The 8-bit Ghost, My Neighbor

I just consulted FlashEarth in a quick surge of home sickness, and discovered to my great surprise that a giant 8-bit ghost lives a block north of me in Stockholm.


Three possible explanations:

1. NASA mechanic Joe brought his 8-year old son to work, who snuck a sticker onto the lens of the satellite.
   
2. A disgruntled Microsoft employee in the mapping department planted an easter egg in my neighborhood.
   
3. An 8-bit ghost lived on Bastugatan in 1997, with a neighboring 8-bit waterfall living a few doors down from my place.
