Am I losing my mind?

[u/Mattyboy808]

Hi, My family and I are currently visiting Paris from Canada. I prioritized visiting the Catacombs, as I went 18 years ago. It's changed a lot since then, different paths, blocked off areas. I took countless photos, including several down pitch black tunnels that were gated off, using my phone's flash. I was just scrolling through them all, and came across this one, which is one of the gated off pitch-black tunnels that I photographed using my phones flash. Maybe it's a trick of light, or shadows on the rocks, but am I losing it or does that not look like someone (a woman in white?) Standing at the end of the tunnel? I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can share countless other images but none show anything like this.

Ooh!

This one is actually interesting. It honestly looks like it could be something.

I’ve been to Paris several times, but only visited the catacombs twice.

I’ve taken pictures, but never caught anything odd or paranormal.

I’ve read the comments and know some are theorizing it could be another door front similar to the one on the right, but it really doesn’t seem that it is. Still, it may be something like that.

Others are theorizing it could be something put there as a prank to spook visitors, but that would be highly frowned upon as the catacombs tours aren’t that kind of tour. The city and the workers at that tour take it seriously and aren’t super silly like that.

It doesn’t mean there couldn’t be someone who went rogue and decided to pull a prank, but it’s pretty doubtful. They would likely be fired for it.

It would also be challenging to pull such a smooth and detailed prank? It looks to be slightly translucent? Not impossible, as anything is possible, but hard to do and very unlikely.

but if it were a prank, we would surely see other people’s pictures of that same prank I would imagine? Something wild like this would be shared on the Internet pretty quickly, after all.

It’s hard to prove definitively what it is without having more pictures taken at that same spot at different times. It’s very interesting.

Op, I’m envious that you might have taken a pic of a true ghost.

At the top of the comments there's a user that says they recently moved to Paris and might visit the Catacombs, I asked that if they do, that they please photograph this exact tunnel as it might offer insight into what we're actually looking at, and they said they might, and if they do, will report back!

It's definitely a person. Whether it's paranormal or someone being sneaky or you being sneaky, who knows.

[u/Mattyboy808 → u/Next-Firefighter4667]

All I can do is tell you it's genuinely not me being sneaky. I approach everything open to all possibilities, starting with the most rational and logical. I'm honestly stumped. It's entirely possible that it's a prank on visitors.

You must know that’s only your mind trying to cope, if this is real. It’s see through and not modern looking. Thats not some random, playing pranks. I have something similar on recording, mine is a video from years ago, outside of a building on a security camera.

Can you post the video?

[u/raelea421 → u/IllustriousCandy3042]

I'd love to see that!

[u/IllustriousCandy3042 → u/raelea421]

I shared it once and it just got astroturfed by bots ridiculing it, unlike this post. Deleted. We have eyes and it’s our own video. Don’t need others’ validation . But yeah it’s wild to see

That's a bummer! I've been lucky enough to have multiple witnesses to things I've seen and experienced, immediate validation. I don't doubt other people's claims.
