[Note: This post honors the day that is April 1.] I have posted many a picture purporting paranormal parts that are actually just our minds playing tricks on us. But this one really puts us to the test. Or testis. Yes. It's a haunted scrotum. It looks more like a monkey to me than a ghostly face, and there's a vas deferens between them.
