Debunked: "Demon" Photographed On A Hospital Bed

[Emeline]

[Admin: Debunk in post #2, scroll down]

This story seems to have gone viral at the moment. The first place I saw it was Rense.com.

GLP have a current thread running on it where you can see the photo.

Any thoughts from anyone?

I don't believe it's a demon but I messed around with it for a bit on my photo editing software and couldn't really get it much clearer.

It's just a variety of things that happen to line up. The patient's leg, bed rails, and a coat or something hung up in the background. Here I've highlighted the various parts. When you see what they are (particularly the leg and the rail) it's pretty obvious.

Start with the leg. The person is laying in the bed with their left leg bent. All you can see is the left leg.



Here's just the bed and patient isolated:

I used the HDR setting on Picassa and got this:

But Mick, yeah, I think it's an optical illusion as it were too. Thanks for your response.

I don't understand why the legs are upright like someone is standing on the bed..where is the rest of the body?

 

[JRBids]

It's one leg with the knee bent. Looks like two legs. But one is the thigh, the other is the tibia of the same leg.

Took me a while to see it. Try focussing on the "demon's" thigh as the bed support on the right side of the patients head. Push it into the background.

This pic is similar to Mick's. the colours may make it easier to see.

Ok I see it now. At first I thought it was two legs but now I see the "leg" that looks like it doesn't have a foot is actually the same leg, like you said.

Once you've seen the 'demon' it's hard not to see it. I covered the upper body of the demon with my hand to make it easier

Looks some kind of medieval chicken chimera out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting.

You can get these kinds of optical illusions even with relatively clear photographs. I've just happened across a bunch of them over at:

This is a good one... small guy in blue shirt piggyback riding.



A few of the others on that site REALLY make you do a double take.

#12 is mostly the kids head, with the fathers nose and mouth in the background.

#19 had me stumped the longest

It's a classic. Easier to see if you remove the shadow.

Ya. I just couldn't figure out what I was looking at, things kept jumping in and out of the foreground, it was wierd. Then it hit me - flagpole behind the photographer.

So then, we ALL agree that there is definitely a demon running around somewhere in a hospital?

the picture's rather blurry but I'm thinking he's just a satyr. some people think of satyrs as demons, but I don't.

Panic over. It's just Mowgli.



Wait! Disney's Mowgli! Wooooooo....

The moment you pointed out the patient's leg it became very clear to me.

So, it didn't seem to bother anyone that our demon appears to have a comedically gigantic right shoulder?

(oh, wait, maybe that's why he was in the hospital…to get a second opinion on it…)

lol I was more bothered that his legs weren't attached to his torso

Hmm... has anyone else noticed that 'Skull' within the mirror ???? It is most noticeable in the pic Emeline posted..

That unidentified thing in the background I see as a horse. I guess that you see what you want to in pictures.
