Apparition of A Cat

After school, which was a long day full of searching for my next blipfoto, I arrived home starving for good food and a great viewpoint in my camera. I grabbed my camera and ran straight upstairs. After many mirror shots and pictures of antiques, I still could not find my inspiration for the day. I was feeling quite let down, so my beautiful black cat Salem decided to rub against my leg in reassurance. I decided to snap a photo of him. I didn't have the flash on and the room was already unlit. I asked him to stop moving so that i could get a good picture, but just as he stood still and I took the picture, he moved in the blink of an eye. I was frustrated until I looked at the photo. It came out unbelievable. Now one question to this photo remains:Is what I'm seeing just a malfunction in my camera? Or is it the reality of the Apparition of A Cat?
