Discuss photo: Ghost boy

This is a great photo for discussion. Is it real or was it faked? The photo does have a weird look to it that could suggest a double exposure. But other then the boy there are no other images that would support that. I don't know but it's cool.I don't like to think that children get left behind . I do think that demons can take the form of a child to gain trust and an invite into ones home.

I actually saw some discussion on Fact or Faked about a picture which looked surprisingly similar to this. But they didn't go in depth. Without seeing the original its almost impossible to tell. But with the original it should be fairly easy. First would be to determine the validity of the materials, if it really is a period photograph. Or an newer photograph aged to look old. If its a period photo, then you greatly limit the technology that existed in those days for manipulation.

That's sweet looking.

Hi...I know this is an older post, but I'm new and am just viewing it. Honestly... I see another figure... unless my eyes are playing tricks on me. The image I see isn't anywhere as clear as the boy (which by the way I wholeheartedly agree with katbertolino). Please look at the metal gate entry. Consider it a square, then look in it's right lower quarter. There seems to be an old western looking man with a hat on and a beard, holding a shot gun. Does anyone else see it?

I do not like a real photo, however it is very difficult to analyze given the characteristics of the image (apparently an old image, has many defects etc). But if I have to opt for an option, I encourage you not to bother anyone, that is a fake

Fake as Pamela Anderson Cleve... "Clifhangers"

EDIT

I see two one in a hat pointing the boomstick to the right, the other near the edge near the boy on the right.
