Finally the proof that ghosts exist?

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's what I get for having an academic on my friends' list. :)

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

Regardless it's a cool picture.

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.
