I took these digital pictures at Casa Loma in Toronto, ON. It's a castle that was built by Sir Henry (you can goggle details if you so desire). It is rumoured to be haunted. I would just like some opinions/explanations on what might cause such images in my pictures. I have taken many orb pictures some very BIG and bright-one that was actually 'sitting' on my couch as per request but nothing quite like these..esp the blue face like image on the pirate in the wine cellar. I just joined P.I.S.T and we are going to investigate more at Casa Loma so I wanted opinions before I go back there. Thanks

They look like motion blur too me .

Thanx for sharing though

The second two are totally out of focus, and appears to be a shutter problem I believe. The first one, its obvious the man is not moving and its in focus. Very odd that something appears nearly covering the man's face. IS he a medium? JN

No, they had a pirate (actor) there for the kids..he took us for a tour of the castle. After the kids wanted to pose next to him..it looks like a face if you stand back a bit from the screen. The other two pictures are strange because I wasn't moving at all !! Also most pictures at the castle came out blurry for no apparent reason.

I know, if I look at it from more of a distance, we can see his face and another face facing sideways on his face..I am no camera expert, so lets see what the ones who deal in photography have to share..JN

Its quite odd you mentioned that about all the pictures turning out funny in the castle . The same happened to me a couple of years ago . we took the kids over to Disney land in Paris and whilst there we visited an old castle and every single picture we took inside there was badly distorted . not blurry like that more like the kids faces had been stretched . the camera worked fine prior to that visit and all throughout the rest of the holiday and still works fine too this day . I never understood what caused that . i doubt it was paranormal but it struck me as odd at the time .Guess it had something to do with the building . lighting etc but your shots seem like the place was quite bright . I wonder if the first might be a double exposure or something like that . sure looks strange . Sorry cant be anymore help . hopefully someone more knowledgable will show up

i see the face in the last one. could be a ghost wanting some attention, or just your shutter =p either way its pretty cool stuff. didja have fun?

Yeah, the camera never had such issues before that nor after that. Thanks for your input. I'm not convinced these are paranormal or not-but I want to know.

The first one, kneeling guy, looks like he turned his head during exposure, you can see the collar of his shirt is doubled on this right (our left) and his right sleeve (Our left) is blurred on the edge, like the color is overflowing the outline of the shirt. And with the 2nd and 3rd one being blured as they are, I would say it was a long exposure for all three of them. Cute guy though >.>

I didn't have that much fun due to it being spring break and mass amounts of children running around lol. But I'm REALLY looking forward to going back with the P.I.S.T group in April to ONLY investigate and take pictures. If I get anything I will come back and post for sure.

hmmmm. Maybe the blue bandana caused that color when he turned..I don't recall him turning though...he seemed to pose the whole time.

great!!! looking forward to those then :]

Please, what is P.I.S.T.?
