Fake ghost pictures can be created using as little as one piece of hair.
Most of these 'vortex' photos aren't as dramatic as the ones featured in our other article,
False ghost pictures - Hair tests, but
serious researchers will want to review these to confirm the effects of hair.
The picture at left shows a single piece of hair. What's interesting is the 'dot' at the end. We've
seen this effect in several ghost photos that were each described as a 'vortex'.
(We're not saying that they're fake... just pointing out the coincidence.)
At right, here's another highlighted strand of hair that could look odd in a picture.
Ordinarily, we'd suspect that this was caused by a bug. In this case, it's hair.
Fiona usually pulls her hair back during photo sessions. With this range of anomalies, we're
going to recommend this to all of our researchers.
The picture at left looked like a 'camera strap vortex' to us, but it's actually
a couple of pieces of hair. If Fiona's hair wasn't so red, the cause could be more difficult to identify. Note
how translucent the 'vortex' appears in the photo.
Two pieces of hair look like 'vortices' in the
picture at right.
Hair that's too close to the lens looks like a shadow, as seen on
our webpage, False shadows from hair,
and hair that's too far away doesn't appear in the picture at all.
Previously, we'd reported some hair-related anomalies in our article,
False 'ghost orbs' and
hair.
After our more recent research, we've concluded that hair offers far more potential for false anomalies than we'd realized.
