A normal gif like this would show the cradle barely moving or something of the sort.

Asking the viewer to look closely at the cradle is necessary because the creator's perception of paranormal activity relies on, typically, some very minute change.

However, in this parody, the man in the blanket is very obvious, and very fake.

TL;DR It's a parody.

Or be a ploy to get you to look close and then have a scary face appear.

There is no way in hell I am waiting around to watch a .gif that tells me to look closely. I've crapped my pants way too many times, this is not my first internet.

It's just a guy wrapped in a white bedsheet. Perfectly normal suburban behavior.

I'm pretty sure that was a woman.

I don't see anything at all out of the ordinary in this video.

[–]djplumking 2 points3 points ago

is it their ankle snapping causing them to fall that's suppose to be the funny?

[–]Grizzlyaarons 2 points3 points ago

Watch the crib, it moves slightly! But what is causing it to move? SPOOKY!

[–]inarizushi 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the crib moves because she crashes into it? o_O

[–]erratically_sporadic 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know what you're referring to. You can barely see an outline of something but how do you know it is a she?

[–]inarizushi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wait are you talking about the figure who comes out from the curtains and knocks into the crib? Kind looks like she/it/him is wearing a dress. I still have no idea what you are referring to. The part when the baby/whatever in the crib bounces?

[–]inarizushi 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

ah, trolling. Shoulda guessed.

[–]erratically_sporadic 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

[The .gif is suggesting that you have to watch closely to the crib and curtains, as if something paranormal is about to happen, when in reality, anyone paying the slightest amount of attention to the .gif will, without a doubt, see. Yes there is a figure there, yes everyone can see it. I was not trolling, just simply going along with a bad joke. The bad joke, is now explained, thus, no longer half as funny (which wasn't very funny to begin with) as it was meant to be.]

[–]inarizushi 0 points1 point ago

Bad joke indeed ಠ_ಠ

Who else went straight to the comments after the first watch because they were too lazy to watch it a second time?

[–]Worstskaterever 1 point2 points ago

About to downvote until I realized it was a gif. All makes sense now. Fucking hilarious.

[–]benny98 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why is it funny because its a gif?

[–]destructoroboticon 1 point2 points ago

I was getting legitimately scared until I saw the ghost

Sadly, reddit will downvote this for all the wrong reasons. This is hilarious.

[–]omgl0lz 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I initially downvoted but then I read your comment so I switched my downvote to an upvote out of spite.

[–]InAComaDial999 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I guess I missed the joke. Yes it's an animated gif. What, is the crib empty?

[–]insert_expletive 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I just laughed way to hard at this, like, in tears, people asking me if I was ok to hard...

[–]reelmusik 0 points1 point ago

Look at the lower right hand corner throughout the loop. you can see someone super impose a human head. (resolution of the head is far higher than the rest of the clip.

[–]glutenfree123 0 points1 point ago

I think the crib moved

[–]Pineappable 0 points1 point ago

It's just the flickering of the lights in the room and smudges on the camera lens. Not a ghost. Trust me, I'm an expert.

I love all of the jokesters who actually think there's something to see. Like trying to be part of an inside joke. Just stop.
