People are freaking out over this woman’s creepy selfie – can you work it out?

A photo shared on social media recently has been equally confusing and freaking people out – in the photo the woman is simultaneously looking both at the camera and at the door behind her.

Some suggested it might be the rolling shutter effect, when fast movement can lead to distorted images. Others pointed out that to do this she would have broken her neck.

Obviously many people have called this a fake, while most other responses concentrated on being freaked out and referencing Harry Potter.

@itsthemans Which is an app that deliberately alters pictures. In other words "it's a fake".

So it looks to be a fake. Magic is not real. The world is boring.
