Not really. She was rather overjoyed when she was reunited with her camera she had lost to the sea. The actual spooky part is that all her photographs were intact and retrievable in the memory card! Don’t be surprised if you soon see this inspiring tale of the camera’s grit and survival featuring as an ad for Canon, the company which had manufactured the camera.

The unthinkable feat was achieved by staff members of China Airlines who chanced upon the camera that had been washed ashore a beach in Taiwan (all the way from Hawaii). The real Sherlock Holmes work started when they studied the camera, of course, after washing off the barnacles and weed covering it. After tracing a couple of clues, they discovered the Hawaiian connection, and subsequently, created a Facebook page saying: “China Airlines is looking for you”. Mark Zuckerberg would be so proud; incidentally, he got married in Maui, the island where the camera had been lost.

Scallan couldn’t believe her luck. Memories lost ages ago, 5000 miles away, were suddenly revived for her. Such a happy tale, we tell you. Everybody happy—the owner, the rescuer, the messenger, the maker.
