Tell me what you think!

After spending the last 20 years photographing reputed haunted sites trying to catch anything paranormal, I was being shown some old photos taken by my girlfriend and I nearly choked on my tea when I saw the attached.

I wont say what I think is in this photo, I'll let you make you mind up. the photo was taken 9 years ago in her back garden and of her cat playing (you can just make the cat out sat on the fake well) in the snow. to add intrigue, the next door neighbour had recently died of cancer and there is a cemetery behind the fence at the bottom of the garden.

Anyway, I have my views of what this photo is showing but tell me what you think!

Happy New Year everyone!

Hi Maffmoose,

Thank you for this pic.

Personally I think, that the mist is breath, especially because it is so close to the camera. It also has the typical pattern to it. With all the snow lying around, it must have been at least -1 degrees.

cheers,

Yes I agree Hella...looks like breath to me too

Completely agree that its breath but look at this link to see what I imediately saw when I looked at the photo. It just illustrates my view that what can look "obviously" like a ghost, can be perfectly natural. I definitely see a face (skull like), and several people I have shown it to also see it immediately.

I wonder how many people would have posted this on a website as a genuine ghost without considering natural possibilities. I see them all the time (photos, not ghosts! ) and they dilute genuine possibilities at an annoying rate!

Thanks for your comments and reinforcing my analysis!

However, you never know!!!!

Hi welcome to the forum. i agree this does look like a breath. but like u said on ur last post you never know lol i personaly think sometimes not allways you got to look a bit deeper we use k2s (emf) (electicaal magnetic field) and we can use it for spirits to play on so we can get yes no answers while we are doing a investigation but cant take it as solid evidence that a ghost is there and we can ask them to affect the temp etc so u create this breath cloud why can a spirit manipulate that ie puting there face in to it. and like orbs ghost can move large objects so they should be able to move a bit of dust. people say yeah thats a bit of dust but is someone effecting it? tbh 99.9% it is dust jsut floating around but who know. sometimes make you think lol

Hi Maffmoose

Thanks for your pic, and i agree with the others , that it is probably breath which is very common at the this time of year , sometimes you dont see it whilst taking the picture its only afterwards that you will notice it .

Anyway thanks again .

I would have to agree with the rest of the team....on this one...learning form pics i've taken and careful but helpful form Barri & ian is not to read to much into pics like this i've been helped to understand that the mind will make you see all sorts of things if you want it to a face is the most common thing we want to see..still matt nice photo..and a good one for maybe trainees to help them understand what photos can be miss leading...still you never know it just maybe the real thing?!?

Thanks for the comments guys. I was also of the opinion, after a few seconds, that it was breath mist.
As mentioned, a human face or shape are the two patterns our brains are programmed to see above all others, we've all heard the phrase "seeing faces in the fire" and we have all seen human shaped shadows in the darkness. I was illustrating that what can be a natural thing can so easily be identified, incorrectly, as supernatural; particularly when you are given facts like a recently deceased next door neighbour and a cemetery just feet from the photographer (all of which are fact btw). How many of s have viewed the majority of purported ghost photographs only to say immediately, "but thats just the ......."

I have another photograph I took of Borley Church a few years back and through some trees you can make out the shape of a brown habited monk or nun...in reality, it is just a twig and branch mass but again the brain sees a human shape and local legend makes me see what I expect to see!

I am still searching for that photographic evidence because, as mentioned in my intro, I do truly believe!

Very well put Matt.

Your example and explanation is exactly what we must all keep in mind.

Thank you for this, you are definitely in the right place and have a good analytical view of ghost hunting.

Thanks Barri

I've been on so many forums where people just say what they think you want to hear. I like what people have said here it shows insight and challenge, I think I will like being here!
