Omar and Oscar are friends.
Both Oscar and Omar are from Mexico, staying at Plattsburgh State for a semester and then returning home. While they are here, they want tons of pictures that will aid in telling the story of traveling abroad.
One day, the pair was hanging out in Omar's fifth story dorm room in deFredenburgh Hall, fooling around with their digital cameras, when something out of the ordinary happened.
While they were snapping away, an unnoticed, as well as abnormal, entity entered the picture frame. A small black orb, with a blotch of light brown, marks the top right corner of the photo. In this orb, it is possible to decipher an eerie looking face staring out of the misty brown blotch.
"There were two pictures on two cameras in the same spot," said Omar Valera, a resident of Suite 54 in deFredenburgh Hall. "We were pretending to study, and I was lying on the bed."
Oscar Espinoza was sitting next to him, on a couch. They set the camera on a timer - they were the only two in the room.
Another camera snapped a matching picture. However, the photo was hastily deleted. The dark picture looks eerie, even without the ghoulish orb sitting in the corner.
A few days later, something even more strange happened. Nikko Milton, a fellow suitemate of Valera, was in Valera's room, and they were all talking about the mysterious picture. As a lighthearted joke, Milton began taunting the ghost.
"I was hitting the spot where the spot appeared," Milton said. "I must have had a fishing lure in my North Face (jacket), and it got snagged in my stomach."
It took a few hours to get the lure out and for the crisis to pass.
"It really freaks me out," said Espinoza, who appears in the picture with him.
"I try not to come around here as much. I'm not the kind of person who would see that kind of stuff as brave."
Valera stated that after the picture was snapped, numerous friends became uncomfortable in what was once a main hangout for his group of friends.
