I have heard about this story years ago and it occurred to me to post it here. I am not sure if anyone else has brought this one up on this site before, my apologies if it has been a discussed topic. But here it is:..Ghost Boy in 'Three Men and a Baby'..Ghost Boy in Three Men and a Baby And of course here is the part of the movie as seen on Youtube where the boy appears. If you pause it at 0:34 you will clearly see the boy. And I know that there was no boy featured in the film having seen this movie before - LOL And probably like many people out there, I did not see him standing there when watching the movie (which was years ago and I was obviously not a very observant kid either)...Well, if you know anything else about it I 'd like to know. Or tell me what you think.

.I read something, a couple of years back, about how there was nothing paranormal to the image at all. I can't remember what, or where now, but I will do a search; see what comes up.

The "ghost" was confirmed to be a cardboard cut out.

.Right! Thanks for jogging my lamentable memory.

[Chupa]

They also mention this it in the article that the_reader gave us.

[the_reader]

I have read about Ted Danson's cardboard cut out was put into the movie (and covered that same area where the boy had been seen. But not that the boy is a cardboard cut out (even though it looks like it). Whether its a stunt by the movie producers, people on the set etc we will never know.

[Chupa]

I only had a quick look at the article that you provided, so I'm not familiar with the details. . Thus my question the_reader: what proof has been given that the boy is not the cardboard cutout?

.Yes, I can find no direct proof to that, and I have searched. The problem is that there has been so much conjecture and variable media and general public rumor published that it is difficult to sift to the truth.....And, I'm confused. Let me explain. Firstly, there appear to be two 'cardboard cutouts,' one of which is clearly, imho, Ted Danson; dressed in a black suit, white shirt... and then there is the boy who I see clearly, between the drapes, in the picture of the article, from the link that the OP supplied. ..I simply cannot be sure in myself that the 'child' seen between the drapes, is the same person as in the cutout that we see in the third pic that I have posted here... I have enlarged the pics, but I still think you will have to zoom in. Sorry...I have a huge selection of video's and DVD's down in the store room, and someone pointed out to me yesterday that I do actually have 'Three Men And A Baby on Video,' and so when I get time I will view it again. I do not remember when I last watched it, and I definitely do not remember spotting a 'ghost' in it; I was only 11 years old when it was made tho, and bought the video much, much later, so I would have missed all the controversy over it...In the first attachment here the author of it has drawn an arrow, pointing to the drapes on the left of the pic... now, I see absolutely nothing between the drapes there; however, I do see what I believe may be a child at the window, on the right of the pic. What do y'all think?

Oh dear! That's not how attachments turn out in my UM posts! What did I do wrong here Chupa?..I've tried to delete them but don't know how to.

.I'm not sure what you mean by wrong... The order in which they appear?.I'm afraid that's the question to the moderators rather than to me... .But if you want to delete an attachment, there is a drop-down box on the right side of the full reply window, under the main text box, called "manage current attachments"..You should find an option to delete one there. ..Now, on the subject of the boy: upon looking at the pictures, I agree that "the boy" behind the curtain doesn't quite look like the cardboard cutout of Ted Danson. The only strong resemblance is the matching outfit. .The rest doesn't fit that well - the cutout is a size of a real man (or at least appears to be so on the provided picture), and "the boy" is a size of...a boy. .Wouldn't you agree? Besides, the hat is missing, and facial features are much less prominent in the boy's case..Of course it doesn't mean that this is not the same cutout, it might very well be. But the differences make it doubtful...And the picture with the arrow...well, I've got no bloody clue what the author had in mind .I see nothing where the arrow is pointing (unless that's meant to be the black shadow there, but assuming that the shape is of a boy would be a huge overstatement). .I see something in the right-hand window, but again, nothing that I'd assume to be relevant. To me it looks like a reflection of some sort.....Would the staff be perfectly sure that there was no boy wandering around unnoticed? Personally I doubt it... yet I can understand that it's a different thing to oversee the kid "behind the scenes" and to oversee one under the watchful eye of the producer and a dozen cameramen.

this so-called "ghost" was mentioned on www.snopes.com.

.You know what Chupa? My Uncle Tommy is certain that he has cracked it. he thinks that the thing that appears in the right hand window is actually a statue of a Buddha. ..Haven't had time to view my video of the film yet. Been one of those days... lol

.Haha, one could say that... we can run away with numerous possible answers for this reflection, I'm afraid .I'm usually most skeptical when it comes to reflections in windows, as the nature of a glass pane and the ever so variable surroundings make it more than possible for one to see in them everything and anything he wishes for..If I were to judge on what this possibly could be, I'd say that I see the backrest of the chair, and some object behind it, maybe a vase?

[Eternal Light]

Yes, indeed. It could be a vase. In any event, the 'ghost child' is something I simply cannot bring myself to accept, as yet. I wonder if the truth will ever be known regarding this anomally. Who knows.... .

[D.Itamb]

I missed the Friday October 26th episodes of Ghost Whisperer and of Womens Murder Club. Does anyone know where I can watch either of these online or when they will be on tv again. Thanks

There have been some sightings of an old woman in the reading room and in the kids reading section. To know this for sure, I dont know but keep your eyes peeled you never know what you may see.
