H.P. Lovecraft's Ghost?

Graveside ghosts appearing out of camera artifacts is nothing new. However, this entry at the literary-equine blog questions the possibility that H.P. Lovecraft's ghost made an appearance on camera in a 2000 graveside visit. The orange haze pictured in the top left of the photo is the object of curiosity. Exhibiting no particularly Lovecraftian features and just the vaguest outline of human form, the most likely explanation is that it's just one more film anomaly randomly generated to sensationalize the imagination.

Whatever the case, the mysterious blur is appropriate enough for a picture at Lovecraft's tombstone. Who doesn't love the inexplicable memento, especially the ambiguously paranormal kind? Incidentally, Chris Perridas reports that this incident was the subject of a recent call on the Coast to Coast AM radio show by the photographer.
