Ghosts are most often photographed in ancient castles and on gloomy cemeteries, but under water – this is something new. 52 year old Darren Harris from Birmingham claims he managed to capture in the picture of just such a phantom that materialized at a depth of The Red Sea.
The British had a rest in the Egyptian city of Hurghada and one day decided to go diving. Submerged in water, he several times shot friends on the phone, and subsequently unexpectedly noticed on one something ominous from the resulting images. Bubbles ejected scuba gear of his comrades, merged together, forming humanoid figure. Harris is convinced that she looks like skeleton or even a ghost.
Here is what our hero told reporters of the Mirror tabloid:
We swam near the reef, and I took a lot of pictures, testing a waterproof case for your smartphone. I did not notice nothing unusual in this photo until he returned to United Kingdom. This is very creepy. I don’t really believe in ghosts and other supernatural things, but I still don’t by myself from this silhouette that I captured under water. To me it seems to be some kind of sign – after all, nothing happens in this world random, that’s what I believe unconditionally.

Boarding users reacted to the picture and the words of the Englishman in mostly extremely mocking. In their opinion, this is the most common pareidolic illusion, although surprisingly rare and even amazingly beautiful. Darren, however, ignores skeptics and continues to build theories regarding the alleged native with of the next world. He believes that we can talk about the spirit of a drowned man, once said goodbye to life in this place.
And here is the opinion of another web user – a supporter the reality of this “underwater ghost”:
Pareidolic illusion is a purely academic term, invented by the orthodox from science. We still don’t really know why our brain snatches from reality surrounding us some images and objects familiar to us, where they, in fact, should not to be. After all, the work of the brain, its failures can be blamed for anything (this is how science and religion manipulate us), but then another question arises – why modern cameras and camcorders also prone to para-idol illusions? Why technology grabs something mysterious and mystical from the world around us? We will never understand, of course, what kind of “ghost” took off under water Darren, but he is one hundred percent right that this is far from random play of light. Or rather it will even say this: this game of light – far from accidental!
