Strange one for ya...

BrianJD

This is a work colleague who was filling her car with petrol. Her daughter was messing with her phone whilst waiting to go into the shop with her and took this photo. My work colleague is certain there was no body there.

I think it may be a movement of her hand or something but it really does look like a hooded person.

Suggestions?

Thats freaky!

might wana photoshop out the regplate.

There's definite movement in that photo, so I'm going with the flick of the hand as suggested. It must be said though that that is one very cool photograph.

Nice threads for a ghost

Dave!

Yep looks like the arm was moving

shes puttin the pump back in

lookit the colours

The 'hood' has a ripple effect that looks to me like it's the pump nozzle moving through the air. Mobile phones are notorious for catching movement like that. Take a pic on yours while moving the phone, or moving something in the shot and youll see what I mean.

scarf blowing in the wind!

Yeah it's just the woman lifting the pump out of her tank.

1.23 a litre - where's that - I'm off to fill up, ghost or no ghost!!

What a freaky looking picture

Looks like the petrol station in Charleville????

If it was the nozzel, why would she have had it up so high?

One good pic though!

Mitchelstown I think. I dont think it's the nozzel or a scarf. If u look at the shape (and ignore that it has a face and hood) if it was either of the two suggestions, you would have one shape. This shadow? has a clearly defined shape with multiple of angels which happens to have the shape of a person. I don't think you would make this shape with one swish of a scarf or a nozzle which was being held very high.

I've spoken to the person involved and she has no idea what it could be.

Not really -- you can clearly see that the "hood" has lots of breaks in it, obviously caused by something moving while the photo was being taken.



It does look like a hooded figure, but that's just a bit of pareidolia, like the face on Mars:

Was she waving the pump around or throwing it back? I am pretty sure when i put it back arm doesn't reach that height.:D

It looks like a hooded figure great pic :P

Death: "I only filled the bloody tank two days ago - how come you used so much petrol?"

Mrs. Death: I went to see my mother didn't I!! If you weren't such a miserable bollocks you would have come with me."

Death: "All the way to West Meath to see your mother? I don't feckin' think so!!! I rather gnaw my own arm off"

Mrs. Death: "And what's that supposed to mean???"

Death: "OK I'm sorry - West Meath is not that bad. It's your mother I can't stand."

Mrs. Death: Oh that's great! Have a pop at my mother when she's not here to defend herself. She was right about you.

Death: "Ah yeah! Here we go.. You should have married Paddy Dooley - he has a pub... bleh, bleh, bleh, I'm only putting a tenner in. It'll have to do you for the week!"

Mrs. Death: "Ya miserable bollocks! Guess who's sleeping on the sofa tonight?"

Death: "Wow! Lucky me!"

ML, Thats great and funny and all, but its also off topic. For that kind of stuff, maybe try AH or Creative Writing.

I couldn't resist it. You know me - naughty but nice. I'll be good!

I don't think it looks like the affect of the nozzle moving through the air. If such was the case the edge would be straighter or even slightly curved to a certain extent I would have thought. This is even ignoring the fact the woman is highly unlikely to swing the nozzle that high into the air for whatever reason.

More likely if anything to be the outline of the woman having moved back and around having being directly facing the car previously as the blur may be more consistent with that outline. She may even have being standing on the step if there is one around the fuel pump, judging by the difference in height and the whole movement was very swift.

Because it identifies the person in the picture to anyone with half a brain and an internet connection.

No way was she shaking at the nozzle, that's impossible, look clearly to her right shoulder, the line is straight going down towards her left shoulder...and above her left arm...., you can see the V shape above that making it look like a hood/cape sort of thing... that cannot be done accurately if moving the hand when taking the shot as it would be distorted, but in the picture it is clearly a steady hand as the car, lighting, and surrounding areas are clear...

Can the OP answer this?

Couple of things to my mind..
1. Possibly a warning that something is going to happen? a fault in the car that has yet to appear (sorry if this sounds negative or impending doom, but clearly I do not wish to distress anyone..)
2. is it really somebody watching over their shoulders?
3. Did the hooded person die in that exact spot on a previous occasion (perhaps a garage before it was taken over by Amber)?

brilliant capture...

Considering the lack of any hooded figure this is a silly question :rolleyes:

It may not be the nozzle (I agree it's not) but it's no apparition. The waves in the figure are caused by motion on a camera phone and since the colours are consistant with her clothing, any monkey can put two and two together.

Even if this was a spirit, it wouldn't have been an omen for her since she didn't notice it until looking at the picture later; the whole point in an omen beeing to warn the personwouldn't be much good if she didn't see it at the time of importance would it?

And?...

Anyone though? Only people who knew the person who drove 07-C-3155 I would have thought?

Im not necessairly buying into the fact it was an omen either per se (keeping an open mind about it really) but maybe thats when the woman was meant to see the omen...from the photo the child took...the child was meant to take the photo and that and the hooded figure (assuming it was as such) appeared in the photo to forewarn the woman of a pending accident in a few weeks times.....thats all hypothetically speaking of course.

It's not a hooded figure, it's the woman having moved position. Look at her back. You can see a pump through her body, as if she's transparent.
She starting pumping as she was standing up on the pedestal thing the pumps are mounted on and then moved left, probably so she could see the counter dial.
I often start pumping and then move but for some strange reason nobody is taking my picture while I'm doing it

Why are people so paranoid about their reg plates?

What can someone here do that they couldn't just look out their window and find a reg to do it with?

Jesus Christ, Is there anything people wont argue about on this forum. Other than politeness and respect for the person in the photograph, it is generally what most people would do on the internet with any picture of a car.

Sorry to be honest I don't know the answer to those 3 questions. I will talk to L tomorrow morning and try and get more details on it though.

L is the lady in the photo, a work colleague.

I for one wasn't arguing so much as I was debating with you Riamfada, which, to be fair is what people tend to do on forums such as these. My question was a genuine one in the first instance. Like the whole private numbers thing I fail to see why people get so hung up on car registration numbers when one can go out onto the street and spot them anyway.

I think this is the most realistic explanation. A lot more plausable an explanation than the fuel nozzle which many people seem to be suggesting. I absolutely fail to see how the fuel nozzle would leave such an outline...

Give it up on the licence plate argument. If the op is ok with it, so are we.
