I do not know if you believe in strange creatures…We are in our new house and out of curiosity, I took some photo of a ghost or strange creature. I 'm not aware of it because my husband can’t see it on my phone. He keeps on telling me that it is only my own imagination. Maybe, I’m tired or stressed with so many works lately. Am I insane? or just having anxiety? 😕 It is scary… ---

What prompted you to take these photos? Did you see the apparition before taking the photos or does it only manifest on the screen? Does it appear malevolent? ---

Step one: get a dog, a really big one, like a Great Dane. Preferably a really slobbery one. With friends. ---

You’re not insane, seeing things that aren’t there is completely normal for humans. It is however not a ghost or strange creature, unless you’re in a horror movie and your husband superunimaginative and/or gaslighting you. And even then it needs to be a supernatural horror movie, if it is not, your husband’s friend is the strange creature. ---

Is the camera facing forward or backward? That could explain why your husband sees something different. ---
