It looks like the floor directly below is a balcony but that particular floor is a flush window. Perhaps a duplex?

It makes me feel distinctly nauseous looking at that photo. Shudder...

Me too, and I'm not even pregnant. The adrenalin kicks straight in each time I look, feet going cold... Must've died falling from a great height in a previous life.

Now that's a theory i haven't heard. I've read about inherited memory before and how phobias could be related to the reptile brain and when we were more obviously prey (fear of spiders/ snakes/ sharks etc).

Speaking to someone about reincarnation the other day and she said we have chosen our parents in this life and, with my mother, that made me run cold!

but there is an outdoor light thing to the left of him inside the balcony... unless that is a clock and the person on the floor below has magically put a clock in exactly the same place... although I don't get the flush window thing that he is right in front of.

I give up. It's bad and he shouldn't be cleaning the windows like that on the 42nd floor...where is the maid?

In regards to reincarnation, you apparently are linked to several people throughout your lives and you also come back as the same sex in each life.

I think its photoshopped to be fair as smartypants Millhosue has pointed out there are quite a lot of tell-tell signs- none of his neighbours- nextdoor or above or below have a window right on the edge
