Because many parents want official images of their family, families frequently take pictures together, hire a photographer, and smile for the camera.

Despite the numerous grins, this is typically a very happy experience.

One family portrait, however, has sent online users over the brink with one particularly disturbing aspect.

Do you recognize it? We don’t blame you; it’s quite easy to overlook. Here’s a hint: look at the left side of the image.

Congratulations if you found it! What an odd thing.

If you haven’t already, take a look at the younger child’s arm. Who exactly has a hand in it?

According to RelayHero, many people have devised hypotheses about the phantom arm.

The first is that the hand is a ghost’s. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, it appears to inspire some form of supernatural belief.

The second option is more feasible. Some believe the middle, older child was added to the picture using a clever computer program and that the arm is genuinely the mother’s.

Take another look, then form your own opinion.

In any event, this is quite odd and creepy. We’re interested in this family and whether they have any answers. Who is the owner of that arm?
