Fake back story...

We were out camping in Louisiana last summer, and kept hearing the nearby sounds of a child crying one night. Rather than assume there was a logical explanation for this, we decided that it must be a ghost, having previously been told that the bodies of murdered african americans from the slave era had been buried in the area. We were messing around, posing for photographs, and on one of them, we later spotted that our ghost had shown up! If you dont post this comment on 5 other videos this ghost child will come to ur house and kill u 2nite!!!

Why is the ghost baby white if murdered African-American bodies were buried here? Looks white, anyway.

(Desaturated, fixed perspective, added fish-eye lens effect, tv-scanlines, grain and gradients, then tinkered with levels. Added date to left corner and blurred the gently caress out of it. Duplicated frame 11 times, added unique grain to each frame, made a color-error scanline move downwards in each frame. Last, drew light orb and its floor reflection on top of each frame.)

guandi: Feb 7, 2004; I won't go into detail about
the dreams, but at
least they are not as scary.

I was out in my grandmothers back yard trying to take a picture of the sunset for a desktop background, I took a few snaps and was about to put my camera away when I heard "Oh my word!" from behind me. I looked round to my gran and saw she was staring straight upwards so followed her gaze to see a moving triangular "light" in the sky and I suddenly felt that buzz you sometimes get when you walk under powerlines as it passed overhead. Then I noticed my phone was vibrating in my hand at the same time so I moved my hand up to look as I didn't want to look away from the light and noticed the screen was white too. As it moved away from us the phone went back to normal and I just got the camera fired up in time to get this picture.

It looks strange in the picture thanks to my crappy camera, but it was actually transparent, just reflecting and diffusing the light of the sunset at the edges and in three moving patches on the bottom of the craft. Unlike most triangular UFO sightings this one seemed to fly edgeways first instead of with the point at the front and although I have no reference for the height or size of it it moved from directly above me to the position in the photo in about 10-12 seconds and just as I pressed the shutter it sort of went "blurry" and shot off, pointy bit first to the left like a "normal" UFO.

Aliens, gotta be.

(I was going to start a thread about spoofing UFO/Paranormal encounters to fool the more gullable public and generally see how much you can get away with before people realise they are being fooled, but oh well, this will have to do. Apologies for the poor quality picture, I got 2 more I spent alot more time on that I need to resize and finish the stories of that I shall post over the next couple of days.)

I took the original picture with my cellphone camera, I had to actually add the noise to make it look like a typical grainy ufo picture.

EDIT: By the way the 'UFO' is a pie plate that I shrunk down and used the blur tool to distort.

There's supposed to be a "face" in the lower left, but it's clearly just a pile of vaguely anthropomorphic stones distorted by the water.

LeechCode5: Dec 19, 2004; Burn, Galactica! You're finished, Adama!

Alright, my fake photo and fake story:

This photo was allegedly taken some time ago in the cemetery in Virginia City, Nevada. No one is sure of the identity of the strange apparition in the picture, but people who visit the cemetery to this day claim to see him. One story says he was a prospector who was screwed out of a claim during the silver rush, and killed himself out of despair. Others think he died in the Great Fire of 1875, and say that his presence is accompanied by the stench of burnt flesh. We'll probably never know for sure.
