Where's my baby at?

I also see someone lying at the woman's feet (the left - her right).

I think we've been definitely conditioned to look for Marian apparitions. But it could just as easily be an angel - or a woman in a burka.

I also see a figure at the feet of the standing figure. It looks like the standing figure is looking down at the figure at its feet. The standing figure definitely seems to be holding something, a baby maybe or an animal.

Whatever this is, it's very cool.

I think today's generation think of Ghostbusters when the word ectoplasm is mentioned.

The cheesecloth photos were, but the concept is still robust to some and many feel it has simply been refined on both sides therefore has been replaced by the more tidy "mental mediumship" ...

I think ectoplasm was a fad. I read somewhere and I would love to find it again, but it said there hasn't been an actual reported case of ectoplasm in 50 years.

Clearly they weren't with me after all of that tequila....

not that I have afforded much credence to the majority of breath/smoke ecto photos out there, but this should be considered in retrospection....b

Very interesting that other than those who just try and explain it away, see a religious scene when it could be interpreted as anything.

If Jesus shows up on a potato chip, even if there is a perfectly logical and natural explanation for it, it doesn't mean it is any less miraculous.

I look at it this way. My sister recently was cured of breast cancer. Her cure came about as the result of a course of treatment - chemo and radiation. Just because human beings came up with the treatment and administered it doesn't make it less of a miracle that a cure exists at all. If someone chooses to see it as a miracle and be deeply affected by that, then I think it is a wonderful thing.

My guess - condensation from breathing that took a form that could be easily interpreted as an angel, a Marian apparition or even a ghost. Still a cool picture though.

Very likely but I think the main point of the photo isn't what it actually is as much as what people perceive it to look like. The whole field is based on a person’s perception of what they saw and then we go looking for what they told us. It is all about the person and our perceptions. So is it an apparition or is it a message?

The point being here is not what caused it but what it represents. Just because it is breath or fog or mist doesn't necessarily diminish its importance.

Ok, now that I played that side of the fence I will say that I have no idea of what it is and it is most likely breath or mist. I guess my whole point is that people sometimes miss the point of what they see. They try to explain it away first and settle for the obvious answer.

For me, I am beginning to look elsewhere than science. Why you ask? Probably because in this field I always hear how people are searching for the truth using scientific means. Kind of leaves me wondering how you will get anywhere using scientific means in a field that has no basis in science.

Now I am babbling and my brain hurts... Where's the Tylenol?
