What have I caught here in Mexico?

No Ghosts Here

Dear Foristas!
2 days ago I took some pictures to practice nightshots. In one of them appeared something I can´t explain. In reality there was nothing to see. No car, no smoke, nothing moving, no reflexes, no fog ...
I can only give you my word that this is no fake. If someone doubts about that - there´s nothin I can do.

The fist picture is to show you how it looked like a few seconds before the other shot. Nothing unusual:

Now the "thing". You must know: The shadows aren´t the problem. There were two boys who´s shadows we see.
But what is the "thing"?! Do you see that it reflects on the water?

A little bigger to see it better:

The wall behind it can´t reflect anything.
I don´t know, can´t help myself anymore.
Do you have any idea?
If you´d like to read the hole article I published please feel free to visit No Ghosts Here (there´s an English-Translation-Tool).
But please: Don´t think I´m writing this here to make advertisements for my page. It´s serious and to tell the truth I´m a little scared.

Hi No Ghosts, Welcome to the forums.. I've seen that many times. Unfortunately it is not a ghost but light reflection off the water. See this many times at indoor swimming pools.

any type of light hitting the water surface at just the right angle to reflect it onto the wall.

Yes, a reflection from the water-surface is what most people have told me as a possible reason. But I think it must be in the air, because the wall isn´t able to reflect anything because of the material.
Some guys also said smoke or a kind of fog. Hmmm.....

The wall does not reflect anything. The light is reflecting off the water and onto the wall. It would be like if you shined a flashlight into a mirror and saw the light beam on the wall behind you. You are not shining the flashlight at that wall but the light is being reflected off the mirror. In your pictures, the water is acting like the mirror.

It took some searching but I found a pic of a pool with similar reflections on the back wall:

I agree its just the reflection of the water.
