Default Haunted NES system

I brought this System home, and on the first night of playing, about 10 minutes into the game, I began hearing sounds similar to human voices, mumbling to the background music of the television.

Naturally I thought it may have been static or something to that effect, or maybe it somehow interfered with a truck driver's CB Radio System, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

But it continued through-out the entire time I was playing, stop for a minute or two, then start again. It got to the point where I went really close to the TV, I paused the game to try to hear it a little better, but then it would get silent. When I would unpause it, there it would go again.

I know it sounded like there was a conversation going on but I couldn't make out any of the words.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Today was my grandpa's birthday party, and me, Me cousin, and "aunt" and my "uncle" (They arnt my real aunt and uncle, they are my moms step siblings) we all hooked up the NES, and played Mike Tysons Punch Out.


That game is as old as I am, yet it's still amusing.

But yeah, I think this is fake.

What a lame story. Aside from the fact that the seller assumes a haunted NES is more desirable than a standard NES.

Why would his only reason be for cash? He set the auction for 1 penny with no reserve. The reason it's so high is because people want the NES system.

If you read the Q&A, one poster said the haunted NES was reported on several news magazines. I will be taking the photo and altering the highs and lows and contrast to reveal a bit more of the face, because I see some of it too....

Auto Balance

There are times when i'm joking around, but enough is enough Cany.... I did only adjust the current photo, and thats what I got.

Take what you get from that photo... I believe his story.

EVP is a common phenomenon. Even coffee pots can act as receivers for random radio signals and spit out bits and pieces of voices. This guy is definitely trying to cash in on the latest "haunted item" or "i see jesus in my pizza" craze.

Well I can tell you didn't desaturate the picture... because that adjustment is another word for Grayscale...

you adjusted the contrast to the fullest, cuz the red in the color is burnt. Also.... eww that is one ugly person on the system.

Doesn't make sense anyway, what kind of pic is that? The NES is behind glass, it appears. A reflection in the glass, so what? That is if you think it's real.

I think it's just a photoshop job.
