I know its a long 30 second exposure so you can keep your comments about that.

1. Picture was taken of a wall with an archway to the right.
2. 6 people where in the room. Nobody walked infront of the camera.
3. Infared and UV light are in use. Both are visible in the picture.
4. Red thin line streaks are from a lazer temp probe.
5. Temp of area is 41.5 F temp in rest of room was 61 F
6. Shadow on the right of the camera (dark area on the wall) is of another investigator.
7. "Face" Looking at the camera is rulled out as it consists of features from both the wall and light.
8. "Face" looking to the left of the camera is odd.
9. Camera is on a short tripod. 48" fully extended. Was fully extended.
10. Camera is pointed slightly downward. 5-10 degrees.

Lets not digress into a discussion about the picture being a long exposure we can rule that in already. Expand from there please.

Looking into comments, specific to the face looking to the left (cutout pic2) but other comments are welcome.

I am a skeptic myself.

It's called matrixing.

Nothing odd about this pic.

I will look that up. Could you please expound on that though?

Here is the explanation of Matrixing. (with link)

Why Does Matrixing Happen?
One explanation is that recognizing other humans, and the faces of parents, is the first skill a baby learns. Pattern recognition of this sort is also a survival tool, giving the earliest humans a way to spot predators in hiding. The skill is so fundamental that, when presented with a random set of patterns the human brain attempts to make sense of what it sees. If it can possibly resolve that random pattern into a familiar object or image, it will.

Does explain why I or anyone else may see a face but..
That still does not explain the light reflection infront of the wall. As nobody walked infront of the camera at the time.
There should be no motion in the camera. I was watching the wall during the shot.

I'm more interested in the Demon face I see on the wall to the right...! (Does anyone else see that one? I love Apophenia )

Aaaannyway, The only distinctive thing I see where you're pointing is an arc that could be a nose. A huge, rather unnervingly narrow proboscis. Who is this Robed Lady you speak of?

It almost is like an image of God or Jesus. I see long hair. Call me crazy..

I also wanted an opinion on my picture. It was taken at the Bayside Shrine in Flushings NY in Sept 2005. They are considered miraculous pictures, but wanted another opinion. We were told the rosary beads upward were answered prayers, and the #8 is for priests that need our prayers.

I have seen many images like this, not just in holy places. I am new to the term matrixing but it's all interesting nonetheless.

Oh its just good old Pareidolia
again folks.
Move along now nothing to see

My goodness! Blurred images of a person pacing and lights swinging! What miracles you have found!

Are you refering to the Demon face picture here: Demon Face Picture

That picture has skeptically been ruled as a light reflection from a UV led mini spot light located on the shelf right below the "Face". Most likely is a Matrixing situation.

The Robed Lady.

Sorry for the non-explanation of that one. The robed lady is a referance to an apperition photographed on at least 1 other occasion in the same area. That photo is not mine and is not posted on the Net. There have been a number of EVP recorded in the area. Also some evidence of objects moving.

I was in the middle of the Old World fair grounds. The Bayside shrine related to Our of Lady of Roses is located 10 minutes from the globe. I went there at 10pm. Not exactly the smartest place to be at night in Queens. There was no light source expect from the globe that was behind me, and the highway. Saying that I used christmas lights is false. It was all dark, not even a street light above me. I did use flash.

Looks to me like alot of motion blur so I cannot make out what you are refering to. Does appear to be some sort of moving light source. The light is yellow and possibly from an electric light emitting device. (light bulb)

I take a lot of long exposure shot in low light to get a better color effect and you can see them by visiting my blog and looking at the albums.

I am well versed in SLR camera's and motion blur.

Hopefully you made it out ok.

Well if you wern't expecting to see light then I would call the picture unexplained.

Since I am analysing the picture from not being there I cannot say what you saw or didn't see.

Though to me the light may look electric the lights towards the top of the picture could be cuased by camera motion. as there is no static portion of the picture (no area showing clear subject)

Just a note if you take low light pictures bring a tripod.

What kind of camera?

Haha, no, I couldn't even see that part of the photo. There's one on the wall... I can't even see it anymore!

reply to post by mweiss


I am not saying that you set this up to be faked, only that it is clearly motion blur of swinging lights and a person. And I definitely never said christmas lights. They may be reflective surfaces.

That face is ruled out as it contains elements of the wall if you look closely.
