Dark Night in Gatlinburg TN

I took this picture on the night of Nov 6 in the resort city of Gatlinburg, TN. This is behind a church and away from the crowded main thoroughfares. Aside from the lights that seem to be emitted from a human-form figure in the center of them, there appears to be several apparitions standing against the wall. They look to be dressed as monks or friars. One on the far end looks to be peeking around the others toward our direction, as if we had aroused his curiosity. None of this was visible to us and only showed up on the camera. Click this link to view.

I'm not sure, there was so much camera shake going on. You did get several small orange lights that appear to be moving fast, even though that is a slow S.speed you can see that several of the light anomalies were moving quickly and branching off. As for the figures I'm not so sure, I think they could be due more to the bad exposure.

I only seem to have that problem in low light settings with my little C/S but that sure resembles hooded figures, doesn't it? How would shaking or low light cause that effect, with nothing of those shapes in the background to explain that?

Okay, here's a photo at our cabin that doesn't seem to have shaken camera syndrome, but the light is strangely bent in the photo. Confused

I'm seeing shutter lag.

Now there's two photos in the discussion. Which one, YB?

I was commenting on the first picture. The second could be a few things. My first thought was a piece of hair in front of the lens during the flash. Could be energy as well... hard to tell.

I believe that energy may produce electro-magnetic activity, which could interfere with digital cameras and that could be a reason for the result. Apply logic to what your eyes behold and express yourself accordingly but I see what I described in the 1st photo. I don't know about the second one either. A hair on the lens is an interesting point but the lens on my camera does retract and cover when turned off. That's not to say it's impossible but maybe improbable.

Here's another photo outside of the same church. Orbs are seen in the upper quadrant of the photo.

I did some Gamma Correction on it and just for effect did a negative. Your right, just a few orbs and nothing else that I can see.

To provide some insight into the next couple of pictures, Google "Rocky Top Village Inn." This was presented as a documentary on episode # 38 of City Confidential, (A & E Network) titled, "Gatlinburg: Smoky Mountain Nightmare."
As usual with my present camera in low light settings, there is a little blurriness in this photo. But look on the lower right side of the end-facing window (circled).
Maybe it is a malfuction, but if it is, it surely makes for an interesting photo, as any of the others that one may attach a reasonable theory for.

This last one is a shot into the office area of the RTVI. This one is mysterious to me. I've circled three items of interest in this one.

After doing some enhancing, the first pic, the area you circled becomes just a blur.. nothing paranormal.

Now the second pic, two faces do appear to be there, at least I could not do anything to prove they are not paranormal.

Yes, the 2nd one is the most interesting one from Gatlinburg to me.
