This photo was sent in anonymously    Is this a Faerie?

I'm with Manuela on this one, it looks too good to be true, as did that Orb picture actually.

its a daddy long leg  a insect catch in the flash and its not a fence its a cobble set drive or road

i think you're right about it being a bug (mosquito or spider perhaps)... but it does look awesome and has that mysterious magic feel to it... kinda like sitting with the kids keeping an eye out for santa in the night sky...

It looks like a bug, probably a dragonfly, the colors of which are saturated due to the flash. Bugs often have reflective chitinous coatings. It would also explain the two wings on one side and wing on the other (The fourth wing is likely hidden by the body of they fly, or its shadow)

I don't think that is a bug. A bug has a shell lol. That figure there is slim, it has a tiny human like body with legs and arms, and the head is clean of any horns. So it's either a fairy or a hoax. I tend towards the hoax explanation, because the the figure is too bright compared to the surroundings, as Manuela has noted. A bug would blend in more with the darkness of the background.

Ok if it is a grasshopper, can you show me where it's  shell is?
Do you see how grasshoppers and other bugs have a fat shell in the torso area?
The creature is the picture not only doesn't have any shell but looks like a tiny skinny human with wings. To me it doesn't look at all as any insect.

Well the grasshopper was only my opinion......But not all BUGS have hard shells.  

It does have a look of a grasshopper but the shape to me is more human than a bug. It would be beautiful and amazing if it was a fairy and very dissapointing if it was a hoaks. I guess no one will be completely sure but each of us will make our own minds up reguardless

That's actually a spider...The flash and camera couldn't catch the web, but that's definitely a spider.  What kind of spider, I do not know, but it is a spider, plain as day to a trained eye (photographers like myself who have taken thousands of pictures can often see things in pictures that most people miss).

very nice picture indeed.

i blew it up here 750% in photoshop and had the program autocorrect the colors... pretty interesting.

i would love this to be real!

I have one more witch i think is a moth,but here you can see that it's vérry bright too,so i still guessing from the flash from the camera,but that explaines the brightness of the picture posted by Evie.

I put in another one that seem to be a swarm of musquito's.So i do look fore rational findings,but i do believe the elf one likes are real!

WHOA! and the 082 Copie picture is so sparkley and neat!!!!

goodness yall it is a dragonfly,  but i love the way it made everyone think the big what if it was a fairy.

of course it could be a grasshopper as mentioned earlier in this topic. and of course there may have been a fairy catching the cross town on that hoppers back.



peace

Hello Huns,

I thought it was time to let you know that this picture of the Faerie (?) was sent in by myself.

Why? .. I was seeking unbiased thoughts about this interesting thing which popped up in the picture. I wanted it to be fun and did not have any other need to post this.  I know how easily people can say what they think the other person wants to hear because they know of them personally or otherwise. Saying that, I think the responses received were very interesting to me.  I know for certain that had I created this thread under my own name, the responses by many would have been very different.

Thank you all for your thoughts and the like. ♥


A lil note for otacon122:

Sorry but as sure as you are about it being a spider, that was no spider.  The 'being' is actually hovering close by.  I'll explain further in a bit.  I guess this is one of those pictures an experienced photographer could not make out hmm?    Don't mind me, I'm just teasing you.


A lil note for theresearcher:

Sorry to burst your idea about the person who had this pic sent in (Myself) but as explained above, I had a good reason for this.
Not everyone likes to or needs to shout about their experiences and 'finds' and nor does one need to boast about them.  I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself.
Rest assured I am not the type to make a fool of anyone and have more important things in life to do than play with people and have a laugh at their expense.  The psychoanalysis you tried to do on the picture sender was far from being accurate.  That being said, your thoughts and ideas are true to you and therefore right for you, no matter the lack of truth in it afterall I suppose. A weird thing that.    Something for us to think about .


A lil note to those who were quick to use the more cynical and pessimistic words of 'hoax' and 'fake':

I don't know how to do photoshop, don't have the application nor sit around playing with images in order to deceive.  I don't place illusions before myself in order to 'fit in' anywhere and therefore would not waste my own or anyone else's time in doing anything which was less than true to me and pure of heart.

I have found it amazing to see how easily people are swayed to believe something falls under the category of a hoax or of being fake.  How easily they perceive things to not fit in with (what exactly? I ask myself).  I'm no expert in photography or whatnot but does something being more brighter than the rest of what is in the picture mean that it is too good to be true?  Can something which is too good not be true?.  I ponder further and hush up.


A lil note to those who see something more etheric in the picture:

Although things can often be explained away via logic, rationale, the science et all, not always can this be deemed to be exactly that which is explained to such mental perfection.  Good on you for saying what you think and feel, knowing how easily one can get pounced on for thinking 'out of the norm'.    


CuriousCat, your picture is beautiful and very etheric.  It really does seem similar to the pic in this thread.  Like yourself, I also go through a process of 'what-it-could-be' before I allow myself to go with whatever it is inside that pops out.  The only thing altered in my picture is that I had myself (bar a lil arm) cut out from it.  


To end this post with some info about this picture.

This photo was taken last year on my birthday (the arm in the picture is mine).  The 'being' that is caught in the photo is not a spider nor a grasshopper or mosquito and this I can surely say so.  It does seem somewhat like a fly of some sort but something tells me otherwise.

There is no wall close to where I am standing and in fact the 'being' is hovering next to me. There is no fence either. What some of you are seeing is the clean and cobbled tiled floor.

I'd also like to add that in the U.K in the month of June (when this pic was taken), during that specific evening, no flies of the perceived kind were flying around in that area.  The 'being' is close to my arm and all.  It was dark there with only a lil light in the background.  

What do I make of this photo? .. I personally feel that on this day specifically, from the moment I woke up, I had felt magickal things around me and this continued into the evening.  It's certainly something that's for sure.  


Warm hugs to you each.  Have a lovely day. ♥

EnchantingSoul

Thanks Enchantingsoul,you are so lucky fore having such special feelings.

And as you said,like on your pic.No photoshop done here!!!
This is how it shows on the photo.

Quite large for an insect,don't you think?

Hello Cap. Science. Welcome to the site

I am not sure which photo specifically you were responding to because there were others added to this thread by curiouscat after the initial photo was posted in this thread at the beginning.  I wanted to let you know that if you had been following this thread from the beginning and read the replies, you'd have come across a post by the person who initially had the photo sent in and set up by Evie (admin).  The person was myself and I explained some stuff in my response to the member's thoughts on it.

As good as it is being a sceptic, it does not work in anyone's favour to be so adamant upon what you have decided something to be, based upon one's scepticism towards it's existence.  To then make a confident assumption of the workings of the person using such means as ''photoshop'' to play around with the images also does nothing for healthy scepticism.  I am saying this because I hope you have read the post I specifically posted since the initial picture was of me.

Quote:


To the above comment you had made (quoted text), can you explain why you are so sure about it being computer generated and how one can 'tell' that it is computer generated? I am not savvy in online technical stuff.

When we do not know someone and are a sceptic, it is all too easy to place the ''photoshop'' thang into practice to explain away such ''fact'' for that which is deemed a myth and therefore too good to be true.  
My thought here is, had you known me before you had seen this post, would you have made the assumption of the photoshop thang or tried to explain it in another way? a way which contributes to 'healthy' scepticism?

Not wanting to upset others and yourself here. Suppose I am sharing my own thoughts of what I have observed from sceptics over the years whilst reading their responses to others threads and the like.  It's not really original and stuff.. Fact or not.. something fresh needs to be part of the sceptics reasoning surely.  

I appreciate healthy scepticism but am tiring of those types whom latch on to the 'tricks' others use and then hide behind these ways as a way of backing up their thoughts on something.  Something they, themselves do not belief in so much and are looking for ways to quickly explain why something cannot be real.. hmm..

Gotta be cheeky here and say that since this is not a photoshop thang, it is taken out of the equation. There is now, nothing out there to explain it as being 'fake' is it.  It may be many things like bugs and such but fake? nopes.

Thanks for your response Cap.Science. ♥

EnchantingSoul

EnchantingSoul please trust me when i say its fake. I dont what to hurt or crush what you believe in. I am just say what I tthink like you are.  To each there own

I too don't know wich photo you refer to Cap.Science,but i can promisse you that the pictures i posted are NOT! photo shopt.What you see is what apears on the digital photografe.It's authentic.
And i do believe so that Enchantingsoul's picture is'nt fake either!
I totally agree whit her comments.You should be more open minded,couse there are things we just can't explain.

Captain Science, I posted that I thought it was a grasshopper.  Only because I have no experience with fairies..  Maybe you are scientifically looking for an explanation for the same reasons..  I found this video on the internet and thought I would share....

What do you believe...  I believe it's real...  Still don't personally know that it is a fairy, but may be an insect... But since I'm not an expert in this field....  and also because I know a bit about enchanting soul and her honesty... I say it's real...............

What a nice experience at the end of a magical day!  I hope I am privvy to this someday too!

Cmon you guys...  This looks like a fairy..... See the face, the eyes and the wings and even the legs....  

I see a fairy..... and she looks like she is smiling.

and if you can see that "fairy" smiling, you are lying or stoned out of your mind!

Because I believe in God.  

You are right about tolerance.  Have you ever seen a true fairy?  Do you know anyone who has seen a true fairy and can prove it?  Just wondering.

Icanseeu,I do believe in God too,he is my priority.But did you know there is  actually  a story that God came to see Eve in paradise while she was wasching her children,but some of them where still dirty and Eve was ashamed fore God to see them like this,so she hid them in the bushes.God ofcourse knew what she did and it displeased him,so he said that from know on they would for ever be hidden in the bushes and no man would ever see them.Now they are known as fairy's ore elves.

I'm not saying that i do believe this story,but it has a possibillity to it.

how are fairys real  

I think that this may be fake, already pointed out, the Faerie is well brighter than the rest of this photo, and there's just not enough evidence. Images like this are easily photo shopped.

I am not trying to annoy anyone, you sort of cunfused me, I thought you meant that you had it sent to you off the web. In the contex that it is your picture, that brings a whole new light on the subject, would you mind telling me where this was taken, if anything was seen before that etc. I am sorry, when I was replying to this i was really really scared, I still am a bit, ive confused myself now good picture

   The pic is of me and the details of everything I have to share about it can be read by following the thread from the beginning. You will be able to get more from it this way before coming to conclusions I hope.

Don't let a fear of something become negative for you. ♥

Incidentally, what is scaring you about all of this Lead Investagator?

P.S.. The 'Note' is for those who are doing it knowingly, on purpose. You don't seem the type to but in case you are, watch it mister.  

EnchantingSoul

Oooh Mysticwings I have just watched the youtube video you posted in this thread.    Now THAT truly is a class act by the family who acted in it.  It's what one can deem as being FAKE.  The fairy was SO Hollywood and a bit sinister looking, at it. Freaked me out enough.

Aww Lead Investagator, warm hugs to you. Nup you didn't annoy me. Really so.  

I have seen that you have requested some help with the things going on around you. fldragon (from the Paranormal Attachments and Clearings board) will be in touch soon, so look for his reply to your post.

EnchantingSoul

[color=#ff00ff][/color][size=12][/size][font=Georgia][/font] i think definitely a fake because you dont see the typical paranormal aruras in the pic. there is nothing off about the background. I get the feel they were laughing when the pic was taken, My opinion of course. Blessings

i see a spider for some reason lol

Looks like a spider to me

It looks like a Dragonfly to me too, and possibly even a grasshopper.

I'm not sure to be honest, people have said that fairies (if thats how you spell it) are little orbs of light and i've seen fairies like that, mabe if you look closer like this photo, mabe they look like the one on this photo but then again, it could be photoshopped :/

Grasshopper mid-jump. As usual, apologies if it's been mentioned as I've not read all replies.

Some do not believe in faeries. I myself have seen a documentary on this subject, which was very detailed and convincing. The documentary in question had me now thinking that perhaps there was more to life then what we actually see.

Kinda looks like a grasshopper or flying bug of some sort.
Im not shur.

Nata.

That looks like CGI to me and i work in that field.

hehe it looks like one of those seed things we used to chase as a child. catch a fairy let it go make a wish then blow blow blow.

I have to agree that I think it's fake also.

I have to agree with the others that the photo is fake also. Either that or it's a bug but I think it's fake.  Such a shame people have to fake things.

EnchantingSoul

I stand humbled and corrected.

Jim

Interesting. At first I really thought it was a spider because the shape of the head looks a lot like a the backside of a spider, but there just aren't enough legs. Hmm. Good question.

I posted before but think it was removed,

Yes, this looks like a fairy.....  

who's photo is it and were was it taken

it's faked.  notice A) the convenience of the all black background, B) who only takes a picture of just a hand?

quite interesting x id like to think there real

It looks like an insect, but looking like an insect would be a great disguise for tiny creatures with wings. Gives them more room to never be noticed.  

Looks like a zoomed in bug to me a flying insect

I dont think this is a fairy. It is too sharp for something that gives light.

how did the person zoom the pic this much? it looks fake

Looks unique!! The picture with it zoomed in looks stranger.

Sorry , but does not it looks like a mosquito

Hmmm I don't think it's a fairy, BUT  with the right angle... it could be a Dragonfly LoL  Just sayin'...
