In 2014, a photo was taken on a lake in Australia. However, only recently this picture was published on the Facebook page of the group of ghost hunters "Toowoomba Ghost Chasers". According to one version, it depicts the silhouette of a young man who became a victim of drowning in 1913.

This photo was posted by an Australian named Kim Davidson. On the last one, two women and four children are having fun in the water. Only the woman claims that there were only three children, because the fourth ghost, which was not visible at the time of photographing. The picture was taken in Locker Creek, Queensland, in northwest Australia.

Soon, the researchers decided to investigate this very intriguing image. And to their surprise, they discovered the story of Doreen O'Sullivan, a 13-year-old girl who drowned by drowning in the same creek in 1913 at a place called "Murphy's Hole" on Friday afternoon. His body was found only a few hours later to the great grief of the family.

In addition to this photo Davidson said there were other strange phenomena that day: someone caught her daughter's leg while she was swimming. In addition, she felt an invisible and oppressive presence that followed her.

Some particularly wise observers claim that there are more spirits in the picture. Thus, they noticed a bearded man and four other faces. For some, the ghost will be a splash caused by the hand of a child who then turned away to the camera.

______________

An Australian woman discovered an "otherworldly" character in a family photo. The mysterious incident attracted the attention of Facebook users in the Australian segment of the Internet. Queensland resident Kim Davison found in photos from last year's vacation on the river  Lockyer of a suspicious character who reminded her of a ghost.

She sent the images, including negatives, to a community specializing in the interpretation of various hoaxes — "Toowoomba Ghost Chasers" on Facebook. Kim described the story itself: last summer, she and her friend and four children were relaxing on the beach next to the Lockyer River. Only both women and three children went swimming, as the eldest daughter Davison swam badly and stayed on the shore. She also photographed the family.

But later, looking at the photos on the computer, Kim found four children on them, and the image of one of them was somewhat blurry and seemed to be "transparent". It was also reflected by the negative of the photo.

Experts told Davison that a 13-year-old girl drowned in the same place a hundred years ago, after which it acquired a bad reputation and even became considered dangerous.

After such information, the woman and her family decided not to rest on the "mystical" coast.

Original news

En 2014, une photographie qui donne la chair de poule a été prise dans un lac en Australie. Toutefois, ce n’est que récemment que ce cliché a été rendu public sur la page Facebook du groupe de chasseurs de fantômes « Toowoomba Ghost Chasers ». Celle-ci nous montrerait la silhouette d’une jeune personne victime d’une noyade en 1913 …

La photo en question a été publiée par une Australienne nommée Kim Davidson. Sur cette dernière, on peut deux femmes et quatre enfants s’amuser dans l’eau. Seulement, la femme affirme qu’il n’y avait que trois enfants puisque le quatrième serait un fantôme qui n’était pas visible au moment des faits. Le cliché a été pris dans Lockyer Creek, dans l’Etat du Queensland, au Nord-Ouest de l’Australie.

Rapidement, des chercheurs ont décidé d’enquêter sur cette image très intrigante. Et, à leur grande surprise, ils ont découvert l’histoire de Doreen O’Sullivan, une jeune fille âgée de 13 ans et qui mourut noyé dans ce même ruisseau en 1913 dans un endroit appelé Murphy’s Hole un vendredi après-midi. Son corps ne fut repêché que quelques heures plus tard au grand damne de sa famille.

En plus de cette photo, Mme Davidson a indiqué qu’il s’était produit d’autres phénomènes étranges cette journée-là. Ainsi sa propre fille se serait fait attraper la jambe à deux reprises alors qu’elle se baignait. En outre, elle aurait ressenti une présence invisible et oppressante qui ne cessait de la suivre.

Certains observateurs particulièrement avisés prétendent qu’il y a davantage d’esprits sur la photo. Ainsi, ces derniers ont repéré un homme barbu et quatre autres visages. Pour quelques esprits sceptiques, le fantôme ne serait qu’une éclaboussure provoquée par le bras de l’enfant qui faisait alors dos à la caméra.

Illusions associated with the refraction and reflection of light

Reflection is a physical process of interaction of waves or particles with the surface, changing the direction of the wave front at the boundary of two media with different properties, in which the wave front returns into the medium from which it came. The reflection may be specular (that is, such as is observed when using a mirror) or diffuse (in this case, the reflection is not saved the path of the rays from the object, but only the energy component of the luminous flux) depending on the nature of the surface.

Pareidolic illusion

A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).
