I have to confess that I am a big fan of the spanish mistery television show from channel Cuatro, Cuarto Milenio. This doesn't mean that I believe everything that appears in it, but the truth is that I am fascinated by these themes.
Lately they have spoken widely about te case of Carla Moran. It is story that I have always found really interesting; not so much by the fact itself, but more by everything that surrounded it... Let me explain myself: Carla Moran (also known as Doris Bither, her alleged real name), was a woman that lived in a town called Culther (not Malice), and that claimed that she was being raped by an entity/ghost/presence. She contacted the parapsicology team from the University of California, headed by doctors Barry Taff and Kerry Gaynor. And this is what I find more amazing, that it was a deeply documented case.

And probably this is the reason why it generated a book and a movie, The Entity [*] (of which the director of Ringu, Hideo Nakata [*], and James Wan [*] were allegedly preparing a remake, remakes that never arrived).
From the many photos taken during the investigations carried by the University team (as well as videos, that seem to be lost), the most famous are these two:

But my favourite photo is this one:
These photos were the inspiration for some of the movie's moments:
Keeping aside what we think of what appears in the photos (real, accident, fiarce...), the photos are fabulous themselves: everybody surrounding Carla Moran, her pose holding her head, the elipse of light over her... I don't know why, but it somehow reminds me the picture of the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald.
