You know the scene in the movie “Three Men and a Baby” when the grandma of the baby comes to visit? Ted Danson, Granny, and I think the baby (it’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie) are moving from one room to another, and there’s this boy standing in the background, kind of through the windows. Who is this kid and why didn’t anyone notice? Having heard all the suicide stories, it’s kind of depressing and creepy. Will somome PLEASE tell me what’s up?
snopes explains it all: http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/3menbaby.htm
I know that it has been explained as a joke, but if you rent the tape and freeze it on that spot, you can see that it looks nothing like Ted Danson.
They say that it is a life-size prop of him, but there is no resemblence. IMHO that is.
I do believe in ghosts, and I have a picture of one that was taken by myself. I was taking a picture of my son in my grandmothers back yard, and along the fenceline is a little girl who is in black and white.
I would post it for you guys if only I could figure out how.
Not to hijack or anything, but does anybody know of any good ghost picture site? I have been looking for actual ghosts, and not energy balls. I do have a great picture of those also.
Anyway, rent the tape and look at is closely and decide for yourself is my suggestion.

Look at the link Zulu provided, Kricket. They have stills from the movie. There is a total resemblance. Plus since the scene was filmed in a Toronto soundstage, the haunted apartment story is bullshit from the get-go.
I don’t know anything about energy balls, but if you can find a website that explains the paranoraml phenomena that allowed Steve Guttenberg to star in so many movies, shoot me a link.
Gypsy: Tom, I don’t get you.
Tom Servo: Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby.
No, I know that it was done on a sound stage, but I really don’t think that it looks like Ted Danson.
I mean think about the picture that I took of my son. No children died in either of those back yards. Both my grandparents and the neighbors lived there since that area of land was developed for housing.
Where did she come from then? What rules say that if you are a ghost that you have to stay where you died?
I believe that everybody has spirit guides or you can call the guardian angels if you wish. Maybe that is where the boy came from. I just don’t see the resemblence. I will look at it again.

I think that kind of begs the question. But anyway, thats more in the realm of Great Debates.
Gypsy: Tom, I don’t get you.
Tom Servo: Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby.
There is another scene in the movie that shows the cut-out better. You can clearly see that it is Ted Danson in a top hat and tuxedo.
I always try to do things in chronological order.
Kricket, if we assume that the figure isn’t a cutout of Ted Danson, why is the next logical step to assume that it’s a ghost?
Okay, I give! I can kinda see the resmeblance after seeing the second picture. I hadn’t seen the other picture before.
I do think that the shirt front isn’t long enuff in the first one for it to be the second one, but that could just be a play on distance and lighting.
As for then why a ghost? I dunno, maybe not then. All I know is that the first time I saw it it gave me the creeps! I never believed the whole it was on a second floor of an apartment, or that you could make out a gun up to his head.
Stanger things have happened where weird things show up on film. Maybe the reason it gave me the creeps is because you only see it for a second or so and then it’s gone.
And yes, I understand that they have to do retakes and such, so that would explain that. I am not all that senseless.

Are you stuck on stupid?
Kricket,
Let’s try and see if we can figure a non-supernatural explanation of the ghost-like figure in your picture of your son. One of the most common causes of such figures appearing in photographs is that the film has been double-exposed. Think back to when you took the picture of your son. Had you taken pictures on the same roll of film that might include a young girl? Does the camera have to be forwarded by hand and you forgot to, or does it do it automatically but it was broken?
Check out http://www.artbell.com. It’s pretty well accepted that Art Bell is a looney, but there are some interesting pictures on his site. In fact, you may be seeing one that I took before too long 
.
Anyway, just give him an e-mail and he’ll consider putting your pic up.
