| API Case Log (Part 1 of 4) – Investigation Proper | |||||
 Abductboy (Lead Researcher) started the Investigation with a brief intro on the Case |
 It was followed by self introduction of all present – from left: Fatzombie (Linguist Specialist), Huili (Event Manager), Squall11 (Guest) |
||||
 Dbeckham (Support Specialist) |
 Abductboy whispered that both Photographer “Agent 9” and Andy (Guest Investigator) did not want to be seen |
||||
 CoolFun (Webmaster) |
 Ah Boy (Media Setup Support) |
||||
 Amethyst (Holistic Specialist) |
 Abductboy briefed that the MRT Ghost Photo was not a digtal photo but one taken with a film camera. |
||||
 The investigation kicked off with a analytic discussion on what most people would perceived the photo to be. Some said it was a work of Photoshop, some said it was a ghost. |
 The Investigating Team was then asked to analyse how they think about the MRT Ghost photo. The Team peered closely at the photo. |
||||
 CoolFun sharp eye was able to make out a Chinese word partially exposed |
 CoolFun suggested 2 possible words |
||||
 Abductboy then went into Stage 2, which is to show them how to look for flaws in alleged ‘ghost photos' “Always analyse, don't just laugh it away.” |
 This photo showed a person sitting on the kerb, with a white lady outside. He showed them the telltale sign that revealed this photo wasn't taken in Singapore |
||||
 Abductboy also showed everyone why the Ghost seen in Butun bridge was not a fake. |
 The promising photo of a alleged apparition squeezed inside an I-Beam was shown to be just a naturally caused phenomenon. |
||||
 Now that the training on “How to Analyze Ghost Photos” was done, abductboy explained on very ‘normal conditions' can result into a seemingly paranormal event, like the MRT Ghost photo. After that, he proceeded to explain on how the investigation would be pan out |
 In the dim lights the A.P. Investigators walked across the road and into the Marina Bay MRT |
||||
 Going straight to the last Carriage, 2nd last chamber, the Photographers stand ready |
 Our ‘guinea pigs, DBeckham, CoolFun and Huili |
||||
 Then our Photographer “9 ”, made the observation that the seats were the wrong color . The we quickly left for the other train. But look at the poster. Doesn't it looked as if there were really people going up the escalators??!! |
 At the other train, the seats were blue. We also found the exact place. This time abductboy compared the side framing of the SMRT Poster with that in the ‘ghost' photo. It was a match! |
||||
 While our ‘models sat there and smile |
 We the photographers were busy snapping away |
||||
 Abductboy took photos from different location, in order to capture that exact same photo position as the Ghost photo |
 I think this time we made it |
||||
 The photo taken was compared with the alleged Ghost Photo |
 With the photo location confirmed, abductboy further showed that the gap between the SMRT poster and the train bosy was too narrow for anyone to be standing there |
||||
 With the mission accomplished for that night, the A.P.Investigators prepared to leave the station |
 Up .. Up …Up… we go… |
||||
 DBeckham was asked to ask for feedback from Squall11. But they both appeared to stiff when answering |
 Abductboy then followed by describing in details how that night Investigative Programme panned out |
||||
 Abductboy thanking Squall11 for joining A.P.Investigators in the ‘hunt for the MRT Ghost' |
 Abductboy also thanked Andy, our Guest Investigators from another local paranormal-based group |
||||
