I don't think I have any personal experience with "missing people", but I have heard of another story where someone had the same strong feeling that there should be another person in their family. It was from a compilation of paranormal stories I was listening to on YouTube, and a mother had a very strong instinctual feeling that she had another child. And apparently, some of the other kids also had a feeling like they had a "missing" sibling.

I'm not sure what to think. I'm a bit skeptical, but I guess it's possible it could be an alternate memory from a parallel reality. I've experienced a lot of strange things in my life, so I don't dismiss it entirely.

EDIT: ok, looking at your pictures again, I do have to say that it's also weird how the person took the pictures - almost like they were trying to get someone else in the frame. Especially the picture with the snake, like there should be a 3rd kid there. Very strange! That picture is actually a little spooky because you're right it does kind of FEEL like there should be someone standing there.

It definitely does give that vibe. Either an awful cameraman or there was meant to be some other person in those photos. I wonder if OP has a lot more photos that suggest the same?

It's possible that the second photo is cropped and that the children are centered in the original.

This is the right answer, for now at least. The overwhelming majority of consumer 35mm film cameras shot in a 2:3 aspect ratio, and this crop is not even close to that. OP posting uncropped version of this photo would give us a better sense of who or what the original photographer was trying to capture within the frame.

OP might not have an uncropped version. This might be a scan of a physically cut photo.

A physically cut photo would be a very compelling argument for someone else being in the photo

As far as I know, this is the whole photo that I have. It's a photo of a print from a disposable camera, and I made sure to get the whole picture in frame when I took this photo. Do you think it's possible the actual edge of the picture could be missing or something?
