A very fine shot. I agree that the head is too big to be an actual person.

Spent a weekend in rural West Virginia, away from cell phones, news, and life's distractions. Decided to take a ride on the Cass Scenic Moutain Railroad up to Bald Knob. It was supposed to be a 4 hour trip with the opportunity to photograph beautiful fall colors but the weather did not cooperate. It was cold, wet, and foggy. Most of the color was gone and the visibility on Bald Knob was about fifty feet. After the train ride, we drove the backcountry roads to the agritourism farm at which we were staying. Saw this house and decided to take a picture, (actually, many pictures). We had been listening to i-heart radio, 13 days of Halloween so the house and little shed fit right in with the spooky atmosphere. Yes, The little shed really did lean that much. Upon getting home I decided to do a little doodling around with the picture. It was only then I noticed the figure in the window. I didn't see it when I photographed it. Who knows? a present or a former occupant? You may have to download the image to look into the upstairs window.

I love the picture and it isn't unusual to see things like that while driving the back roads. Every year for 8 years during the late 1980's we traveled to WV and rented a home for a week and loved it. My fathers family are from there and I traveled as may back roads as I could and enjoyed every turnoff. Knob Hill was really freezing one late October when we drove up and I had 2 pair of cotton gloves on. We always had a terrific time but the houses we rented became so expensive that we just couldn't afford the cost.
Thanks for the memories, David

Yes-It's great as it is but I'd also like to see it in black and white

Very cool. But it's way past April Fool's Day, that head looks too large compared to the size of the panes of the window.
