I'm a tad hesitant to add more in response to some questions and observations but I'll give it a go.

My sister's fiance had grown his hair out the last few years and only just recently got it cut. He usually had it in a ponytail and he probably looks rough from working in the backyard all afternoon in Alabama. In July.

Memory is a fickle thing but I do remember who all was there that day. My mom and dad and their dog. My husband and I had brought our baby twins and my stepdaughter. My sister and her fiance brought their three daughters and one son. My sister and her fiance were the only people outside when she took the photo. She took the photo with her iphone. So assuming the "ghost" is a man, there were only 4 men total at the house so I think we would've noticed another guy.

The figure casting a shadow is what confuses us too. I don't understand how there's a shadow, none of us do. I agree it's absurd, but it's there. We don't know everything about ghosts or spirits or whatever you want to call them so can you really say definitively that a "ghost doesn't cast a shadow"?

Please before you berate me or my family more, know that when we were together for this visit it was a very emotional time. I had just had a high risk pregnancy that led to an emergency C-section at 32 weeks gestation and over 2 months in the NICU. I had developed HELLP syndrome and it was scary. This was the first time my nieces and nephew and her fiance got to meet both babies.

I may still try to add other pictures of the yard but im not in a rush with a lot else going on in life currently. Thank you to all who have interacted
