does anyone know what came about that, if itt was ever proven true/false as to what it was? if you look carefully you can see, what looks like, a guy jump out of a tree and start swinging back and forth, as though he was hung from his neck. it is a rumor it is a person who was fired from the whole playwrite and decided to kill himself, while they were filming.

it is kinda hard to catch unless you are looking for it, which is why it even made it in the film i believe. but i don't know if it was ever said to be true/false or what it actually was. anyone know?

I'd like to know if above claim has been proven true or false?
What other claims have you heard? I remember about a rumour that there's a ghost shown in the movie "Omen" (could be a wrong movie, I forgot the detail)

I've heard that one before too but never really hread if it was true. I know the wicked withc of the west was severely burned when her face makeup caught fire or something.

 

[Quixfire]

False, but I'm too slow with the link.

 

[Attrox]

I think it'll be fun if I can get a list of movies with such a rumour and try to see it for myself if the rumour is indeed true

 

[blackdogdeek]

in three men and a baby there's a shot where there's an apparition of a boy who supposedly jumped/fell out of the window.

it is untrue.

go rent 3 men and a baby and see if you can see the "shotgun" and the "ghost" in the background.

What is this movie about? Is this a horror movie? I've never heard of it.
Please elaborate which scene you can see these things (rifle and ghost), so it's easier for me to find it

yes, its a horror movie. any movie that has top billing with ted danson, steve guttenberg, or tom selleck can be legally classified as a horror film. that includes the cinematic verite, getting even with dad

btw, here's some background info on the proved untrue 3 men a baby scene

LOL
Could it be that the scene/background get deleted/fixed to hide this fact? I don't know why you would want to do that though since this kind of things add more values to the movie IMO

We need more movie buffs in this thread

 

[oogabooga]

false apparently, hadn't heard that one though, interesting rumor.

 

[nakedfrog]

I've watched the scene in question, and I can see how it's easy to believe the urban legend. I haven't checked my DVD to see if I can see it there.

I'm sorry, but those cut-outs don't look similar to me..

I saw this back in high school. It as an "old VHS" copy which I don't know if it matters. But there is no way it was a peascock or somthing. You could see the person sawying from side to side. it's was VERY obvious that it was a siluette of a human.

I've seen that ghost. And it's quick shocking to see!

And I believe in ghosts for other reasons...I've seen an image of a transparent person sitting in a chair on a negative but the positive doesn't show anyone.
