Troy Taylor of the Ghosts of the Prairie website at http://www.prairieghosts.com submitted this photo taken by Charles and Teresa Hall, two Team Leaders of the Ghost Research Society of Central Illinois, in their living room on Christmas Eve, 1996. Charles is pictured in the foreground of the photo with his nephew.

This strange array of light above them shows the course taken by the ball of light as it crossed the room in the split second as the shutter of the camera opened and closed. This may be the answer to many of the photographs with swirling white lines. . .balls of light moving faster than the camera's lenses ability to capture them. These speeding balls of light show up on film as arrays of light.
