OT: Strange Things

[Atrocities]

I have no way of saying this without showing it to you. A while back I took a digital picture of my cat while she was laying on my bed. I then set it as my wall paper and never really gave it a second thought. Tonight I was looking at it and noticed something in the reflection of her eye.

This is were it gets really weird.

There is a face being semi reflected in her eye. It is not me, nor is it any one I know as I was alone in the room at the time I took the picture.

I sware to god it is not me, nor is it a digital manipulation or in any altered image.

This is really freaky. I recall reading something as a child that cats can see the dead, but that is just plain dumb. Or is it?

You be the Judge Ghost Image

I see.

Well, if you believe in it, cats are amongst the few animals that have direct contact with the spirit world - they can see all the spiritual things that happen in your home. I can give you several things about their behavior that can help you.
Either way, if this disturbs you, get a priest or a medium -- one you believe is true -- to look over your apartment or house.

This is, if you believe in such stuff. I also remember hearing of some ways to get rid of spirits (i was kinda interested in that several years ago) so i can try to remember if you want. i can also ask somebody.

The sick thing is we have always suspected that the place was, *insert pause* haunted to some degree given all the bad luck that has occured here. This is just so strange to see a face in the reflection of a cats eye that it should be made into a scary movie. It made my fine neck hair stand up on end.

I see a face like figure. Do i believe in ghost or haunted houses? No. I do believe that people can leave "energy traces" in some circumstances. Like being murdered. And i believe that some people can "detect" these energy patterns but i do not believe that such energy can really affect your life.

Look to you cats left eye: you also see a weird pattern there going from left to right. Sometimes things look spooky but aren't. I think this is such a case but for an explanation of what you see in that eye, i don't know.

Edit: in the house i'm in now (i grew up here, moved somewhere else and then moved back), i had a closet. The closet was in the room where i slept. My sister also slept there. One night i woke up and i swear i heard something on the closet shouting at me. I started screaming and ran to my parents room and i didn't sleep there again until they put the closet on the attic. When i went up the attic, i always felt a chill down my spine and i could swear that the closet was watching me. Freaky. I know it was silly, yet when i think back of that closet. On of the first things i did when i moved back here was check to attic out to see if the closet was gone. I was.

Hmmm... morning ... hmmm ... play by web ... email ... yawn ... coffee maker ... hmm ... Intel Forums ... what's Atrocities about now ... download ... image building ....

Wah!

Giant cat!

Demon eyes!

What the ... Growltigga? ... no, a real cat.

Wha... how did Atrocities change my wallpaper with a download ...

*Ding*

Ohh...coffee's ready

Slurp. Ah. Life returns. Oh wait, that's not my desktop. Heh. Silly me.

Cute cat. Resembles my long lost kitty. That eye reflects something. But with her eyes narrowed down to slits like that in the bright light, she most likely can't see it herself.

Let me qualify my statement by saying I do not reject the existence of spirits.

But...

I looked at the picture and I couldn't say that it looked exactly like a face.

[Loser]

I ought to be possible to grab the cat's eye, filter out the specific colors of the eye itself, de-warp the image as a reflection projected onto a round surface (assuming a sphere should be safe enough). Then reverse the colors for greater contrast and we may have a better view of the issue.

Not that I'm the guy to do these things, but I know we have some photo-manipulators here...

[geoschmo]

You could do that Loser, but you would lose any sort of image in the process. Assuming it's not Atrocities playing a joke on us, then it is just an optical illusion and not a real reflection. Doing all that manipulation to the image will eliminate the random bits and color variances that our minds are connecting together to make a recognizable pattern. Like when the "Mars Face" viewed from another angle becomes just another mountain.

That's a "Rorschach’s inkblot" as far as I can tell; it has whatever meaning you put in it. As you can see in the right eye (left in this image) you are taking a photograph of a cat looking at a window. That eye reflects what seems to be a pattern of shadows in or just outside your room. That same pattern continues across both eyes, which is why you see the inkblot in the darker left eye. Probably a tree, they tend to produce those kinds of shadows.

However, can you see the raw demonic world-destroying god-slaying power in my avatar photo?
[edit:] Ooops, no avatar photo here yet.
