CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Baby ghost or car seat shadow?

By Jeff Ferrell – bio|email

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) –  Caught on camera:  It's a strange image you have to judge for yourself.

The photo was taken Sunday (1/31) in Minden, Louisiana.  The little baby sitting in the car seat, in the middle of the picture, is 3-week old S'Veah Moore of Minden.  Her mother took the photo and sent it to a relative.

S'Veah's mother, Brittney, quickly got a phone call back from that same relative, her cousin.  She pointed out what appeared to be a gray image just to the left of the baby.

When you take a closer look, some observers say it looks like the gray outline and figure of a baby, in effect a ghost baby.  And that's exactly what Brittney Moore thought, as well.  She suffered a miscarriage last year while four months pregnant.

Critics may argue it's just a random pattern created by shadows.  But this Ark-La-Tex mother told me she wants to believe it's the baby she lost.
