Is this a ghost? im not sure what it is?

Question

I just got home from my vacation in Gettsyburg, PA. After reviewing the photos I noticed this http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1513/getimageaspxmkiixdte03ytz1.jpg

I took the photo in the morning with my Kodak EasyShare. I did not have the flash on because the flash on my camera is currently broken.

Answer 1

There is no ghost in the world. It's the imagination of feared human mind. It could be mist or light reflected or smoke or due to the differential capture of light by the camera lens.

cheer up buddy

Answer 2

oh man, it bugs me when people say ghosts don't exist and it's your mind. >:[

it looks like smoke, or possibly a smudge on the lense.

although it could possibly be a ghost.

you gotta keep your options open.

:]

Answer 3

It is a smudge on the lens, most likely. It could also have been an insect flying close to the lens, and thus being out of focus.

One thing is for sure, it cannot be a ghost because ghost do not exist.

Edit: if nobody can prove ghosts exist, then why do you assume they do?

To egalt23 below: the non believers are on this section because &^%# Yahoo decided to put the paranormal stuff in the science section, and that is a bloody nuisance.

Answer 4

Bug.

Answer 5

no, but ghosts/spirits do exist.

i live with a ghost/spirit, she is a young girl that had a mean aunt. she has made contact with me by phone. that call made me a true believer! (more on the phone call at end) so... at first she was mad at me, till i told her i'm not the one who hurt her. i told her i didn't mind if she stayed in my home. i told her i like her being here and she can stay as long as she wants. i told her i didn't know what happened to her, but i wish i knew, and felt sorrow for her. so anyways... i always leave the tv on at night.(most ghosts/spirits like tv) one night i woke up... Wide Awake! (i think she had something to do with that) and went for a drink of water,(usually i just go back to sleep) as i walked past the tv, antiques roadshow was on. i HEARD the guy say "sinister aunt"... when he said "SPINAKER aunt". they were looking at an old painting... of... the girls family! left to right was: her mom, her on the piano, fireplace, baby in bassinet, her brother, and her aunt,sitting at a spinning wheel. the aunt was THE sinister/spinaker, (a spinaker:is one who uses a spinning wheel) the father had long passed. in a split second i think she threw what happened into my thoughts... mom and brother went to town for supplies(town was far in them days) she stayed home ,the aunt watched her and the baby. she was playing the piano. the aunt got mad and said stop. she continued to play a bit more to finish the song. the aunt was so mad she slammed the piano key cover on her little hands crippling them... sorry this next part is a bit graffic... not knowing what to do, or how to explain to her mother, she killed the girl and hid the body, and told the mother she ran away. THIS WHOLE THOUGHT/IMAGE CAME TO ME IN A SPLIT SECOND AS I GLANCED AT THE TV! before i went back to sleep i told her how sorry i felt for her and my heart aches for her. NOW TO THE PHONE CALL! a couple nights later as i went to bed,i told her i wish i knew what her name was. 2:30ish my cellphone rings. i figure it's a wrong number (you know,bar time) THEN... voicemail chimes in. maybe one of my friends needs a ride home.(i don't drink) so i call it (i'm in michigan, my cell has a california area code, 310 for travel) the voicemail is from cali'...310! it's a girl, she said.. high john it's mandy,(my name is john)it's kinda late, (11:30ish in cali) i won't make it over tonight, maybe friday we can get coffee or somthing. call me. bye. Ooo.Kay...so it's just a wrong number? or was it? she was calling john, (my name is john, 310---310) i call her back to tell her she DIALED a wrong number and my name is john, and i have a 310 area code but i'm in michigan, but i'm not HER friend john in cali., and she still needs to call him. GET THIS!!! SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T DIAL! she used her phones contact to call! but it went to MY phone. i called sprint, they said, that can't happen. BUT IT DID! now i know her name is Mandy,.some day soon i'm going to get a piano for her to play. thats what she wants to do. WOWW I JUST GOT A CHILL...BUT PEACEFUL...she must be sitting with me at the computer. i will get the piano soon Mandy :-)

Answer 6

a note on your additional detail "nobody can prove they exist or that they do not", While it is not possible to prove they don't exist, you certainly can prove that they do, it just hasn't been done yet.  You can look all over the world and not find a leprechaun, that doesn't prove they don't exist.  It would be easy to prove they do exist, you just have to show credible evidence for one.  As to the picture, who knows?  Could be anything, I heard a few very reasonable answers and wouldn't immediately jump to a paranormal conclusion.  To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a smudge is just a smudge.

Answer 7

i don't think it's paranormal because it just looks to me that the camera lens was dirty.

Answer 8

I hate when people say ghost don't exist! If they don't, then why are the non-believers in the paranormal phenomena section!!?? I'm am not sure, but my guess would be something with the sun light, or a smudge

Answer 9

Definitely looks like a smudge on the lens .did the next photo have any defect.

Answer 10

Out side bugs show up that way on film.

Answer 11

It's a smudge on the lens, or some lint. No paranormal happening there.

Answer 12

Looks like a smudge on the lens, sorry.

Answer 13

moisture on the lens or in the camera

Answer 14

Appears to be a smudge on your lens. If not that, it could be moisture in the air being captured by your flash or an insect. It could also be smoke.

Answer 15
