Cafe 'Phatom' Caught by Photographer

[7redorbs]

The below picture shots show an interesting phenomenon with some 'tell tale' features that I believe our resident free -energy expert a G frog might be interested in conjecturing and theorising on.

This one has me at a loss, but it's very interesting nonetheless. Maybe it is just a person eh?

These are four pictures I took in quick succession at a café near my house. I'm a photographer and was taking pictures for artistic purposes when I captured these. I remember taking these photos, but do not remember anyone or anything walking or otherwise passing past the lens. I was left with the impression, in fact, that they would be unimpressive and that they'd be deleted (though I waited, as usual, until later to assess my work).

They were taken without a flash with a Canon Rebel XTi (fps 5), a shutter speed of ¼ of a second, and without a tripod (though I was sitting still in a chair). After consulting a couple of other photographers about the photo, I have yet to come up with an explanation. It was noted that the motion blur on the figure suggests movement to the right though the figure went left. There also appear to be features suggesting a face in the third frame, though there are clearly no such markings in the first or second. It's also noteworthy that everything else in the photo (including the two girls behind the figure, one of whom was talking and – between the second and third pictures – had moved her hand) is in perfect focus.

Taking all this into consideration, we concluded that the figure, whatever it is, seems to be twisting – fast and continuously - in a counter-clockwise direction and that it covered about 8 or 9 feet of space doing this in 1.8 seconds (given the shutter speed and fps speed of the camera). This without I, nor the two girls at the table, nor my friend (whose elbow is in the bottom left hand corner) noticing.

I have all four of the originals. They were taken in RAW format on a digital SLR and thus have saved the most information possible to have a record of for each of these four photographs (including the color information).

Please let me know what you think. It looks like a ghost, smells like a ghost…does it sound like a ghost to you?

What ever it is it seems to shadow the leaf on the post between the two women and the man and on the jacket on the back of the woman's chair.
I know that I have ran in a cafe in a hurry to get to the restroom,twisting and twirling all the way so as to not hit anything during the mad dash.
The long coat and what looks to be a high waste line suggests to me that it is a woman.
Not to say only women hurry to the potty, but I have three daughters and have seen this mad dash before
Given the bright lite on the right hand side tells me that is most likely the entrance and to the left would be to the back of the cafe where most of them have the restroom located.
I hope it is a ghost but for now I think it is a woman in a hurry to make it to the restroom.
Just had to give my thoughts
