I know its a long 30 second exposure so you can keep your comments about that.

1. Picture was taken of a wall with an archway to the right.
2. 6 people where in the room. Nobody walked infront of the camera.
3. Infared and UV light are in use. Both are visible in the picture.
4. Red thin line streaks are from a lazer temp probe.
5. Temp of area is 41.5 F temp in rest of room was 61 F
6. Shadow on the right of the camera (dark area on the wall) is of another investigator.
7. "Face" Looking at the camera is rulled out as it consists of features from both the wall and light.
8. "Face" looking to the left of the camera is odd.
9. Camera is on a short tripod. 48" fully extended. Was fully extended.
10. Camera is pointed slightly downward. 5-10 degrees.

Lets not digress into a discussion about the picture being a long exposure we can rule that in already. Expand from there please.

Looking into comments, specific to the face looking to the left (cutout pic2) but other comments are welcome.

I am a skeptic myself.

Nothing odd about this pic.

I will look that up. Could you please expound on that though?

Here is the explanation of Matrixing. (with link)

Why Does Matrixing Happen?
One explanation is that recognizing other humans, and the faces of parents, is the first skill a baby learns. Pattern recognition of this sort is also a survival tool, giving the earliest humans a way to spot predators in hiding. The skill is so fundamental that, when presented with a random set of patterns the human brain attempts to make sense of what it sees. If it can possibly resolve that random pattern into a familiar object or image, it will.

Does explain why I or anyone else may see a face but..
That still does not explain the light reflection infront of the wall. As nobody walked infront of the camera at the time.
There should be no motion in the camera. I was watching the wall during the shot.

Aaaannyway, The only distinctive thing I see where you're pointing is an arc that could be a nose. A huge, rather unnervingly narrow proboscis. Who is this Robed Lady you speak of?

Are you refering to the Demon face picture here: Demon Face Picture

That picture has skeptically been ruled as a light reflection from a UV led mini spot light located on the shelf right below the "Face". Most likely is a Matrixing situation.

The Robed Lady.

Sorry for the non-explanation of that one. The robed lady is a referance to an apperition photographed on at least 1 other occasion in the same area. That photo is not mine and is not posted on the Net. There have been a number of EVP recorded in the area. Also some evidence of objects moving.

Haha, no, I couldn't even see that part of the photo. There's one on the wall... I can't even see it anymore!

I am not saying that you set this up to be faked, only that it is clearly motion blur of swinging lights and a person. And I definitely never said christmas lights. They may be reflective surfaces.

That face is ruled out as it contains elements of the wall if you look closely.
