I would love to hear your opinion on this. This was taken in Spice Valley Cemetery in Mitchell, Indiana with a Sony Cybershot. I tend to rule out someone's breath because the image doesn't come in from the edge... it appears to be a freestanding mist.

Joscottwade, it is difficult to tell what this might be. Often in pictures like this, such mists, as you said, can be caused by the vapor of a person's breath or cigarette smoke, neither of which seem to be the case here.

Another possibility is that it is a patch of water vapor in the air illuminated by the camera flash (invisible to the naked eye), a faint light reflection on the camera lens, or some other photo anomaly. Of course we can't dismiss the possibility that this somewhat human-shaped form (headless?) is an apparition or some other ghost pheomenon.

What's your opinion, readers? And while you're giving us your thoughts, do you think is it more likely to encounter a ghost in a cemetery than anywhere else? Vote in the poll here.-- S.W.
