What is behind the girl in the pic on the right? Anybody know? I don't see anything interesting in the circled portions of the picture. Just looks like some tourist or another, but I can't figure out what is behind the little girl?

im pretty sure most of this has been explained in this post or somewhere else on the forum but it doesnt hurt to make sure. Orbs- orbs are usually light reflections from the flash or another lught source, also many times are dust particles around the house or location.

And why does the guy in the left front in the right picture look likes he has his face wrapped in bandages?

Just some food for thought here guys.... So the consensus seems to be it can't be a ghost because ghosts aren't solid enough to reflect light because generally we can't see them? What about glass? I AM aware glass is already and irrefutably solid BUT it's typically totally see through as if it's not there, take a picture of it and the light bounces back off it in such a way that it's obvious. Although it's natural to have a presumed idea of the nature of the supernatural I don't think we're in a position to assume all encompassing knowledge about something we don't actually know the origin of....

As a few other people have said, I smell publicity. It's just too convenient.

aye....maybe it's just a ghost that likes having it's picture taken. A poseur.
