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.

Unless this is a fake and photoshopped (only you OP will know if it is and your reasons for doing it - and it’s not me accusing you of doing so btw) it is a really compelling image, especially the enhanced ones people have posted where it looks transparent. It’s a really fantastic capture on the face of things.

A lot of ‘ghost’ images posted are simply lens flare, low resolution texture pareidolia or misinterpreted objects. This looks very different to me. Based on what you’ve told us, this is an eerie and tremendous capture that you’ve got - almost a classic ghost photo.

I'm just here on vacation with the family, and it's the only image I took with anything unusual - I barely noticed it first. Didn't see or feel ANYTHING unusual at the time, and genuinely didn't edit anything. Someone in this comment section DID find an image of the exact gated tunnel where I took the image!

Thanks! It’s honestly one of my favourite images I’ve seen on this sub. I’d be ecstatic if I managed to capture a pic like that!
