OMG that was sooooo fake.  Once again, it just goes to show how much people want it to be true, even when the author is telling them not to believe it.  Jeezh!   But, you know what?   I remember combing the internet ten years ago and looking for as many "ghost" photos as possible, and be underwhelmed by the ones that now are considered authentic and creeped out by images that I would now look at and just think, "Oh, brother!"  It's all part of the learning curve.  On the flip side, though:  some people never learn.   ???  Some sorts of ignorance are just plain ol' willful.
If you want to end your misery, start enjoying it, because there's nothing the universe begrudges more than our enjoyment.

I agree with Karl. Anybody that looks at that photo can see that its a fake.

Well...not everyone thought it was a fake, obviously.  I don't think that the person did it as a joke.  I think they wanted to pass it off as real and then realized he was going to get busted and was in over his head when he was contacted by the media so he confessed.
