I came across an article Here about a ghost tour in Picton, New South Wales Australia where a photo take by a woman appears to show 2 children. The photographer and others swear that no children were present during the tour. According to local legends it is believed that the photo shows David Shaw and Blanche Moon who died 60 years apart and adds to the myriad of ghost stories that surround this part of Australia. Renee English, who took the photo said:
“When we were standing at the bank looking into the Cemetery I was just snapping away and making jokes about the whole thing and asking when the ghosts were going to come out, I know that when I took that photo there was no-one else in the cemetery. The only people we saw were a family of four about 10 minutes later but those kids were clinging to their parents the whole time.”

The photo shows very dark and grainy headstones with the children showing as crisp and bright.
This is the problem with Photoshop and other graphics programs. Manipulation of evidence is easily achieved and very convincing to anyone other than someone versed in photographic forensics.
I’d love to take the photographer’s word that no children were present, however I believe these children, fortunately are among the living.
I’m no photo expert, but there are obvious flaws in the photo. Besides the already noted facft that everything in the photo is grainy, except for the children, there are other things.
1. Both children dressed in what appears to be white tee shirts and shorts. Not appropriate attire for the time frame in which they supposedly died.
2. Both children (if not the same child) appear to be totally bored, as if they were ordered by an adult to do something that they don’t want to do.
There’s no way I can believe this is a legitimate photo of the paranormal.
i think these are real i live a few house up from this place and i get cold shivers and my eyes start to water a random times. i think this is 100% real. picton is one of the oldst topwns in aus and the most haunteed town in australia.
Thanks for your comment, while I do believe this place to be very high in activity I don’t think this picture is real. There are too many flaws in the photo, as you can see by some of the other comments it appears that this may be someone’s attempt at a hoax using photoshop or other similar photo editing software. If you have other experiences about the area please share, we would love to hear them.
