Oh my!!!
I wish it was a better photo but it was a point and shoot camera and I didn't see anything with my naked eye so it was just a snapshot. But "Oh My!!!" was my reaction a few days later too.

I definitely do see what looks like a dark horse and rider. Very scary, but many of our young men did have their lives shortened and this one may be looking for a way home and hasn't found it yet.

Now you have me looking at it, satorifarm. I see a dark horse on the right, possibly laying down. I think for the size of the "horse" it should be taller. So maybe it's laying down, and I see a darker area on the horse that could be a rider. Although why is there a rider if the horse is laying down? Now...do I really see this? Or have I also been staring at it too long??? :) I definitely see what you're talking about, though. I'm fairly skeptical about this stuff but sometimes things just can't be explained. I'll completely disbelieve the paranormal when someone scientifically proves it doesn't exist. Until then....maybe...

Hi...Several years ago I visited the Gettysburg Ba... (show quote)
Ever do a Rorschach Inkblot test? You would surprise yourself at what you can "see". Our minds are "trained" to bring out images that match our past experience. Viewing your shots, I can see other things that match up with what I have seen in the past. The point is that I am making the connection in my mind. Impressionism would be the art form that comes closest to what we do. I play a game in which I try to find faces in whatever I am looking at. I find myself being successful a large part of the time when I do it.
So. You are not crazy. You are just normal.
Or if you need some scientific term. You are suffering with Photography Ectoplasmatic Interpretation.

I do believe in the spirit world, and this could be in that realm. For those that say they don't, well, we all have our opinions. I have had spiritual things happen to me that have no rational explanation. Maybe you have the ability to see what others don't.

Foliage and shadows, that if one tries hard enough, appear to be ghostly apparitions of something familiar even though the shapes and proportions are wrong.

Photos like this always benefit from large blow-ups of small areas, exaggerating the etherealness so that fuzziness can be imagined to be something else. Had you had a 400mm lens focused on that exact spot at the time, do you think you would have had a very sharp image of a ghost and his horse?

I believe that many photographers at one point have taken an image that may not be easy to explain. I have a few myself. But being Gettysburg considered one of the most haunted places, it makes the image most interesting.
Especially, if you go to Gettysburg (or anywhere else for that matter) with the intent to capture paranormal activity, chances are you won't get much if any. So, I think this image is rare as well. If I were the op I would explore ways to enhance the image and extract as much detail as possible.

I see what you're talking about. With a little stretch of the imagination it looks to me like a horse and rider going away from you toward the fence. I'm guessing there could be other explanations, but interesting to speculate. Who knows?
