    It's not necessary to personally attack someone for posting an interesting photo and asking for feedback.

    The picture is creepy. I have seen pictures that catch something unusual on the film that was not seen by the naked eye.

    And, ghosts and paranormal events are real. No one has proven that there are not.

    This is a logically fallacious argument: you cannot prove a universal negative.

    Of course, but the point is surely that you try your best to disprove something by imagining all the possible ways in which you could be mistaken. That's how rational enquiry works. Falsification is a fundamental scientific principle.

    So your argument is cyclical.

    i am sorry if this sounds cruel but, i have seen so many photographs like that one and, ALWAYS at some point in time there is a natural explanation for it.
    to this very day, there is no hard or medium evidence whatsoever, that the paranormal (supernatural) exist!

    i have been involved in paranormal research for almost 30 years and, alot, if not most of it, is nothing but lack of critical thinking skills and/or out right deception.
    there is however, something there worthy of research.
    most likely this "stuff" is not supernatural but, it is 'pre-a-natural.' what the term pre-a-natural means is, that most likely this is natural "stuff" but, we just cannot explain it yet.
    we may never be able to explain all of it. yet just because, we can not explain something does not mean it is supernatural.

    just quit your whining about how bad others are treating because, you summited evidence for your claim of the supernatural.
    when i went through my orals of, my masters dissertation, i was put on the hot seat and grilled over but good!
    i had to defend my thesis as it was torn apart point by point.
    did i cry or whine about how badly the mean old professors were treating me? no, i did not! i proved my thesis point by point.
    you summited that photograph as your thesis and, we are questioning it point by point. so defend it.

    Interesting photo. If they are taking photos of the facility I don't know why they chose that spot and that photo to take. I mean, really, that is a horrible picture. It doesn't tell you anything about the room. I'm not going to say it's fake (and I don't have time to read 15 pages), but if I were to make a fake I'd use some crappy picture like that.

    First of all I don't see any possibility of anything other than bodily remains existing after the human being or an animal is dead.

    However, even if the "ghosts" (or any remnant of consciousness after death) existed , don't you ask yourself how and why would it still maintain the features of its' physical appearance? Aren't you talking about a "ghost", something that is out of the body already?
    This is what I always found to be most ironic in "ghost tales", whenever people claimed to have seen "ghosts" they would also describe physical attributes of the dead , and not only that but on top of it artificial , manmade stuff on them such as clothes, make-up and all that.
    Clearly, nothing but the product of human imagination, nothing to do with paranormal phenomena.

    As to pics,in general some patterns on occasion can and do form an associative impression of something that doesn't really exist outside of our own imagination.

    I took a random pic few years ago and after zooming on it could clearly see the forehead and eyes of a person in one fragment of the shot, but i know for sure that it was just a play of light and shadow and my associative imagination at work.

    As to pic of OP, the more real it looks (the more it resembles the full facial and bodily features of the real human being), the more likely it is to be the result of photoshop manipulation.
    Isn't even worth the time of studying it.

    May be OP is just having fun, no judgement here :cheers2: , just my opinion on what these kinds of pics may be.

    I agree that the girl may be a reflection off a picture on that cd sitting on the counter. The reflective disc is in the perfect spot to have that reflection on the window.

    No, the CD is lying almost at right angles to the window, it could not produce a reflection at that angle, and the "ghost" image is much larger than any reflection of the album artwork would be.

    I am not sure what I think of the picture. Unlike so many of the posters, I have an open mind. In fact, I have a number of pictures of orbs inside and around the outside of my house, particularly on/near certain trees. Which I wouldn't waste my time showing here. :)
    At any rate, the way so many people have JUMPED to criticize the OP and want to immediately diss any thought of supernatural/paranormal phenomenon captured on camera - you'd think this was the Science and Technology forum rather than What It Is - the "Weird, Bizarre and Mysterious" forum.

    Open mindedness is not the same thing as the absence of critical thinking. I don't think the name of a forum should have anything to do with the level of thought and analysis we should put into it. The OP was asking for opinions about the validity of an empirical claim. How else can we judge it apart from using analytical and critical thinking skills? Weird, bizarre and mysterious, yes - that's a given. But that means we should try even harder to look for explanations, not throw our brains out of the window in the name of "open mindedness". Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    It's possible to both be open minded and sceptical - in fact it's essential. One without the other rarely works.

    i think it's real.i'm not an expert or even a lay person but i believe in the spirit realm.that's not the reason i believe the photo is real though.i just have the feeling it is.i think the photo captured the terrible event that occured there.

    Why Do you Get Offensive when People Don't Quite Believe it?
