"This photo was taken on Sept. 23, 2008 at the Jennie Wade house in Gettysburg, PA," says Patty. "The photo is a reflection in a mirror that hangs in one of the upstairs bedrooms. What I believe is in the photo is an image of a young man sitting on the bed. If you look closely, you can see the wooden bottom rail of the bed and the white area is the quit. However sitting sideways on the edge of the bed is the figure. I have the orginial on the photo chip so proof of ownership and the date can be proved." Illusion or ghost? What do you think?

Absolutely nothing is visible in this image. I downloaded it and tried to lighten it with PhotoShop. As a result, absolutely nothing was still visible in the image. Pareidoia?

I looked at the photo before reading the caption and saw several faces in the area of the side of the quilt. It also looks hazy down there.

I do think we can frequently catch things in mirrors that we can’t see outside them. Don’t have any idea why though.

I see a figure on the left looking towards the camera. He’s sitting.
