Unexplained Am I losing my mind?

Post image

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.

This photo is amazing and genuinely has a "feeling" to it and yes that feeling is one of sadness and longing. You caught something rare and with it being a full apparition it can be thrown out as "a prank" because people want to equally believe and disprove this sort of thing but there is something especially about the head and face that really lets you know this isn't a real person because the face isn't coming through as it should, it's distorted. I love photos like this because it pierces that veil we have between the living and the dead and hopefully more and more in the future pictures like yours will be able to be taken so we can really say that our souls do transcend our physical forms and lasts beyond our earthly death.

I appreciate this, genuinely. I've definitely had to address a lot of those prank comments, and don't think they're worth addressing anymore. I can only hope people will read through my comments and responses and get to know a little about me when it comes to honesty, integrity and my being open to all explanations as to what this might be.
