The person submitting this image sent the below information......
It you look below the flag off to the right you will see an object coming out of the roof.  The shutter speed on the camera was
1/16000 of a second so this was definitely not a bird.  I could capture the blades of a helicopter in flight at a much lower
shutter speed so that should give you an idea what would cause a blur in the picture.  Hard to explain.  Zoom in and take a
closer look.  No artifact has ever appeared on any of my pictures like that...

Hello,
My name is Turid XX and I'm writing you from my home in
Hosle / Norway. Back in November, a friend of
mine came to help me have some pictures taken for my website. (A website for my cattery). We took loads of
pictures, both previous and after this one, and this is the only picture with "something" on it. If it weren't because
we took so many pictures after this one, I would have thought it was some sort of dust, a hair, etc. had been
accidentally attached to the lens, but all the pictures taken after this one were all fine. I'm aware of the problem
of dust, and little particles getting attached to all types of electronic devices, but how come we didn't see the
same "thing" at the pictures that were taken after this one?

Well - I don't have any answer. (And my cat isn't smoking either.....). Actually,
none of the people present, (my
friend and I) were smoking.

Just wanted to send it to you and hopefully hear your opinion. I've seen your website, so I trust you guys with
this picture. Well - here goes: Another thing: I am very well aware of the fact that it really is HUGE. I'm using it
this way simply because I want to show you the original photo. "The smoke" seems to go in my direction. (You
can see my legs in the background).

My camera is a FUJI FILM FinePix F 30. The picture was taken between noon and 1 p.m. on November 11,
2006.

I'd really appreciate your ideas / input in this picture. I've been mystified by this ever since!

Best Wishes to you all from

Turid XX

Hermosillo, Mexico – 1957

I was a young girl working at night as a telephone operator in Hermosillo, Mexico.  The kind you
called the operator and asked her to dial your number for you.  I didn’t know anything about
spirits.  I was so young.  It was 1957 and I was all alone at night.  As soon as everybody left I
heard a noise.  It got louder, and louder.  I called Maria to come over.  But she wouldn’t come.  I
thought; she just wants to sleep.  Suddenly, the noise became a man screaming like he was being
torn apart.  It kept going all night.  I was so scared.

The next morning I asked Maria about the building.  She looked away and began to tell me about
the man who shot himself in the head.  It happened in the room next to me.  When she told me this
blood started pouring out my mouth and nose.  It wouldn’t stop.  Maria rushed me to the
hospital.  I was so scared.

After that, I was never scared when a spirit came to me.  I don’t know why.  I should be very
afraid, but I’m not.
