One of the scariest things I've ever seen

is here (NOT for the faint-hearted, trust me on this)

It’s on Snopes, under Inboxer Rebellion, in the Hoaxes section, with the tagline “Tourist dies while being photographed in the Sundarbans”, if the link doesn’t work. I just typed in the address at a guess because the photograph is so damn freaky.

Can anybody tell me about the text on the page? What does it say?

Kyth… Never play Project Zero, dude.

The next page leads to other picture that this “Ghost” appears in, each one looking more photoshopped than the last. Completley fake, but ok, she is kinda creepy, in a white-asian-floating-spirit way.

The point is that it’s a hoax. Trick photographs aren’t hard to do. Indeed, these days, with Photoshop, they’re extremely easy. Relax. Nobody was killed in the fabrication of this urban legend.

See http://www.castleofspirits.com/hoaxghost.html from the snopes links.

Shame, in the ‘olden’ days it would take a little skill and work on double exposure photography to make such a picture, now photoshop takes the skill out of such things.

I know it’s fake (the way Snopes filed it kind of gave it away)–just wanted to know the story behind it. Thanks, guys. :slight_smile:

It doesn’t take the skill out of doing them well, though. The one in the OP is a particularly bad example of Photoshop work.

Yeah. It’s about as scary as a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, mostly because it looks about equally realistic.

Do you have any links to more realistic photoshopped asian ghost hoaxes, then?

Dude, when I photoshop an Asian ghost hoax, it looks so real you can’t ever sleep again. Adult men and women are driven mad at the site of my photoshopped Asian ghost hoaxes. That’s why I swore never to show one off again.

I think it’s scarier that the thread below this one was “My man thong is wrong, yet…”

Eh, I always thought this one was scarier.

Sweet dreams.

Man, that 403 Error is scary as hell. :stuck_out_tongue:

Snopes has far scarier pictures.

WARNING! The following link is creepy as hell. Do not look at it if you are easily creeped out. (It’s the Brian Peppers link, for those who already have seen it.)

Well, that’s convenient. I had just decided that I never wanted to sleep again, and after seeing that picture, I’m pretty confident I won’t.

That picture’s got a date with my Call of Cthulhu group…

In the meantime, enjoy these.

Whoa, what a babe. She’s got some Goth Morticia thing going on. Did they get her phone number? I bet her computer has an ectoplasm screen. Instead of a chill, I got a chuckle. Thanks, Kyla. PS: Her favorite cereal is Ghost Toasties.

Link rot…the nosferatu of the modern age, I tell ya.

Try this one.

Looks like the profile photos over at the SpongeBoards.

Sorry, Kytheria! Getting your name mixed up with Kyla’s shows how my brain files names. Apparently it just matches the beginning and end of the name, and leaves the middle to fend for itself.

That one didn’t bother me until I scrolled down and saw it’s probably real. Jayz, nobody should be dealt a hand like that. Poor guy.
