Occult.. and spiritual energy..

[Necromanta]

Observe.. I'm to the left.. Now.. observe between the couple and the guy leaning on the bar. Look for a hollow image of a person. His face has a red tint.. and you can kind of see a business coat with an under shirt with black and white "stripes". Do you see the hollow figure? If not, look again. It's a very dim image. I didn't edit this picture.. and I'm seriously kind of freaked out. YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE TO THE NEXT ONE BEHIND THEM. Explanations? Skeptics? Give me some input. Any other creepy pictures you can relate to this? Experiences? Ways to debunk these experiences? Give me some thoughts here.

..though I do in fact believe in the possibilities of spirits & such...but this is probably refracted light from the club lights I have seen similar "shmudges" in pics from clubs.

[Necromanta]

A see through image of a person?

[Rev.Reverence]

Yes...it is (most likely) an image made by reflection/refraction of light...I am near certain.....& I state again...I am not saying it is not a something...but I am not saying it is...as I have seen bad photography from clubs that looks similar...even from pro-photographers...

actually, it's a function of the f-stop setting on the camera - if you look at the lights near the top, you'll see that they're streaks, not single images. the reason you can see some people clearly and not others is ebcause those clear people were moving very little when the photo was taken, and the "hollow" person was moving quickly, which blurred the image.

i use this setting a lot when photographing for my buddy's suspension shows, precisely because it makes these cool effects!

With such an unnatural look that I see with the image's face.. I still am not convinced.

well, remember, it's not a straight-line blur - look at the curly-cue nature of the blurring of the lights, then imagine the same circular-type blurring effect on an eye, or a nose, etc. it definitely won't look natural.

but of course, to each their own - i've seen shit before that i can't explain either, so...

edited to add: also, the guy that's blurred may have spun (like a top) when the pic was taken, which would account for some seriously fucked-up blurring...

not convinced? alright then I will explain.

There is no such thing as "ghosts" they are a fiction, although fun to pretend are real and sometimes make good movies or white-wolf stories, in the really real world they are nonsense.

Here's an odd series of photos, for your consideration..

This one was taken at dusk, on a windy day, with a tripod. I kept cursing the wind, as I wanted to get a good still photo, and the bittersweet nightshade kept bobbing around.

I snapped this picture first, while the wind was still quite strong:

I zoomed in on the plant using only my finger, not moving my hand, or changing the position of the camera, at all. I could see nothing else in the frame through my viewfinder, and I am totally OC about that! Amazingly enough, right when I got to the zoom distance I wanted, the wind stood perfectly still, and I snapped this photo:

What was funny, is I was thinking how it seemed as if an invisible hand was holding the plant stationary. I didn't see this odd white appendage in the photo, until I brought it up on my editing software.

There was NOTHING in front of the lens, or for the flash to bounce off of, nor were there any insects, as it was in the autumn-- and I did not change the position of my hands from that in which I took the first photo.

Maybe the kid with the glasses just has some serious mojo going on!

not that i'm intentionally trying to debunk the existence of ghosts, but does your camera, by any chance, have a strap/handle on it? that white image is almost exactly what i've seen several times in windy conditions, when the strap was blown in front of the lense. you'll notice that it's very blurry (due to it's proximity). it's also likely the reason you never found anything in the area to explain it!

[Necromanta]

Ooh. Creepy. :D

[jynxxxedangel]

Nope..no strap handle on my camera. I had my sleeves pushed up, too. My hair was in a ponytail. There was NOTHING that could have gotten into that frame.

[StormKnight (1)]

OK...question for the camera experts. Does the flash of a camera with autofocus/zoom adjust the flash intensity with lens adjustments that may account for it? the flash bouncing off of the metal part of the casing?

Good question. Never thought about that. Here's what the front of my camera looks like:

How do you know?

At one time I would have agreed with this statement but after the exp's I've had and after my step brother passed away and I witnissed my daughter looking up at (what I thought was nothingness) and she smiled and said hello (not to mention what ever she seen kept her attention for several minutes before she said good bye) I have become a believer in life after death.

Oh and the fact that my daughter (mind you, at age 3 1/2) said she wanted to play upstairs at my dads house and she said - quote "up there where the boy lives." and she had never met my step brother whom passed away when she was 6 months old (the upstairs area was at one time his bedroom, later changed to a play/storage room) with no evidence that it had been his room. And 3 y.o. children don't know how to make up such stories or lies of that type.

If that doesn't make a believer of ya I dunno what to say.

What do you base this opinion on?

[Necromanta]

There's no use trying. I already tried to talk to him. Haha.

[DJ Nocker]

What do you base this opinion on?

What do you base your opinions on that they do exist? Doesnt matter, just like it doesnt matter what I base my opinions of the subject on. Im not going to argue this topic becuase its just as pointless as arguing about pro-life vrs pro-choice or religion vrs evolution, nothing will get solved and people will keep there opinions. If people want to try and scare themselves thinking ghosts are real or feel better thinking they can connect with spirits thats fine.

I think its a a pile of bull crap.
