About this Photo
Fabian writes, My name is Fabian ***** and i received this photo from my father a long time ago. My dad lives in Tijuana, Mexico where this photo was taken. He, at that time, was an investigator for the Tijuana police department (now a detective for an anti kidnapping squad). What he told me was that a man robbed a local liquor store at gun point(no one was injured). When my dad arrived at the scene he requested to see the surveillance footage of the crime. Apparently one frame from the recording caught his eye. He had asked if anyone else was with the criminal and the shop owners said he was the only one who entered. My dad was able to obtain a copy of what he saw and gave it to me as a gift when my mom took us to visit him. You can see a figure behind the gunman which looks like a grim reaper and a face of what looks like the devil. He told me that the man must be so evil that death follows him wherever he goes. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.  Note* I took a picture with my phone the best way I can. If you guys want a clearer picture I'll try to take a better one if I can OR I can send the original to your HQ as long as I can get your word that I'd get it back in the original condition.

Jim writes, Just a quick question… the other two figures seem to be in front of a black frame? I’m assuming it’s the entrance door, is that right?

Jim writes, Could you scan the photo on a printer/scanner and send me the scanned digital image at full-size?
I wouldn’t want you to have to go through the trouble of sending postal mail. The photo is pretty amazing and I appreciated the summary you furnished as well… very interesting!

Fabian writes, Good morning Jim!  Yes it's the front door of the liquor store. As for scanning the picture, I'll need to go to the library and try it out. We don't have a home computer.

Fabian writes, The library didn't allow me to use their services due to the "violent" nature of the photograph. I had to go to a store that specializes on copying, faxes and scanning. The image they scanned is attached and I hope it's a better size or version of what you asked for. Please let me know if there's any more details or info you need. I've been a fan of your site since i was in middle school. I'm glad to see you guys are still up and running. Can't wait to hear what the community has to say about my dad's picture!

Jim's Comments
A lot going on in this photo... I'll be especially interested in knowing what everyone thinks about it.  



Both pics below are the same pic except for the fact that, Fabian highlighted the second one.

Interesting image... even the guy on the right with the broom looks strange. Jim, do you know if there was a guy with the broom or is he also an anomaly?

[JIMOverSeer]

Fabian mentioned shop owners in his summary so I have to assume it's the other owner, Klainey. .....Looks like the guy was dust mopping.

[KlaineyGStudy]

I hope they caught the robber!

[JIMOverSeer]

Me too!  ......I'll have to ask.  

[MrsFrootloops]

I don't know about you guys, but I see at least 5 or 6 different faces.

Frootloops...did you see the two in the bottom left side of the door? The gray face is freaky!

Yes! It boggles my mind, because to me, that one looks like it might have multiple eyes down the side of it's face... or it has very deep laugh lines, and tiny or no eyes at all.

[JIMOverSeer]

I definitely see laugh lines and a mouth full of teeth, Frootloops. You should see the face after enlarging it!  

And I'm wondering if that's a basketball mannequin behind the door with a tank-top on?

I'm going to ask if Fabian's dad has access to any of the other stills from the video. Apparently, if I understood it correctly, this was the only still with mounds of activity.

[MrsFrootloops]

I am going to attempt to outline all the faces I see. I hope kitty gets on today, I wanna see what she sees.

I hope we can see another still, that would be so interesting.

Wow! Very cool picture!!

The large face looks like a sort of Egyptian appearance to me. Like Tutankhamun




I also see more faces but none of them look friendly! I hope the robber took the evil dudes with him!!

[MrsFrootloops]

Ok you guys, I am trying imgur with these, if you can't see them, let me know.

I did 3 separate pictures because the faces overlap each other, and I didn't want it to look to confusing.

[lorac61469]

I'm wondering HOW they got this photo? Meaning, did they have the ability to print screen shots or are we looking at a photo of a tv/computer screen. If is a photo of a screen then we could be looking at reflections of people in the screen.

[Vlawde]

Looks to me like the door is reflecting things that could cause the illusion of a face. The reflection in the door is the same color orange as the color on the left edge of the photo. Then add the glare and graininess.


There HAS to be a joke in here somewhere, "The Devil, the Grim Reaper and an armed gunman walk into a bar...."

Good job on the faces, Frootloops... it's definitely the faces I was seeing.  
I love the face with all the teeth!

This bad guy appears to have quite a supernatural following.

Thank you

My favorite is the 3rd picture, the skull is floating around all like "Helloooooo WEEE!!!"

I'll ask Fabian about that, Lorac... and I'll invite him to participate.

Here's what I see and the pics inverted and b&w.

It looks to me like this photo was taken from a monitor or a photo,  the image on the left (blue outline) looks like a reflection of someone looking at the monitor.

[JIMOverSeer]

It's interesting to see how everyone is interpreting the faces. It's definitely a mystery!

----------------------------------------------

I asked Fabian if his dad saved any additional stills from the video. And I also asked how the still photo was obtained.

Here's Fabian's answer
"Hi Jim, I'm not sure how he was able to get the actual copy of it, whether from printing it directly from the source or snapping a picture from the screen.
As for more stills, I would need to ask him. I haven't seen or spoken to my dad since middle school (I'm 27 now) but I have family who is still in contact
with him. I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
