I am an amateur photographer and on a photography forum. One of the members went to a disused hospital and took some photo's. The one below is of interest as there is a black shadow, apparition or something on the right of the picture from half way up to the top. There was nothing on the wall on the right and it wasn't windy at all.
Your thoughts please:

Well, At the very first glance I would have said motion blur, but obviously to have motion blur appear like this, there would need to be something to become blurred and as you say there was nothing there, so I would secondly put it down to to trick of light causing blurred shadows, perhaps as a result of the central light source i.e. Light from the sun beaming right through the centre of the pic. You can have a lot of unprecidented results as a cause of light reflection through windows etc. Just look at the blue door in itself, The light has caused glare on the lens and therefore has resulted in what looks like a mist on the inside of the room..
HOWEVER, going back to the the strange shadow, well i say shadow, but looking at it more deeply i would have rule it out because of the following
The three white blurred dots, look like something that has light reflecting onto them ruling out shadow but going back to being an actual object or person. And i say three white dots but realy it is just the one white bit of replection with the other two being a motion blur. Without a guaranteed certainty that there was nothing else or noone else in the room i would have to rule out anything paranormal about this picture. |

Wonder if that is part of the camera strap? |

The shadow comes from the ceiling and abruptly stops just above the chairs which would suggest to me that it could be the camera strap or clothing worn by the photographer. |
