Otherworld North East

24th June, myself and Sarah Hutchinson of OWNE went to the Keep with the permission
of Paul McDonald, the warden and tried to recreate the photograph. For the recreation I
wore pale trousers and shoes to try and create some definition, but wore the same jacket
I had on the night of the April investigation. My hair, it was noted, was also longer,
meaning less ear pixellation to create a ‘face’.
So is the photograph a fake as has been suggested on many sites? The answer is NO: it is
merely a misinterpretation based on faulty EXIF data, and underlines one of the many
dangers in digital photography: always check your date and time is set properly!
