The following is for certain folks, and they know who they are.

Here are the screen caps from the Polar Bear Cave Scene. This is all the
frames from the moment Locke enters the cave until he exits with Eko. The
flashback scenes that broke up the cave sequence are NOT included.
138 frames, captured at one second intervals. Approx 19 MBytes total.
LOSTS03.E03HR-1476.jpg TO LOSTS03.E03HR-1785.jpg (minus flashback caps)
Starting at frame 1720 to about 1728, the objects I mentioned in an
earlier thread can be seen. The eye, the cross, and a couple others. David
these are the frames you asked about.

Yes, the cave is MOST unusual. And your most welcome!
If you have software that can manipulate images (ACDSee or Photoshop or
etc)
try flipping or rotating the images as you play with them. There is a LOT
going on, on the cave walls and ceilings.
BTW, I forgot to mention in the original post.
The caps came from a hi-res episode capture (not mine, but a "release"
group. OK!, a warez group :) using Snag-It screen cap software.
The only modification made to the screen caps was an added logo in the
bottom left corner, done automatically by TechSmith's Snag-It software. I
did not resize or compress the images as I usually do to conserve
bandwidth, so they average around 150 k each.
In other words, I have not messed with the images.

Thanks lostdude and thinbluemime.
An upside-down cross in 1720?
http://www.lostdude.com/lostpics/CaveSequenceS03E03/LOSTS03.E03HR-1720.jpg
Where? In the middle of the photo, near the top?
What photo has the eye?
David Buckna
Against the wall behind Locke, you might have to brighten the photo to see
it, but its very clear to me and shows up at different angles in other
photos as well. 1720-1725. You can even see the smoke from his torch cover a
portion of it as he walks by. If it was lighting that was causing the
effect, then his torch would banish the cross when he walks past it, but it
doesn't so its definitely not a fluke.
Like a wooden cross?
There's an old saying about seeing what you want to see... But when I
go to:
http://www.lostdude.com/lostpics/CaveSequenceS03E03/LOSTS03.E03HR-1724.jpg
and
http://www.lostdude.com/lostpics/CaveSequenceS03E03/LOSTS03.E03HR-1725.jpg
I can "see" what looks like a spooky face ( 2 dark eyes, long nose, big
lips) just above the torch and
and a little to the right. And just above that it looks like the torso
(head, outstretched arms, chest to waist) of the crucified Christ--sort
of in the style of the Shroud of Turin.
Anyone else "see" that?
David Buckna
To the left of the "face", and yes I can make out a face in the stone as
well, in 1724, but you have to brighten the photo to see it as its hidden in
the dark. Once you know the location of the cross in 1724, brighten and look
in the same place in photos 1720-1725 and tell me if you see it in those
photos as well. I don't think I am seeing what I want, it looks distinctly
like a cross.
And thanks again thinbluemine for all the work you did ^_^
I think my imagination is working overtime.
If I go to
http://www.lostdude.com/lostpics/CaveSequenceS03E03/LOSTS03.E03HR-1723.jpg
and look just to the right of the torch I can see some "capital
letters"
______ O E
Anyone else "see" this?
David Buckna
Nope, I see it too *_*
Have you looked at pictures number 1720-1725 after adding some brightness or
are you just saying that because its "far-fetched"?
Depending on where the producers filmed this particular episode, you
may be right :-)
RWG (much of the cave details may be CGI that the producers added in
later)
Yes. I haven't flipped the picture vertically, but that may look like
"30" when the image is upside down.
By the way, the "face" with the long beard was the very first thing I
noticed when I looked at these images. It reminds me very much of the
faces on the tree when Jack was pulling Locke out of the hole as Smokey
tried to drag him down. we called that one the tiki tree:

Wow, that's creepy...I love it. Hmm, that just might be the source of the
whispers is right, but what does that say about Lost Island? I mean are the
trees individual "entities" or is it the Island spirit speaking through
various objects/animals/plants/people?

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned about this scene: that the person
in the Dharma outfit/sack is a child. The fact that Locke found a toy in
the cave as well may point to this also. The screen caps from the links
above (thanks, btw) show a close up of the skull. Some of the front teeth
are missing, possibly indicating a 6-7 year-old child.
Now I certainly don't watch as closely as some of you, so I miss some of the
things going on in the background. But since the mass kidnapping of all the
children early in the show's run, other than Walt I haven't seen any
children at all. Are these kids being used in still unseen experiments or
are they being fed to the bears?

Clan of the Polar Bear?

I am taking time to review these with some breaks between viewings. I
found another hidden pic.
Frame 1722, to the right and above Locke's torch, nearly in the center of
the pic a building, with front columns.

Another, I saw before, but now has become a little clearer.
Same frame, 1722, in front of and a little below Locke, is a ship, with
masts or stacks, no sails up. It's hull reflection in the cave water (?)
made my first viewing unclear.

I checked the site you listed but, can't find the pic?
Thanks David :)
