A mystery?

I couldn't believe my eyes today, can you believe yours?

 

You had @wiseowl Woo visiting you????? Was he checking on your roses?

 

A OWL!!!!

 

Looks like a Ghostly figure of an Owl

 

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.

 

Intriguing, can't wait to see your update

 

if this pic hasn't been retouched, it is freaking spooky ...

 

This picture is completely untouched Java.

 

It's very weird!

 

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?

 

You had us all going there, love Oswald I was even looking up ghostly meanings of a visiting owl

 

pheeew

 

I agree, we get the same things happerning here as we have lots of windows in the house

 

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