I am not sure what the name is of the plantation. Did you get any photos of Myrtles or Kings Tavern. Did you see any orbs?

Yeah, we could be blowing it out of porportion but the problem is and I promise you, there were no lights on in the place and no one inside. It was all locked up. Look at the pictures earlier on this forum, they were taken only seconds of each other.

i have some photos of the Myrtles but it was pre-digital camera so i'll have to find the pics and scan them. i only have one pic of the exterior online here.

unfortunately, i didn't see or hear anything at the Myrtles. i was so disappointed. it's a beautiful home, though, and the guided tour is fascinating.

Kings Tavern...different story. saw a ghost one night when a group of us went there for dinner. we were told that you could spend the night so we went to the 3rd floor to see the room (there's only one bedroom and a bathroom on the 3rd floor). we walk just inside the door of the bedroom and notice a man sitting in a chair in the corner. thinking it was another person checking out the room, we nodded a greeting and stood back in the doorway to chat with each other. we waited there for a bit and when we stepped back into the room, he was gone. we had been blocking the only exit from the room. we immediately ran downstairs and made reservations to spend the night...lol. i slept with my camera under my pillow but we never saw anything else. i get goosebumps just recalling that night...lol.

I am not at home right now. But when I get home I will have to share with you my "haunted train" that I took in January this year. It's in Abilene Kansas and you can see all sorts of faces. They say the history of this train is that it was a dinner cart and claims to be haunted. Can't wait to share my pictures!
Great capture of the ghost. Looks kind of like maybe and old slave maid or something. Gives me the creeps...makes you look around when you hear a noise. LOL...GREAT PIC!

I will be heading down to Houma this week with my fiance. I think I will swing by Oak Alley Plantation. I have been there once and was terrified to go near the place just from the look of it from the road. I will have to say that it is probably one of the creepiest looking plantations that we have here. All of the oak trees that line up the front really add much to the mood. I just dont think my fiance will come for the shooting.

Hey, have you ever seen the movie "Interview with a Vampire"? If so, if you can recall the plantation that Lestat had taken over, it is Oak Alley. I remember reading a story about the filming and how certain things would happen. I am going to have to find that story, it was really interesting. Do you think I should capture it at night or during the day? I have never been out there at night!

A lot of strange things happen on movie sets. When they were filming one of the poltergeist movies they contracted with a special effects company to provide corpses for the set. Turns out several of them were real.

This kind of talk freaks me out. I went to Port Arthur, an old convict prison in Tasmania, the most haunted place in Australia, we were there at night and I was taking photos, it is the only place where I have ever seen orbs in any of my photos.

Look on the left side of the train..second window from the left. There is a face there. There are numerous other faces if you look. sorry the picture isn't very big. took it long before I could figure out how to use my camera. (still learning)

Also this train that I posted just a while ago..they still let ppl ride this train I found out. They still use it as a dinner train. Suprised me! I remember taking this photo around January this year with snow on the ground and the clouds were full and sun was starting to set. Made this picture really interesting. The light you see wasn't there from the naked eye. I took several pictures of the train and the light was in 3 and not in 2. I checked to see if it was a reflection of anything..but still not sure about that.

Looking at the original photo, I was looking at the shadows tossed by the ?fire alarm? box on the wall, to the top right of the window. The two shadows indicate that there is light coming from the sides to the wall from the left and right, hence the possiblity that there is light being to be reflected to the window.

It looks like the bright spot is a reflection of the column as illuminated by the light on the left of the window, and the spots in the middle of the window is the light on the right column (sort of square, with a couple of reflective sources up and to the right of the square source).

At least that's what the '49'er in the chains behind me is whispering...

I really wish to belive this one.... but it has to be a reflection. I shoot metalics for a living and never ceases to amaze me what I see in the refelctions of metal after I took the shot. The eye just doesn't notice as much in real life as it does in photographs.

I do dig ghosts.
