A picture of ... (what?) submitted to "specialists

[Olivier]

Hello, everyone!!!

Please, have a look at the picture I sent to you.

Look at the shiny thing along the spine of the dog.

Could someone tell me what this is ?

(I hope it will work. Living in the countryside of France, we are fighting for modernisation - with a limited success : now 40 kb/s.).

Its not an orb, maybe people would call it a vortex? I'm thinking it is hair captured in the shot...

Heres the hair effect close to the camera:

Olivier thanks for posting that pic.

I have know idea what the shiny thing can be.

Diebytheflyguythinks it may be a vortex who know?

If it helps Oly and its only my opinion it looks to me that the dog is chomping a cat.

Best wishes

Tam

[Olivier]

Thanks for your help, Tam.

I agree with you concerning the dog and the cat.

A question for Diebytheflyguy :

What do you call a vortex ? If it is explainable in a short sentence...

Olivier

[Diebytheflyguy]

First I should clear up that people who believe in ghosts would call that a vortex. I do not, therefore I say its a strand of hair.

A vortex?

"A vortex is a very strange and mysterious phenomena. They usually take on the appearance of a swirling funnel shape when moving about. They can also appear in pictures as being long and narrow and having a tread like design within their body. They are readily confused with a speeding orb when they slow down and take on this straight & narrow look. It's not presently known if a vortex has ever been captured on video tape. It should be noted that they are often felt as a cold spot."

And to clear it up with pictures:

A "votex," looks like this:

An "orb," looks like this:

An "ectoplasm/ecto-mist/ecto-vapour," looks like this:

An "ecto-swirl," looks like this:

Thanks, Diebytheflyguy,

your explainations are clear and useful (and with pics to illustrate!)

I can see on the picture of a vortex that it's got a shadow : so, it ca be seen with the eyes - I mean, without necessarilly a camera ?

What could be seen on the dog was not seeable in reality, without the use of the camera. If useful, I remind you that the animals playing together were the reason of the picture : the shiny thing was an "accident" seen afterwards on the computer.

Yep, I thought the same thing about the dog and cat. The dog seems to be having "lunch."

Nonetheless, I have seen these sorts of pics often, (with strange lights and things appearing in them, etc.,) as have many other ppl in this forum.

The one thing that strikes me as odd is that animals are normally keenly aware of supernatural entities in their vicinity.

Perhaps the dog is to busy "eating" and the cat is too busy being "eaten" to notice, but both seem to be oblivious to the light. Therefore I would say that this is probably some type of natural photographic artifact, like as Diebytheflyguy suggested, a hair caught in the photo.

That's my take on this, for whatever it's worth. Cute dog and cat though, thanks for sharing the snap.

[Olivier]

Thanks everyone.

I thought as you, David concerning the awareness of animals when confronted with supranatural entities.

What was striking, "frightening", was the impression that the thing had caught, seized the spine of the dog.

After I thought of it, and after I read Dieby...... 's message, I really agree concerning the hypothesis oh the hair.

Indeed, a cat's hair (especially hairs located in the inside of the fur) can be zigzagging like the shape on the picture.

Thank you all

Olivier

[autopsies]

To me, it only seems Photoshoped...It doesn't exactly look like a /real/ vortex....

Just a thought though.

[Olivier]

Hello,

The picture has not been submitted to any artificial change.

Anyway, the idea of a vortex has been abandonned for the idea of a cat's hair.

[Insight]

If this is evidence of the supernatural I'll cut off my own head and eat it. I have to subscribe to the hair theory, or perhaps the photoshop theory.

Ther hair one seems best though.

[Olivier]

Hello,

Once again, this picture was not photoshopped !!! It's been given to me by my (worried) step-sister. We even don't have the Photoshop program.

Knowing nothing in that field, I merely suggested this picture to those who master this domain better than I do.

Moreover, considering the number of animals who live in our houses, the hair theory seems a satisfying one.

i agree with diewiththeflyguy he is obviously made it clear that the flash has made the amino acids on the hair reflect the light to make it look like a vortex. the hair cud have came from the dog itself or yourself.

pretty interesting information you got, but that vorex pic you posted looks fake, because it has a shadow. it looks more like a wire of some sort.

[MK ULTRA]

Interesting,cheers chaps!

The vortex and the hair look quite similar? The shadow on the vortex is kinda weird too!

I hope your cat still has its head!

Hello,

The cat still has its head.

It only wishes to play again and again with the dog.

Thanks everyone for the time spent on this topic, and for the enlightenment they gave.
