So its the same effect as what is in the top right of the original picture (which everyone seems to have not noticed.)

Thats a Christmas light that is on in the window.

The reason the effects are similar on the snow as on the glass is because they are both frosted surfaces and the resultant glow is due to the diffusion of light. This is why the effect cannot be seen in the other windows.

It should be easy reproducible so.

OP, take another shot at night, see if you can get that door glass to reflect in the same way.

Tried it and nothing, door and glass are clearly visible with no light reflecting off the glass. I guess I'll have to wait for more snow and try it then.

did you not ask the owners of that house what it was? or are you afraid to ask in case they think you're a nosy neighbour?

well to me it definitely looks like a snowman decoration

the OP has said that he doesnt think anyone is living there,who is there to ask. Even if there was they might get freaked out by something like that, most folks on here are looking at the possible explanations for it, light,snow ect but others could be superstitious.

Its a really strange photo,and good to see so many people trying to come up with an explanation rather than dismiss it outrightly. OP i think you're right,you'll have to wait for the snow to come back and try again.

Looks like a lit up snowman and the tree mixed with light from the street at the moment you took the picture.

Either that or you have a great imagination.....

If I knew posting the picture up here was going to cause trouble I wouldn't of bothered

For the record, there was no one about when I took the picture, there was no hall light on and there was nothing on the tree either.

Thanks to everyone for all the opinions of what it could be. I don't know what it is and I'm not going to say 100% it's a ghost either, all I'm going to say is it's a strange picture that I can't explain.

how do you know? did you purposely look for a light to be on, or something hanging from a tree? you probably only looked AFTER you looked at the photo, to see if there was a hall light on, by which time the hall light could have been switched off.

to me, is a very normal looking picture

of course, it could me a moving statue. these creatures tend to roam the land anytime there is a recession, either bleeding or crying. This one obviously wanted to get in out of the cold for a while.

If you read my previous posts you would see that I said no one lives there. Maybe a ghost turned the light on and off

I'll go with a trick of the light as the cause, an interesting picture all the same.

Try to get the same image again. If you can't reproduce it, it could be a ghost.


Or if you see the ghost on the roof

Sorry but that's a load of crap, and exactly the kind of 'proof' so many people plague this board with. Of course he is not going to be able to capture the same image again; how is he meant to influence all the factors around the area? A proof of convenience isn't actually proof.

I have to agree, the chances of me being able to snap the same picture again are extremely slim to none, whether it be a trick of the light or something else.
