Ghost in The TV
This photo was sent in to me by one the Demontales.com readers, along with this letter.
“After a quite exciting evening of digging through my massive collection of old photos, I’ve finally managed to find the picture I mentioned in the forum. Not much of a story behind it, besides the fact that it was my eleventh birthday (that would make the year 2002) and my cousin and I were having a ‘fashion show’. The tv was turned off and the only people in the room were my cousin, me, and my mom, who was taking the photograph. We thought it might have been reflecting some of the various photographs on the opposite wall, but the faces don’t match and seem too clear to be reflected anyways. Nothing fancy about the area, either. It was in an apartment building that was built in 1995, and we were the first people in that apartment. Before that (way before) the area held an old tannery, but that’s all I know of the history.
I’ve edited the picture so my cousin and I aren’t recognizable, but other than that it is untouched.”

The faces of the people were removed so you can’t tell that it is just their reflexion in the televion.
Either that or it is a burned in image on a old televison. Old cheap televions could get a image burned into them that you could see when it was turned off. This can somtimes only be seen in photos because it is very subtle. The camera flash lights up the hidden image.
Just a few ideas..

or, it could be an old, weak tv. thats on. with 2 faces.

katie, the television was practically brand new at the time, so I doubt it was that. And it’s definitely not our reflection, as our faces are too close together, and I believe I would recognize my own face should I see it reflected 🙂
And it was turned off, that I know for sure. My mom turned it off because she said we had been playing too many video games and it was bad for our eyes xD

wierd that the “ghost faces” are in detail and the cards arent

I can vouch for Synesthete when she says the TV does not have a burned image. I’ve seen the TV. Its fine.

Maybe your mom secretly had it on and muted and she was watching an old movie? Just something about that image strikes me as familiar… I honestly think I have seen that somewhere. One movie in particular comes to mind but for the life of me I can’t remember the name… of course right?

Im not convinced at all, how old are you now and how many years have gone by. Seems you have an impeccable memory if its more than a couple months old. I know not many people would remember after many years exactly when a television was turned off and when the pic was exactly taken before or after that event.

It might not be a real ghost photo, but you don’t have to be so rude (kyle, 8th post).
I think that if the tv was turned off, there would just be the faces of the “ghosts”, without that light going between them.

This is a Reply to Kyle.
If you read what the poster put you’ll see that she blurred herself and her cousin out so that their identities wouldn’t be seen. You do not need to be so blantantly rude.
The name of that movie I had previously mentioned STILL abandons me BUT I think it had to do with Queen Elizabeth.

Yea, that does look kind of like Laverne and Shirley!
December 11, 2008 @ 5:26 pm

…If it is in fact ghosts why on earth are their faces on the tele’s screen?
I’m not going to say if I believe it a hoax or not because it’s a lost cause. We’ll never know.
