Opinions?

For your concideration here is a repost of a pic I took in Moundsville State prison, West Virginia USA.

I figure the "worm" in the upper left corner is spirit energy since this place is known to be haunted. Taken with a Canon Powershot professional digital camera.

What are your opinions?

A great capture. The great thing is that it can't be lens flare, shaky cam etc. It does seem to be spacially distant from the camera and self luminous. I am asked almost daily by somone. "Have you been to Moundsville?" You would think since it's within a few hours of us but no. We may hit it for the upcoming "haunted WV" DVD though.

I would like to go back, The day we went there were way to many kids for any serious investigation. Maybe we could meet up there in the summer.

Sounds great! I think it could be quite productive. I will talk to my cam guy and see if he has any contacts up there, I'm sure he does.

YB, I talked to my cam guy and he said we could prob, make it up there this summer, I will let you know when and if it's scheduled. We are trying to hit some of the lesser known spots in the state but we may be able to squeeze this in.

It will be interesting what your crew will come up with MrX.

Either someone's been messing around in Photoshop, or it's a shaky camera making a light source elongate. The rest of the picture isn't blurry because it's lit by the flash.

No on both counts. This was taken in a haunted prison. The area has no electricity and no light sources but the flashlights on the lower level.
I remember taking this one, there was no one or nothing on the second level to lend a reflection.

Of all the pictures I took, this is the only one that showed up anything out of the ordinary :(

I went over this one with my cam guy as well he said he could duplicate it but only if there were a light source up there. I don't know what to make of it but it is not IMO a hoax.

Like I always say, you never know for sure unless your the one who took the pic
Since I took It, I'm the only one who knows for sure it is real.
