I recently returned from a trip in Ireland. While dinning in an old coach house in Crawfordsburn, County Down, Northern Ireland, I wanted to get a photo of this beautiful old hotel built in 1614. I got this image on a digital camera, I took a second photo 60 seconds after the first. This image was not visible to the naked eye and did not appear in the second shot.

I have been a professional photographer for over 25 years and have never seen anything like this before. I have tried to duplicate this image with smoke and reflections with no success.

The room it was taken in was windowless, no smoking allowed and only one other party was in the room at the time which you can see across the room in the second picture.

I found another image in another room that I took while waiting to be seated. I have sent these pictures to experts to analyze and no one knows what it could be. I did inquire to the history of the hotel and was told they indeed have a ghost. I am in the process of finding more about this..

Thanks,
