(N.Morgan) This is the time of year when ghost and goblins are on everyone minds, the time of year candy is passed out in the ritual of Halloween. When ghosts and spirits are to wonder the Earth. In the video below, we might just be witnessing an entity of some sort raising out of the ashes of a bonfire. The annual burning of the Mexican boogeyman, known as El Kookooee, draws crowds to Albuquerque’s South Valley. At this year’s event, the burning may have drawn more than just people. “All of us were just freaked out by this thing,” said Steve Vaughan. The figure was captured in a picture taken by a pair of local firefighters at the burning Sunday. A ghost enthusiast said it could be some sort of wizard or spirit.
“It’s either a real humanoid figure up there hovering in the sky or it’s an extremely good projection from either a slide or some kind of camera,” said Rick Walter. The image is getting a lot of attention. “I showed it to them and they were all, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s wild,’ ‘I want to see that, text it to me,’ and then they put it on Facebook and it kind of blew up from three,” said Josh Ellis. El Kookooee is a Hispanic ritual where people scribble their fears on paper then throw the scraps into a fiery effigy. Firefighters Ellis and Vaughan were working the event Sunday.
“They lit it up and we are just standing there observing it, you know, taking pictures like everyone else and that’s when Josh, one of my coworkers, got the photo of the spirit or whatever it is,” said Vaughan. After numerous doubletakes, the two realized the picture they had in front of them wasn’t of just people setting their worries on fire, it may have been something supernatural. “We showed it to the director of the event and he said, ‘Oh that’s El Kookooee. He’s coming to take all of the fears away,’ ” said Vaughan. Vaughn and Ellis said the photo is 100 percent authentic. The figure only showed up in a few pictures taken by the firefighters. It didn’t show up in any video. Ghost enthusiasts said it may have been a camera flare, but they can’t be sure.
I think this is just a reflection, similar to the endtimes horseman video from a couple of years back. Both had fires in them. You can see the wooden structure in the so called effigy. Were the firemen sitting in their firetruck taking the picture thru the windshield of the truck? It could be a reflection from that, or an abnormality from the camera lens. If it were real, given its size I thing many many more people would have seen it, and it would have sparked some kind of crowd reaction. Just my opinion.
Pleeeeze. Come on. Just any amateur can tell this is what is called lens refraction. You can see the almost mirror image of the fire and wood, though the refraction causes a few slight differences. I know– I do camera work.
