A new book claims the infamous photograph which appears to show The Doors' Jim Morrison's ghost is "simply unexplainable." I'm not sure why it isn't inexplicable, but why mince... words?
Anywho, rock historian, Brett Mesiner, stopped by Morrison's Paris grave in 1997. His assistant took a photograph of the author and it was promptly forgotten. Five years later, they noticed something peculiar about the photo which set the Web on fire: You can clearly see what appears to be the dead Doors' singer and songwriter behind Mesiner, arms outstretched in a Christ-like position!
There were many other visitors that day and no one noticed the figure, nor was it captured on any of their photos or video (at least, none have come to light). Meisner had both the picture and the negative analyzed by experts who ruled-out a "trick of the light," and said technical manipulation seems "unlikely."
Meisner's marriage broke-up and a close friend died of a drug overdose after the picture was taken. Meisner added that hundreds of people have shown-up, uninvited, on his doorstep, claiming to have received messages from the late Jim Morrison, and so forth. Meisner is looking to donate the picture and negative to a reputable organization, as he obviously considers it unlucky.
