About the "false" children refugees

Catalan newspaper Ara brings a photo gallery of children refugees' life with the title "Síria, una guerra amb rostre d'infant" (Syria, a war with children's face), which is an interesting title; does it mena that Syria's war is worst for children than other wars? Or is it referring to refugees? Then it is important to remind that during 2015, only 16% of refugees were children.

But one these photos used, as all those photos of refugee children that we see daily, to convince European citizens of accepting all refugees, shows something that skeptics with the official data have been denouncing: one of the photos shows what many claim are false minors/children among the refugees.

The title says "Adnan, 16 years old...

...But Adnan is not the only one that looks like an adult in this children's class.

Wem Town Ghost Identified

There are lots of pictures of (what is supossed to be) ghosts. But when you look carefully at them, almost all (if not all) are fakes (at very different levels of professionality, let's say).

But some of them, independently that we believe or not that what appears in them is a ghost, have something special, maybe weird, maybe it's just what the good photographs have.

This could be the case of the famous photo of the fire of Wem Town Hall (story here). Taken by Tony O'Rahilly on 19th November, 1995 when this building, at Shropshire, was totally destroyed.

Neither the author of any of the of the witnesses recall seeing anybody in the buildig in flames, and specially when the photo was taken.

But here it is, a girl whit a white dress (maybe the "Woman in white" of Wilkie Collins), staring at us with a severe look.




But in May of 2010, a postcard was published from the 1920s, that had been taken in Wem, Shropshire, by M. Audin-Wood. [telegraph.co.uk]

As you can notice, the girl that appears in the down left side of the postcard has a suspicious similarity with the girl standing on the threshold, surrounded by raging flames.
