'Glitch in the matrix': Internet left shocked after creepy wedding dress photo

It might take a while to see it, but once you do, you'll be left shaken...

Internet left shocked after creepy wedding dress photo

The internet has been sent into a frenzy by ANOTHER viral dress photo - though this time it has to do with a creepy mirror reflection, not the colour. 

Bride-to-be Tessa Coats documented her journey to find the perfect wedding dress online when a bizarre 'glitch in the matrix' occurred.

The creepy dress photo has shocked the internet

During one of her visits to a bridal shop, an employee took a photo of her wearing one of the gowns, so she could see the dress from all angles. 

However, when she looked at the photos afterwards, she noticed a seriously weird detail in one of them.

She explained to her Instagram stories, "I swear on my life, totally real, not photoshopped. I saw it and almost vomited in the street."

Then, she shared the photo.

You might not spot it at first, but if you look closely, you'll see that her arms are in different positions in all three angles. 

As she was posing for the snap, her right arm was raised to her stomach, while her left was by her side. But in the front-on reflection, both her arms are raised and in the side-on one, both of them are down. 

What the hell!?!

After posting the photo to her feed, social media users weighed in. One said, "How is this possible?!?! Magic mirrors."

Another wrote, "What in the Black Mirror is happening?"

"I went to the Apple Store for answers"

She then wrote a few days later, "Lots of messages in support of the dress, thank you, God bless you, but I cannot stress how you couldn’t give me a million dollars to wear this cursed dress."

She later made an explainer video and said that she had "been to the Apple store for answers".

There, she spoke to a staff member who told her he hadn’t seen a case as "scary" as hers, but it did happen from time to time.

He said that essentially an iPhone is "not a camera, it's a computer" meaning when you take photos it takes a burst of images very quickly, even if it's not on burst mode.

The employee explained that the camera would have crossed behind her back and in the 'half a split second' when she crossed her arms, it made a completely different image on the other side. 

"It’s made like an AI decision and it stitched those two photos together," Tessa explained. 

The staff member said it was "a million to one chance."
