My friend emailed this photo over to me the other night and wanted my opinion on what I thought was in the image off to the left. The picture was taken at 8:39pm by his dad with a new iPhone 4s. He told me his dad wanted to see how the solar sensor light was working and snapped this photo. He claims that stick like image with what looks to be some kind of smoke coming from the top and also what appears to be something kneeling over behind it near the fence was not there when he took the picture. He could not see either of those two things with his naked eye and claims that nothing was over there. I don't know what it could be as I'm not an expert in photo analysis. I figured I'd post it here and ask you guys/gals what your opinions were.

I never really put much faith in those type of anomalies being paranormal. Could be a reflection off of something such as the lenses, etc. You did mention that your friends Dad was testing the sensor light, so I'm leaning towards that as an explanation.

Im going with the swingball theory too.....looks like the light is coming from the house or swimming pool.

If you get someone to hit the ball out of shot, take the photo with the settings he had...1/16 - iso 800 etc....you will get motion blur, illuminating the string...which you can see on the left side of the photo. (just below the fence line far left side)

The light is clearly visible on the shed...same colour as the string/smoke/ghost/alien/

I'll third the explanation, swingball it is. It's a solid post, with the blurs extending from it.

Duh.

Hoax bin?

I just spoke with my friend again and he says there is no swing ball there, just the fence. Druid42 you shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

Your friend is pulling your leg i think.

Why would you take a picture of the shed in the dark?? Which is at the bottom of the garden, at the rear end of an outdoor pool.

OK, I've downloaded the image, then cropped and enhanced the part which shows something "kneeling" behind the vertical line. There's definitely "something" there... ahhh but what?

I dont think there's enough detail in the image, but If it does indeed show a figure kneeling, then to me the head looks very odd.
Tilted at a strange angle or something?

The vertical line and wispy thing still looks like swingball to me, but I'll happily take the OP at his word.

So, if it's not swingball.... then... what is it?

Wisps of smoke coming from a..... long slim pole/pipe of some sort??

Strange.
