The Mystery is Gone

A few months ago I recieved an email with this picture:It sent chills down my spine. It came with a little story about a son who took this picture of his parents and then swam to the surface with his parents following behind. He told his parents what he saw and they didn't believe him until they saw the picture. This picture creeped me out, it made me want to cry. I deleted it pretty quickly after I recieved it, but curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to see it again. So I got online and did a search for it. I found it at a website called Snopes.com, which sucked the life right out of the picture. Snopes is a website that tells you if an urban legend is true, false, some truth, or undetermined, and gives an explaination. This particular picture is listed under the catagory "fauxtography" and is FALSE. Now whenever I get a forward with a story or a picture that seems a little far fetched, I have to check it out. Like the one I got this morning about an Antarctic Wave.


Here a few more:

Fat Cat? True or false?

Liger? Real or Not?

Dr. Ruth was an Isreali Sniper? Fact or Crazy talk? Happy Friday!!!!!

Aww that is why I don't go very far into the ocean, sharks scare the poop out of me. I check the facts of emails I get too - especially the weird or too good to be true ones, I did one just the other day, about a groom exposing is cheating wife at their wedding by taping a picture of her cheating on him under the chairs at their reception . . . it even said, this is true it was on Jay Leno . . .not so much! Interesting on Dr Ruth. . . Napoleon Dynamite brought the liger to life and the house cat just looks wrong. . .
