Spooky experiences while researching Part 2
« on: Sunday 25 June 06 13:44 BST (UK) »
I decided to start a new thread with this subject as these pictures will get lost

The main story is here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,134170.0.html

Here are the two pictures. The 1st was drawn by me in November 2005 and the photo was given to me in December 2005.

Check both of them out and see if you can find the man in the drawn picture in the photo.

Oh dear  :-\

I was hoping you would pick the same one as me. Quite a few have said that but the man you picked was his brother Thomas.

Try again? Clue - the groom is his brother  David so that leaves two men.

Look carefully especially at the shirt

I modified the message Carol. But my first choice looks rather spooky - it seemed to draw me to him, it was only when I went back and looked again that I notice him on the end. Even weirder - as if he was hiding from me  ???

Strange you should say that as when I first got the photo I never noticed him. Two days later while cropping those whose names I knew, I "saw" him

Very spooky - right down to the shirt collar shape - everyone else has ponted collars. His is the only rounded one

He's hidden from me for so long and then once he appears everything about him, his mother and grandparents shows up

Different eyes and nose - the nose could be explained by memory but the eyes, I'm sure, you would have drawn as deep set and the brows are heavier. Same shapedface though.

But I think I'll let others comment now.
