Another story with photo caught with a cell phone!  Any thoughts?

An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself!

It feels a little too perfect.  If the person was just taking a picture, and the ghost appeared in the photo, then why were they taking a picture of an empty wall with some medical equipment on it?  And if they were taking a picture of the medical equipment, why isn't that centered in the photo.  It seems a little too convenient to me that they happened to catch a two-toned image that happened to be standing in front of a unpatterned blank wall thereby making the "catch" easily seen.  I think its in front of the blank wall because whoever created this photo is applying a basic knowledge of photoshop, and not having to contend with making the ghost visibly standout against a more complicated and cluttered background.

But that's just one novice investigator's opinion.   :)

On a related note, I kinda like this... the posting of video clips and photos, and learning how to debunk them, and the kinds of things to look for in false evidence.  Its like a pop-quiz in Paranormal Investigations 101.   :D

Damian, in the article that goes along with this photo, states that the person who took the photo was working in one of the hospital rooms and claimed to have felt a strange energy.  He stepped back and took a photo of where he felt it.  I'm not saying this makes claim to story and photo, but he wasn't just shooting randomly at a blank wall.... well he was, but he had a purpose in mind at the time.

Anytime you have the supposed "apparition" conveniently centered in a picture that otherwise would be something that you wouldn't take a picture of anyway, you have to be suspicious.  And....if I am correct, because of security, privacy, electrical interference, no one who works as a nurse or orderly at a hospital is allowed to carry cell phones -with or without cameras- on their person.

Also, if you look around the "apparition" there appears to be a window with light behind the person in the photo.  Totally suspicious.  This photo has been doctored. (no pun intended)

Agreed.  Not real.  Also, it could possibly be something other than a human figure--a piece of medical equipment, for example--that we're matrixing into a human form.

Could it be a oompa-loompa there for a medical check up? ;D
Really, I think it is an image someone's shadow with extra light sources.
Sounds interesting...Go on.

Did you notice that the top part of the "head" is totally flat?  As if the top of the head is missing?  haha!

If the top of the head is missing, that would explain why this thing is hanging out in the hospital.  I know the wait-time in the ER is long, but this is ridiculous!   ;)

I still say the thing we're assuming is a face is possibly some closeup of an instrument.  Those bumps don't look like facial features; they look like screws, to me, or maybe one of them newfangled massage thingies.
