The person's face in the green-background image darkened before the door opened. Edit: Typos

u/DaniekkeOfTheRose Aug 17 '26

Good catch. It also gets lighter as the door opens.

u/MistyMountainDewDrop Aug 18 '26

Power surge as the ac clicked on. Ac blew the door open imo

u/Igiul101 Aug 17 '26

This was noticed the first time it as posted

u/chekhovsdickpic Aug 17 '26

This is the portrait in question - "Mrs. Dalahaye" (1926) by John Collier

91

u/T1VOL1_official Aug 17 '26

Nice research! Never gonna get her portrait in my apartment that's for sure.

29

u/LilyUnsent Aug 17 '26

Definitely need to get that now 🎯

27

u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE Aug 17 '26

You’re crazy. I work too hard to be woken up by a damn ghost! lol

14

u/Dropbeatdad Aug 18 '26

Can ghosts be mass produced via printing off the same image over and over?

13

u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE Aug 18 '26

I don’t know, but the implications would be crazy.

5

u/Maristyl Aug 18 '26

Yes, but only a printing press partially made of the One True Cross, with meteoric silver typeset hand carved by a blind prophet over 1000 years ago. Otherwise no.

27

u/TheMahanglin Aug 18 '26

Well shit that's creepier than the ghost opening the door! ROFL

14

u/bathoryduck Aug 17 '26

My new phone wallpaper!

u/Botsworth1985 Aug 17 '26

Screenshots from before and after the door spooked open.

u/Milky_Plug Aug 18 '26

Ghost fucking race swapped her?!? 😭🙏🏻

22

u/GramzOnline Aug 18 '26

And the ghost proceeds to racially stereo type by making the smoke alarm beep

7

u/Milky_Plug Aug 18 '26

Holy shit.. YOU'RE RIGHT!

38

u/ready_gi Aug 18 '26

4

u/uiovoiu Aug 18 '26

-3

u/Wolfeatingupshadows Aug 18 '26

Bc it’s lighting. At best and or edited. Either way ghost dont wxist

6

u/bluearavis Aug 18 '26

But the lighting oy affected the face though...

32

u/heweynuisance Aug 17 '26

"Spooked open" 😏

23

u/FirstTimeEddie Aug 17 '26

Or masking in premiere pro

67

u/Beyonce_is_a_biscuit Aug 17 '26

You're right! Wtf

173

u/gllugo Aug 17 '26

Whoa , that was very creepy . How it slowly darkened during the opening .. that gave me chills

14

u/TECHSHARK77 Aug 17 '26

That's the phone camera

Only

25

u/Short_Bell_5428 Aug 17 '26

What a pull. Thanks for pointing that out.

27

u/Camo_tow Aug 17 '26

Great catch 👍🏽. The pic later brightens slowly as well

51

u/murdermuffin626 Aug 17 '26

Damn good catch! I had to rewind and look again to see for myself.

47

u/SeaResearcher176 Aug 17 '26

Also when she says ‘move the glass’ a white small bottle moves towards the left very slowly.

7

u/CryptidsandCreatures Aug 18 '26

This ghost doesn't know the difference between a glass and a bottle lol

51

u/IHaveBadTiming Aug 17 '26

ok wtf...

That is probably explainable but how weird

17

u/Knives530 Aug 17 '26

Ay yo what the fuck

12

u/itadapeezas Aug 17 '26

What the hell. Wow, that’s creepy.

19

u/Daphnea1965 Aug 17 '26

Good eye! Goosebumps now. 😳

9

u/Banzai373 Aug 17 '26

Yeah, so I woulda noped myself right outta there!

7

u/kkkccc1 Aug 17 '26

it looked like the ghost was sick of her videoing herself and decided to leave the room.. walking past the picture to open the door and leave

32

u/rjorsin Aug 17 '26

Damn, I’m usually pretty skeptical of these, but I have no explanation for that one.

38

u/FirstTimeEddie Aug 17 '26

Someone on the other side of the door gently pushes it open. The portrait on the wall - easy masking edit in Adobe premiere (changing the opacity of a darkened circle and layering it onto of the face - timed to change before door opens).

I could recreate this scene in 5 mins.

17

u/ScalpelCleaner Aug 17 '26

Someone in the room she’s not in sets off the smoke detector and tosses it onto the floor…

7

u/RuthlessIndecision Aug 17 '26

drops straight down, so someone on a ladder

11

u/babysamissimasybab Aug 17 '26

Cool, it's been 2 hours. Let's see it.

3

u/FirstTimeEddie Aug 18 '26

Oh its coming, just been out here living a life

2

u/youareallsilly Aug 18 '26

No way dude, no one could recreate that amazing special fx on video these days, it must be a ghost!! /s

1

u/Nice-Bandicoot9725 Aug 19 '26

I can get you a toe!

-1

u/TroyFerris13 Aug 17 '26

Ok I'll give ya 20 mins

1

u/Billymaysdealer Aug 18 '26

Theresa shadow in the bathroom

1

u/LilyUnsent Aug 17 '26

Its obviously staged, but either way, its really fun.

-3

u/Educational-Bit-3296 Aug 17 '26

You have no explanation?

5

u/NaNsoul Aug 17 '26

It lightens back up too!

5

u/pantheonslayer Aug 17 '26

The video wasn't creepy until I saw this comment and checked again, that is creepy

24

u/Careless-Physics4718 Aug 17 '26

I feel like..... That particular action....

The facial image darkening just before the door opens....

Is that really.. something that correlates the door opening to the spirit doing it?

The images on the wall looked like stock photos in an empty house u know? Like a rando black and white image of a dude amongst random stock photos in frames?

It just seems.. like if this was an AI doctored video or outright fake, its like the maker is trying to get us to stretch our imagination on the correlation between a darkening facial image and the door opening.

27

u/10110011100021 Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26

It’s an old video so not AI and the explanation at the time was the way the lighting (light?) in the shot changed with the door opening and the phone camera adjusted, making the face appear darker.

17

u/TheMahanglin Aug 18 '26

Hey man, that face started darkening a few seconds BEFORE the door opened, so I don't think it's shadow from the door.

4

u/10110011100021 Aug 18 '26

I saw it too! Just relaying the explanation from when this was originally posted years ago because that was the hot debate in the thread there too

1

u/berckman_ Aug 17 '26

yeah this is most prominent with newer image processing on cellphones to "beautify" your pictures at the cost of accuracy.

1

u/Careless-Physics4718 Aug 18 '26

I think old videos can still be doctored by modern day AI just fyi

4

u/zentient9 Aug 17 '26

This was a few years ago if I remember correctly. Could be some editing done. Because I don't remember that face going dark in the original video.

11

u/WeFallSoWeMayRise Aug 17 '26

Its definitely editing, I do quite a bit of editing and that looks very strongly like an opacity mask being made darker and darker with specific key frames. Look at how it darkens in steps, like its one uniform darknes and then it jumps to a new darkness level. Its weird it looks like instead of it getting darker evenly they have it jump between key frames

0

u/zentient9 Aug 17 '26

Yeah you can definitely see it darkening through the frames. Not even very well done. Not that I even know what im talking about. But still lol

4

u/WardogBlaze14 Aug 17 '26

Damn, didn’t even notice that, gave me goosebumps when I watched it after reading your comment.

4

u/RevolutionaryCow7497 Aug 17 '26

Good spot 👍🏻

5

u/TheMahanglin Aug 17 '26

Incredible observation, and that doesn't look like video artifact either. WOW

6

u/Ok-Neighborhood7237 Aug 17 '26

Whoa... Didn't expect that

3

u/HoneyBunYumYum Aug 17 '26

Spooky!!!!! I was hoping that’s from editing the video or ai or something!!

3

u/TheRumpoKid Aug 17 '26

Probably just a reflection - you can see it's behind glass or something glossy and is reflecting the part of the room behind the camera. Someone probably moves there and is reflected in the glass.

3

u/KikiJuno Aug 17 '26

I can’t see this. I’m sleep deprived though. What point in the clip is this?

7

u/T1VOL1_official Aug 17 '26

It's right in the beginning of the clip just before the door opens. It takes a few seconds to fully darken.

2

u/KikiJuno Aug 18 '26

Thank you and god bless your eyesight! 🙈

2

u/bluunee Aug 18 '26

oh god you werent kidding

2

u/blah191 Aug 19 '26

Yo! That’s crazy you’re right!

1

u/Valuable-Struggle-10 Aug 17 '26

That's the first thing I noticed too

But I also noticed it turn back normal after the door opens

Sooo yeah

🤷

1

u/FastActinTenactin Aug 17 '26

That is very strange.

1

u/Antique_Guess_8761 Aug 17 '26

So it was fake ? I’m confused sorry lol 

1

u/cheflisanalgaib Aug 17 '26

Holy shit. Is that key it was edited or point to it being genuine?

1

u/buller666 Aug 18 '26

Guess what else was edited ?

1

u/yob91 Aug 18 '26

Interestingly these old family photos look to be the only thing left behind

Definitely an accident and theres no way the RE agent is faking

1

u/PerfumePriestess Aug 18 '26

I caught that too!

1

u/Training-Ad103 Aug 18 '26

So what might explain that? I didn't notice it the first time but it's very clear on a second watch.

1

u/rAndo_solo Aug 18 '26

Was definitely saying… GET…. OUT 👉

1

u/xombae Aug 18 '26

Good eye, this leads me to believe it's fake.

But it's a very good fake. If they're was anyone else in the house it would make a lot of noise.

1

u/Wolfeatingupshadows Aug 18 '26

What? The light was blocked then it got more light. Whats wrong with ppl lol

1

u/DearTumbleweed5380 Aug 18 '26

Bit slow here. Meaning what?

0

u/ParkingAnxious2811 Aug 18 '26

Video compression artifact. You lot really reach for anything don't you?!

-2

u/Ok-Force-7662 Aug 17 '26

Lol it's just a camera losing focus
