I have been a bit MIA on the writing front lately. Last week was an awesome time with some hilarious friends and I managed to mix in some research as well!

We went to The Myrtles Plantation for a tour and to roam the grounds for a while. The whole place is gorgeous, and of course, notoriously haunted! This was ideal to get a better idea of what furnishings would be in Deidre's house in Waking Up and how the household would have worked while the house was in the height of its glory.

Not to mention the paranormal aspect. Speaking of which, I may have caught something...
Explanation: I was using my iPhone 4, which has a central auto-focus built into it. Basically that means either the whole picture is in focus or none of it is.
The shots were snapped within 15 seconds or so of each other. I wanted a shot of the mirror without a reflection in it. Here's the first... 

 And here's the second...

Why is only half of the bottom picture in focus?? I had a photographer friend who just so happens to be an ex-ghost hunter (she ran a group out of Austin, TX before she moved) and she has never seen an iPhone camera act like this!

Is that blurred area a ghost? The anomaly certainly gives me food for thought while I continue writing Waking Up!
