   Hmm, I just had a thought. Are ghost and angel sightings at tourist locations the first form of viral marketing?

   Well, it kinda looks like a guy wearing white carrying chairs to a pavilion.

   Seriously, This is kinda stupid Neatorama. I guess all your other stuff makes up for it though.

   i was thinking round cocktail tables as opposed to chairs, but yeah - think that's the right track

   It was probably an angel. I can tell from quite a few of the pixels and from seeing quite a few angels in my time.

   I zoomed in and used some sharpening filters and giggled a bit.

   Its a man (dressed in white) carrying two plastic tables and putting them on his head for stability. The tables are top-to-top with each of them having their legs outwards. Obviously club staff (hence the white overalls) clearing up tables for the night. He is moving towards the camera, and the low resolution shot blurs because of this.

   Some guy carrying tables on his head, top to top like bobby said with four legs pointing down and four pointing up

    Way to go, bobbynotick. I was gonna call Photoshopped.

    You can read in the top left that the pictures are taken 15 minutes apart from each other. Plenty of time for anyone to walk through

    Check your mythology. That's a downright lazy angel. He's supposed to be flying.

    Seriously Neatorama? SO obvious it's what bobby said. Funny though, it made me click thru.

    How very disappointing.

    Leave that credulous stuff to YouTube ghost sightings.

    Love the blog, but this is not cool.

    Calm down people. It's not that bad. If you'd cancel your feed because of this I'd be glad to see you go.

    man, I was hoping to come to the comments and see where to view this feed! I'm in Minneapolis - a little tropical love wouldn't hurt, you know?

    March 9th, 2009 at 4:39 pm

    cancel your feed / stop visiting because of one silly post? Isn't that sort of a childish reaction - throwing a fit?

    anyhow, (specifically @ Taluta) not all hoaxes have to be photoshoped. It could in fact be a person dressed weird on purpose, and got in front of the camera.

    but in this case it seems bobbynotick was on the ball.

    "and soon after, the "angel" was gone"

    A little over 15 mins and 900 exposures the object is gone.

23. Josh
    March 9th, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    I agree after some editing it looks like a guy carrying a table.

    The ghost effect can easily be explained by night time over exposure in the light since he is moving.

24. Woogie
    March 9th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    15 seconds between shows. Disappearance is easily explained there. And yeah, guy carrying chairs or tables. DUH!

    Looks kind of like EVA-01 from Evangelion.

    Isn't that the guy from that Spiderman movie?

28. Adam D. Jones

    I hope the casual observers notice there is a 15 second window between the two shots, enough time to my grandmother to walk through and get out of sight.

    Slow day on Neatorama? I'm more inclined to sightings of Cheesus, or the virgin mary in a rusty sink. Depressing, really.

    15 minutes has passed... of course it's gone.

32. Jackie
    March 9th, 2009 at 7:43 pm

    It's water or a fountain of some kind that has been edited out of the second photo. Nice try. : )

    it's a guy carrying a chair down the sidewalk...

36. Frau
    March 9th, 2009 at 9:12 pm

    OMG!!! It is a talking beaver from the side of the road, dressed in bacon, carrying two table tops to an unattended highway sign that he has reprogrammed to read "zombies ahead." Anyone can see that. Geeez.

    If you look really close even on the posted picture here you can see his face through the clear plastic table. The tables are top to top with one set of legs pointing up, the other going behind his neck.
    In fact it's quite obvious a guy carrying tables just from the posted pic, just look at it close up, his shoes stand out too

39. Johnny Cat

    I still think it's a real angel.

41. samuel
    March 9th, 2009 at 11:37 pm

    It is a person with two tables on his back walking away.

42. Dave
    March 10th, 2009 at 12:02 am

    Now, come on; if it were an angel, he'd be putting those wings to use, doncha think?

    And what's with all the bile spewed over this post? What if the image captured some guy walking on tip-toe, wearing black or red with something looking like horns sticking out his head? Spirituality is only ok to discuss if it's from the dark side?

    why do people get so upset when the content of Neatorama isn't exactly what they believe it should be? there are a lot of things on this blog that i don't care to read but i don't get mad or even take the time to post a comment about how it's wrong of Neatorama to post such tripe. get over yourselves, or at the very least, scroll down and read on.

    at first thought "its an eva!"
    second thought "its a guy moving a table"
    third thought "there are some really dumb commenters here" [eric, karen, cluck]

45. Lexi
    March 10th, 2009 at 11:50 am

    Well since the time difference between the two exposures is about 15 mins, I'm going to say it was someone in a costume who walked down that pathway.

    If that's no angel...

    What's this supposed to mean?

    Why did so many people get upset about this? Alex seemed to be joking and others simply pointed out what the photo actually is but I dont understand the outrage that some people had about an "angel"

48. Thebes
    March 10th, 2009 at 8:57 pm

    Clearly two tables being carried by a man in white. What sort of nutter sees an "angel" here?

49. dani

    it was gone... FIFTEEN MINUTES after.

    Because it's "Hip and Edgy" to be anti-religious on today's innertubes by spoiled secular libtards
    perhaps if it was a pic of the Obamessiah they would be inclined to wax rhapsodic about the orgasms it induced

    15 minutes is a long time to say "… and soon after, the "angel" was gone"

    I support the theory that it is a man moving a table.
    Did you notice the lights (on the right hand side) are on when the man is out but as soon as he has finished his job he goes in and switches off the lights.

    Or were the lights left on for the Angel ?

    Its sad to see so many skeptics online. If the author believes is an angel then let him/her believe it is. There is no need to discredit someone because their beliefs and your logic doesn't coinside that's the beauty of faith. Everything isn't always backed by evidence
