Weird Photo: Mystery of Ghost Boy in Picture

This spooky image of an unknown boy gave Angie D’Arcy the shivers when she had her photos developed. She took the picture in 2003 in Evercreech, Somerset, but only just got round to having the disposable camera film printed.

Angie, 40, of Shepton Mallet, cannot remember anyone being in the shot when she took the snap and said the figure, dressed in old-style country clothing, remained a mystery.

“I don’t believe in ghosts but I just can’t explain it,” she said.
“It was among pictures of our old house. No one recognises the boy.”
The child also appears on the negatives.

    Sorry, but I think it’s a fake. Of course, I could be wrong. My reasoning is that the photo is taken at a very visible angle, slanted to the left. The boy figure is perfectly straight in the photo without relation to the ground. Yes, ghosts don’t really have to obey the laws of gravity, but most viable ghost encounters show that the residual energy at least remembers walking straight in relation to the ground.

    @ Chris W: I do believe you have a point. Also this kid strongly reminds me something… I cannot recall on my memory :-(

    I rotated the picture using the picture viewer on my computer and it seems that the boy is standing straight relation to the ground.

    What about young Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars episode “The Phantom Menace”? The boy at the photo has outrageous sameness with this character from the movie :-)

    That was exactly what I thought when I first saw this. I ran a search for Anakin images and all the ones I came up with didn’t match. Anakin wore a different neck style on the shirt/tunic. Incredible likeness, though! Still, the image struck some chord with me, like I’d seen it before.
