The Ghost at Southpark Mall

Can you help solve the mystery???

C'mon, play along...it'll be bloggin' good fun, I promise! Let me give you the history of the ghost and how we found her:
Rick was looking through the newest posts on our blog last week, when he saw something peculiar, the more we looked at it--it wasn't peculiar--it was strange, and then after we analyzed it for a while, it became downright spooky. We actually had to leave the house to stop her from haunting us. Are you curious? Good. Now follow the directions carefully (it's more fun that way).
FIRST: Go back to the post about Uncle Randy & Aunt Stacey visiting (just scroll down a few inches), and LOOK at--don't touch!--the picture of them holding Jack & Sam. Don't read anymore until you've done that.

SECOND: Did you see any apparitions? If yes, you've got a good eye, and you found our ghost! If you didn't see her, go back and click on the picture (that will make it larger). Okay, stop reading, and do it!

THIRD: Surely, by now, you've found her just above Jack's left shoulder. Are you a little spooked? Rick and I kept coming up with explanations (and reasons they weren't viable)--maybe she was walking behind them, and the camera caught her (okay, but she's way out of proportion. They are leaning against one end of the fountain, and it's a good 15-20 feet wide); maybe the camera lens somehow caught her image and inserted it behind them (why is she black & white?). After several minutes of trying to explain the ghost away, we determined we had to find the answer. Why was this ghost haunting our son?

Mystery Solved. We packed up the boys and took a field trip back to the mall. We anxiously walked through the parking deck, down the southern wing of the mall to the center fountain area and then...we saw her! She is perhaps the spookiest looking model we've ever seen plastered onto a poster for David Yurman (a high-end designer). The advertisement is a close-up of her, and that explains why she's so out of proportion with everyone else in the picture. Rick and I looked at each other and laughed in relief. Hope you had fun--thanks for playing!
