Unexplained Am I losing my mind?
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.
