Topic: Peekaboo I see you!

[scary1]

My brother and I went to BGC around 12 noon on 2/12/10- Fri. to take some photos. There were no cars in the
parking lot and no one else in the cemetery (that we could see of course). We took our pictures and returned home.
Pictures #1 and #2 (both show two objects sticking out from behind the tree). We were facing South in the general vicinity
of the open fence that leads to the lagoon/pond area of the Woods. I have marked both photos, but I am having major problems
with the GIMP2 program I use. Therefore, I have only posted one enlarged view which is pic. #3.

I wanted to verify that what I photographed on 2/12 wasn't two very odd shaped objects sticking out from behind the tree.
I couldn't get back to BGC until  2/17 Wed. to retake the pics. Results of that trip, pic. #4 tree (only 1 piece of bark sticking
out from tree and pic. #5 (a bad pic.) of ground area between the two trees (no foot prints in snow). 

I don't believe the top object protruding from the tree is bark. I see something else. More interesting photos from BGC?
What do you think?

Whatever it is it is casting a shadow.  I don't think ghost cast shadows, do they?

Typically no, but the only thing that looks like it could be the "mass's" shadow would actually be 2 or 3 feet off the ground, so this mass isn't actually casting a shadow. When posting photos, always be sure to post the original so that we can check the EXIF data, any changes made could remove the data and the data can prove you hadn't manipulated the photo in any way. Whatever it is, it moves in the second picture, its kinda hard to tell.
