The Edinburgh Bagman

We need your help and your expertise.

The following picture came to us from across the Pond. A young woman from Scotland and we are including her description:

A friend of mine and I spent last weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland, and took a photo of an arch of a bridge. The picture shows an abnormality we have no explanation for and we would like to analyze the figure on the opposite side of the road in front of the wall.

The picture was taken at Cowgate, Edinburgh, and the arch you see is the only visible arch of the South Bridge. The date & time set on the camera are not correct – the picture was taken on August 2nd at around 10:45 pm. The camera & setting details are the following:

Camera maker: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.

7.2 Mega Pixels Digital Camera

Model: EX-Z12

Settings used for the photo: Highest resolution, ISO speed: 400, no zoom

What looks like a person walking on the pavement under the bridge cannot be a real person - when my friend took the picture, I was standing right behind her to look at what she was capturing and I am 100% sure that there was no one walking along at the time the picture was taken. I was so startled when I saw the picture on the display that I immediately took the camera and had a closer look at the photo. We took a few other pictures of the same scene immediately afterwards to see whether we’d capture it again, but we didn’t.

All of the original material has been confirmed as having come from that camera and was determine to be unedited at the time of examination. There were several other pictures that showed her manipulations, but we have left those out.

Here are the picture description.

1. The night time shot of the Bagman

2. The picture taken right after

3. A picture taken from the same spot the next day

4. A close-up of the left wall where the Bagman was seen from the right wall

Take these pictures and do what you do. Run them through your editing software and play with them and try to come up with the best explanation of what the Bagman can be.

Please remember to send any photo manipulations you send have to have what you did to them and the settings you changed,
