nah it's a genuine photo taken on a disposble camera. ive shown it to a couple of mates who are photographers and they think that it's pretty unlikely for all the nessesary conditions to be present that might cause that effect, even if you tried to set it up deliberatly it would be near to impossible.im not sure one way or the other, but i definitly didnt interferre with it, either at the time i took it or later-on using a p.c.Quote:

It's nothing more than the power of suggestion.

Once you see that shape, your brain makes the rest up and you can't see anything else.
Funny stuff. Pictures like these are more proof that ghosts don't exist.
A little more practice taking pictures with your camera and you should know where to stand (lighting etc.) to avoid bad quality picture.My favorite fakes are the ones with the orbs in it. You know the ones where they shake something dusty then take a snap shot....insta ghost.Well I am off to look for mother mary's image in my chips or my pancakes that stuff makes money on e bay, oh wait there she is...she's in my beer....bottoms up.
Maybe it's jesus.
Dude, i think its just that its stained glass behind you.
Dont know if anyones said this
But that light is called an apparation (or something...)
and i think it's meant to be the energy of a spirit
I was really interested in this kind of thing a year ago and did a bit of reading
its....JESUS!
Wow, at first I was confused and thought that light blemish on the screen was the ghost.. But damned if I dont see something or someone standing back there when I looked a second time.
All i see is the light.... i cant see a figure or a face.... im really dissapointed i can't see it lol
Yeah....I dont see it. I see light but thats it. But I don't believe in ghosts. Because to believe in them I suppose you'd have to believe in a after life.
If a ghost wouldn't show up to our eyes, why would it show up on film?
If you think about the way a camera takes photos, it doesn't really make much sense does it?
God/Ja/Jehovah/Allah/Buddah/Extra-terrestrial/Ghost/Spirit/Apparition/Elvis [delete as applicable] works in mysterious ways, my friend.Quote:

An orb which has the strange property unknown to any other object in that it emits light visible to cameras but not to human eyes.
Seriously, how do people believe such weird things? You wouldn't believe how many images there are with lens flares on the Internet that people swear are ghosts. Let me teach you a little something about your camera: sometimes there will be smudges of light on your pictures that do not represent actual objects in front of the camera. There is no way to avoid lens flares in all your pictures; every photographer knows that lenses in certain lighting conditions will reflect light in this annoying way. There's nothing supernatural about it at all.
Plus, ghosts do not exist. Your memories and personality and all that stuff are complex arrangements of neurons firing around in your brain. Once you're dead, that's it, game over. Although I can see the appeal of pretending otherwise, there is no evidence at all that anything in nature will preserve the contents of your brain somehow after you die.
I'm actually glad that ghosts don't exist. Sometimes I like to jack off or take a shit and I don't want to think that my dead grandfather is looking down on me all the time.
Case closed, lol.

The way you wrote that made it appear as fact, but it's not. It's your opinon.
I'm not decided on the matter - and wont be untill i see one in real life or untill i die.
case closed! lol
Of course I can't be absolutely sure that the afterlife, the Tooth Fairy, and leprechauns aren't real. But they are so unlikely that there's really no reason to take them seriously. The Tooth Fairy doesn't exist, leprechauns don't exist, and the afterlife doesn't exist.Quote:

The idea that your consciousness could float around in some non-physical form after the destruction of your brain is, with the amount of evidence we have (none), exactly as plausible as the idea that your digestion will float around in some non-physical form after your intestines die, or the idea that your computer files will float around in some non-physical form after you destroy the computer.
If it weren't for the emotional comfort of pretending you can live forever, nobody would take such nonsense seriously.
I am decided on the matter. Not 100%, but to the same certainty that I believe leprechauns and unicorns and fairies don't exist. If I did see absolute undeniable proof of a ghost, leprechaun, unicorn or fairy, and I could be sure I wasn't hallucinating, I'd have to change my mind, but it would be quite a surprise because these mystical beings are almost certainly not real.Quote:

On a serious note though folks, is anyone here not superstitious yet still believe in ghost?
By superstitious i mean religious and generally believes plausible situations?
Me :)Quote:

It was a high post.
It is supposed to be state that i was including religions in superstition, and i was only asking people who generally believe in plausible situations.
lame attempt at humor maybe, but i trying to colorfully state what your and p@wnish reply does so frankly; one can not be a person of logic and believe in ghosts.
they just a silly, emotionally comforting idea, like Santa for grown people, (those jokes again).
thanks for bringing that error to my attention though, I'll make sure to pay more attention to how i form my thoughts in the future.
WOW thats some entity right there... lol
but seriously, do i see a Menorah and a Christmas Tree????
