 Posted: Sun Aug 08, 2010 3:32 pm Post subject: Manifestation on Balcony |
 |
|
This picture was taken last year. What you can see is one of our investigators in a white shirt to the left of the balcony, further to the right just above the first flag is the manifestation of a figure. To me the figure looks like they have their arm up to their chin, also he seems to have a Hitler type moustache.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us It is not the brickwork at the back, as numerous pics where taken in the exact spot at around the same time, and none of the other pics shows up this figure. |

| Interesting how out of proportion it is. |

There's also an orb to the bottom left and a scary face in the blond hair of the man to the right.
If I looked at this picture long enough I'd probably find more faces and body shapes. It's just our minds trying to fit recognisable images into the randomness of the photograph.

| I assume you are talking about paradolia, which I do know quite a bit about. This is not paradolia, although as you say if you look hard enough, you will see `faces` etc. In various other parts of the picture. The photograph was taken at the same time, as quite a few other people took the same scene. On no other photos where there the same image, as the one on here. The wall behind was carefully examinded, which being an investigator, we are trained to do a thorough examination of the site.. A footnote to this, is that on our next visit. A similar figure was caught, in fact I would say it was the same figure, although it was further along the mezanine by quite a few feet.. Paranolia? I dont think so. |

You're quite right I'm talking about Paredolia. You've admitted yourself that if you look hard enough you will see faces. Some faces are easily recognised some take a good hard look.
The one you're referring to is fairly easy to recognise but it's probably not a ghost it's your brain making a random pattern into what your beliefs and expectations expect it to be.
The ghost is an artifact of the image capture technology of the camera and the very specific lighting conditions that existed at the moment you took the picture - factors which were unique to your camera, your cameras position and the ambient conditions extant at the very precise moment you pressed the shutter..
This is why no one else captured the same anomaly at the time.
You say that on another occasion a similar figure was captured in roughly the same location - give or take a few feet.
Any chance we could see that as a comparison?
I've been a photographer for 30 years. I've worked in film and digital formats. I've also worked for one of the worlds largest manufacturers of cameras and understand digital image capture from the chip in the camera out to the lens and beyond. I've also investigated hauntings long before 'ghost hunting' became fashionable and on this occasion I'd say - Paradolia - I think so.

| I sense you do not believe that I have seen another picture similar? As you want `The proof` I havent got this in my possession myself, but I will try and get it, so you can see the comparison, I forgot to mention, at the time of the picture, the equipment we used was going beserk, so to me that backs it up even more. I will see what I can do mate. I will get back to you. |

Here is the comparison. Although the figure is not as clear.
