My ghost story from today

Trail cameras, like disposable cameras, use what's called a full-flash discharge. A light that snaps bright and at full power at first in a sudden burst, and then gradually fades out. The rain drops look like they're traveling upwards because the flash, which bursts it's full power in a split-second, catches the drop and freezes it in place, but the tail comes from the fade out of the flash...

Here are a couple other examples of this:

It was a warm, clear fall evening, no rain or snow.
Edit: and don't worry about being skeptical. I'm not saying this is proof positive that these are ghosts. I'm open to an explanation.

At first I thought it was just bugs but even lightening bugs don't light up a shot like that, and trail cams are activated by motion so if bugs were going to set it off they'd have thousands of pictures like this. Problem there is the same trail cam has been set up in the same location many times and this is the only time it's ever taken pictures like this.

Oklahoma. Farming Aunt and Uncle own a large chunk of land just north of Twin Bridges Park on Grand Lake of the Cherokees. These trail cam photos were taken on their land.

Same place this happened, different house though.

As we were walking around their land one day my cousin tells me a story I remember his mom telling my parents back when my cousin and I were just kids and it goes like this.
They were staying at her parent’s place one night when my cousin’s Teddy Ruxbin started going off. Just out of the blue started talking, going through its normal recorded routine and wouldn’t shut up waking up my cousin and his mom. He said his mom picked it up and flipped it over to look in the battery compartment, did a double take then flipped the thing back over and looked at it all the while this thing continues going off. She then walked outside with it and my cousin said he drifted back off to sleep only to wake up when she came back inside. When he asked where his Teddy Ruxbin was she said, “When I went to take the batteries out there were none so I started a fire and burned it.”

On a side note, it's always cracked me up that she killed it with fire.

You'd be surprised how many UFON reports have been filed in MO...

I always thought those would be MuRon reports.

Moisture or bugs is generally what they are. Trail cam could of had something else set it off and it took those pics
