Can anyone explain this picture? (picture link included this time)

this seems scary.
But if you look at it, one possible reason of it is the use of the camera. Maybe you shook while taking the pic, and if you say that some are in great stiff, well, i had one too before. But it is not something like paranormal or something. Well, the pic looks scary when i read your post while watching over the picture.

[Repeating my response here, in the event that the other discussion is deleted]

My considered opinion about the photo is that the shutter was open for longer than the actual flash exposure and that the dog was moving. This can tend to look a little like a double exposure as you can see from the 'double exposure' of dog fur over the red collar (or is it a coat?)

It actually seems to me that the dog was nosing your foot either as you pressed the shutter or (more likely) after the flash went off. Since you took it a while ago, it may be difficult to remember exactly what happened at the time.

I have to agree with owlwings
I have had pictures turn out similarly
I have asked my sister who is a digital photographer and she told me that my shutter speed was not right

It looks like some kind of defect.One thing I'm sure about ghost photos - those ghostly smokes never affect other objects like that.They may cover part of any real object in the photo, or the whole object sometimes, but this..hm.I have a version that MAYBE we have both things here:I mean the defect and the ghost too.I can perfectly see something like long women hair here, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think it is a technical problem. I think it is edited in Photoshop but no idea whats the actual matter.

i think you have to purchase new camera and then click photos.If problem presists then leave you house and purchase new one.I think it is what you think.

Well, to me it looks like some kind of photographic defect, like the shutter got stuck open just for that one photo. It happens, you know.

However, I do believe in the supernatural. I grew up in a house with a spirit. I wasn't the only one who saw it. My entire family saw him and so did neighbors. They reported seeing someone standing at one of our front windows when we knew no one was home and the house hadn't been broken into.

Also, we spoke to this guy through a Ouija board. My sister and I were blindfolded while using the board and our mother read what was being said, so it couldn't have been our subconscious talking through our fingers.

I'm just sorry I never had the foresight to grab the camera and try to get a photo of our semi-unseen housemate!

Hello yes I do think this is some kind of paranormal activity.
They were trying to let you know that they were there that
is for sure. That is pretty scary if you ask me.
If it didn't happen to any picture and only just
that one. I do believe in ghosts and I have seen and heard many.

shot again, but use timer.
drop cam over a console shotting around. (not in your hand) if possible without flash.
Then post photos again

Hi Moon,

If or not ghost and paranormal things exists but this dog's picture looks unnatural there is something there. Ok, as you have cleared that this is taken with a digi camera so the possibility of its getting blurred sometime is ruled out. (Wait I have a Digi Camera and I have taken many photos and sometime they come like this if the object moved just at the very moment of clicking it )

And rest of the things are really strange. Do you still live in that house. I am in dilemma now.

Digital cameras are a funny animal sometimes. I have one and what seems great on my view screen doesn't look so great after I've printed it or uploaded it. The top portion of the picture looks like a light reflection. These aren't always present in the view screen, but come out after it gets on a bigger computer screen or printed. Light can refract off of a flash from the smallest of places or from glass. That is what it looks like to me.

The smokey stuff is unexplainable. Because of your dogs eyes, it looks like he's looking at something.

Yes I do believe there is paranormal activity. I think for the most part we program ourselves to justify what we can't explain for our own peace of mind. Others are hyper sensative to it. Animals are just like they are sensative to weather changes.


Curious if you've ever put a tape recorder around and then listened to it later or when you feel 'not along' in a room just take your camera and click off a few pictures in every corner of the room.
