Anomalous, Spirit-Type Figure Capture in Swindon, Wiltshire, 2012 or 13
Submitted by BEAMS Investigator Julie Goring
Description: "This picture was taken some years ago, (2012 or 2013) by my daughter in her garden in Wiltshire, UK: She was photographing their family cat; the brown figure behind it is a complete mystery, and only showed up on the one photo; the next shot taken straight after, same spot, didn't show anything unusual." End.

analysis: As seasoned researchers we have had a good deal of experience
in the analysis of unexplained imagery; and there is little doubt in
our minds that the above case photo is genuine, and shows an unintentional capture of
something which we cannot normally see with the naked eye; probably an
incorporeal form which varies in it's vibration/frequency to anything
in our physical plane of existence.
As
the result of having studied so much evidence of this nature, we can
verify that the countenance of such figures can often appear somewhat
'alien' to our earthly eyes; perhaps distorted, gnarled, out of
proportion and/or even with animal-like features; we think that this
particular example from the Swindon report, looks a bit like a bear.
The
label that investigators tend to put on this type of image is usually 'ghost',
'spirit' or 'phantom', yet that is only guesswork, as we have no idea
whether these things are anything to do with the dead: So, for reference purposes here, let's call them 'entities'.
On
the flip side of the debate, the same can said of 'angels'; maybe the
Biblical artists who have for centuries portrayed angelic beings in their
customary Utopian manner, with wings and/or playing a harp, have got it
all wrong; maybe the figure under discussion here is in fact an angel! who knows?
Just
because a supernatural phenomenon fails to meet our romantic
preconceptions/expectations in its appearance, does not
automatically mean it is something diabolical.
Using
the same religious parlance, be they 'angels' or 'demons', they are
surely all 'God's creations' in his 'house of many mansions' (or
dimensions)... and for us here at BEAMS, they serve to further our
understanding about what exists at various levels of the paranormal.
