I'd have to double-check the picture against the stones, to be absolutely certain which stone it is. It's either at the back center or right front of the cemetery, standing at the entrance gate.

Many people react emotionally to this photo. I’d have to double-check the picture against the stones, to be absolutely certain which stone it is. It’s either at the back center or right front of the cemetery, standing at the entrance gate.

It wasn't condensation on the lens. If it was fog, it was fleeting, as other photos didn't show that. Humidity, dew point, temperature, etc. -- and how each affect every camera you use -- are all factors that every serious ghost photographer needs to research. This is one reason why I warn people that, to evaluate any ghost photo, they need to have been there when the picture was taken. I'm covering the basics in my upcoming book, Ghost Photography 101. The biggest surprise, as I took photos to illustrate fake orbs & anomalies as illustrations, has been how difficult it is to create convincing anomalies with smoke, camera straps, pollen, dust, and so on.

This is a good example of a picture that you want to know the dew point, temperature, and weather conditions at the time. Without that information, no one can even begin to debunk this very interesting picture. As far as what I see, it does kinda look like Rosarch from the Watchmen.
