When I was a kid, the idea that there was a ghost in that film seriously freaked me out.

He forgot to show the first part of that! When the camera tracks into the room for the first time, the cutout looks like a shotgun, so the story was the boy was killed in the house by a shotgun. I'm with sarzy, this freaked me out a bit when I was younger.

Hi there. I hope I can put this to bed for you at last.
My name is Baxter Tyre, I was 12 when 3 Men and a Baby was released and I can tell you that that was NOT a cardboard cut-out behind the net curtains. Neither was it a ghost! I can reveal that it was, in fact, me.
Now I've told this story many, many times and depending on how passionate people are about the myth surrounding this scene, I often find people do not believe me. In fact, I was once slapped across the face by a medium at a convention when she felt my claim was disrespectful to the memory of the boy whose "ghost" she claimed belonged to a Hugo Havern.

Anyway, my father, Jack (aka Jammy), was actually an understudy of one of the films cameramen and between him and my father (who was previously a stuntman but retired after breaking his cocsics on set while filming Sword and The Sorcerer) they sneaked me and by best buddy Xavier on to the sound stage in Toronto.

Anyway I ended up in the scene unwittingly and was super scared that my dad would get fired if anyone found out because that was about the 20th take and the director was getting pretty p***ed. When they discovered thee people behind the movie invented this mischievous little story which was big, via word of mouth, for a while, but EXPLODED when the internet became so massive.

So thats why I'm telling you all now. I know you probably won’t believe me but there it is. I was (and still am-kind of) the boy in the movie that you all love to speculate about.

This may sound like a plug, but I'm putting the finishing touches to a book that explains the whole story. It will be released in 2009.

Well, no, I don't believe you since the video clearly shows the cardboard cut-out.
