The Television Demon
The Story
Sent in by Jessica Estabrooks:
I
took a picture of my TV by accident one day, and this demon/owl/wolf like figure
was in it. I'm surprised I noticed it, but I keep my eye out for things like
this since me and my friend have had lots of ghost experiences. and as cliché as
it sounds, he woke up the next day and went to send me the pictures, and they
were all deleted the next morning. He was scared, disappointed, and confused.
anyways, i hope you can help me figure this out. thank you!
p.s. I hope you can see what I see.
Analysis
There has been a lot of
fascinating work into the phenomenon of Instrumental
Transcomummication (ITC) which has produced
some amazing pictures (if they are to believed). This phenomenon, similar
to 
electromagnetic
voice phenomenon (EVP), allows a camera to capture pictures of spirits on
televisions and computer monitors (in theory, at least). Supposedly, this
works best when a video camera is
pointed at a television screen that is displaying input from the camera --
meaning that the camera is taking a picture of a screen which is displaying a
picture of a screen which is displaying a picture of a screen and so on so that
basically, the camera is filming infinity.
It is on this wavelength (again, in theory) that still cameras can take pictures of spirits. Pictures of spirits have been taken on screens displaying programs and even screens that are powered off.
I keep saying "in theory" because I tried this once and never got any results.
So, if this photo is genuine, it would be a case of ITC and not EVP.
Conclusion
However, I don't believe that this is a case of ITC. More than likely, what we are seeing is actually something from the television program itself. It appears that the owl face might actually be part of the light fixture on the wall.
