Hello
One thing that has always spooked me is moving pictures. In my old mans front room, he has a small photograph of my Nan and Grandad which was taken whilst on holiday almost 20 years ago. Now obviously it has alot of sentimental meaning to my family and to myself, as both of them are now deceased.
But many nights when I lived there, I could be either watching TV or walking into the room and I would swear that one of them had just moved in the picture. Only very slight movement, but enough for them to either be giving me a wave or sharing a quick comment. Most of the time I checked the photograph but it had not altered in any way, shape or form. I also tried several times staring at the pic whilt listening to music, but apart from the odd flicker of my own eye causing my vision to jump around, there was no obvious movement.
Sometimes when alone in the house at night, this spooked me so much I would turn the photo around to such an angle to that whereever I was in the room I wouldnt be able to see them both.
Obviously the eye can play many tricks and I'm sure this is the case here, accompanied with a very over active imagination. I am always reminded of the scene in the film 'IT' when the photograph of Billy's dead brother winks at him and begins to bleed.
Not quite as dramatic this, but has anyone else on here been so spooked by a picture or photograph 'apparently' taking a life of its own?
Or maybe I'm going craaazzzzy?
