A Ghostly Image (orb) On Halloween Photo! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fleet · 11-06-2004, 06:11 PM

Ever since I've been taking photos of "The Hallowed Haunting Grounds," I have always hoped a ghostly image would appear. Well, one finally did!

See photo below.
This photo was taken with a flash, but I put a few pieces of tissue in front of the flash so it wouldn't be too bright.
The skeleton on the far right and the shrouded ghoul on the bottom are, of course, props. When I had this photo developed, I was completely unprepared to see that streak of light (orb). I talk to the creator and operator of this show every year and ask him what he has added that is new, and that mysterious light is not part of his show. I know it's not the camera strap because I don't use one.

Any comments? Could it really be an unexplained image?
I have sent this pic to the "Ghost Study" website.

It looks mysterious to me Fleet. I can't speak to the ghost aspect of it because I don't know anything about that phenomenon. When will you hear back from the Ghost Study website?

I have been reading a lot lately about ghosts.(Haunted Michigan, More Haunted Michigan) And they say that cemetery's are the perfect places to catch these"orbs" on camera. I find it utterly fascinating!

I already got an email from them. They said they may not get back to me unless they use the photo on the website. It does say that on the website--- there may be no personal response, so I expect it either way (response or no response).

I have tried taking a few photos at a local cemetery but nothing came out. However, these were daytime pics... I plan to try some night photos and see what comes out.

It is fascinating. I mean not all of these mysterious photos can be explained.

That's a cool photo. I wish I could take a picture someday that would look like a ghostly image. It is quite fascinating.

Just keep taking pictures. Maybe someday you will find something unexplained.
BTW, the website, http://www.ghoststudy.com has a lot of ghost photos. Look under "Our world famous ghost gallery."
