Check out this photo above. You see it? It's a ghost! How in the hell did that get there?!?! WOW! Soooo SCARY! Isn't it awesome???Actually, let me answer that for you... No.
It shows me you'll lie your ass off just to get 5 minutes of fame and you have nothing better to do with your time. No work involved. Just download the application for your smart phone and snap a photo. Fool your friends and family! So much FUN!
For those of you who use this as a joke and such, that's a different story. If anyone can respect a good prank, it's me.
What really burns me up is a few people have submitted photos and asked my opinion on what I think. They actually think that I have not seen the photo they submitted about 10 times in the past and expect me to claim it as real for them. Wasting my time and possibly my credibility I have worked hard on achieving in this field.
Here's an example of what the ghost application does:
Now, there are some people out there that have submitted REAL photos in which I totally support. (... one that still puzzles me is the one from this couple I know that got a fully body apparition at the Shanley Hotel.)
Another thing that gets me is when an established team tries to fool the public with something like that. I've seen this as well. Makes me sad to think they actually try this.
The fact is this, ANYONE can do this type of research and catch good evidence. Just takes the right equipment, safety, time, money, and tad bit of bravery. The main ingredient is being at the right place at the right time. If anything, it's like winning the lottery. It's not rocket science by any means. However, keep in mind it's not for everyone. Sometimes, you can get more than you bargained for.
I know I for one will be glad to see those apps disappear as people get sick of them as well. Until then... say "CHEESE"!
