Technologic apparition
A few months back I bought a new snazzy phone with a pretty decent camera, and as always when I get something new to play about with, I did so with merry abandon. On the first day I had it I was taking pictures of literally EVERYTHING, to help get to grips with all the attached bells and whistles.

So anyway, I had retired to bed (alas, alone) when I decided to take a picture of my darkened room to see what it looked like and to test out the flash. I'm not sure why but as soon as I pressed the button to take the picture and the flash went off something in my mind decided that what I had just done wasn't the brightest idea, especially as I was alone and prone to an over-active imagination...

A very long second later and the picture I had just taken was displayed on my phone, I held my breath... Everything seemed to be in order except for one small detail, on the edge of the picture at the top right-hand side was a rather blurry whitish-pink orb. My mind raced and I tried to comprehend what I was seeing, since the camera never lies. Perhaps I'd recorded the appearance of something inexplicable? Perhaps my belief of life itself was to be shaken to the very core by this mysterious apparition?

Or perhaps I'd been careless with my fingers and had accidentally put one over part of the lens?

Idiot.
