Unexplained person found in photo thumbnail
I was busy searching for a photo on my Windows XP PC. Searching in a folder that was set to thumbnail view I found this image that I thought I could use. Upon opening it, I noticed that the image displayed in the thumbnail was different to the image displayed in full view .
The enlarged photo was missing a shadow that looked to be a man standing next to the stairs on the right.
Proportions of the shadow in the thumbnail look completely real.
This is the original photo on my pc that shows a figure next to the stairs when viewing in Windows XP thumbnail view.
This is what the thumbnail looks like
What I did was cut out the figure, enlarged it and placed it over the large photo.
Download the top image and try for yourself.
So can any one explain this????? (comments welcome)

You can see the spots in the large versions where the person would be. The thumbnail was generated and embedded prior to this person being cut from the image.

Strangest thing. I downloaded it like you said. Saved it in “my pictures” and when I opened “pictures” the thumb nail was there with the figure in it and while I was watching the figure disappeared like in about 2 seconds. Now no matter how many times I download it there is no figure. Wierd HuH?

If you look at the clouds in the photo and look at it with your head turned to about 3 o’clock it looks like a man’s face! Anyone else see it??
