Ghostly Claw Print
9/26/11-- I manage a motel in Tucson, Arizona. This past Saturday, a guest came to the front desk to complain that his room was haunted. He and his wife had checked in Friday night and were very pleased with their room. Upon waking up in the early hours, however, they discovered this ghostly, skeletal handprint on their headboard. The desk employee apologized and moved their room, then went to see for herself what had scared the couple so badly. This is the picture she took and texted to me. I have no explanation for it.

it looks like it's overlaid on another print.
Not saying it's fake but if you look to the left you can see, that would be cool if the person actually caught two print in one area.

im not challenging you,I would just like to know what part of the handprint suggests 'ghostly', or 'skeletal?
If you put ink on your hand and do a print it will come out thinner than it really is ,if you do the same with bones it will not look like the above.
So a hand looks like bones and a boneprint will look like something thinner than bones.

My suggestion is that it is a hand which has had some kind of fluid on it and it
also looks like the the back of a hand,which suggests to me that someone either slapped the headboard with it or they were attatched to the headboard when it was made.

And heres the rub,whoever you employ to clean the rooms is neglecting to clean the headboard!
much love.

On the other (ahem) hand,you could get the local press involved and business may go through the roof!
