Dust or Ghosts?

[SAS]

I was asked to update a website for a local hotel owner and popped in twice to take some photos. The first time I noticed some odd blurring spots on some of the photos, which I had to edit out. I did not think much about it at first, but on my second trip I noticed more blurring spots. Thinking it was a camera fault / trick of the light I took more photos of the same location.

I've seen a few series of Most Haunted, but am still not sure if I believe in this ghost orb thing. To me it could be just dust or 101 reasons to explain why they appear in photos.

What do you think? Is there an explaination for this blurring / shapes appearing on my photos? Or is it something else...?

Fixed

EDIT: I think its just lens glare from the flash - you can see in the image below that the flash is catching the mirror's edge and reflecting some light back toward the camera, I would imagine the change in position of the dots would be due to slight changes in position of the camera.

Doh! Cheers Dukat (link now fixed).

I've had a look at the full size photo. I agree it could be lens glare, but the positioning of the blurs look random? I thought lens glare would be consistant across a photograph?

You've gotta stop cracking one off over photos, i realise it may be force of habit, but when theyre just of empty rooms, its definately a problem.

to even consider it not be a random optical effect is daft.

Yea, they should be mostly as long as the camera's position is the same I think, although I'm not an expert on photography, however I noticed on the first picture on that page that the angle changes slightly, might be enough to cause the difference in the blurs position.

I suggest contacting Yvette Fielding directly.

The worst that could happen is you end up on UK Living.

Stop putting your coffee cup on your prints before you scan them tbh?

Thats pretty damn bad though tbh!! If I saw the UK living TV van pull up outside my house I'd be gone faster than if it was the devil himself!

Scary people!

On the other hand, seeing SAS in his gas mask on the telly at that hotel saying "TREM HAS ACTUALLY SEXXORED ME IN THIS BED!!1" would be pretty funny

Its dust highlighted by the camera flash. Nothing out of the ordinary.

On exercise once we holed up in an old world war 2 munitions bunker and to keep the OC happy I took some pics of the camp site. It looks like it's snowing indoors with the amount of dust reflecting in the camera flash. If I knew how I'd post one of the pics so you could see yourself.

Dust? Anybody? No? Dust? Anybody? No? Dust? Anyb....

no it's definitely ghost related.

i've seen most haunted!

 

[Tom]

So have I. The stories I could tell you about that show are scarier than the show itself.
