According to Charlie's message, "I have your page bookmarked as one of my favorite sites when surfing for the "unexplained" and I refer you to many of my friends. I was visiting with my sister when she said she had something for me to see. She pulled a photo from her wallet and showed me a photo of her grandson. I was instantly awestruck! I view most of your photos with an open mind, but sometimes with tongue-in-cheek.

However, when I saw this photo, I was taken aback. I had a digital camera with me and recorded these images on a dark table top with a picture frame glass over the photo to hold it flat (hence some reflections in the image). They certainly aren't very good, however, I was astounded to note the direct correlation of the white wisps and the baby's hand. I was also taken by the intensity in the center of the wisp towards the baby's hand.

The expression on the baby's face appears to be a grimace. My sister says the baby was actually smiling and in a very cheery mood when the pictures were taken. This was one photo in a series of photos taken in succession. This was the only photo showing any thing out of the ordinary. The baby was laying on a bed covered with a dark green bedspread. I have seen the effects of "light leaks" or photo processing errors that may account for the red flash effect across the bottom of the photo, however, the white wisps are clear, sharp and well defined in the photo. We can't explain it."

Dave's Notes: Disregard the reflection of Charlie in the photo. Focus on the baby and the white ectoplasm cloud extending from the child's outstretched hand!
