From my long hours spent modifying photos for fun, I'd say that one was a fake... but only just (it's a very good one). The easiest tell-tale is where the spirit meets the rail. It's fudged.
There's another slightly less obvious tell-tale, which one could only notice if one really thought hard about it. The background's black and white (not to mention that it's been slightly desaturated). The foreground's in colour. If that was a photo, it wouldn't be possible - even at night, there'd be a little bit of colour in the background, and there definitely wouldn't be gray leaves. In fact, you'd be able to see a whole lot less in the background than you currently can, mainly because the colours would either stand out or look very close to black.
Pity.

Looks like "the ring" IMO (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) It brings up a interesting subject tho, can we see enteties with our physical eyes and is this something that exists in the material world or higher worlds but our mind/soul/whatever projects it unto this world (since they are connected...) and if we can see them, can they be caught on film so that everyone can see it (even tho they couldnt usually). So if it's real, it means that they are basically visible to everyone anywhere, only that we choose not to see them. Reminds me of 'death' from the discworld series, very nice. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'd say fake tho

Yeah, I saw that and thought "Sadako".
There was something else I should have remembered on the "background is black and white" point - flash. It's quite obvious that the camera has a flash - check out the face of the person closest to the camera. Do you notice though, that the background isn't lit up by it?

lol - the third one I had to completely rebuild too, otherwise it'd still be looking straight ahead, instead of at the camera. Anywho... we're getting off-topic. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/butcher.gif)

No idea. I've seen a lot of spirits that like to hang around trees, but dryads specifically, not a clue.

QUOTE(| Kinjo @ Nov 13 2005, 06:15 PM)  Yes, Sadako on the O Ring movie is what exactly "kuntilanak" or local ghost/dyrad looks like. They don't kill like in the movie though, but they reported to scare off a lot of people and sometimes gives nightmares, temporary possesion, and fever/sickness - these spirits mostly found in small villages/country side in Indonesia and Malaysia. They supposed to be a nature spirit of a tree, but the myth and local superstition says that they are the demonic manifestation of a mother who died while giving birth. yeahhhhhhhh...... doesn't sound like someone i'd wanna meet in an alley, or ever. But as for the picture, i'm gonna say fake, i can only see the second one but it could easily just be a girl wearing a blanket. They need some better proof then this, something to really clarify that it is a spirit.
