They re released it in 1987 with the cardboard cut out
what about the shot gun in the scene standing on end? That is in the original VHS release, the camera pans over there is a gunthe camera keeps going then it rolls back and later there is a kid.
I remember back in 1987 when it was a big deal they made up a story to try and cover it up and made a new VHS tape because our local store had to send theirs back?
Why would they go through all that trouble for a Ted Danson cut out? -

There's no evidence its' not a ghost so it must be a ghost? With sound logic like that you just might be the dumbest person online. There's no evidence I'm not a unicorn, so I must be one right?
it looks like a boy because a cardboard cutout is SHORTER than a man you idiot.
EVERY person who's worked on the film has confirmed it and the cutout is seen later in the film.

damn right its a cardboard cutout, here it is > http://i41.tinypic.com/99exvo.jpg
here it is again on the floor after the apartment gets turned over by the drug dealers > http://i44.tinypic.com/1z6l52.png
picture of the cutout from later on in the film > http://i41.tinypic.com/23qzyxc.png
i think whats most confusing is that loads of images online are low res and help add to the myth (wikipedia/snopes article for instance) they just make people think it is a ghost when they go on wiki or snopes and see the picture of the "boy".
i believe the picture featured on the wikipedia page does look like a ghost
probably intentional so people would believe it was a ghost>

It may be because it's so far away, but that doesn't look like the same cardboard cutout to me. The face and position look slightly different in my opinion (although it is partially covered by curtains). The tophat also looks smaller. I'm not saying it is a ghost, I'm just saying it looks different than the cutout of Ted.

I remember a story going around about this scene and it was reported that a boy found his father's gun and shot himself in that room. When they filmed the scene he was there 'haunting' the room. I spoke to someone who worked at the movie distributor and they informed me that it was a cardboard cut out and that the story was circulated to sell papers.

This reminds me of the wizard of Oz urban legend and after carefully viewing both films I have to say both of them are false just go on youtube and find some videos it's likely that some person with a lot of time on their hands have posted videos of this "ghost" with zoom editing.

Of course it's not a freaking ghost. In fact, you can see the cardboard cutout in the scene where Ted Danson/Jack is talking to Sylvia, and she tells him she's moving back to London. He walks up to the window, and there's a cutout of him with a top hat on standing right there next to the same window, wearing the same clothes as the supposed ghost boy.
But more importantly, People see an image of a weird boyish figure in a window in a movie and their first thought is "well, that's clearly evidence of the supernatural"?
No. Just no.
