The rooves and cielings are caving in all over this little abandoned campus. In the gymnasium, where this picture was taken, the cieling is metal; a tin alloy. As most of it is already laying all over the floor/ground, some of it is still hanging on to old nails and wooden studs. Therefore, it is completely rational to expect small, more corroded fragments of
rusted metal to break loose and fall to the ground from above at random intervals of time. I am proposing that the rope-like form in the picture could have been one of these rusty flakes
that fell directly in front of the camera at the exact instant the flash engaged. The color of
the rusty flake would be the same as or similar to that of the rope. Unless the flake were perfectly round, the jagged edges would cause it to spin and rotate as it descended, causing this twisted look. Since it was weak enough to break off from the metal left on the wood, small individual particles would break off from the outer edges of the flake and fall down-ward at the same rate but at angles tangent to the circular path of the spinning piece, creating the illusion of frays. Finally, because it would be a flat shape, it would feather from side to side on its way to the floor like a sheet of paper dropped from a desk. This motion would cause the crook in the form above, making it look more like a flaccid rope than a rigid stick.
Do I believe this theory? I think there is some messed-up demon at Frozen that
likes to scare tourists, but this explaination helps to keep me from feeling crazy and gullible
in retrospect of what I believe less and less each day.
