Recently, ghosts have increasingly "photobombed" other people's images, that is, they suddenly appear in the pictures of people, making them horrified or, on the contrary, delighted with the encounter with the supernatural. Perhaps people from the other world in this way joke about the living or protest against the craze of modern earthlings for selfies and other types of photography.
So, on Friday, December 2, the thirty-three-year-old Indian Namit Vayas went on a trip to nature with his relatives and friends. The man took with him a digital SLR camera, with the help of which he took about fifty pictures on vacation. As the cars drove past the desert in the evening, the Indians stopped to warm up, drink and get some fresh air. Namit photographed his thirty-three-year-old wife Anita and three-year-old daughter Illisha against the backdrop of the sands, after which he forgot about the picture taken. This happened at traffic junction number nine near the city of Sharjah.
Only a few days later, the family decided to look at the photos received during the trip and suddenly noticed something unusual in that very image. In the foreground, a translucent human silhouette is captured, as if raising his hands to the sky. According to the photographer, at the time of shooting, only his close relatives were in the frame. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the Vayases mistook the figure that had appeared from nowhere for a ghost.
Anita attracted a guest from the other world?
Namit, who works as a sales manager, says: “I usually process my images before uploading them to the web, but here I did not do any retouching. This photo was taken by my camera. One gets the impression that this is some kind of ephemeral entity, which was fixed only in the picture. We did not see anything like this then, although we looked at each other from a short distance. Personally, the ghost in the picture didn't scare me too much, but Anita is still uncomfortable. When she was little, she often saw something in her parents' house that defies rational explanation. Perhaps, just being a medium by nature, she attracted the phantom."
The image quickly spread across the World Wide Web. Skeptics believe that there is nothing supernatural on it: they say, the photographer used a long shutter speed, and one of the family's friends appeared in the frame for a short time. If you look closely at the alleged phantom, you can see on its back something like a lilac backpack, and on its feet - light-colored shoes resembling sneakers.
Nevertheless, many other Internet users believe that this is a real ghost, because with a long exposure, three-year-old Illisha would certainly have blurred, since children are not able to freeze even for a short time. In addition, the Indian nowhere mentions a long exposure, as well as a possibly running friend (it's hard not to notice, especially for a photographer), and no one uses such a shutter speed today - there is a flash lamp for this. It turns out that the point here is not in the marriage of the photograph, but in the phantom that has appeared …
