Problem : wrong images displayed with sharing buttons (facebook)

Hello,
There’s a problem with the theme sharing functions. If I try to share an article on Facebook, it displays the wrong image : not the image linked to the article but another random image available on my website but which is not even on the same page.
I tried sharing with only the theme sharing buttons enabled and also with a plethora of other sharing plug-ins but the problem remains the same.
I use the Yoast SEO plugin ans I also used it to try and force the right image on Facebook but it stil doesn’t work.
Here’s a link if you need to check : http://www.ohmyculture.fr/2012/10/dracula-version-jeunesse-chez-auzou/
Could you help me with that ?
Thanks a lot !

For facebook to work correctly the Open Graph meta data have to be done right so facebook can pull the image from that article…

Facebook routinely shows wrong image from posts — nothing to do with your site or theme. They often ignore the OG tags, which is bizarre. I share dozens of items every day across multiple sites, including manually pasting URL into an update in FB – sometimes they grab a random image, or one which loads more quickly or is larger in size, or which is the first one in middle of post.

There is no 100% way to specify the right image for FB, you’re basically just “hinting” it for them.
