False Ghost Pictures: Glass Flash Reflection

Glass Flash Reflection Ghost Pictures Back to Ghost Pictures

It is important to become familiar with how glass can reflect the flash of a camera. The following pictures which
many would think to be a ghost picture, was actually caused by the camera's flash most likely reflecting off of
the glass of the pictures (or maybe the door knob?) on the hallway wall. Kristen of Palatka, Forida was kind
enough to provide these examples.

Above & Below: Notice how the flash reflection on the door (maybe from
the glass on the wall) is roughly in the same place, even with the lady in the
hall.

Below: Kathy Owen of L.I.P.S. created these false orbs through glass
reflection off of a wrist watch...with and without use of the camera's flash:
"Travis and I came up with another way to make false orbs. This is with the
use of his wrist watch. How we got the idea is he likes to take his watch and
reflect sunlight off of it to make a bright circle, for which the cats love to chase
around the room. So I got the idea to have him place this reflection on the
bedroom wall and take a picture to see if it appears like an orb. The first
picture is with the use of flash and the camera set on auto mode. The last
picture is without flash, but also set on auto mode. All this brings to thought
that it's possible for someone to be on an investigation and wearing a wrist
watch. If a flashlight hits it just right, it can project glass reflection orbs."
