Among the annals of online creepy photos, one of the most famous is the Cooper Family Falling Body, where a body appears to be hanging or falling beside two oblivious women holding small boys at a dinner table. Who or what is this sinister figure? A spirit haunting the house? The nightmares of the children manifested? A well-constructed hoax? Youtuber Jeffiot (with some help) does a deep dive to uncover the definitive truth.

the tldw: it was an art print made by this guy in 1981, and some other people claimed it was a more recent creepypasta 'shoop.
