Irwin Residence - Outside

This photo of the outside of the house was taken by PRISM investigator John Shrimpton at 9:34:56 PM. What appears to be an apparition of a girl can be seen in the dining room window.

The photo below the apparition photo was taken just before, within the same minute as the window apparition photo, at exactly 9:34:27 PM. As you can see, there is no window apparition seen in this shot.

We'll let you be the judge!

Note: The photo on the right is a close-up of the window apparition in the original photo on the left.



Note: This photo was taken within the same minute as the top photo and no window apparition can be seen.

Irwin Residence - Outside

This photo was one in a series of photos taken that night, trying to debunk the photo of the window apparition above. We had PRISM investigator Kelley N. sit in a chair which we put in the center of the dining room. The orbs in the photo were caused by rain drops.

Note: The photo on the right is a close-up of the door knob in the original photo on the left.
