The fact that you took several photos at the same angle with only one "ectoplasm" revealed doesn't necessarily mean that at that moment there wasn't some variation in room lighting, or outside lighting changing the dynamics at the time the pic was snapped. If, on the other hand, you were to take photos from different angles, in different lighting settings, and at other times of the day/night, and the greenish reflection appeared in all or some or perhaps even one of the shots, then I'd be much more likely to "wonder." <br /><br />Another comment mentions Lily Dale, NY. I'd say GO!! I've been there, but went in early September after all the main mediums had left for the season. Tess, you'd love Lily Dale, even just to walk the small streets, breathe in the atmosphere, and contemplate. I plan to go there sometime in August! <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Dale,_New_YorkR.
