Thread: Ghostly Images in Laser beam

Tweet

I have always been curious about the paranormal. I work with lasers, design and build laser projectors and special effects. I had a friend living in Prince George, British Columbia in an old farmhouse. He said he never experienced more weird things happen in any other place he ever lived. He was playing with an Argon laser one night (generating a laser line, fan shape) and decided to take a picture by highlighting the laser fan with cigarette smoke. He captured a picture that gave him the creeps. There appears to be 2 faces in the smoke, one of a man in the very forefront and one of a girl further back. Here is a link where you can view the picture and also learn get free instructions on how to make your own laser scanner (possibly a good tool for viewing ghosts).
See picture here of Laser Ghost

My friend Al, swears the picture is not touched up but as it was using a 35 mm camera. Kinda creepy If you ask me. Al and family were relieved to move away from this century old house.

My all time favorite "Image in Smoke" was captured during the fall of the Twin Towers on 9/11. How the "Cat From Napster" ties into that Terrorism Event, I'll never know....

I only see smoke in a laser beam. But outside in the sky today I did see a rabbit hoping over a turtle rolling a donut .

If liquid is dripping, puddling across a light source, how does the image become rated as a ghost?
It reminds me of the guy who said he could point a camera at himself and make it take pictures of what he was thinking about, but had to be alone with the camera...
All kinds of abstract images would show up on the film and people's imaginations filled in the blanks.."Look it's the eiffel tower!"
He was spitting on the lense, that was all it was.

LOL! Somehow that has made my morning....

He used cigerette smoke...so I would say he's just matrixing the smoke. I don't really see anything at all.

I remember something along those lines several years ago with a guy using a VHS camera to capture unusual "images" . Basically the camera was pointed into a TV displaying what the camera saw which was basically nothing and that was recorded. The images were reported to appear upon playback.

Okay, I'm reading this and I looked at the picture... Guys, I'm staring at the smoke that's lit up and I don't see a man, or a girl. I don't see a sail boat. I don't see horse. I don't see mouse. What I see is a picture of smoke that was lit up.

Why do people look at something like this and HAVE to find some kind of ghostly image in it? If there are ghosts and they want to appear, they will. They won't wait until you have a weird impulse to blow smoke into a laser light, so please stop blowing smoke up my @$$.

In any case, doesn't seeing ghostly images in a smoky laser light depend on the angle at which you're looking at it from? What if you're standing from a different angle? If you did see the ghost from this angle, then from another angle you'd have the same opinion as me.... it's just smoke in a laser light. That would be poor haunting from a ghost who's appearing from the wrong angle. You'd think that they'd cover proper angles in smoky laser light in Haunting 101.

And I highly doubt that the picture was doctored because if it was, the person did a crappy job.

By the way Yubney, your comment cracked me up too.
