A ghost story

In September 2016 my wife and I visited the Law's Railroad Museum near Bishop, California. It covers a large area - 11 acres or so. It exhibits the old Laws Railroad station and depot, plus a variety of historic buildings from the late 1800's.

Of the many buildings we visited, one of them was a doctor's office. A guy was sitting on a bench in front of the office. When we were about to enter he said: "It's very creepy in there" to which we responded that we like creepy. Inside, all kinds of surgical tools, medicine bottles, etc. were exhibited from those days.

I didn't have my DSLR with me, and acquired some photos with my iPhone. Suddenly, when I pointed it in a certain direction, my camera app drew the yellow square in the scene; the one that it draws around faces when it recognizes them as such. But there was no one there. Perhaps the random distribution of bottles and cans with labels made the app believe there was a face?
