POPE webcam: DEBUNKED

Why aren't the people/priests in the video LOOKING over at the light when it appears? Anyone would be shocked and watching the light that suddenly appears. They don't. They just keep praying. The only reason they wouldn't be stunned and staring at the apparition, is if it wasn't IN THE ROOM! This is from the camera or something. We are all human and everyone of us would have turned and watched this light. They don't...

Great point! never thought about that

At the risk of sounding even more flaky than I am, I got the same results when I took pictures in the Colosseum in Rome. When I got the pictures developed, the person I was with, a fellow attny, was shocked - he was even afraid to touch the pictures.

So - great catch OP - I believe it man.

Thanks OP for the upload of the inverted pic

Well, the timestamps of the pics and the black thingy on the inverted pic debunk the sunlight theory. Besides, it wasnt the first time the sun was shining and things like that should have been seen before then.

That's really interesting! with everyone saying its sunlight, and the cam being online for a while now - why is it TODAY we see the sunlight for the first time?

I'm not going to attempt to explain anything to you....

you have already repeatedly demonstrated your stupidity on the subject.... to the point where the thread was pinned...

now everyone can see how stupid you are!

bravo OP!

Exactly! sunlight just today?
The inverted pic shows a human figure

not if it was a reflection off of something round...

comon you guys!

I have been wondering about the same thing. And if it was a "apperation" the vatican would be all over this by now. It would be in the news like 2007 with the shape in the fire

no it doesnt


like I said prior to this post...if it was sun reflecting off of something round across a large room (like the one they are in) it would move very quickly....

you guys are not thinking 4th dimensionally.....

I should design a Pope shirt about Chuck Norris being afraid of ghosts.

Don't get mad because you've been debunked Chuck.

Wasn't there an episode of Texas Ranger where a poltergeist put him in a choke hold?

I dont believe in an actual "apperation" or a ghostly appearance. I rather suspect the church in trying to pull something funny. Thats why I seek a explanation.

Of course, reflection came to my mind at first, even thought of someone wearing tinfoil

A reflection from something across the room would make that glow, but would it also make that black shape in the inverted pic?

Calm down i watch this all the time and was watching it when i saw that too , it IS the sunlight and saw it when it was happening ,nothing to see here

you cant be serious.....

light reflecting off a bending object moves faster than that of a flat surface....

its common sense....

the fact that the light moved in the same direction at an exact angle proves my theory correct....

Sunlight reflection =/= ghost

yes.....white light inverted turns black....

this isn't rocket science...

Anybody that put Chuck Norris in a choke hold is certainly a ghost now.

I think we all need to see what happens tomorrow, I got these at 6:30 am eastern. Someone get up and grab some caps in the morning.

Well, what time is it there then if its 6:30 am eastern?

Hey RayGUN

thanks.....right back at ya, brother!

The inverted picture is rather...convincing. Convincing that, indeed, there may be something here. Every Pope in the last 600 years is probably doing something in their grave lol.

OP how much they paying you for this? Must be nice to have a job scamming people. We all know it's not a ghost and it was pointed out several times.

The time stamp on the picks say it's about 12:00 12:30 in the afternoon, so they are about 6 hours ahead of eastern time.

I'm not scamming anyone, I'm just lettin' the lava flow

perverted catholic church set to burn in hell

Not being funny OP ,but i did see this happening yesterday as well, it IS the sun honestly .Crying Ghost is just stupid

I will have a look tomorrow around the same time. Will be around noon here in germany and in italy.
would be a bummer if it was rainy tomorrow. I dont know what the actual building looks and where sunlight would enter the building.

The only way I could see it being sunlight is if the object the sun was reflecting off was moving. The light traveled across the entire camera view in about 15 minutes or less. The one picture that was inverted (before inversion) really is odd. It may be a light source but I don't think it was the sun.

Webcams are not unusual, I have them for the Macinac Bridge, an eagles nest with baby eagles, Lourdes live, etc.They are for security, also.

My husband and I were in Rome last fall for the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha, a young Mohawk woman who died in the 1600s. I had ten pounds of mementoes with that I promised those who couldnt attend I would get blessed. I had sprained my ankle and chipped my kneecap in a fall the day before and had crutches.

We went into the tomb of JPII and the guard let us go in ahead of the line...only so many at a time can go in. I went right past the kneelers at the front and to the right side to the table top kneelers and began to spread out all the rosaries, holy cards,petitions and so on. The guard was talking to someone and didnt stop me. My husband was beside me. As we prayed, a warmth seemed to envelop us and a feeling of serenity and love. My husband was freaking out about it and I just shushed him and thanked John Paul for blessing us and the little things for the old people and others back home. I got up and felt no pain any longer. two weeks later I was well enough to hang up my Italian crutches. Since I have LUpus, a fast healing without a flair was exceptional.
