When I was little my French teacher took a trip to a castle in England and took a picture of some stairs and when she got the photo developed it had a strange white misty figure in it. She was right flipped out. But nothing so nuts as that!
I was freaked out too. I've known Keleigh for a while on Livejournal so I know she isn't lying. I might be meeting her soon so I'm going to ask her more about this story. :)
That would be very cool. I love hearing stories about the unusual. I've had many orbs in my photos where there was no extra light but I've never had arms show up where there were no arms before.
I was told that my parents thought we had a ghost in our house. Apparently our dog used to do some pretty strange things and I find the cat will run from a few places in the house but maybe that's just coincidence.
Oh come on! You'll be alright. And if you could also look in the mirror and say "Candyman" three times, that might help you with noticing paranormal activity.
LOL Oh Candyman. I never thought those movies were frightening. I remember my ex and I watched I & II and he thought they were the most frightening things he'd ever seen.
The movies tried to smear the practice... and many people are now afraid of saying Candyman to the mirror. But I promise you that if you follow my suggestions above, you'll get to the root of this strange activity in your house.
I have one. It's been in the basement for years. Maybe I should break it out and see if I can talk to the spirits, although I've seen Witchboard so maybe I'll think twice about doing it on my own.
Not long after my mom died my son fell asleep on the floor at the entrance to our hallway. It was cute, as though he just became so overcome with exhaustion he couldn't make it to his room or even the couch. I couldn't resist: I snapped a photo of him in his long red pj's! (He was about two at the time.) When we got the film developed all the photos from the roll were normal, nothing out of the ordinary, but this photo had a white mist settled just above where my son was lying, as though a cloud was hovering above him - protecting him. We all decided it must be "grandma" and have marveled at the photo ever since. Stranger things have happened, but this digital photo with the arm looks like a double-exposure. The green heart light though, looks very interesting!
Sorry to burst a bubble (perhaps), but there's nothing un-worldly about that picture whatsoever. Both the light is the result of using the flash outside at night, and the arm is because of the long shutter speed needed to produce a photo in the low light (flash doesn't really help outside!), and belongs to the lady on the right of the photo.
It's a cool photo, I've experimented with long shutter-speed photos before. Get someone to dance around and then quickly strike a pose. It looks like they move all "Matrix-ish". =)
That was my original reaction. But for that arm to appear there that clearly with one exposure it would have had to be moved in miliseconds. Either that or someone deliberately fabricated the image with a double exposure, and I know jellyfish is not fabricating it. Even if you tried to make that shot it would have been incredibly difficult to get it that clear with those light conditions. Plus apparently the girl whose head appears in the picture didn't raise her arm for any reason. Everyone was taking pictures at that point.
So if that girl moved her arm while everyone else was taking pictures, which she claims she didn't do and no one saw her doing, and she got it up and down fast enough for the first part of the flash to get it, but no trace of the second part then yeah. It is so incredibly unlikely though.
Of course even more unlikely is that it is the hand of a ghost. =p
if you look closely, you can see the continuation of a shirt down past the arm. find out if the girl was wearing a dark shirt at the time. that should help.
Hmmm, all this romantic imagery attached to potential supernatural phenomena...
I that bet if ghosts did turn out to exist, most of them would be really irritating. Before long it would be Oh no, not the spooky arm again... SOD OFF, I'm trying to watch television!
I think you need to get Bill Murray over to sort this one out.

on 2005-06-20 05:11 pm (UTC)that is a little too perfect, to be an actual ghost.
(just my opinion)
But still, a cool picture, if it is, in fact a ghost!
