A face in the background over the right shoulder of Yasline Rubio is of an unknown woman who Yasline's family says was not in the room at the time the photograph was taken. They do not recognize the woman, either.

Gloria Torres is a little bit bothered, perhaps even slightly frightened, but upset for sure.

When a photograph of her granddaughter, 3-year-old Yasline Rubio, revealed more than just the toddler, Torres couldn't believe her eyes.

In the background, more clearly than the photograph of the child, is a woman's face.

"There was no one else in the room," Torres said Tuesday. "There is nothing there that could have reflected someone. We don't know who this woman is. We can't explain it."

The ghostly image is of a young, dark-haired woman, one who Torres believes Yasline communicates with.

"Sometimes the baby will be chatting away, and we will ask her who she's talking to," said her mother, Rosa Guerra, who took the photograph. "This might be who it is."

Torres, who recently bought the house in the 500 block of Oak Street, said she has tried to contact the previous owner to get a clue to the woman's identity.

"He hasn't gotten back in touch with me, but I'd like to know if maybe someone passed away in this house," she said.

^ And why do you claim it was 'photoshopped' -- other than you don't know anything else ... ? :laugh:

Look at the "Ghost" image. it's much darker than the actual image it was placed on. Exposure doesn't magically do things like the image above, where the "ghost" image is a circular cut out image.

^ And why do you claim it was 'photoshopped' -- other than you don't know anything else ... ? :laugh:

it just doesn't look like it belongs there, clearly a shop job, and a bad one at that, the story should have been posted in the jokes section.

The "face" is way too small, unless it's a midget ghost, plus it just doesn't look like it belongs there, clearly a shop job, and a bad one at that,

^ 'way too small' for what ? You expect a ghostly image to be normally proportioned, as a normal size person would be ?

And in fairness, it does strike me as some type of painted portrait. ;)

Because I have had fun making them before and that's generally the poor result I ended up with too :D

Plus the photoshopped ghost face is sharper than the actual photo of the kid !

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
