Making our job harder!

Recently I have read several reports that 'ghosts' have been caught on camera...mainly mobile camera phones!!!!

Having looked at them with great anticipation, Ian and I are getting slightly pissed at finding them all to be fake images created with stupid iphone applications or image editing software like PS, Fireworks, or Illustrator etc..

Here is what I am on about:

Just to show you this iphone application and the ghostly similarities!

Yeah its pretty insulting, but they are pretty obvious fakes if you ask me. And the fact that the Sun reports them makes them doubley iffy lol

Hi barri
sadly some people want fame...and will do pretty much anything to reach it.....5 mins in the spotlight!

It may be 5 minutes in the spotlight for them, but once they are exposed as fakes and fakers then their evidence will never be taken seriously again.

It is the fakers that have to live with their shame knowing that what they do is affecting serious study.

Fakers are exposed every day and their name is mud in many areas. Once they are muddied then it is very hard for them to get involved in their respected field/s again.

I say, let them fake...let them make fraudulent claims.. and let us expose them and prove their faking habbits and kick them when they're down. We work hard to find the truth, we shouldn't let someone spoil our efforts with just ten minutes on a computer or a few seconds faking EVP's and/or attempting to set up a ghostly video capture.

The thing is, we learn who the fakers are and we learn to spot the faked data. We can spot it a mile off.

Hi All

Thats very true Steve , the practise that we get in debunking faked pictures is very valuable experience for us and the rest of the team , so we must expose all of these fakers and carry on with our research .
