So I saw this picture on CAG and I showed my GF and she thought it was real. I said real what? That looks like a fucking muppet. Suffice to say I'm sleeping on the couch, but still I need someone's opinion what is the deal with the picture?

This. It sounds like your girlfriend doesn't know anything about the internet.

There's way too little info provided to come to any conclusion. There is not enough context to make a judgement. You have a photo that shows a person but it could be anyone and you have an anonymous poster telling a pretty vague story with no real background details or proof.
Your girlfriend needs to stop taking everything she sees on the internet at face value.

I actually think that may be a hand. Not sure what's up with the "eyeball," but if you hold your hand in palm up, you can see where the ear (pinky) and cheek would be.

If you hold your left hand with your palm facing you it looks like the alleged face. The "shoulder" is part of the sheets on the bed. The "ear" is the pinky. The Eye is most likely photoshoped or perhaps the camera's strap.

ok after looking at the picture I am convinced that it is a closeup picture of a Norfin doll. My wife collects those and the large ones look a lot like that. Here's one for comparison http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/6/7/1/6/5/5/webimg/312394379_tp.jpg

One in paprticular is a 'grandma' one that I swear is the devil. She has finally let me bury them in the walk in closet, or 'Norfin Village' as she calls it.

Thing is - maybe that is a "real person" in the picture. That doesn't change the fact that the story is total BS. "My friend's cousin". I've never heard that before in an urban legend

The only way to settle this is to find that kid and vigorously press a cross made of cold iron to his forehead. If he screams, that proves the old lady norfin trolls kidnapped him and replaced him with a changeling.

I'll check the Norfin Village when I get home to see if there are any new soft skinned inhabitants

The angles don't seem right, unless the kid sleeps on the wall. And if that's the lady's shoulder then it means her upper torso is parallel to the ceiling while she holds the camera out in front of her.
