Photographer captures ghost?

From The Whitehaven (U.K.) News:

A VISITOR to Whitehaven’s Rum Story claims to have photographed paranormal lights at the haunted tourist attraction. Ghost expert Dr Jason Braithwaite dismisses the ‘lights’ as nothing more than dust particles but The Rum Story’s Marie Whitehead is keeping an open mind. snip Dr Jason Braithwaite, a Paranormal expert, has been investigating strange experiences at the Rum Story and Muncaster Castle for a year and a half. During several ghost hunts, other paranormal experiences have been recorded. However he was dismissive of the photos. He told The Whitehaven News: “I can see nothing of any real interest in the photos sent to me. These are pretty standard and basic dust-effects where small specs of dust become illuminated by flash photography. With a digital camera the flash is generally placed much closer to the lens which means you are much more likely to get the effects. “Furthermore, the dust is very close to the lens and so appears out-of-focus. This gives the illusion of an 'orb'. “Try it for yourself. Get hold of a standard digital camera and try to create some dust in an enclosed space. Compare those pictures to ones where you create no dust and you will clearly see these effects for yourself.

As a trained paranormal investigator myself, I say trust the expert on this.
