The Mudman Photos

Read the full investigation here: http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert/apparition1.php

It includes photos of other bizarre apparitions allegedly caught by the same cameraman.

That's a fascinating website.

Those pics are seriously distrubing

bharvey · 23-11-2010, 02:01 PM

Isn't it amazing that some of these photo's seem to match
other photo's taken from different sources? Like Readers Digest?

In the second "Mudman" photo, the background under the right
arm even seems to match.

Amazing!

Is it not also amazing that when there are multiple pics of
what seems to be the same subject, they are so very static.
As in, it seems to be the same pose, or position, only distorted
or blurry in some way.

Amazing!

Could this guy be channeling and projecting other photographers work?
Does he have some sort of mental photo manipulation lobe in his brain?

Amazing!

Wow.

I thought I'd click on this thread and see something slightly debatable like a half assed bigfoot photo. Instead, I see pictures of some sort of action figure with a new head on it shoved right up in the camera lens when taking a picture.

No offense to you of course, size of light. I like your threads and all. But this photographer and his pictures are a pile of horse shit.

Great for a laugh though.

micklemus · 23-11-2010, 02:23 PM

LOL!

This is very funny! Oh, sorry, I've just seen that this isn't in the "Have a Laugh" forum!

Excuse me.

Definitely real. Definitely not poor PhotoShopping and resizing. Definitely not.

Great thread!

The foundation/organization of the site which the pics were taken from, has had some shady funding....not surprising.

On the history page, I quote....

Quote:

In 1999 an opportunity to carry out some new research presented itself when New York philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller offered funding. In order to meet Mr. Rockefeller's requirements Ms. Talbott sought and was granted non-profit, tax-exempt status, and BLT Research Team Inc. was created, with Ms. Talbott as President.

No offense taken - I didn't take the damn photos!

The story that accompanies this makes it much more interesting than what initially just looks like some dodgy Photoshop cut-and-paste jobs though.

According to guy who wrote it, the photographer can snap the photos in the presence of others, using someone else's camera and never owned a computer when these photos were taken.

Some of the photos look pretty neat, like the levitating boy, the old man's face 'configuring' and the little man floating in front of the curtains, whereas others look pretty lame like this one:

where it looks like somebody has forgotten to cut out the background scenery between the figure's right arm and it's torso.

There's another one with a German soldier that seems to be taken from a book on World War 2 that it was later matched to, right down to part of the soldier's elbow being missing because in the book photo the soldier marching in from of him obscured it. But the buttons etc. on the uniform in the two photos are different, which makes it an odd combination of obvious, clumsy fakery and intentionally altered details.

If anyone hasn't but is interested, it's worth reading the whole investigation.

That is interesting.

This made me laugh, they all look so fake, anybody with any knowledge of playing around with a camera can clearly see that?!

miguean · 24-11-2010, 08:39 PM

instantly i knew these were fake good laugh though

Your imaginary rock face thread was bad enough.

Hey man, I just find it ironic for someone with "bullshit detective" in their AV to propagate so much of it.

Hmm, Yeah I don't know about this one. It literally looks like someone took an action figurine, covered it in mud and then held it up to camera. Very, very suspect, almost hokey and not that believable at all IMHO.
