Have you ever taken a photo and seen a mysterious shadow lurking in the corner? People say that eyes can play tricks on us, but what about the times there's visual proof of those tricks? "Photoshop exists," you might say. But did it really exist in 1992, when Carlos Diaz took a photo of a possible UFO in Tepoztlán, Mexico?
Some folks might say that it's still a hoax. Others, however, are inclined to believe that there are just some things in this world that we can't logically explain, and that's okay. Folks on Reddit have shared many such photographs. We've gathered the most interesting ones here for you to be creeped out or entertained about!

The Voynich Manuscript is pretty cool.
15th century text in an unknown language, yet to be deciphered.
Uncle Panda 3 months ago
They keep chipping away at the Voynich Manuscript mystery. The last time I checked in, they were settling on an idiosyncratic language probably used by one person but with antecedents in the languages of the general area of the time. My takeaway is that it's what it looks like - a marvelously well illustrated plant compendium written by a self-taught scholar.

I like the old UPS truck and sewing machine combo.
american_hoser:
Oh wow. I can actually explain this. Takes place at Princeton lawnparties (annual weekend long formal event) circa 2004. The UPS truck got stuck for about a week after trying to drive down a walking path that was too narrow, and ended up rolling down the hill towards the tennis courts. They've since built a new residential college (Whitman) in that area. I'm still not sure how they got the UPS truck out.
The sewing machine, I have to presume was for repairing a tux. And clearly the guy is drunk, because that's how lawnparties work.

To date, no one positively knows who these children are or where the picture was taken.
One woman came forward saying the girl looks just like her daughter, Tara Calico, who now has been missing for over 30 years.
"Tara Leigh Calico (born February 28, 1969) is an American woman who disappeared near her home in Belen, New Mexico on September 20, 1988. She is widely believed to have been kidnapped. In July 1989, a Polaroid photo of an unidentified young woman and boy, both bound and gagged, was televised to the public after it was found in a convenience store parking lot. Family friends thought the woman resembled Calico and contacted her mother, who then met with investigators and examined the Polaroid. She believed it was her daughter after taking "time, growth and lack of makeup" into consideration, and noted that a scar on the woman's leg was identical to one Calico had. Scotland Yard analyzed the photo and concluded that the woman was Calico, but a second analysis by the Los Alamos National Laboratory disagreed. An FBI analysis of the photo was inconclusive."
The Bearded Viking 3 months ago (edited)
One thing is a little iffy to me. It said that her mum thought it was Tara "after taking time, growth and lack of make-up into consideration"...if the times stated are correct, Tara was 19½yo when she disappeared. The photo was found only 9 months later. Not being able to see the males body properly, we only have to go by Tara's, but the condition and conditionING of hers looks very good in the pic which, along with the very rudimentary restraint and mouth tape used, would suggest, if it was accurate, that it was taken likely within a week or two of the kidnap, if not sooner. Therefore, how much "time and growth" could have really occurred to cast ANY doubt about who it is? If I saw my 19yo kids in a pic as clear as that one 9 months from seeing them, I would be able to categorically say yay or nay immediately, especially when there is no mention that her hair had been dyed or cut. It all just seems a bit suss and it's more than possible Tara's distraught mother WANTED to believe it was her.

One thing I noticed was what I think is a small portion of her hand. Underneath her b*m, by the black shorts, it looks like you can see the tips of a few fingers AND it looks like the nails are painted a dark color. If this is a kidnap victim, the picture has to have been taken shortly after the kidnapping because why else would her nails be painted? It also could be a hoax. People have done more for less.

The tulip ghost staircase is kind of freaky. Anything that predates Photoshop with s**t like this freaks me out a bit.
blitzballer:
Taken in 1966 by the Reverend Ralph Hardy, who was visiting the Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England on vacation.
However, the really interesting thing about the Tulip Staircase Ghost photograph is how scrutinized it was immediately after it was taken thanks to the Hardy family allowing the photo to be examined by experts in both the paranormal and photography fields.
After noticing the odd apparitions in their vacation photo after returning to Canada, the Hardy’s allowed The Ghost Club back in England to examine the photograph. Later the picture would be examined by the Kodak Film Company
Neither examination could prove the photo away as a fake and in fact the examinations provided this factual data on the photograph:
The photo did not seem to have suffered from photographic tricks or manipulations.
Each photo was accounted for in the roll. Neither the shot before nor after the ghost capture contains any image (both were of other architectural features of the Museum; one of a colonnade and one of a figurehead) that might have ‘bled’ over to the staircase shot.
The photograph was taken with a Zeiss Ikon Contina with Kodachrome 35mm color film. The picture was taken in natural daylight with no flash.

Problems with this-Why would you take a random, black and white, poorly lit photo of a staircase? Film was expensive when it needed to be developed. It may not have been tampered with as a negative but who is to say the woman wasn't there? The quality is so poor, it has clearly made it impossible to make out.

I like the photo which captured a person outside a cabin that went up on reddit about a year ago.
Maby not so much unexplained as creepy, from what I remember they did see footprints in the snow as I recall.
OP:
Up North at my cousins cabin and decide to take a panoramic photo. Look outside. There's someone standing outside.
eastb01:
This might be easily explained. At least in Maine, people go and rob cabins in the winter, looking for medicine and other valuables. It's easy because the cabins are deserted. So, this guy probably wanted to break in, but saw people and just decided to leave and look for some other cabin.
TL,DR, it's a nonchalant burglar.

The Loretto Chapel Staircase is somewhat unexplained. The story goes that the nun's needed a staircase and prayed to St. Joseph, patron saint of Carpenter's, when a mysterious man came and offered to help construct a staircase over the next couple months, but he disappeared without receiving pay or thanks and could not be found. Within the staircase there is not any support or nails to be found and the staircase makes two perfect 360 degree turns.

I remember seeing this picture one day.
This group picture of some soldiers was taken in 1919 so no Photoshop has been used here. The photographer didn't see that shadowed face when the picture was taken. First later some of the soldiers saw the picture and recognized the face as a fellow soldier named Freddy Jackson, who died in an accident caused by an airplane propeller two days earlier. If it's real I actually feel sorry for that poor guy.. He still thought he was alive and wanted to be part of the group photo.
Haunted Britain:
This photograph, taken in 1919, is of the men and women of Goddard’s Squadron, the RAF Squadron who served at HMS Daedalus in WWI, which was actually a land-based seaplane airfield, and has since been renamed RNAS Lee-on-Solent. At first, the photo seems fairly typical for the time, however upon closer inspection it appears there is an extra figure who was not accounted for at the time.
If you look across the very top row, the face of a man can clearly be seen standing behind the right shoulder of the airman fourth from the left. This face has been identified by a number of people as Freddy Jackson. Freddy was an aircraft repair mechanic in Goddard’s Squadron who had recently been k**led in a propellor accident before this photo was taken. His death certificate can be seen in photo 3.
The photograph has attracted substantial attention since its release. The phantom face does not appear to match any other faces in the immediate area of the photo, which reduces the chance of it being a double exposure caused by one of the subjects moving. Also, to fake a photograph of this nature would have required advanced techniques for the time, not to mention a military unit hoaxing a ghost photograph of a recently deceased comrade would have likely been in particularly bad taste, especially following WWI.
The photograph of Freddy Jackson and his Squadron remains a mystery to this day, and has left many skeptics scratching their heads. Squadron Leader Sir Victor Goddard, the man who took the photograph itself is adamant, likely many others, that he inadvertently captured the ghost of Freddy. What do you think?

This Carlos Diaz UFO photo.
Taken from the shoulder of a road on the side of a mountain in Mexico.
You can see the object, the trees/bushes between the object and the camera, the metal railing on the edge of the cliff, and the reflection off the hood of the car. Photo was taken from the left side of the car, over the hood, after Diaz stepped out of the driver side with his camera.
He described the object as being no more than 20m away, and making absolutely no sound as it rose out of the valley and then streaked away.
This picture is not taken through the windshield, and the light is not from the headlights. This photo was taken from over the hood of the car, diagonally over the close-left corner of the hood towards the front-right. The light coming off the guard-rail on the road is a result of the form of the light.

Didn’t he also claim he was abducted and later on diagnosed with personality disorders? The UFO landed in a cave and he was abducted or something like that?

Except that he was a professional photographer, and schizophrenia is categorized by audio hallucinations. Visual hallucinations are usually because of a d**g or visual impairment. He had photos to collaborate his story and if he was diagnosed with a disorder it may have been ptsd. In any case it could have been any number if things and I doubt you are qualified to diagnose anyone.

It's going to be hard to prove this isn't fake, but I guess you'll either take me at my word, or...not.
So a few years ago I was attending a Halloween party back in my hometown of Boston, that was being thrown by a few of my girlfriend's grad school friends.
I get to talking with a small group of them about things that creep us out, and one of them mentions his "girlfriend's family's ghost", and how creepy it is.
I'm a skeptical person, and I don't believe in ghosts, but it's Halloween and I want a cool story, so I press him for more details. He says his girlfriend's family claims that there's a ghost that lives in their house, and that it's a "friendly ghost" - whatever that means. He is also skeptical from what I remember, but claims to have a picture. He says it's a family photo and the ghost of the lady is in the background. He tries to dig it up on his Blackberry, but comes up short. Bummer.
A few days later, though - I get an email from my girlfriend from her friend.

Clearly someone caught a leprechaun and had a completely ridiculous idea to stage a dog drinking competition so big that even the mayor would be there. There was also the swaggest lady of the age -- you can see her pictured here with the hat that says "WIN" on the underside of the brim.
Edit: I'd like to elaborate. The man to the left of the pipe-smoking mayor wearing a similar hat is Jergen Offen, the believed asker of the wish. To the right of The Lady of Swag, Hashtag Kanye, we see Eartha Fire-Wind Dutchess of Marmahol, Catzlvania. She's sporting the same hat that she wore to the Kentucky Derby in the year 1983.

This strange looking bolder was photographed a few years ago on the surface of mars... Quite odd.
"The Mars monolith is a rectangular object, possibly a boulder, discovered on the surface of Mars. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures of it from orbit, roughly 180 miles (300 km) away. The HiRISE camera that was used to photograph the monolith has a resolution of approximately 1 foot or 30 centimeters per pixel."

In 2000, two photographs said to be of the Skunk Ape were taken by an anonymous woman and mailed to the Sarasota County, Florida, Sheriff's Department. The photographs were accompanied by a letter from the woman in which she claims to have photographed an ape in her backyard.[3] The woman wrote that on three different nights an ape had entered her backyard to take apples left on her back porch. She was convinced the ape was an escaped orangutan. The pictures have become known to Bigfoot enthusiasts as the "skunk ape photos."

Black Knight Satellite
An unidentifiable satellite that was found orbiting earth in the early 1960's. The object is in polar orbit which neither the Russians nor americans were capable of at the time.
Legend has it that in orbit around the Earth is a mysterious, dark object which dates back perhaps 13 000 years. Its origin and purpose are inscrutable, dubbed the “Black Knight” this elusive satellite has allegedly been beaming signals towards the Earth and inspected by NASA astronauts yet only a few on Earth officially know of its existence. The origin of the ominous name is part of the enigma; it is impossible to discover who first called it this or indeed why. Humans have only in the last 60 years had the technology to launch a man-made object into space so what is the logical explanation of tales of an alien intruder on our doorstep?

That's one thing about being in the South and "Tornado Alley" is that during the spring and early fall it's Tornado Season. Cloud formations, lightning, thunder that will rattle your windows are part of our lives year round. We've even had tornados in December, which is kinda weird when you have Christmas lights up. Every Saturday at noon in Oklahoma County, they test the Tornado Sirens, unless it's cloudy or overcast then they leave them off. Don't want to scare the s**t out of people if it isn't necessary. We have a saying "if you don't like the weather, give it 5 minutes or just drive a couple of counties over" which can give you a whole nother season. All year, Mother Nature can give you some pretty spectacular shows if you're into that kind of thing. But, I do love living in my state, even if we're assbackwards on a bunch of things.

The Eye of the Sahara has been NASA's APOD twice, although I can't link to it due to government shutdown. It's not an unexplained picture as much as it is a picture of an unexplained thing. It is a completely unique, apparently geologic formation in Africa that geologists can't explain or recreate. It is slightly oblong but appears nearly perfectly circular and is absolutely massive, almost 50 km in diameter.
While geologists don't know what to do with it conspiracy theorists come in, many claiming it is the lost city of Atlantis.

A photo published in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942 has been cited by modern day conspiracy theorists and UFOlogists as evidence of an extra-terrestrial visitation. They assert that the photo clearly shows searchlights focused on an alien spaceship; however, the photo was heavily modified by photo retouching prior to publication, a routine practice in graphic arts of the time intended to improve contrast in black and white photos.[11] Los Angeles Times writer Larry Harnish noted that the retouched photo along with faked newspaper headlines were presented as true historical material in trailers for the film Battle: Los Angeles. Harnish commented, "if the publicity campaign wanted to establish UFO research as nothing but lies and fakery, it couldn't have done a better job."

Unusual lights have been reported here since 1940s or earlier. Especially high activity of Hessdalen lights took place from December 1981 until the summer of 1984 when lights were observed 15–20 times per week. The frequency of the lights caused a gathering of numerous tourists staying there overnight to see the phenomenon.[1] Since then, the activity has decreased and now the lights are observed some 10–20 times per year.
The Hessdalen light most often is a bright, white or yellow light of unknown origin standing or floating above the ground level. Sometimes the light can be seen for more than one hour. There are several other types of unexplained lights observed in the Hessdalen valley

Michelak says he saw a door open and heard voices from inside the object, after which he tried to make contact in English and other languages but got no response. He claims to have burned his hand while attempting to examine "colourful glass" found around the object and seen a grid-like exhaust vent that expelled gas that burned his clothing.

The United States Air Force identified the second group of lights as flares dropped by A-10 Warthog aircraft that were on training exercises at the Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona. The lights were reported to have reappeared in 2007 and 2008, but these events were quickly attributed to (respectively) military flares dropped by fighter aircraft at Luke Air Force Base and flares attached to helium balloons released by a civilian

Some people may say I'm lying and may downvote me. But this is a true story. My dad back in the 70's had a friend who was the singer in the cover rock band they were in and friends with him ever since. My dad's friend ended up living a pretty interesting life.
He became a photographer for MTV way back in the 80's. At the time, and he showed me this picture when I was 15 or 16, so this was 2003/2004. He owned a cigar shop and on the mantle of the fireplace had framed pictures of him singing and jamming with Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin. He had a picture of him and Ozzy posing backstage back when Ozzy had blonde hair and in the picture Ozzy had an entire apple in his mouth.
He even had a picture of him selling cigars to Bill Clinton when Clinton was President and posed in a picture with him holding the box of cigars.
Anyway, my dad told me his friend went to Gettysburg and brought his camera with him. He went to a cemetery to take pictures. And when he developed them, one picture he took of some tombstones in the cemetery there had a transparent woman wearing old Civil War era style clothes and was on her knees praying in front of a grave.
He never really told anybody about this picture and he wouldn't have showed me that picture if my dad never told him to show me that picture of the ghost. He had to go up in the attic of this little house he turned into a cigar shop and was there for like 5 minutes trying to find it like he just carelessly left it somewhere.
He showed me the picture and I was telling him it's got to be fake. But he assured me it wasn't. But even told me he's an atheist and even after taking the photo himself and developing it himself he was still skeptical of what came out.
If anybody is interested I can ask my dad if maybe he can somehow get a copy or a scanned copy of it on the computer. But, I don't know if he would give that photo out. He told me the reason he never went public with it is because he didn't want people to think he was a con artist or crazy to believe in that type of stuff since he was an atheist.
