I have to set up this picture. I'm not big on paranormal,....but,...
My younger brother, has been renovating my sisters house. The house is a huge 2 story dwelling, built in the early 1860s, when the railroads were booming in Southern Illinois. It is located 50 yards from the railroad, which has since been relocated. The house is also purported to have been a brothel in the early 1900s, when the coal mines were big in this area.
There was a mining disaster in the Centralia mine, 1/2 mile from where this house is located, in 1947, that claimed 111 lives, that eventually led to the demise of the coal mine. (You can Google this)
Back to the story....
Steve, my brother, has been working on this house all winter, and most of last year. This photo is one of over a hundred that he has taken for his "scrapbook". My brother is a Minister, so I will guarantee this is not a photoshop. Not that being a Minister makes you incapable of doing that. The picture is taken on the second floor, facing the ex-railroad, and the mine. There was no dust, or smoke in the room. However, it was 7 degrees, so his breath could be a factor?
Make your own decision. Keep your comments civil. It's my family. This is not a web pic. This is the first web post, aside from my families site, the photo has been published. With my brothers permission.
