            That's right Eve, Zigs and Jiffy, it may shed new light on the question of ghostly apparitions. :) I'll tell you more about this at a later point but for now I want see what members think in the Photography Forum. :)

                    Meet Oswald my newest addition to the garden. He is what you can see in the photo.

                    I tried to draw a diagram but gave up on that, so will try to explain.

                    My lounge runs front to back of my bungalow with windows at both ends. I glanced into the front garden as I entered and the above caught my eye, my husband being taller couldn't see it. Now, Oswald is sitting in a bed in the back garden so there is no way it could be just a reflection. Taking both windows into consideration it would have meant mirror imaging as well as reflection.

                    Even stranger is the fact that the shrub Oswald is seen in, the hedge to the right and the tatty wall are the only things in my garden. The gate, it's post and in the distance, the lawn and wall are attached to the bungalow on the opposite side of the road to mine.

                    I wonder if this kind of reflective illusion accounts for some of the ghostly apparitions seen on other photographs?

                            Oswald was a present from my children @Apple Blossom. A chainsaw creation. :)
