Paranormal Photos - False Positives

False Positives

The photos here are not paranormal in
nature. They are examples of "evidence"
that can easily fool the eye if protocols are
not properly followed and a thorough
analysis conducted of data collected. The
descriptions of the circumstances are
labeled below each photo.

Eerie ectoplasm leaking
in through a bedroom
window? Of course not.
Upon closer inspection,
and with the help of a
photo editing program,
an outside light source
was soon found to be the
cause. (see photo to right).

After noticing the strange
light through the LCD
display on the camera, we
snapped another photo in this
direction. After uploading the
photo and editing with the
lighting, this is what we
discovered - the outside light
source; nothing paranormal in
nature.

The three red lights seen here, below
the small rope, caught our attention
immediately, but again, after using a
photo editing program to lighten the
photo, we discovered that a window
existed in the far back corner. At just
the same moment that the investigator
took the shot, a vehicle happened to be
passing by, three stories down, on the
street below. These are the taillights
from that vehicle.

We feel vortices to be very
rare occurrences and
have yet to stumble
upon this type of
phenomena. Although the
camera strap was black in
color, it showed up white
when the photo
was processed; this is
typical.

Again, no vortex. Just a
photo snapped through
dirty, cracked glass.

The spirit across the
lake? No, just a bug
caught in the flash of
the camera.

This effect was created by
readjusting the aperture settings and
moving the digital camera
as the photo was taken. The light
source was that of a small lamp
on the mantel.

The object on the lower right is
nothing more than a storage
container. The two "orb"-like
anomalies on the left are
particles in a spider
web. The web also trails off
to the right.
