I'm guilty of neglecting this forum, haven't been online that much recently, but was catching up on some of the recent posts and read the thread Kelley posted below. Here's a photo I took about 10 years ago, when I still had the photography business, and the story behind it. I bought a bunch of Polaroid pack film, the old kind that peels apart, at a salvage store for next to nothing and got up one Sunday morning, grabbed a Polaroid camera, a couple of packs of film and several different color filters then rambled around shooting photos with various colored filters to see what effect I could get. I stopped by the old depot, grabbed an amber filter and a #25 red filter and walked down the tracks to get a shot of the old cabooses with the maintenance building in the back ground. I shot with the amber filter first, pulled the film out and stuck it in my pocket, replaced the amber filter with the red filter and took another shot. I dropped both in my pickup seat without peeling them apart. I stopped at a redlight about a half mile away, looked at them and was surprised at the shot through the red filter. The shot with the amber filter was normal except for the yellowish amber tint, you can see what's in the photo shot with the red filter. The purple haze on the right was a cloud of smoke from burning leaves at a house just out of view. I went back and tried to duplicate the photo, took several more shots with no success, went back the next Sunday and tried again but no luck then either.
The scan isn't as clear as the photo but it does sorta look like faces in the upper left corner, with vapor trails going down toward the old caboose. I showed it to a couple of people and a week or so later a lady fundamentalist preacher came to look at it. After she saw it she said it was demons and asked if she could borrow the photo. It was passed around to three or four other fundamentalist churches and I didn't get it back for over a year. Several people who saw it came and talked to me, a few wanted to buy it and all of them swore it was demons. I can see what could be two faces, one looking straight at the camera and one, to the right of that one, with a handlebar mustache sorta looking down but some of those fundamentalist said the could see three very clearly. Some of you may have seen the photo before as I posted it on the Views forum not long after Gary put that forum up. Having taken, processed and printed thousands of photos I'm 99% sure what caused the "demons" to be in the photo. What do y'all think?
