This image was caught in 1984 during a paranormal investigation of a Toys R Us store in Sunnyvale, California. It is said that infrared and normal pictures were taken during a séance and when the film was developed the infrared photos showed the image of a man who was not present in the normal photo. The man also appears to be wearing clothing that was out of place for that time period.
Authorities have warned people to stay away from the Decebal Hotel allegedly because construction was taking place on the one hundred fifty year old building. What they didn't warn people about was the ghost. The spirit of a tall woman in a long white frock has long been reported at the spa. The hotel in Romania is rumored to hide ancient Roman treasure, and the ghost, it is said, appears to protect it from treasure hunters.
Only anecdotal evidence for this ghost existed until 2008 when thirty-three year old Victoria Iovan snapped this photograph, which indeed seems to show the ghostly image of a tall figure in long white garb. "I photographed my boyfriend in the hotel," said Iovan. "Back home I was shocked to see another woman's shadow in the picture. She looked like a priestess in long white clothes."
Unfortunately, copyright information for the original is not available at this time and the image is believed to be in the public domain.
The picture to the right was taken at a gathering of friends and family of the woman pictured. She was in her nineties and died a short time after photo was taken. No one noticed for a few years the chilling image behind her. They had even made copies and passed them out to family members because they thought it was such a good picture of their grandma. When it was finally noticed, family members were able to compare the mystery man in the background to other family photographs. The mystery man turned out to be quite the opposite. They all believed it was their grandfather who had long since passed away.
