Unexplained face [pic]

paranormal.about.com — This photo must be from the early 1900s. Just take a look at it! There's a mum and a dad with their child on his knee. The child died short after the photo was taken. You can see a face in profile and an angel's face in the hair of Jesus. It's really a fantastic photo, isn't it?

  • Tichondrius74, on 11/22/2008, -0/+81That's ***** hilarious. I didn't notice that about lekahe's post before.
  • noupsell, on 11/21/2008, -1/+75The child is in the picture dressed in white, wearing a white cap sitting on the Dad's knee isn't it?
  • inactive, on 11/22/2008, -0/+71Take a longer look. The kid is there in a little gilligan hat. The jesus stache is the little kids arm. You can't look at both images at the same time. It's one of those kinds of things.
  • psyclonic, on 11/22/2008, -3/+73yep that's Jesus alright - very stark resemblance to that rust stain on that water tower in Alabama.
  • CursorTN, on 11/22/2008, -9/+75Ding! That's the correct answer. It is just the way that the photo turned out. Nothing to worship here--move along.
  • drstock, on 11/22/2008, -0/+51Yupp, it's called pareidolia.
  • HiKevinRose, on 11/22/2008, -0/+39Same, that caught me so far off guard. I started cracking up.
  • Dralha, on 11/22/2008, -8/+46"Unexplained?" Hardly. It's called "pattern-seeking." It's the same thing that causes us to see bunnies in clouds and jesus on toast.

  • vpotok, on 11/22/2008, -0/+38me too, i thought that was what everyone was talking about.
  • dawkin5, on 11/21/2008, -25/+61It has to be Jesus. The likelihood of it being a double exposure are so remote that to even consider it would be stark raving, box of frogs mad.
  • obliviousfool, on 11/21/2008, -2/+37He looks a bit like Rasputin.
  • inactive, on 11/22/2008, -3/+38I am have it now fully hard to see the child
  • kleash, on 11/22/2008, -1/+31Is this the part we ***** bricks?
  • divinediva, on 11/21/2008, -10/+37It's really a fantastic photo.
  • PuckishGrin, on 07/14/2009, -1/+28"Unexplained"? Submitter is either ignoring or ignorant of the original article:
    http://forgetomori.com/2008/skepticism/best-pareid ...

    Check the false-colour explanation of this obvious pareidolia.
  • jcaino, on 11/22/2008, -2/+27i dont see the angel in the hair of jesus...but that is one heck of a photo.
  • simplecow, on 11/22/2008, -1/+26Why do people keep saying it's a double exposure? Unless I'm missing something, isn't it just that the combination of the child and the bush in the background LOOKS like the face of Jesus?
  • redstorm986, on 11/22/2008, -8/+31You have it hard to see a child...That's illegal in most states.
  • inactive, on 11/22/2008, -0/+23Especially faces.
  • ivansusanin, on 11/22/2008, -8/+29Jesus was BLACK
  • deathfix, on 11/22/2008, -1/+21Behold the power and glory of the scientific method!
  • jasdf, on 11/22/2008, -1/+20Holy crap! It is true, you can see the little kid if you try.
  • Eggzb, on 11/22/2008, -8/+27Uh.... its obviously the face of our Lord and one true savior. I myself saw this today in my McMuffin and it truly re-energized my faith.
  • BigCheezy, on 11/22/2008, -1/+17It's not a double exposure. There's a kid in front of a shrubbery that combines to look like Euro Jesus.
  • elcaminos, on 11/22/2008, -3/+18I didn't know Jesus was a white italian-looking dude.
  • MadOgre, on 11/22/2008, -4/+18But this wasn't a double exposure. This was an unintentional natural optical illusion.
    If this was intentional, then this photographer would be famous for other such works... I've never seen anything like this from that era and I minored in Art History.
  • inactive, on 11/21/2008, -0/+13it was so hard for me to see that little kid. but the face's eyeis the kids face in his hoodie..

  • sharp357, on 11/22/2008, -0/+13To those that think it has to be a double exposure "just because that's the most basic and oldest darkroom tricks" have another look.

    If you can't see both the face and the child cover up the bottom half of the face and you'll see the kid in a "gilligan" hat. The nose is the kids sleeve and the stash is the kids arm. Just a weird trick of light, like the face on Mars.

    And linking to another double exposure proves what excatly?
  • PHJames88, on 11/22/2008, -1/+13That's the McMuffin eating away at your soul.
  • replaysMike, on 11/22/2008, -1/+12wow that's ***** crazy... that kid is black!
  • seltaeb4, on 11/22/2008, -1/+12A shrubbery!
  • inactive, on 11/22/2008, -5/+16" I have it hard to see the child... "

    Send this to 4chan
  • Dimanoff, on 11/21/2008, -13/+24Can't see the child either. The face on the pic - I think it's the photographer lol
    Sad story about the child though
  • Chjoma10, on 11/22/2008, -3/+14That took me about 10 minutes to be able to finally see the kid... Must be because I love Jesus so much.
  • Cl1mh4224rd, on 11/22/2008, -6/+16> "Sad story about the child though"

    Isn't that the story behind *all* of these pictures? Jesus appears in a photograph that also shows a child. The child dies soon after the picture was taken. Bah, blah, blah...

    On second thought... This may be pretty clear evidence that Jesus is reaping the souls of innocent children.
  • extravagant, on 11/21/2008, -3/+13wow
  • cardshark69, on 11/22/2008, -0/+10Woah!
    (serious btw)
  • DephexTwin, on 11/22/2008, -0/+10"Further research" means smoking a joint.
  • themastersb, on 11/22/2008, -0/+9I can't even see the child. All I see is a face... I want to habeeb
