You’ve commented at the general Gilson index page. I’m not sure which photo or photos you’re commenting about, and claiming are a “bluff.”

I’m in the process of completing a book, Ghost Photography 101, and it shows what people can expect from cigarette smoke — both cloves and regular cigarettes — as well as cigar smoke, incense, and many other factors that can result in false anomalies.

Until you’ve completed similar, lengthy tests, a one-time visit to a cemetery is probably not sufficient foundation to debunk a professional’s photos.

No one was smoking when I took any of my mist-related photos. I am very careful about that, and always have been; and, that’s not just because I’m allergic to smoke and highly sensitive to the slightest waft of it.

I also verify weather conditions, including humidity and dew point.

If you’re talking about my “what is this…?” picture: Just three of us were in the cemetery. No one was smoking. Further, we’d been in the cemetery for over two hours, so I would know if anyone had smoked in the area shortly before the pictures were taken.

Most of my Gilson photos were taken when Gilson Road Cemetery was surrounded by woods, years before the subdivision arrived. There were no nearby houses, and no wood fires.

When we’ve seen paranormal evidence of torches in the woods behind the cemetery, we do not see mist in our photos.

Smoke was not a possibility in my photos.

Ghost photographs are only as reliable as the expertise and integrity of those who took them. If you don’t trust my expertise or integrity, you’ll probably enjoy other websites more than this one.

Any ghost photo can be “debunked” by someone who wasn’t there to verify the conditions under which the relevant photos were taken.

Expertise and integrity are the bottom line in terms of ghost photography.
