Ok ere are the originals...I have brightened then the best I can...but the guy I have fixing them up can obviously do a better job, and I will let you guys know what I find out.........

In all the pics you're attension should be on the three trees on the right of the pic....these pics were all taken within seconds of eachother....

In this first one you really can't see much...John swears he sees a barly visible figure popping out from behing a tree....but i can't


In the second one...you can see something behind and near the seond tree down....there are lots of "orbs"...but i don't pay much mind to them......


In the third one....the "orbs" are gons, and you can see a slight sillouette behind that middle tree again......


The forth one...this one creeped me out.....there appears to be someone crouching behind the same tree


Ad in the fifth one...the orbs are back...but they have taken on more of a firefly apperance...though neither john our friend jim or I saw any fireflys with our naked eye


I know they don't seem like much...but once perfessionally cleaned up..maybe i can get some clearer answers........Hope you enjoy...and if you see things that I have missed, or have any answers they would be much appreciated

Wow, Bridget, those pictures are eerie! I'll be interested to see the results when you get them cleaned up.

I am a big believer in ghosts/spirits as well. When I was very little I have memories of a glowing presence near my bed that I used to talk to in the middle of the night. The memory has become increasingly vague over the years, but there was something very comforting about it and the feeling still lingers with me 20+ years later. I think it was my guardian angel/spirit guide. I also had an experience as a young adult once when I was traveling in Ireland. I became very ill with a terrible sinus infection. Although I had already seen 2 doctors and was taking antibiotics it just kept getting worse and my family was on the verge of bringing me to a hospital. As we were driving we noticed something at the side of the road, so we stopped the car and my mother got out to investigate. It turned out to be a small shrine to St. Brigid. My mother insisted that I get out of the car and say a prayer at the shrine (we're Roman Catholic). Even though I was weak and feverish I did it. That night I awoke to a soft glowing blue light hovering at the foot of the bed. The oddest thing is that I wasn't the slightest bit afraid. I remember thinking to myself, is this real? and pinching myself to see if I was really awake. The experience lasted probably just a few seconds and then the light started to recede and disappeared. When I woke up the next morning I was like a new person! Other than some minor residual congestion I was the picture of health and was able to fly home the next day as planned. Everyone was amazed considering how sickly I had been just the previous day. I don't know whether the light was St. Brigid, my guardian angel, the Blessed Mother or what but someone was obviously looking out for me!

I also have had several family members who have had experiences with the unexplained. I find the topic fascinating, but tonight I may have to sleep with the light on after reading all of your stories! LOL

I love hearing about peoples experiences with the unknown. I have had many encounters and I know there are some other threads here about this subject. Might have to dig them up.

i don't know, but there have been wierd stuff happening at work, the fridge being turned all the way up, doors not opening when its not locked, and not obstructed, cups falling off a shelf, one by one, one of the other employees saw what looked like a short-sleeve lab coat in a hall way then it dissapeared. we know that one of the former owners passed away upstairs in the apartment upstairs and alot of whats going on sounds like what he would do.


its just creepy

Sure do!!!! My aunt has one of the most haunted houses you will ever see. It is a woman and a little boy. The two spirits are very protective over my aunt. If anyone makes my aunt mad they make their presences known!!!
You constantly here someone walk up and down the steps and lights go on and off and you will see figures walk around the house.

I completely 100% absolutely do NOT believe in Ghosts. I think it is slightly ridiculous to believe in such a thing!

I think ghost stories are exciting.
I havnt seen any ghosts my self, but i do feel things around me.Which could be my nan who died 8 years ago. Im sure my house is haunted coz no one, ever hears or feels what i do! But no one has ever died in it. (i dont think)

How do you explain it then? I sat on my ex boyfriend's porch waiting for him to get home one day, and listened to someone walking up and down the stairs and around the house, but couldn't see anyone. I told him about it when he got there, and he said "Oh that's the ghost. Happens all the time." Thier ghost threw a freeweight across the upstairs (hitting the wall hard enough to damage the plaster) once, and would frequently pop video games out of the player when they were playing. If it's not a ghost walking up and down the stairs (and you can tell the difference between footsteps and an old house settling), who is it? I've also heard stories where someone is telling a former occupant of a house about wierd things happening, and they tell them "Oh yeah, the same things happened when we lived here..."

I'm not picking on you for not believing, but if it's not ghosts, what the heck is it?

at my house
I believe that the spirits of the dead sometimes remain in the world and can show themselves or communicate with us.

When I was twelve years old my family moved into a house, and I heard the sound of a little girl's voice crying for help while I was moving my things into my bedroom. Scared me pretty good, and since my parents are deaf and my sisters were not at the house when this happened I knew that it wasn't someone playing a trick on me.

I did not sleep in that room until our priest came and blessed my room. I never heard the "ghost" again, but always felt that she remained.

I believe in them. My first husband and I had a very tumultuous on again, off agian relationship for 4 years. He always said that I would be better off with my current s/o. He smoked Vantage cigarettes, and was the only person I ever knew that smoked them. After he was killed in a horrible motorcycle crash, I would find open packs of Vantage cigarettes when I was about to make a bad decision. They would be in my car, shower, locker at work, anywhere. This went on for several years, until I finally hooked up with my sweetie, almost 21 years ago. I have found only 1 since then, about 5 years ago. I wish I could remember exactly what was going on then, but I remember being in a serious quandry, and having doubted the decision I had made.
My second husband and I lived in an old house that had a female ghost that did not like me. We had a fireplace in the bedroom, and at night she would knock my stuff off of the mantle. She never bothered any of his stuff, or anyone else's. My motorcycle helmet was sitting on the living room mantle one evening when we had a house full of people. I was sitting in the middle of the room in a chair. She slapped the helmet off the mantle, and it hit me on the leg. No way could it have gotten to me just falling off. People were freaking out! The bathroom was off the kitchen, and I would close the kitchen door, and leave the bathroom door open when I was bathing. I would hear the kitchen door open and close, then the bathroom door would slam, really hard. I was so happy when we finally moved from there!
