"I have a home that was built around 1886," says Debra, "and there have been hundreds of experiences from apparitions visiting, voices caught on my DVR giving answers to questions, shadows seen, and things moving. I was taking photos one night of my kitchen to enter a sweepstakes for a free remodeling and thought I would take random pictures. In this one I caught a picture of a man. It looks as though there are other people as well, but I can't be sure." See it in the Gallery.
"This was taken a week or two ago [early 2012] in a flat in Oxford, U.K.," says Tom. "It's a friend of mine. Freaked him out when he saw it."
Many ghost researchers refer to anomalies like this in photos as "ecto" or ectoplasm, although that's probably not what it is at all. In some cases this smoky stuff turns out to be just that -- smoke, usually from a cigarette. Other times it might be caused by fog or vapor from a person's breath in chilly weather. Still other times the source or cause isn't so easy to pin down.
There's also the possibility that this is a hoax -- a digital creation or manipulation. Or do you think this is a genuine apparition? Go see it in the Gallery. Then give us your opinion in this poll:
"I'm one of the co-founders of Graveyard Shift Paranormal Society out of Beaumont, Texas," says Kerry. "Here is a picture that one of our members took at a local cemetery at a mausoleum. We are still speechless. We had all walked off except for the lady who took the picture, so there's no way it is a reflection. Plus, the glass was broken on the door."
Take a look at Kerry's very intriguing photo in our Gallery.
This very interesting photo was received from Elizabeth Tolomeo.
"I took this picture of my husband fishing at a very remote lake, Dorothy Dunn, in northern Wisconsin," says Elizabeth. "The lake has no boat launch and no homes are on the lake. We had to hike in to the lake through brush and weeds.
"I took the picture in early 1990s. It wasn't for some time after I had it developed it that I realized it appears that a young girl, possibly wearing a pinafore and bonnet, is off to the right of my husband. Everyone was so intrigued by the photo because there was nobody there. The image is quite clear." Go see it in the Gallery.
