As open-minded as I may be when it comes to phenomena like this, it looks like a complete hoax. A low quality picture of something that can easily be a dressed human? Come on...

If that acutally is the case, I reckon that place would be swarmed by all sorts of people already.

It's just some guy in a costume. Once he's been labelled as a ghost, we start to get all sorts of imagined nonsense, like his face being too white, or not looking human.

did they mention what time the picture was taken?

i mean, if it was during the day, then it isn't so hard to think it was a person.

but, if it was late night, wouldn't the guards know if anyone was lurking about?

Well i dunno about that picture...

But ghosts do exist. I've seen one. And I've felt them.

Y'all are just closed minded. People have such faith in current science, and such a mindset that we have gone as far as we can. If there isn't proof for something in this instant then it is an impossible superstition.

Impossible superstitions of yesterday become science fact today.

There is much more mystery in this world than science understands. I wouldn't be surprized if we find Bigfood and the Loch Ness monster one day. (though i wouldn't be very surprized if we never did either). Wasn't the Oragatang a mythical animal at some point? People dismissed them as an indonesian superstition or something? Now they are in zoos all around the world.

But ghosts exists. One day there will be proof of it than can satisfy even the most skeptical people here.

What you call blind faith in "science" is really the belief that empiricism works - emiricism being the collection of experimental data and making inferences from it. If you have some problem with this process, good for you

I find it really pathetic that atheists don't believe there are ghosts, just because they wish to rebel against this so called norm of believers. Well actually Christians can't believe there are ghosts it is against their religion... so you atheists are screwing yourselves an opportunity to thwart Christianity.
