i believe this was Konador's pic, someone correct me if im wrong, but this is the product of a photo thats levels were boosted and a girl seemed to have appeared in the shot

This is a picture a friend of mine shot while we were visiting and taking pictures at the ruins of an old hospital for people with tuberculosis. It is said that many people had died in this place and that it is not uncommon to spot ghosts.
Several of the group took the same picture almost at the same time, but the only one showing "the man" is this one.

I keep expecting someone to post a link to a flash/gif where you stare at it and then a monster pops up on the screen... :)

Yep this was a photo I took outside when I first got my 300D and it started snowing (not common where I live) so I went outside and took a few rubbishy snaps of my back garden.

The house is a little toy play house and can be seen in some of my DPC entries. The house has since been demolished.

Curves adjusted


Compared with a photo from roughly the same position during the day.

Lot of interesting shots, except for the orb. That is just dust. But those others are very nice captures!!!

I'm going to start a cat thread for those that had questions on that and asked. But aside from that, it is cool to catch paranormal. The only one I have is an actual orb photo. It's a double face orb. Took a trip to the Cob Cemetery around Halloween to take a photo for a "horror" photo contest,and was horrified myself! LOL...

Good going though. LOVE seeing the photos!!

If all 'orbs' are dust, rain, etc. why don't we capture them all the time? I've yet to get one?

Sent you a private message Rose;)

Not ALL orbs are dust or rain or snow, etc. There are actual phenomenon orbs, and it is those that are not caught all the time unless there is a lot of energies around where the shot is taken. Most orbs are actually dust though, and can be easily distinquished from the real by process of elimination as stated earlier.

I will check my email.

Um Yeah, if you don't care for this conversation, there are a LOT of other threads you can participate in that won't be so full of what you believe is crap? Just a suggestion, but I was not looking for sarcasim in starting this thread so it can be locked up from those that care to fully participate without the sarcasim.

Well, the key word to your orb post was "underground". That spells dust without even having to see the orb.

Most if not all shots taken underground, or where there is dirt, wind, a lot of people walking, etc, is going to produce dust.

The only thing that offended me was not that you said what I didn't want to hear, but that you were blatantly making it seem as if my words and view, and research, was nothing more than hokey crap. If you didn't mean it that way, then it was my mistake.

Im a person of Logic and Science, It has to be proven to me first, right now all your offering is a hypothesis, which is unproven. What testing and type testing to make it proven? Just proof is all Im asking.

For the believers verses non believers, here is a quote that was made by a Priest during the Lourdes apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette. He said "For those that believe, no evidence is necessary. For those that do not, no evidence is possible".

Therefore, there will always be the skeptic and there will always be the believer. It is just nature, and nature that has spanned to many years to count.

The scientists are quite happy to give a phenomenon a scientific explination. Fact is, if they don't have one, then they just chalk it up to a scientific happening that has yet to be given a name...LOL. Nothing more. Nothing less. Simply a happening with no explination yet. No technology "yet" discovered or made to give the proper explination. Then there are those with open minds and those that have actually experienced things they KNOW can never change their minds to it being scientific, and there you have believer verses non believer. And so the story goes....

AND psychically it seems I was already acknowledging what you would write when making my previous post to this one. But, would that be proof to you?

Those like yourself - most in the paranormal field would ask you if you actully believe in God. If you do, there has never been any "real" proof of Him either to us. The Bible says "blessed are those that have not seen yet believe". It isn't a matter of giving YOU proof. It is all individual and on an individual basis as to what each person believes. I have had experiences, so therefore I do believe in the paranormal. You evidently have not, so you don't. It is really that simple.

Not a Skeptic, It just has to make sense logically, and be able to be proven as fact, otherwise its just stories.. BTW, I don't talk about Religon, Politics, or my sexual prefrences. I feel it has no bearing on this present conversation anyways.

Actually, if it doesn't make "normal" sense, and is not a "proven to be normal fact", then it isn't just stories, but it is "paranormal". Paranormal doesnt just mean ghosts or hauntings. It just means it is an occurance that is not normal to what we know in this world - to put it in terms outside of Webster.

I am really not interested in your beliefs in religion, or politics, or your sexual preferences...LOL..so don't worry. I am just saying that in regular paranormal instances where conversation takes place such as yours, that is the common question asked. It was just an analogy.

Look, I have nothing against those with scientific and logic outlooks. I totally understand how some do not believe unless or until it happens to them. To me, that is logical to be nothing but stories to those like yourself in the interim. BUT, I do also ask you to respect those that do believe as well who don't need science to explain why they may have had a deceased grandmother visit them, or someone who passed speak to them through an EVP, etc. We don't want to diminish those experiences, and I for one don't care to diminish the scientific aspect either. I actually hope that scientifically most of what is called "paranormal" CAN be scientifically explained someday.

thank you konador for posting the images
 12/17/2005 11:33:05 PM · #47
The building I used to work in was an old hospital and was rumored to have at least two ghost, a Major in the Civil War Army and a nurse from the same era. One morning while shooting the full moon over the building I got this suprise in this image...hard to see in the lite window on this small image but you can see a nurse.

OK ok it is a fake that I created but fooled (and scared) a lot of people, even one historian who tried to buy the image from me to authenticate it. lol

I'd love to just click on these pictures and take a look at them. After seeing fotoman's picture. I was out of my shell. I never saw the face that he mentioned, but that dark black spot. I hallucinate easily when people start talking about these things.

Well, I live alone pretty often, so when the lights go out, these things occupy my head. I think I'm rambling. Sorry.

Rose, would you believe that some people still believe the earth is FLAT? Yes, there are quite a few people that believe the Earth as a globe fact is a conspiracy. They even offer a lot of "scientific" evidence that would "prove" the Earth is flat.

Now, why do I say that? Because, a skeptic is a skeptic, no matter how much proof you put in front of them.

I enjoy paranormal research too, probably not as involved as you are, but none-the-less I enjoy it. That's my reason for trying to disprove photos of paranormal activity. When I fail to disprove a photo, that will be proof to me. Let's keep the photos coming... There's enough photogs around here that someone must have something we can't blow off with a duster.

EDIT: Oh, btw... anytime I shoot at a graveyard or place that is supposed to be haunted I search every little detail of the shots. I search even harder if I had a wierd feeling. I've even gone so far as asking the ghosts to "Say Cheese" while shooting with the research group.

The idea of ghosts facinates me, and I'm pretty sure I saw one once. I'd love to take a pic of one, but I didn't really think the bubble was. But at least you saw the "people" too, I know I'm not nuts now!
Some of the ones posted here are creepy/cool. I've looked through a few online galleries, however, and have to agree with the others on this thread - a lot of dust and water, highlighted by onboard flash units and called orbs.
