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 !

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
