A possible image of the ghost of an animal that is not in the window/reflection or at night, but outside in bright daylight.

The author writes:

My photo is from 2014.

Note: I will not name this cemetery or indicate its location, except that it is located in Florida. Please don't ask.

Next to the left edge of the image, at the base of the tree, is there a dog standing there, trying to manipulate and then chew a small area of white clippings of the earth? He's been there in a similar (but not exact) position for 3 photos in a row.

Is it just a pareidolia when 3 legs are shown in the first picture, and all 4 will be visible in the second? (only the first image and the enlarged image are shown here) The already raised edge of the short piece of white plastic in this picture was moved right in front of his mouth in the second picture I took.

Or is it just a real dog (with very wobbly legs) that is not in good focus since it is far from the center of the image of my single-point autofocus?

The photos were taken with an entry-level Nikon camera, shutter speed of 1/400 seconds, which negates any camera shake. At that time, I didn't notice anything unusual and continued to walk carefully, taking only photos.

If it's interesting, I'll post photos 2 and 3.

 

Original news

Picture is mine from 2014. Note: I will not name this Cemetery or give its location, other than it is in Florida. Please don't ask. Near the picture left edge, at the base of the tree, does a dog stand there trying to manipulate and then munch on a small section of white ground trimming? He is there in similar (but not exact) position for 3 pictures in a row. Is it just pareidolia when 3 legs show in this first picture but all 4 will show in the second one? (only the first picture and a zoom are shown here) The already lifted up edge of the short piece of white plastic in this picture has been moved right to the front of his mouth in the second pic I took. Or is it just a real dog (with very wonky legs) that isn't in good focus as it is well off the picture center of my single point auto focus? Pics were taken with an entry level Nikon camera, shutter speed was 1/400 of a second, which negates any camera shake. I never noticed anything unusual at the time and would continue walking around carefully taking only pictures. If there is any interest I will post pictures 2 and 3 of this.

Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.

Pareidolic illusion

A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).
