Head in the Aquarium....

Tecnos · 10-14-2008, 07:50 AM

In the UK high brow newspaper; The Sun, appeared this article today:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle1804838.ece

It's about the appearance of a head in an aquarium....

I've posted the picture up to Truthed.com too....

"IT?S just what you?d expect to see in a snap from an aquarium. A shark, blue water ? and a disembodied HUMAN HEAD.

Emma Place, 21, took this eerie photo on her phone at Hull?s ?53million attraction The Deep.

Boffins at the aquarium admit they are baffled by the appearance of the man?s face, which appears to be gawping up at a shark

Dentistry student Emma, of Doncaster, only spotted the ghoulish face when she arrived home.

She said: ?My boyfriend said, ?what?s that?? I replied, ?it?s a shark?.

Spooky

?He said, ?no, the face.? I was like, oh my God! It actually looks quite spooky.

?I?m easily freaked-out.?

Although Emma?s dad Alan, 48, was stood next to her in the glass tunnel, she insists he looks nothing like the man in the photo.

Bosses have spent hours searching CCTV footage, which confirmed the pair were the only ones inside the tunnel.

And they have even tried to recreate conditions in the tunnel where the reflection could appear, but with no success.

The aquarium ? on the banks of the Humber estuary ? was built on the site of an isolation hospital, where smallpox victims were held.

It?s not the first time ghostly goings-on have been reported.

A night watchman claims to have spotted a shadowy figure in the TimeLine, which charts the history of the world?s oceans.

Colin Brown, chief executive of The Deep, said: ?We are a scientific centre and we?re sure there must be a logical explanation.

"It?s just that we can?t find it.

"There must be some sort of optical illusion or reflection of images between the window, but we cannot figure out how it has been done.?

OK, the picture in the link looks rather weird.

But it would be helpful if other photographs of the same part of the aquarium were also available for comparison.

While the resemblance to a human face is very much in evidence, it also seems, in a general way, to blend in with the material (rock or reef) immediately behind it.

Could it be an illusion from the angle or lighting of the photograph?

Somehow, this issue reminds me of the famous "face on Mars" photographs (which was "explained" as a trick of light and shadow, and on subsequent photos seemed to be much less obvious).

But having said that, this aquarium shot does look somewhat disturbing; at the same time, I wonder how obvious it would have been if the "face" had not been highlighted like that...

I actually thought of the face on Mars when I saw this article. however, what strikes me is the detailing on the 'face'. It's got eyebrows, ears and even earlobes.....

my guess (an I'm not qualified in such things) is: it's either genuine or a complete edited fake.

Not only that, the face looks stupid. I doubt ghosts or apparitions are ever stupid.....

To qualify this, I mean that: I doubt it's due to natural/coincidental shading, as the 'face' just has too much detail, so it's either a ghostly apparition or a clever photoshop job.......

In my humble opinion.

And i apologise for not being able to spell aquarium.

Interesting but the sun again its a tabloid what else can i say really. Other than its infamous for faking things and or generally lying about what is going on / misinformation. My example would be the article on the seal that tried to rape a penguin and the sun claimed it was the 1st documented occurrence in the animal kingdom.
