Possible ghost picture!!

Ok before we get to the picture, I'll give you a little back ground. The picture was taken at an abandoned T.B. hospital. What happened is that we ran a story in the paper about Patti Starr doing aghost investigation in it.
Patti Star is the President and owner of Ghost Chasers International, Inc., which is based in Lexington, Kentucky. She leads an experienced, accomplished, group of investigators with a goal to prove that life goes on even after death.
MORE...

After hearing that Patti's group got some good EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena). I asked and was granted permission from the city to go into the hospital as well.

We did get some recordings of children talking and playing, but the tape accidentally got erased.

If you want to hear the EVPs that Patti Starr's group got then go to this website:

Now on to the picture.

Yesterday I was looking back through some of the pictures I took, (I took the pictures in October 2002) and I happened to notice what looked like a man standing in the next room of one of the pictures I took.
It could be a lighting trick, or anything... like I said I am not sure what it is. I do know that it looks like a man watching us. I have zoomed in and marked the area in purple.

If you look close you can see his eyes, eyebrows, nose, hair, mustache, collar and shirt. I haven't altered the photo in any way, except to zoom in and to circle where he is standing and crop so that the picture wouldn't be huge.

Like I said it could just be a trick that the light played, but it sure is weird.

P.S. on a side note you could deffinately feel a presence of something or someone there. I am hoping to get a chance to go through it again sometime, with more equipment.

Well here is the picture, you can judge for yourself.

I would love to hear your comments on this.

Well it looks like a man to me, I don't know he doesn't really look dead, But i guess he could be.. Hmmm.. do you have anymore .. it's kinda weird i will say that...

I lost my harddrive . I know that I have the other pictures from the same place on a cd somewhere... I have to start labeling, I have been through about 50 disks so far, only 400 more to go... Luckily I had this one on my server so I didn't lose it.

[isis-999]

LOL..welcome to um..I hope you do find them..I like to see what they look like...

[K_OS]

I will keep looking for them, thank you for the welcome.

Do you know who the guy in the photo is suppose to be and when he was suppose to have died?

I have no idea... I took the picture and I can tell you that he wasn't there when I took it. This was at a closed T.B. Hospital. It is locked up and there were only 2 others and myself in there. I didn't know what to think when I started looking through the pictures and saw him there. It could be a trick of the lights...I guess... It wasn't a reflection as there is no glass there.
P.S. the two women who were with me were standing behind me as the were slightly afraid to go in front. This place has a history of hauntings.

I looked again but i must have missed it, where was the TB hospital located, Just wondering i have ghost shows about TB hospital and how they all have ghost because of the suffering..

The man's face looks a little distorted, a little too long to be a real human face. Assuming this photo isn't faked, though, it's a good pic. Looks far more authentic than some of the other ones on this site.

I am extremely skeptical myself, I am trying to find the CD that I burned all the pictures from, unfortunately they were taken with a digital camera. It wasn't a reflection as there is no glass there. I had thought it may be insulation or something giving the illusion of a person, but it doesn't show up in any of the other pictures. I was at a different angle in them, so I don't really know. As soon as I get time, I will try to get permission to go through the hospital, this time with a film camera. It could be a trick of the light, but it isn't altered. If you want save the pic and open it in photoshop, etc. Blow it up very large, there is no feathering or any other tell tale signs of a fake. Like I said, I don't that it is really a ghost, but I do know that it isn't fake, this is what showed up in my photo.

I'm curious-Why is the photo black and white? In the case of doctored photographs it's much easier to alter a black and white image rather than a color. Not saying you did, just wondering why black and white

The mustache on the "face" of the being looks a bit distorted, too wide for where the mouth should be. Also can't seem to find any ears on him, ears should be alligned with the figure's eyes and there's nothing in that area. There is a small blotch lower down, but thats a bit low for ears to be placed. The lower body of the image is a bit less defined so if you cut out the head in that picture I probably wouldn't even be able to tell it's supposed to be a human.

either thats a log, which it probabally is.... or some man has a reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallly long head

I was working for a newspaper at the time. So I had the upload software set to grayscale. I didn't notice this picture until later, so the flash card in the camera had already been blanked. So unfortunately I don't have a color copy.

well that was stupid
