Do you believe in ghosts?

[vaporshi]

I have no clue where to find either of those people. I've been searching for forums where I can post these photos but so far I haven't seen anything that specializes in the weird stuff that happens in photography.

Here's 2 other photos that I took right before the initial photo:

Fog around my ex's hand.


This photo came precisely before the other one. It's like the fog was far away and it came closer.

Spooky stuff there. Odd how those lights in the BG lined up just right so it almost has eyes...

I would be sooo tempted to bust down the wall behind the door (assuming there's a wall?) because there's gotta be something behind there!

Well, Stan (dad's friend) didn't OWN the house so we couldn't. Trust me, we were tempted too.

for the alien part of it, yes we have tryed to contact outer life, and no they have no coincidence with "ghosts" or "spirits."

the pictures shown with orbs and such can be taken with any camera several times, and 9 times out of 10, the pictures will still display the same. orbs are most commonly mistaken for rain. its been tested, and there is nothing wrong with the camera. i have some pictures somewhere in an old theatre i took that i should scan. it was on a class trip to newyork.

So what are ORBS made of?

[DarkBlueYoshi]

I think it's something to do with the lighting in the picture. Not totally sure, but I guess it's something like that.

According to the website I posted which nobody seems to have been bothered to look at:

Orbs! The name conjures up little balls of white light. Most orb photographs are taken with digital cameras under extremely low-light conditions and are nothing more than digital flaws caused by lack of pixelation or filling of the proper colors due to a digital defect. I have viewed thousands of such pictures and they are nothing paranormal, especially when taken with older digital cameras. See the article: Digital Cameras or Ghost Hunting at its Worst by Troy Taylor. Solution: always use another camera in conjunction with any digital camera especially under low-light conditions. Those not taken with digital cameras could be moisture droplets in the air illuminated by the flash unit, rain, blowing dust, snow or sometimes even small insects. Please be aware of the weather conditions under which you take your photographs.

Ah ha! I was right! Ohhh I'm SO good! *bricked*

Haha, I find this funny, this thread is being filled with more and more 'experiences' people have had, as for Vappy and Coral, I don't particularly doubt them seeing as they've been able to remember a good number of details, but I love how anyone that shows any slight disbelief gets bowled over by many many wild claims. I also noticed no one even bothered to look at Frog's link, or really listen to him.

Right, for the real reason I typed this post, I remembered one experience I did have that might have had to do with paranormal activity, seeing as what happened couldn't under normal circumstances. I was young, about 10, and my mother and I had been playing FF7 like madpeople then. Well, one time I decided to try and play ahead, and popped Disc 3 (that's how far we were, TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! !) in, and turned the game on, everything went nice and dandy, until I entered a random battle. In which it suddenly shifted to a CGI scene from the FIRST disc, now what's weird was, the character models were all gone. It was just the backgrounds and the music. And I've not been able to find any cases of this happening before. Perhaps my PSX was haunted? *shrug* >.=.>

The idea of ghost has always been a perplexing one. I've never really believed in any ideas of what a ghost may be or if they even exist. There are so many things people say in these days that just make it sound more and more false. Like many have said, there are certain things that are mind can do, such as seeing things from light and misinterpreting a scene. Thats where we get illusions and optical illusions. You can't always be sure if something is there. I suppose it gives a nice feeling if they were, but that would merely be a point to prove life after death which is a religous ordeal. In a small way the belief of ghost could wrap right around your religous factor. You might believe that after death ensues you that you could surely live again in some other form. You might believe you won't, or you might believe your soul goes straight to another place. Either way, they can't be proven by but mere word and certain technogical machines that have been produced. You can't be sure of what you see or what you hear, so were always warned; the same does not change for this matter.

Some label ghost as creatures who stalk after entering purgatory. With life long goals that they still need to complete before they can continue on. I've never really fallen into that belief. In fact, the idea of ghost as I said is an interesting one. Yet, it's something I just can't seem to swing to. I've always adored the stories, and writers who would focus on events wrapping around ghost and other things like that. I'm not saying I surely disbelieve everything about them. A point to living is being proven wrong. I've never had a real ghost experince, and if so it's not worth talking about. Though, I've always enjoyed the "myth" that the first few years you are born you will have experinces with ghost, and the last few years you are alive you will have experinces with ghost. It's supposed to be a loop or something. I suppose the stories and the ideas are grand to hear and see what could be, but I just can't step beyond the line of reality and what isn't.

I suppose there is only one way to really know this, and I would hope that the answer is a very far off one. Sometimes yes we all hear voices, we all see something. Usually just out of the corner of our eyes. We always sware that we were touched, but then again the minds an interesting tool. You can hear things, because you remember them, because you fear them. I've sworn twenty times I've heard my father yell to be quiet when I listen to my radio; I sware that I can very easily hear his voice even when he's not home. I suppose it's just something thats grown accustomed in my mind. Most things I've heard have grown off of issues, and most times that I feel that erie aura is when the lights are out and silence sufficates. Yet, darkness and silence is the only time we can reflect upon certain matters, it's when we're alone, the one thing you don't want to always be. Though... if they did exist, and every point taken was always right on and the truth; I'd actually enjoy that.

like i said, fear mixed in does a number with the mind. most of the time, you are just imagining it. fear brings in a real experience, creating an image, sound, touch.
magnesium, found in some of the stones used to build "haunted" houses, or mansions, is probably one of world's oldest time recorders. magnesium records sounds, and other waves, that were made in the past a long time ago. somtimes it plays back loud noises, walking sounds, and can even give you serviere headaces. bad pipeing in a house, mice, a house sinking/rising on bad land, can also be other sorces of activity.
yes, there are such things as ghost hunters, but they try to prove that ghosts dont exist. everything cannot be proven, thats what im trying to get at.

I looked at the link, I just didn't have much to say about it. I am thinking of sending in the photos though.

Also on the site he posted there's a ghost photo right here (www.ghostresearch.org/ghostpics/gettys.html) that has the EXACT type of fog as in my photo.

My camera isn't an old shady digital camera --it's brand new, top of the line and has yet to show any defaults. I don't know why everyone is talking about orbs either because I'm talking about FOG. XD; Those orbs in the background are lights from the houses on the street. Those are nothing paranormal.

[Gene L.D. Ryoko]

that fog stuff is called ectoplasm

[yoshi4evr]

Ohh yes EctoPlasm it means outer-something and i think that ghostsr r made of that too

[vaporshi]

Ohman, I was just looking at one of the photos and I found a clear figure of a bearded man. I drew an outline of it so you can see what I saw:




Real or not that fog is scary-looking.

[roshie]

Hey that looks scary... But i think its just fog... Really!
THAT IS FOG... Or it is car fog...

EDIT: The first one was real thou!

[roshie]

The orbs are lights. We were standing on the street behind some houses where the front porches were lit and it showed up in the picture.

I've looked over all the pics time and time again and I cannot explain the fog scientifically. I can explain the orbs and other blurry things in the camera but the fog doesn't make sense to me.

[Koshizu]

Ectoplasm is annoying as hell...I hate washing machines.

I believe in ghosts.

...that is all I have to say really.
