Shauna's Ghostlight
This past summer (2008), my friends & I spent a great deal of time in cemeteries after midnight. We would take numerous photographs in hopes of capturing some sort of evidence. This photograph looks very much like numerous similar ones I have seen with one exception. In this cemetery we took approximately 50 photographs and ironically, this was the only one that captured something and it turns out that it was right next to a grave of a dear friend. I knew the friend was buried in this cemetery but was never able to find the grave! On prior occasions I even went to the cemetery office and got directions to no avail! When I reviewed the digital pictures the next day and came across this one, I became very emotional & could not thank my friend enough! The story makes this "common" photograph much more important to me than most people will realize and I'm just happy to share it with you!
