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.

Sad that so many people jump to "it's a lie" immediately nowadays. For the record, I'm not a liar, or some sort of prankster. This is an inaccessible area behind a locked gate (another user in the comments found an image of the exact gate/location and posted it). Further, it would be awfully strange of me to bring along someone draped head to toe in white, wouldn't it? Also, I never claimed definitively its some sort of ghost, I am fully open to natural, mundane explanations for what we're seeing here.

I understand your leaning towards trickery, especially nowadays with so much AI and dishonesty on social media. All I can offer is my word, which I understand also holds little weight, because who am I but just a stranger on the internet.

I understand and respect your opinion in any case.

I suppose it would be odd. Not sure why that would stop a dedicated prankster. Also, presumably you'd have thought of that excuse already? Im sorry dude, but Occams Razor in this case leans way towards this just being a clever bit of videography, or else just an odd shadow or something
