We caught a few photos on a house we were investigating. When we went home and reviewed the photos, we were shocked at our findings.

If you click on the following link:

You can review the photo and let us know what you think.

If you are interested in seeing our other photos or even listening to our EVP's that we caught, please check out our webpage:

Thanks,

D.P.G.

i know all about pareidolia and im the biggest victom of it, i tend to see faces in almost anything, i realise most if not all are illusions but some images can be pretty shocking and do look eerie and ghostly
who knows some of the images may well be ghostly, but we will never know for sure

I dont see a face but that does'nt matter, it's an interesting picture. I have no idea what it is but I can't just say it's nothing just because it could be something natural as I was not there when it was taken and have no further information than what you have provided.
What are the camera settings? make and model, anything you can think of that may be important?

To the right of that face (in the right side of the next square panel) I can see the face of Jesus pretty much as it appears on the Shroud of Turin. Does that mean Jesus is in there as well or are we just pattern seeking creatures hard wired to see faces in everything from clouds to the moon?.

I too can make out a face in the window.
I also could make out a figure of sorts in the
first pic.

I'll be checking out your site in a bit.
Thanks for sharing. Very Happy

What about the faces I see in my toast or in clouds - would you say they are spirits Flossy?.

For years one of the most famous cases of mysterious ghostly faces appearing occurred at Belmez in Spain.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bélmez_Faces

These were later shown to be fakes but for years they fooled a great many people because people believe what supports their beliefs.

The pic in question is simply Pareidolia. I'm sure different people will see more faces - the one pointed out just happens to be the most obvious.

As Flossy quite rightly says - we will never know - but the logical conclusion is that this is probably a trick of our own senses.

i agree that most will be trick of the eye or down to Pareidolia but not all might be, how we tell which is which we will never know
doesnt really matter does it people are going to believe what they believe anyways

There is a way we'll tell Pareidolia from real paranormal phenomena and that's with proper investigation using scientific methodology, logic and the search for evidence.

The fact that I can make out at least three other faces in that picture kinda leads me to the conclusion that it's simply my brain picking out faces out of totally random patterns - unless that window is infested with spirits?.
Other people may see more faces or different faces or maybe no faces at all - what does that tell us? - that this picture has captured A face of A ghost or that the patterns within the window are being interpreted by our eyes and brains in a way that is well understood and explained within the science of cognitive psychology?.

People believing what they believe has caused much suffering in the world - from the vile tortures of the Inquisition to the mass genocides of the Concentration camps(not that I'm linking your remark to those events Flossy). It's only by challenging these illogical beliefs and seeking the truth that we'll progress and learn.

In some cases just accepting those beliefs just perpetuates the falsehoods inherent within them.
