The most important piece of evidence presented to the client is a photo which purports to show a little girl ghostie sitting at the bottom of some steps.

This website claims to be that of  Paul Bradford,  the GHI team member

…and he gives us enhanced screen captures of the image – it appears that even members don't get access to the original images.

What is very curious here is that there seems to be a problem of scale – at about 5:40 in, Paul himself is seen at those steps, and a rough estimate would put this little girl at less then 2 ft tall. One has to wonder why Paul and the rest of the team don't notice this.

Good catch Doc.

This is why this sort of stuff, if they are at all serious, needs to be put out for peer review to see if it holds up to criticism.

I give Paul a lot of credit for digging further into his image, even with no access to the originals, but it appears that he stopped thinking critically when he got what he wanted.

As an example of this type of thinking we can go 'way back to the FLIR image on the Crescent Hotel locker, Jason simply declares it an appirition and that's the final answer … but …. then we have the problem of Casper's head being just a bit larger then the "2".

The only possible conclusion is that this appirition is some kind of leprechaun floating in the air.

Hi Paul, and thanks for the info.

Can I ask how you came to the 3.5 – maybe 4 ft height estimate for the girl figure ?

Just so I'm clear on this, the figure is supposed to look as if she is sitting on the top concrete step with her back to the 1st vertical of the railing ?

If so, there is another problem -

When you guys were going back down those stairs during the walkthrough, the cameraman and editors flashes a nice "artsy" sequence of shots as the camera travels down the stairs. The last frame in this sequence clearly shows looking vertically downward at the bottom of the stars and the concrete steps.  There is NO step in the position where the supposed little girl is sitting.
