I don't see anything wrong with the picture, it's quite amusing and cute the way the ghost is just perched there on the arm. I didn't see anything wrong with the idea of using a second story to make others notice the ghost image, as far as laughs go either. Letting others discover it is a very useful tactic to pulling off a good hoax, because you don't have to make the initial claim that it's real, so it's likely to take longer for someone to ask if it's a fake. However, I don't particularly care for people not owning up to a hoax once they've been called out. That's where trolling begins, and this time Nepherael got the brunt of it.
Oddly enough, I didn't even notice the ghost image until someone pointed it out. I just figured it was shoddy picture quality (which coincidentally, is the source of many ghost pics! lol).
The point I was making earlier though, was that when these things come from people who honestly try and get others to buy into some of the universes more "unbelievable" theories, things like this tend to ruin their credibility. A perfectly apporopriate example would be someone trying to prove UFO's exist, that gets caught having creating a UFO hoax video, and trying to pass it off as real. Sure the video may get a good laugh, but how many people are going to believe the next UFO video they "expose"? It wouldn't matter if it was an Average Joe/Jane pulling the prank, because they aren't trying to convince you that ghosts/ufos/planet xanadu is real once the gag is over. But for anyone who wants to maintain future credibility in the subject their hoaxing, it's something that should be taken into consideration.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
