Seriously, the guys were taking shots of Arron's back yard, the debris, damaged trees, etc. from Katrina. We actually took them to pick up the photos after they were developed, and I was there when they opened the envelope and when Chris freaked out about what was on the photo. You can't even see the back yard because of that 'thing' in the way. It's on the negative too.
there have been others who've gotten things like that in their pics. My friend who used to give (until Katrina) tours in New Orleans (haunted tours, voodoo tours, etc.) took a pic of a friend of hers in front of the Cornstalk B&B and there was something like that in front of the image.
People who've gotten these things in pics, and some who haven't (including us) have tried to re-create that mass of whatever... using smoke... and we haven't been able to get anything even remotely like that.
Oh, and the pics posted here are bad quality, too, because they're a photo of a photo (so I could get them online). Once I scan the original... you'll be able to see more clearly what it is, and I plan on uploading to my site the full size scan (wallpaper size) so people can get as close a look as possible to see that it's not anything man-made.
