Photo of a family around a campfire, taken in Colorado. 

Behind us, the figure of an old woman with a pitchfork/spear in black gloves appears in the bright light.

This was done at 21:28 in 2021 in Colorado, near the Rocky Mountains National Park. This was the third Airbnb we stayed at during our trip and the whole trip, my uncle joked about Airbnb having bad feng shui (this term refers to a good balance in your living space). It was such a frightening night.

My uncle earlier on the trip also had a very bad nightmare in the 2nd Airbnb. He woke up screaming, thinking that someone was killing him. At that time, he had never had such a terrible dream lately.

And to this day. I still get a little scared thinking about the haunting experience of that trip with the four big Airbnbs we stayed at.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source

The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.

From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Unfortunately, due to the use of dark spots to cover faces in the photo, it will definitely not be possible to put it on, but with a high degree of probability it is a glare from the fire. In the outlines of the figure, you can see the similarity with the inverted flames of a bonfire.
