Friends terrified after looking at selfie they took together and spotting hidden detail

A group of friends were left shocked and scared after taking a photo during a nature hike in Chile. What started as a fun memory turned into something much creepier when they noticed something strange in the background of the picture. The photo has since gone viral online, sparking a mix of fear and curiosity.

Like many of us, the friends wanted to capture the moment with a group photo. At first glance, the picture looks normal—just six friends smiling and enjoying their day out. But when they looked closer, they spotted something unsettling. Hidden between two of the women in the bottom right corner of the photo, there’s what appears to be a strange, ghostly face smiling back at them.

The friends were sure no one else was with them at the time, so the mysterious face left them feeling uneasy. When they showed the photo to others, everyone was just as shocked. The image quickly spread on social media, gaining over 29,000 views. People in the comments were divided—some were terrified, while others wondered if the photo had been edited as a prank.

One person wrote, “Holy s**t, my stomach dropped,” while another said, “I didn’t see it at first, but when I zoomed in, I almost had a heart attack.

Some compared the face to Regan from the horror movie *The Exorcist*, and others joked, “If that’s not a ghost, they really didn’t want that person on the trip!”

Many found the photo genuinely frightening, with one person calling it “f***ing terrifying—even if it’s fake.” Others enjoyed the mystery, with one commenter saying, “Gotta love when people post pictures with no explanation—it makes my imagination fly.” Another simply described the photo as “spooky,” while someone else insisted, “That is no person. It’s either pareidolia [seeing faces in random patterns] or a ghost.”
