Well obviously they were mistaken and someone was standing there.

I'm sure there was a thread on this before, I remember an in depth discussion about the number on the door.

I think it turned out to be a thermal reflection of the guy holding the thermal camera (I think his name is Grant---I get them confused).

^^ Brilliant! Sounds right to me.

Im not saying I think it is a ghost but wouldnt he recognize himself? That symbol on his arm a patch of some sort, would be on the videographers arm wouldn't it? Im sure they wouldve figured it out...if not then

The symbol on the "ghost's" arm is the "2" on the locker. Apparently the "2" was either hot or reflecting heat, which is why it was showing up so well. I didn't quite get this but there's a good explanation in the TAPS forums. In a nutshell, some metals can reflect heat much like a mirror reflects an image. They also discuss the possibility that the locker absorbed or was reflecting the heat of a soundman or someone standing behind the locker. Taps discussion here. (Most of the good stuff is on page 2)

The video would have been alot easier to figure out if it was just a tad bit longer, shame...

This is something they could test. It would interesting to see if they could get that to happen again on cue.

Even if this is just a reflection it's still very very interesting that the camera can pick up a perfect body form of temp energy. You would think reflected body heat would not show up like this, that it would just be a dispearsed mass.

On the show, they tried to reproduce this and couldn't.

Excuse me, does anyone remember what the thread was called? My searches are turning u p nothing (yes I DO use the search).

^^ That's the problem. You'd just have to do a search for a keyword like 'taps' or something or 'thermal' and narrow it down from that. Also it could have been in the paranormal tv section. That's where things start to get complicated.

Found it http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...c=80156&hl=

Scary!! !

i remember seeing that episode.

if it was real, wouldn't that be all over the media?

Thank you for finding it.

The thing that I found the most interesting is that they wern't able to recreate the phenomena when they went back.....at least it appeared that they couldn't.

hmm interesting...So reflection is just a theory and not a proved one.

I can see where the theory of "reflection" might be plausable, especilly given the similarities between the "image" and Grant that were illustrated in the "debunking", but not being able to reproduce the phenomenon is curious at least...and proof-positive at best, IMO.

Well, in order to reproduce it, the situation would have to be identical, including the body temp of Grant, which may or may not be the same as it was on the original night. As for reflecting body heat, it happened again, I think it was when they were either at the Queen Mary, or one of the hotels they investigated. In this case, it was either Steve who was recording, I think, or Brian. In the reflection his head was cut off because the armoir upon which the reflection was made only went up to his neck, or nose. I had no idea that heat could be reflected like an image in a mirror, but after all, it's just energy, same as light.

But I believe that they caught that and debunked(am I the only person that's starting to mildly dislike that word?) it rather easily, diddn't they.

My problem here is, the Crescent is a well-known haunt, in a tourist-trap town. Eureka Springs is Arkansas' version of Branson and the Crescent has begun catering to "ghost hunters" and those who want a "safe" paranormal experience. Much of its "history" is questionable. I've been there. Not on a "hunt" or anything formal. I've been all over the grounds, to the top floor, and in the restaurant. I experienced nothing. That's not to say nothing is there. It's just that when you have a place where people are actively marketing the paranormal, I think there is room for even more skepticism.

I still find the reflection theory very interesting, why should body heat be reflected as a mirror image of the body right down to the detail of clothes. Also it seems it can't always be reproduced, why? It takes me to thinking about 'conditions' again.

If it's possible that the reflected energy from our bodies can be seen in detailed body form thru the use of a thermal camera then could it link into how ghosts/spirit/residual energies are seen or captured with normal cameras?
