Back in October, my school had a special all-day trip to Salem Massachussettes. My class had just finished reading The Crucible, so we went to see the history behind the story. We were mainly allowed to do whatever we wanted, but we had several scheduled events like a tour of the House of the Seven Gables. Well, that night we had a tour of famous haunted sites, and one of them was a prison (I forgot the name, but it should be easy to find). Many of us were taking pictures, but I didn't bring a camera so I had to use my phone. At the prison, I did get one strange picture, unfortunately, I don't have the means (or the knowledge) to post the photo, but I'll describe it as best I can. It shows the front of the prison, and a section of the ground covered by cement tiles appears to have a blue light across its surface. The light stops at a perfect 90 degree angle, and while I am no expert, it seems the only way the light could be there is if it was coming from below. I had several theories on the source of this light:

1. Nearby streetlights- The section of the ground is too far away from the street for this to be the cause. Also, the light is blue
2. Headlights- Although the town was busy that night, no cars passed or faced the prison when I took the picture. Also, the street is not visible in the photo and there is no light reflecting off of anything except the tiles. Again, the light is blue
3. Camera problem- Highly possible considering I took the photo with my phone (which has no flash), but the way the light stops seems too perfect to be a camera problem

Some other things about the photo is I was behind a chain-link fence when I took it, which I thought would account for the light's perfect stop, but by looking closely the light stops between the links. Nobody else was taking a photo at the moment. Lastly, it was raining lightly at the time (although there are no reflections of light off the rain. Many of my classmates thought they caught orbs in every photo they took until they learned it was just rain drops haha) I know this is a rather rough description, but if there are any camera experts out there that could present some possibilities, I would be very grateful

Sounds like an interesting photo. Hard to say without seeing it though. You can upload photos by clicking the browse button just under the text area where it says "Attachments", just click browse and find it on the computer, then upload.

Interesting. Have a look at the legend of Giles Corey. Salem prison fellow.

Giles Corey

I can't get it onto a computer from my phone, as I only really have internet access from my school. Also, I looked into the history of the prision. It seems there were a lot of horrible deaths and executions there.
