The Ghost of Shakespeare Garden

tags: ,

Photographic proof of the existence of the "Ghost of Central Park's Shakespeare Garden" is available for the first time. It's existence was news to me. Having never heard a rumor that the place was haunted I was doubly shocked to have stumbled on the provocative and eerie scene at just the right moment. I assure you that the photo was not concocted in Adobe Photoshop or some other software. It's a genuine image. So what is the spectral figure lurking in the shadows?

The photographic solution follows tomorrow.

Aw, there's a little kitty in there... I actually see something relatively similar when sitting in my living room from time to time. The smallest of the cats I have, Charlotte, loves to sit in a little hole in the scratching post and look out into the other room, so I usually see the eye shine from the tapetum lucidum when the light is just right.

I bet it's got big nashy teeth!

I agree with Laelaps - looks like a cat.
There are a number of other animals common to the area (like raccoons), which also have a structure similar to a tapetum lucidium.

I'll guess that it is a pussy cat.
