This is an interesting photo we are evaluating. Here is the story:

This picture was taken by my young son a few months ago. He came running from his room saying he saw a man. I handed him the camara and asked him to take his picture. This is what I got. My son has a buzz cut so his hair is not in the photo. This picture was taken at about sunset. Prior to this picture, he saw the "man" twice before. I have also woke up hearing him talking to another child, he is an only child and I heard the other child.My son has had a speach delay. Alt 3, he could not say any real words yet. After his ghostly conversations, he has amazed everyone who know him. His speech therapist couldn't believe his rapid progress. I have had other contact with the child, but the man worries me. Please loook over the picture. Did my son capture the man and child on film? Both anomalies are on the negative. Thanks, Dawn McDaniel


The Red Shadow photo has been explained by team member Marie Billings. The solution came by NOT putting preconceived notions into her head of what she was expecting to see (a red shadow), and instead having a clear mind to evaluate the photo. Using this method, she immediately saw the shadow is the profile of someone's face viewed slightly from the rear and the right side of the head. The straight, gold colored object are glasses and the subject seems to be a female with brown hair! Definitely not anything paranormal, just an unusual angle to take a picture. Michele's observation is a prime example showing people's expectations and perceptions are paramount in evaluating what at first appears to be something strange, when it is an everyday normal occurrence. Kudos to Marie and she is promoted to Primary Debunker!
