Gilson Road Cemetery - streak of energy?

This photo is one of seven taken after dark at Gilson Road Cemetery on Oct 13th, 2001, at about 7:30 p.m. It is one of four with this color streak across them.
What makes this a credible anomaly is examining the film. The sweep of color does not extend beyond the frame on the negative. There is no evidence of tampering with the film, and nothing splashed across it.
Details:
Olympus AF-Twin camera, taken with flash
Shaw’s 35 mm film, ISO 200
Developed at Target’s one-hour service
Let me step up on my self righteous soap box for a moment.
You have the audacity to call this a “Credible Anomaly”? Let’s start with the film- a store brand film, which becomes a store brand film because it is cheaper to make than name brand film. Why? Because is isn’t made to the same standards as name brand film. Since Shaw’s isn’t in the film business, this film could also have been sitting around unrefridgerated for quite a while. The second problem is that it was developed at Target at their one hour service, which means it was developed on site by someone who may only be marginally trained with chemicals which may be near depletion. Unfortunately, this type of evidence is not credible at all and extremely suspect.
If it makes you more comfortable to seek explanations for interesting and chilling anomalies, by all means keep looking. You’ll certainly find them!
The fact is, there is no clear, irrefutable evidence to prove ghosts or haunted places. If there was, there would be no debate.
Merriam-Webster defines audacity as “intrepid boldness.” (Intrepid means fearless.) With that in mind, yes, most professional ghost hunters have ample audacity. We wouldn’t be in this field if we didn’t.
