Photo of six friends having selfie together leaves people creeped out after spotting a seventh face

A photo of 'six friends' taking a selfie together in the woods has left people in search for some toilet paper after spotting a seventh face.

Eagle-eyed viewers have spotted the unsettling reality of the image which has been shared on Reddit's r/whenyouseeit thread.

At first glance, the picture in question features six people who are supposedly a 'group of friends in Chile'.

While on a hike, they take a smiley selfie together and the initial thought is, 'Ah isn't that nice?'. They are surrounded by a beautiful-ish, green landscape, with a group of other hikers trailing behind them.

Nice picture, right? (Reddit)

A seventh person hidden?

On further inspection of the seemingly harmless image there are actually seven people in the selfie.

With this one, you have got to be a serious sniper to spot them.

We'll give you a moment, and we apologise in advance.

However, if you can't see anything, here's a clue: take a look at the bottom left of the photo.

There happens to be another person in between the two women on the left. Apologies if you just s**t yourself, but I did sort of warn you about the toilet paper.

Yeah, we're sorry (Reddit)

'I got goosebumps'

After noticing the extra person, social media users were utterly horrified, as one person commented: "I am not exaggerating when I say that when I finally saw it, I got goosebumps and felt genuine fear. What the f**k. I believe in ghosts again now."

Another penned: "My dumba** was looking at the red thing in the bottom left corner. I was like uhhh looks like someone was just cut out the pic… then BOOM, I saw it. Runs to hide under the covers."

Rather, a third person thought: "It's just a person that's also in the group with their face being hidden in shadow by the two around it, and made to look creepy with that intense blue filter.

"You can even see the top of the person's head and hair illuminated normally by the daylight."

Doctored photo? Unlikely

Another Redditor said: "It gave me chills, for sure. Usually I just laugh these things off, or assume the photo is doctored in a way I can’t really detect, but not this time.

"And once you see it, you can’t try to make it be something else, like the way the guy’s jacket is bunched up, or a combination of that and part of the hair from one of the girls.

"Nothing else fits. It’s very clearly something/someone that doesn’t belong there."

That's enough internet for one day.
