explanation of image
- This is a deceased family member. Either a brother lost to Melissa, or a brother of the mother taking the picture.

It is, or it isn't.
- I do have a couple of questions about this picture. What is that flowery background closest to Melissa's friend? Initially I thought it was a shower curtain. Then I started examining the picture more intently. It's not a shower curtain. So what is it? Secondly, the boy in the pic looks very familiar. It's as if I've seen him in another ghost photo or something. Now, I'm not saying that this is a hoax. I'm just saying that the kid looks very familiar. Melissa said she and her family has no idea who the boy is. He seems to be mesmerized, as if in deep thought. He's looking down and to his right. I'd like to know what that flowery pattern is to say for sure what this might be. Lastly, Melissa was 13 when this pic was taken. I wonder what she looks like all grown-up!

boy in bathroom
- I think it is a double exposure. I don't know what's with ghosts and bathrooms. I have one that unscrews 1 lightblub in a 6 lightbar over the BR sink. It is 7 ft high, no kids in house, put it in tight within 5 min. light is out, loose in socket, blub ready to fall out. Lasts about 2 wks, quits, resumes in about a year. Just someone passing by, saying hi, I'm here. Nothing to be scared of.

seriously looks real to me
- The photo looks like a boy or girl of african american decent. Seems to be looking down, and in deep thought. I truly do not believe it to be a hoax or trick of light. Some things are just what they are, unexplainable.

Double Exposer
- I honestly can't see it to well but to me it looks like it might be a double exposer.

Ghost boy
- A trick of the light and positioning of images. Quite likely a double exposure.

consider...
- The picture was taken on Halloween in the 80's, so we know it's on film. Also, it's possible that many pics were taken on or around Halloween of her or her friend or others, all possibly in costume. It could be double exposure of that (which would also possibly explain why it's looking at the camera. Another thing to think about is if you go in close you can see the shower door looks like it's open (and behind/to the left of the shorter girl - it looks like it swings open as opposed to sliding). You can see the wallpaper through the door. The "ghost" definitely looks like it is wearing make-up, as TAwsum said. It also does seem to be wearing a hat, as nikita said & those were quite popular for girls and boys in the 80's. The shirt looks like a band shirt. I can make out a person's picture. But it also looks like faded wallpaper blending there too. I hope it's possible to get the enhanced pic up to compare.

Shadow and Tiles
- I think it may just be a shadow effect. If you look at his 'hair', its actually part of a bigger shadow of something that goes on to the right side of the shower. The eyes and nose appear to be just part of the white from the edges of the tiles on the shower.

My thoughts
- I too have manipulated the image a bit, very simply. I agree with nikita76543 in that the solid part of the boy's hair is actually the girl's hair that is sticking up in the back. To me, it looks like the "boy" is in clown make up. And, if you try to compare "his" face, especially "his" nose to the girls in the picture, I think "he" most resembles the girl in the right side of the photo. A younger brother perhaps? Which leads me to wonder, if there were only 2 people in the room and you can see that their hands are not holding the camera, who was taking the picture? My verdict? It's a reflection of the photographer, who is also in make up for the evening.

not convinced either
- it doesn't look like it was a double exposure, i mean that looks like one demonic looking apparition besides i agree with Guest Markgreyam he is looking straight at the camera
