Is This A Victorian Spirit?

Anything from the Victorian era interests me. I took this image on a visit to San Francisco. Sceptics have said that it is just a reflection in the windscreen BUT ... I was standing on the sidewalk when I took it!

Check out the figure behind the black van.

WE definitely need a better picture.

I had a quick look in the GIMP and played with the contrast and colour levels but couldnt get anything particularly interesting except that the pinkish orb effect to the top right seems to have a very slight and short trail that leads up towards the top right corner if you boost the levels of magenta in the image.

I cant tell if the wisp to the left side of the image extends onto the area of the driveway below or if it appears to be "standing" on the pavement. Ive tried without success to boost the image contrast but i cant tell.

Are you confident this photo was not taken behind any see through material? Even lens attachments?

I assume this is a paper photo that was converted to digital? or perhaps taken using an old camera?

Wow, Look at how huge it must be, with conparison to the Van. I'm not even close to an expert but I do have this fascination for pict's with orbs/ghost and strange things in them. To be honest I'v not ever seen one this big. But then if it was right there in front of you that would explain it. If I was on the other computer I would pull it up and have a look in PSP. it's possable it is Just a glare, but it does have a reasonable shape to it making me think otherwise. Nomatter , this is a Very Cool picture and Omg I love the House, Cant waite to see what everyone thinks. Thanks so much for posting it......
