The case was quite interesting and one I worked on personally. The photo was taken in a house where some poltergeist activity was taking place. Phenomena included loud, ghostly footsteps, small hovering balls of light, strange voices, music that came from nowhere, windows that opened and closed on their own, doors slamming, unexplainable gusts of wind, flying objects, and according to the witness an actual levitation.
The activity was all centered around a teenage girl who was under severe stress and had a lot of emotional problems. Her mother told me that once the girl moved out of the house, the phenomena ceased. It has not been happening in the girl's new house.
The photo shows the woman's son and a strange ball of light hovering in the background. This is not a reflection of anything. An expert on anomalous photos was very impressed and said it was one of the best that he had seen.
