A real photograph on soaked 35mm colour-negative film, scanned through a soft vintage lens perspective with moderate depth of field and chunky organic grain interrupted by irregular emulsion disturbance, magenta, cyan and amber clouds mottling the periphery with partial density loss while the centre keeps photographic detail. An apparition at a doorway in a tall frame: a pale translucent adult figure in a long grey coat standing motionless in an open wooden doorway of an old farmhouse at dusk, the hall behind it dim and the porch boards in front of the threshold.
Light: diffuse overcast dusk light nearly shadowless, the figure half transparent so the hall shows through its coat, uneven magenta and cyan emulsion clouds at the edges, amber fading around the lintel, chunky grain; palette of grey, cyan, magenta and amber; hushed, still, uncanny.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame. One calm adult-coded fictional apparition: a pale translucent figure in a plain long coat or dress with a softly blank face, not a bedsheet or costume, no skulls, no blood, no gore, no children, no readable text.
