Ghost in the machine?
Ok, I'm not one given to superstition or paranormal phenomenon. But this picture is just TOO freaky.
I sold my 68 Cadillac Coupe Deville convertible last week and the new owner took pictures of it. One of the pictures has what can only be described as a ghost sitting at the steering wheel. Take a look at the overall picture and a closeup.
I'm sure it's just some combination of the reflected clouds, trees and ambient lighting. Or it's the ghost of some long dead owner or a local spirit reliving the joys of riding in a convertible. Although one might question the pleasure factor of doing in the middle of the winter... I guess the dead aren't bothered by the cold.
In either case you can be sure I'm going to seriously examine any future pictures of my backyard. Maybe I'll get lucky and the spirits will have a green thumb and do all my yardwork.
