"The man in the window" the stuff that halloween stories are made of captured in a photo... You walk past this old house built around the time grandpa was still a toddler. Looking up the second story window you see a man looking unto the street as if watching your every move. You run the fastest 400 meters ever to get to your friends, fueled by fear, knowing that the house was abandoned , locked and condemned and no one could possibly be in it lest they were...from the other side.( horror music up and under)
Still in a state of frenzy, you and the few friends you’ve called on to lay testament to this horrifying find manage to creep back to the house to where you could at least get a glimpse of what or who was in the window...but the man was gone.
Your fears confirmed, you all run towards your respective houses, chafing at the bit to spread the tale of this ghostly apparition, adding to the lore and the mystery and the myth – of the man in the window. But unbeknownst to you, all you had to do to catch the man in the window was to just stand at exactly the same spot where you first saw him. Cause reflections are illusions, mostly of what you want to see... Another boy is on his walk home and at this time the window, the plastic bags behind it, and the tree across it, wait to see if he will be the next gullible storyweaver. Mwahahaha…. Happy halloween!

Good story Louie - we do scare easily and children love to be scared - but only for a little while.
Most 'sightings' have a real answer. Good one
Hey, but look at the window on the left - I can see someone with their arm raised holding onto the top of the window... YOU said the house was empty!!
Sleep well tonight!

hi Louie
good picture that tell the story bet there bats in that builing as well maybe i would have cloned the wire running across the front but thats just my op thjanks for posting o the theme

Funny note.

I don't see a man but maybe a tree in the window.

I think it lacks a bit of the mood you note has. Maybe if you had shot this at night time but then maybe the reflection wouldn't have been there.

I think you should have cloned out those branches in the top or composed a little differently to avoid them.

Cheers,
Jens

HI Louie

The mood is set by the note..well done, but I feel a more mooder image is needed. Darker and spooker.
If you dont mind I will do a workshop for you.
