Hey Guys,

Take a look at these pictures and let me know what you think. The attic was completely dark when the camera flashed. It was around 20 degrees outside when the pic was taken. The story is the owner of the house had some strange things happening so they called in a paranormal team to investigate. This picture has got them stumped.

before



What do you think?

Took some figuring and a running it through a few different programs, however, nothing paranormal that I can ascertain. The flash that was fired and the modes in which the photo's were taken, the second being portrait mode which causes the flash to function at a lesser level so as to not wash out the subject. The photos were taken from slightly different perspectives as well. If you look to the left f the photo you'll notice a galvanized pipe, presumably for heating exhaust or something like that. Lining up the diffusion pattern of the "apparition with the flash bounce off of the galvanized pipe, combine those factors with VERY fine blown insulation dust and presto. One ghostly apparition. When I get a little more time I'll post the reworked photos indicating the vectors and trajectories along with the exif data ripped from the photos.

I can see how it may lead to some speculation though.

Side note - the first photo in the series (which is actually the "after" photo) has been photo edited using an application called GIMP,(GNU Image Manipulation Program) a freeware photo editing tool. All exif data has been stripped from the photo which leads to another set of questions.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I just had no way of prooving it.

But now if you zoom in 10 times, stand on your head and close 1 eye, you can see 15 faces.

Damn missed those, I forgot to close one eye though.

Good work Dave! Your explanation is incredible.

I see an old indian women nursing a baby wolf the was shot by a cowboy. Thanks for the pills Dave.
