Ghost


Took this photo by the banks of the Schuylkill River in Valley Forge National Park last summer. I snake had just jumped into the river, and I was hoping to catch it on film. Didn't get the photo of the snake, but something else instead...

Honestly don't know who or what he is, in the lower right hand corner. He's dead, obviously, Looks like he's wearing a cap and has long, curly hair; maybe he drowned many years ago. He's looking right into the camera, and he doesn't look too happy...

Lots more detail comes out if you look at the photo in black and white with high contrast. I've been back to the spot a few times, but never noticed or felt anything strange. I tell myself it's just a simulacrum, but I really don't know...spooky!
