i dug up this old photo of me an my ex. the story is, when we first got together, i went to take a picture of him, he told me sometimes when a picture of him is taken, a dagger like light will be around his head, i thought that was the weirdest thing and couldnt understand, but as photos of me an him were taken, sure enough like 1 out of 8 or so photos of him a big light streak would be around his head. no matter what camera , though ive thrown away all photos of him except this one, i kept this because it was the brightest and most clear dagger light. this is a photo of a photo so i apoligize about its quality and will try taken a better one if it wont do.

That is truly bizarre ! Wow...

Did he have psychic abilities or any unusual gifts ?

He seems unaware.

no, he did mention that his dad died, and his dad was into weird rituals and stuff an thinks maybe he sticks around him sometimes , but theres no way of telling. my ex had met someone casually through a friend that had psychic abilitys and that person didnt want to go near him, i had met that person seperately, and he asked me what was wrong and if anything was ailing me i said no, and i got into saying who my boyfriend was and the guy said "ohhhhh, i see now" but he didnt get into specifics why he had that reaction. me and the guy broke up because he had bi-polar issues, he would go into a rage, and he had alot of self pity, i dunno how this all ties in though. he was otherwise a normal guy. and was generally nice and pleasent

That is the strangest thing I have ever seen. Maybe just as well, you broke it off..JN

That is weird. donno what that is. Is it possible to get a reflection like that from a lebray peircing?

I dunno, it just plain freaky!! JN

yes it is totally possible to get that reflection from the labre piercing. and that would be what i think is goign on there. Back when i was a young chick, i had my labre done, and had a picture that looked totally similar (i have no spirits following me, no psychic abilitys, am not sensitive in any way) if i can find the pic i will post it, but i think it is long gone.

thats strange, ive had my lips, and eyebrows pierced an never had anything like that. my new boyfriend has a lebret pierceing and we take so many pictures of each other an never had anything appear around him either

it really depends on the setting on the camera, i only had it happen with a regular analogue SLR camera, the settings had everything to do with the outcome of the photo.

Can you remember what the settings were ? I used SLR's from 1974 till around about 2000, when I went digital, and never saw anything like this. I'm puzzled as to how, what is essentially, a small shiny object can create such an effect.

well the camera i personally was using at the time was a Cannon AE1, it was many years ago that the photo was taken, so i definitely can not recall the speed of the film that was in the camera, though generally 400, can't recall the F-stop, shudder speed or any of that, but it really did happen and hopefully i can find the photo somewhere just to show you, another thing this could be if taken with 35mm film is, a light leak in the developing process, either light could have leaked through the canister or could have leaked through the actual camera, but light leaks often turn out that color as well.

i can't say this is not paranormal, but i can't just jump and call it paranormal either when there are things that this could be.

also just recently a girl in our group was taking a photo with a sony cyber shot (i belive) anyway it was just a regular point and shoot digital camera, and there was LED lantern in the room, and you should see the artifiacts that caused on the picture, the photo is posted on another thread here "real or fake" anyway camera's can be very decieving, especially the way light contamination and reflections can show up. having been both a photographer and worked in photo developing for MANY years when i was younger i saw a lot of things in photos, all completely natural.

Thanks for the detailed reply - it's appreciated. I'm obviously not a professional photographer, just a keen amateur. It's a pity you can't recall the exposure details and conditions under which your photo was taken: I was itching for an excuse to get out my old cameras out and try and recreate the effect for myself.

I did consider light leakage, either through a fault in the camera, exposure of the film by opening the camera back before the film was fully rewound or exposure of the photographic paper in some way. I only ruled it out because twyliteskyz stated that it occurred in approximately 1 in 8 of the shots she took of her boyfriend and the light effect was always in the vicinity of his head. Naturally, you'd expect the fault to occur in random places through accidental exposure.

well im not really saying its a ghost, someone mentioned maybe it was lens flare, and possibly something about this guys head makes lens flare occasionally, he doesnt have any metal plates in his head or anything like that. ill do my best to find any photos of him that i still might have

yeah i would definitely love to see a few pictures, I am definitely not discounting your story in any way, If you could muster up a few more pics that would be amazing!
