Big Woody pointed this out a week ago, but I guess he's not going to post it, so I will.
SEATTLE -- A picture taken by a 12-year-old Kirkland girl during the holiday week in December surprised her family by capturing a mysterious object.
The girl, her family and her 15-year-old friend were staying at cabins overlooking a river in Winthrop when the incident occurred.At sunset, the girl was experimenting with a new digital camera she had received as a gift.
The girl and her 15-year-old friend took pictures of each other, snow on the trees and snowflakes at night. At one point, they saw an object moving and tried to capture it on camera.
When they saw the picture on the camera's screen -- a mysterious object depicted in the photo, surrounded by darkness -- they ran inside to the cabin. The 12-year-old girl showed the picture to her father, who then passed the image on to KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Gary Horcher.

I think Dad was looking at the pictures and said, "What the hell is that?", after coming across the picture of smoke curling off the roach, the girls had thrown in the weeds. But that's just a guess.

I have a pic on my other puter...it was taken by a friend at a park birthday party....the pic was of his girlfriends face and in the background was clearly their deceased relative.

My first guess is that it's a hoax.

Reminds me of people who see floating dust specks being illuminated by flash photography when they get their pictures back, and thinking they are souls.

I can't believe no one's mentioned our old favorite the Virgin Mary. She pops up everywhere these days, why not in a cloud of smoke.

If Mary smokes, she's probably not a virgin either. Everyone knows smoking is a gateway to all delinquent behavior.

Personally I see the flying spaghetti monster and his noodley appendages consuming the Virgin Mary but that's just me.

WOW - you are so right - I hadn't even thought of it till you said that. Someone should copyright it.
