The image was produced, intentionally, by taking a photograph of a mirror. The reasoning for such is that ‘apparitions’ appear in mirrors with a supposed greater ease than in the atmosphere. Despite the assertions by a fellow ‘ghost hunter’ that the image captured by Kyle Thompson is a genuine image of the Black Monk, such is far from the case.
The effect of the triple reflection is thus a distorted image which is the product of the combined effects of the bright flash, the dirt upon the mirror, and the failure of the camera lens and CCD chip to cope with and process the resultant reflected image and light.
Verdict: No paranormal phenomena — this is the result of taking a photograph of a mirror whilst using a flash in a dark room, coupled with the desire to see a ghostly image.
