Sailors' Ghosts
« on: Dec 03 2007 - 11:01AM »
I found this picture today searching around for stuff, I thought it was a pretty cool one.



This photo was taken by the wife of the coach seen in the picture, inside the Ford Island gymnasium at Naval Station Pearl Harbor. Look carefully in the top right corner of the picture. There are three prominent ghost-like figures that appear in the photo. Look around, I think there might be other images present too. The photo was taken in the early evening with a digital point-and-shoot camera. Here's something interesting: The evening this photo was taken was also team "picture night." That's why the lady who took this had her camera with her. As well, a professional photographer was present and took lots of photos inside the gym that evening. I'm told she's aware of this picture, but I don't know if anything other weird images turned up on her's or anyone else's camera. Makes you wonder. I have no reason to doubt the integrity of the photo, especially with all of the stories over the years, and the history of that building and the island. A long-time employee on base told me that building once also served as a huge pool hall, bar and dancefloor. A place where sailors wanted to congregate. As well, the ancient Hawaiians apparently used Ford Island as a ceremonial place. All of his sure adds to the allure of the photo.
Always remember.........Just because you have never seen something, does not mean that something does not exist.

Did that come from some other site?

I'm skeptical of any post on any other site that doesn't include the full-size unedited picture for comparison... To me that always screams "shop job"...
