                                                "This picture was taken without anyone knowing an apparition may have been caught on film, seeing as how the shape only appeared in the picture AFTER it was taken. No one was aware of a ghostly presence or strange activity when the photo was snapped. The picture was taken in Kramer, Pa., circa 1977. It has received moderate attention in local newspapers in the past."

                                                I have not seen this one before and although it does look sort of like a person, it is very slender and not at all lifelike.

My guess is that it's a tarpaulin draped over a pole or something and by chance it just looks like a sort of figure.

I agree with Loonboy on this, it does look like a sheet hung on a pole.

I assume those are people on the scaffold?  Those people are about the same hieght as the apparition. Their heads are about the same size too.  If the people are painting a cloth would fit perfect into this picture.  I agree with Loon.

Magikman,

Unfortunately the File Attachments addon isn't yet compatable with the Poll Addon, so we will have to wait for someone to release a patch to include the attachment ability in a poll thread. With any luck someone will achieve this quite quickly, since both addons are very popular.

I agree with everyone here in that the ghost looks more like a sheet draped over a pole or something along those lines.

I'd vote for "Something else" as well.

I think it looks too real. It's too..'real' to be a ghost. But at first site, I was like "WOAH! That's freeeaky!"  :s2 I had to read some replies, and look again.
Yup, too real...know what I mean?  :s6

I agree with most of you here. It could very well be many things.
On the other hand....I personnaly still don`t know what a ghostly image really looks like. Do they have the same bodily features? Or are they disoriented in size and shape? Are they all transparent or mostly Opaque?

Given the fact that I can`t distiguish between a ghost and a blur on a picture yet.... I have to go with Undecided. It`s not like we have anything to truly compare it to.

I honestly can`t wait till we as a race have figured out a little more about these spirits that inhabit our world. These debates would be sooooooo much simpler  :)
I'm here today because of the past, i respect my self and all i have become and there for i do not regret the road i've walked.

                                                  I think its a little too real looking to be a ghost......

cuz most ghosts that r caught in pictures r usually one color, like gray or occasionaly (i've seen a couple) green. AND this pic is kinda beige and some other colors.......... I  think its fake.... thatz only my opinion though......... it might be real.... huh.gif  huh.gif  huh.gif

                                                  I agree with Loonboy, its too slender to resemble a human form. Probably someone with too much spare time and a spare table cloth. mellow.gif                                                  

I jumped in the river, what did i see? Black eyed angels swam with me. A moon full of stars and astral cars, and all the figures I used to see
