A picture.

This is a repost of my photo. It’s my grandma’s four older brothers. She had the photo on her dresser when I was growing up. We could never decide if that’s a face in the bushes or a trick of the light, but it’s definitely not my great grandmother or someone my grandma recognized

Interesting. Do you know if this photo was an original or recycled?

PMmeRacoonPix t1_j2fml7q wrote

My grandma had an original on her dresser. I got this digital copy from one of my moms cousins whose dad is in the picture. I don’t know if she scanned an original or if someone sent it to her digitally

Oh, I think I understand what you are asking. Like was it reprinted on something? I think there were multiple prints made from a single negative. This scan looks exactly like my Grandma’s hard copy. I can’t recall if I have seen another hard copy. I think at my Aunt’s house?

So I think any issue would be with the negative itself

I can’t help but wonder where all these gentlemen are now. It’s fascinating. Thanks for posting.

They’re all dead. The Curly haired one died in his teens in a plane crash while on leave from the war. The oldest two grew into kind and gentle men. The youngest was a wild card. He we served in Korea. He was funny and rough and kind and taught me how to play cards and garden. He had no teeth and only wore striped bibbed overalls. He had a skunk as a pet. He passed in the early 2000s after reuniting with an old lover (like Biblically) and I am so happy for him to have gone that way.

Edit: a word

How come I don’t see it on your profile? Or am I blind?

Did your family’s cam had a writing on it? Something like “Camera Obscura”?

PMmeRacoonPix t1_j2fohgx wrote

No idea about the camera. My grandma just had the photo. They were dirt poor Okies. Probably wasn’t even their camera

pareidolia?

Perhaps or these old films had a quirk, sometimes films were reused which means some had previous images still stuck on the film, resulting in a composite. This image could very well be one of those.

If its not a ghost or an actual person, I think it's double exposure. As dumb as it sounds, I think that looks way too much like a face (and head, even) to be paredolia.

MongoBongoTown t1_j2f44t5 wrote

Same, my first thought as usual is pareidolia. But, the details are so distinct.

Double exposure or someone just messing around while they were taking the picture seems most likely.

Or, ya know...a ghost.

Look at the feet. Pretty sure there's just another kid standing back there.

jeharris25 t1_j2fcabz wrote

That's what caught my attention when I looked at this. Why does the shortest kid have dark legs and hands? I was trying to look for whiteface or something. Especially since the word "bro" was in the title, which was a "black thing" where I grew up.

I had no idea that's not what I was supposed to be looking for in this photo.

I mentioned in another comment that this is a repost of my photo. It’s my grandmother’s 4 brothers. She didn’t recognize the 5th “face.”

Why sit here and lie just to try to convince people ghosts exist? Lower IQ comment than your upvote score

PMmeRacoonPix t1_j2fop5s wrote

Idk that it’s a ghost. I think it’s most likely a trick of the light in leaves. Our brains are wired to see faces

I wonder which one is mom's favorite (only one has shoes on).

They may have all worn those at one time

PMmeRacoonPix t1_j2fdy2u wrote

He was 4th of 9 kids and he was Grandma’s favorite, lol, but, yeah, they were dirt poor Okies in the 20s and they all shared those shoes.

The youngest in this photo was born in 1928 or 29

PMmeRacoonPix t1_j2fe6yz wrote

The older 3 boys were in one bed and he slept in a dresser drawer til his sister was born. He ended up being huge and eventually had to sleep in the barn cause their house only had room for 3ish beds.

Not the one in the back..

You mean the least favorite one?

halfeclipsed t1_j2f09m9 wrote

That's why he is in the back. He had to sneak in the picture because mom wouldn't let him in.

ataxi_a t1_j2f2vdb wrote

He snuck into the picture like the little half cockroach bastard he is. He could hide his cockroach body behind his brothers, but he couldn't hide that one long cockroach antenna that his ma hadn't broke off yet to switch his nasty cockroach ass with.

What am I missing here?

Weird face behind the two boys in the middle

GordieLaChance t1_j2f2hdh wrote

Does no one else see the witchy face to the left of the tallest boy's head? I thought that was the point of the post but I guess it's the face in the middle.

xXTheFETTXx t1_j2eln66 wrote

I was going to say this could be a double exposure, but there are no legs.

PMmeRacoonPix t1_j2fehsk wrote

I have stared at the original of this photo for hours and that’s what I can’t make out. Could someone be kneeling further back? Where’s the top of their head?
