My very own ghost picture taken on my cell phone camera

I was just sitting in my hotel room last month, in a brown leather high-backed recliner chair. I saw myself reflected in this TV screen, so I grabbed a couple quick snaps because I thought it would look cool. When I got home and looked at this one, I saw this- me, in a red shirt, sitting in the chair. Odd thing, though- doesn't it look like there's someone standing behind me, looking down at me? You can tell it's behind the chair and to the right of the pic.

[A fuzzy photograph of a monitor]

Pretty cool.

 

Of course, I don't believe for a second it's really a ghost, but what the hell IS it? There was NOTHING behind me when I took the shot. NOTHING.

2. Really, really, sure.

It was a 4th floor room, and I was alone in the room at the time.

6. A shadow that looks like a person with a white face, gray hair, a cloak and a white skirt?

Believe me, I'm open to suggestion.

An aside: other than cropping the pic to center the TV in the frame, there has been NO editing, color tweaking, or Photoshopping of this pic.

9. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!

It looks rather like a dresser and mirror behind you, to me.

The mirror is rectangular which makes sense, and the dresser too.

 

Of course, if you want to believe it's a ghost..........well, who am I to stop you?

10. Is that your hair, with your part on left side of your head,

and a bit of forehead showing above the camera?
It looks like you have on a short-sleeved red blouse, a gold necklace, and dark fingerless gloves on your hands as you hold the camera up to your eyes. I don't know why brown leather recliner reflects gray-blue, though.

Barack Obama: The Ghost of Columbia University
Quote
I am a graduate of Columbia University, Class of 1983. That’s the same class Barack Obama claims to have graduated from. We shared the same exact major- Political Science. We were both Pre Law. It was a small class- about 700 students. The Political Science department was even smaller and closer-knit (maybe 150 students). I thought I knew, or met at least once, (or certainly saw in classes) every fellow Poly Sci classmate in my four years at Columbia.

But not Obama. No one ever met him. Even worse, no one even remembers seeing that unique memorable face. Think about this for a minute. Our classmate is President of the United States. Shouldn’t someone remember him? Or at least claim to remember him?
Quote
There is something wrong with Obama’s story- that much I know. He is either the ghost of Columbia, or the perfect Manchurian candidate. But something smells rotten at Columbia.

I took a picture at the Pensacola Lighthouse once that would have really freaked out a primitive.  I'll have to see if I can find it.

It looks like an LCD screen, and they don't give a reflection like, and how many cell phones have flashes for the cameras?

He caught a glimpse of Obama's conscience.

Initially I was making fun of the primitive, but it just struck me who it was he really saw. 


Can franksolich account for his whereabouts over the past few days?

I think I can make out a blurry  1 3/8" S&K adjustable wrench in that photo.  Does anyone else see it?

You're a primitive. What decent and civilized person DOESN'T look down on you?
