 | I know from personal experience that it's exciting to see something that looks paranormal in a picture that I've taken, especially when it was taken on a ghost hunt. Sometimes we're too eager to jump to the conclusion that it really is paranormal, however. We must always strive to be skeptical and objective when reviewing possible evidence. The human eye and brain are easily fooled, so we must be cautious. Having said that, take a look at this week's picture and let us know what you think of it. | |
Smoke Ghost picture
"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. In some cases this smoky stuff turns out to be just that -- smoke. Other times it might be caused by fog or vapor. 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 the poll.

| Reader Report: Husband's voice from beyond
"My husband Steve died on the 3rd of December last year after a long illness," reports Kathy. "He was 58. The morning after his funeral, the phone rang. No one answered, but my husband's voice was left on my answering machine! He just said my name in a raspy voice, like he did when he was ill. It really shook me, and everyone who has listened to it says it is him. The message is still on my machine, and I can't bring myself to delete it." Read more.
| Spookiest Shadow People Encounters
Is it just because they are talked about more and more in paranormal circles, or are people really experiencing encounters with shadow people in increasing numbers? Or have these entities always been around? To be objective, we also have to consider that these experiences might be strictly illusions or psychological disturbances. However, you'd have a hard time convincing the people who offer these stories that what they saw and felt - and what terrified them - wasn't real.
