Ghostly Priest

Informant: Female/24/Korean ancestry
Location: Paris, France/Kauai

When I was in high school, I got to go to Europe with the school band as an Ambassador of Music from Hawaii. My sister, as a graduation present, got to go with me as a chaperone. These were the days before everyone had a digital camera. I mean, they existed, but you had to be damn rich to afford one.

Anyway, after we returned to the states we developed our gazillion rolls of film. When we got them back, my sister discovered this picture from her Paris roll. It was streaky and over exposed, so she completely disregarded it. But when I looked at it, I immediately saw a figure. To me, it looks like a priest with his head bowed and his hands folded in prayer. I can see his head, his features, and his vestments.

I asked my sister where she took the picture, and coincidentally enough she said, "I think this was at the Notre Dame cathedral."
