I took this picture with a Canon SD400 on October 15th. We were in Salem for the weekend. One picture I took of a supposedly haunted building has a really freaky spot on it. I won?t tell you what I think it looks like, so I don?t influence your opinion. I tried re-sampling it, but im not that great with Photoshop. Here is the original, a re-sampled copy to see the building, a copy close up, and a copy close up re-sampled. Let me know if you can get anything more distinct out of it. This looks like nothing i have ever seen before.

Those blobs are just dust specks. Just kick some dust in the air by hitting a couch cushion or something, and then take a picture of the room with your digital camera.

It's a very common thing to catch on camera, but a lot of people are still amazed by it. After 9/11, people claimed to see the spirits of the victims rising in pictures of the very dusty remains of the towers...
