch? Because that was the first thing I noticed. [Here’s another good one](http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee310/victorscarlesi/GreatCamo.jpg), though everyone’s probably seen it already. ---

Above the pillow, right between the lamp & the window is something decidedly ‘chicken-looking’ but I think it’s just a red herring to help hide the (genuinely) creepy face. ---

Ooh, I see that now, and cannot unsee it. I’m pretty sure it’s just the upholstery, though: Compare to the decorative rivets on the front of the couch arm. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Ooh, I see that now, and cannot unsee it. I’m pretty sure it’s just the upholstery, though: Compare to the decorative rivets on the front of the couch arm. You know, you may be right about that. I saw it after about 10 seconds of looking, and it never occurred to me that it wasn’t a face. But it could very well be the upholstery. ---

Are we still talking about[this picture](http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j449/magonia1/article-2094339-1188DE0C000005DC-318_634x473.jpg)? 'Cause that’s a face. No question. Creepy face. Left edge of the frame. Person lying behind the pillow. Forehead, brow, eye, half a nostril, mouth, chin…How does that face look like upholstery?
