Photo of a Spirit

I wrote a song that has just been released on our new album called Spirit (Are You Alright) based on what I believe to be a spirit caught in the photo that you see here. I was in Williamsport, PA shooting a Japanese Movie based on the Little World Series. All of the hotels were full because of this big event. So we had to find an alternative place to stay. Luckily, we met a really generous family who were from Williamsport and happen to live in a really cool house that was over 100 years old. I stayed there for a few days with several members of the Japanese crew. On my last day there I decided to take some pictures of the different rooms in the house to document my trip. I happened to take this picture in the dinning room real quick, and I looked at the frame and it looked like something was in it, so I snapped another picture and then moved throughout the house snapping a few more of different areas. I didn't notice the strange figure until I got back home and checked out the photos a few days later. I was pretty freaked out by this shot. It looks like a hand and an arm connected to a body of some sort of spirit that was trying to jump out of the way, much like I surprised it. You can see the shape of fingers and the thumb of the hand. I was so intrigued by this photo that I got inspired and wrote a song about it recalling this event, as well as contemplating the many spirits that may be around us that we just dont notice. If there are in fact real spirits among us, are they all right? That is the question.
