Ghost Hunt

Hello everyone, and happy Halloween, Samhain or Day of the Dead, depending on what part of the world you hail from. And welcome to this, my web log. To any of you who may know me personally, yes, I have finally decided to join the virtual age. Why, you ask. Why not?

To kick off my blog, I've decided to post some pictures I took last Saturday. And not just any pictures. These are from a genuine ghost hunt. Of course, anyone who looked at the title of this post probably already guessed that.

Now, while I believe in spirits (other than the ones at my local pub), I'm not the kind of nut who claims that every single anomaly in a photograph is a ghost. Of the nineteen pictures I took, only a handful are interesting. Of those, anything unusual on them can probably be explained away by spots on the film, a developer's mistake or debris on my scanner.

But enough about what I think. I want to know what you think. Look at the pictures and decide for yourself what they show.

Though faint, if you look at the camera in the picture and then move your eyes up, you can make out a small circle. My roommate insists it's the moon, but I'm not so sure...




This one also shows a possible orb, or more likely a flaw on the film. In any case, it's in the top right corner.

This one gave me a bit of a turn. An object or the shadow of an object seems to be covering that pole. An object I don't recall being there when I was taking pictures.


Normally, I would have dismissed this as light coming off of someone else's camera. However, it bears an uncanny resemblence to the above shadow.

So are these pictures definitive proof of the afterlife or the ravings of a bored blogger? Prehaps a bit of both. But whichever it is, on this night of all nights, it's always a good idea to take the time remember that there are things we don't know.

Good night, everyone, and good luck.
