In
June, Sheila Sillery-Walsh, a British tourist visiting the historic
island-prison of Alcatraz in San Francisco, claimed that she captured an
image of a ghost in a picture she snapped on her iPhone. In the frame
of what was otherwise supposed to be a picture of an empty prison
cell was a blurry black and white image of a woman. The story, which was
printed in the British tabloid the
Daily Mail, featured on the Bay Area’s local
KRON4 TV station and mocked by
SFist, isn’t the first time the
Daily Mail has claimed that strange
images have come up on smart devices.
Normally,
a paranormal story wouldn’t catch my attention, but a few months before
the story came out, a Spanish friend of mine named Laura showed me a
weird image she found on her phone while I was traveling in Madrid. The
photo, taken on her iPhone while on a trip to Ethiopia, shows a boy
looking down at leaves he is holding in his hands. Seemingly
superimposed onto the boy is another image of the boy, hands in a
different position and eyes looking straight at the camera.
Laura was convinced she captured an image of a ghost.
