This next picture is of my grandfather visiting Greece. My brother, who was also there, took this picture. If you look closely at the whitish, foggy blob, you will see a funnel shape and a black hole type spot just beneath it. |

This picture is of me and my oldest child. If you look closely, you
can see the dates on my great-grandparent's tombstone. Would you believe
the daughter I am holding was born on November 8th? And even stranger,
my brother's child was born 3 months later, on February 9th. If you look
closely, you'll see February 9th is the day Manuel died.

This is a photo of my cousin, taken when she was experiencing some personal problems. I was looking through some old pictures, and came across this one. After having viewed many of the snaps on your website, I thought I'd send you this; I'm not sure what that black thing is in the left side of the picture, but it seems to be a "dryer hose" sort of thing. In the original, you can definitely see the wall behind her through this aberration. There's no strap on that camera; it's a Cannon SureShot and at one time it had a wrist-strap. It was jerked off my wrist on Beale Street during the MusicFest when it was three days old, and when it was recovered (ten minutes later) the only damage was (my bruised wrist - haha) to the little piece of plastic where the strap attached. I never bothered to get it fixed - takes great pictures - and I have a carrying case for it. Do you have any ideas about that picture? I have a feeling that the anomaly is directly related to her state of mind when that photo was taken, just look at her face. She looks haunted, to me. We're pretty close, but I didn't find out what was going on in her life until last night when I showed her the picture for the purpose of pointing out that black thing. Now that I know what she was going through, I think it's some pretty bad energy. |

Notice the two faces appearing in the photograph. One is of a small girl, one is of an old man. Scott is a photographer, he admits to being able to "feel" the presence of ghosts. One day in a hotel in South Australia he captured these amazing entities on film. Here is Scott's story: Years ago my brother and his wife and kids moved into a hotel in Gawler, South Australia, a small town north of Adelaide. After carrying out renovations on the building that was built in 1836, strange things started to happen, people started to hear strange things and see the apparition of a small girl and an older man. Being a sceptic I didn't believe it until my brother started to see things as well. All the stories from different people were the same so I got interested, and being a photographer (Weddings etc.) I thought I would have a go at getting something on film. A friend and I stayed in the hotel all night in the section which used to be the Gawler morgue last century before it was turned into a hotel. It was very eerie and I could feel the presence of the spirits or what ever you call them. It was so strong a feeling that it is hard to describe. This photo was taken on 3,200iso speed Kodak TMax film B&W. I also tried inferred film without much success. After developing the film I had a quick look at it and didn't think I had captured anything until a week or so later when I was doing some testing in the dark room and I noticed a negative which looked different than the rest. I made a copy and could not believe it. I then took a copy to every photo expert I could find and they all said it was unexplainable. After the initial carry on about it, we decided to throw them in a draw and forget about it until the local Gawler paper "The Bunyip" contacted me 4 or 5 years later In March 1998. The South Australian Advertiser (South Australia's main newspaper) also ran a story on the photo in March. Then in April the same year "A Current Affair" (TV Program) did an interview with me at the Old Spot Hotel which aired on Channel 9 in April, 1998 around Australia. For any more information please feel free to contact Scott Pearson

My friends and I read Weird NJ and enjoy the stories but this place scared everyone who explored that building. No one saw this "smoke" at the time the photos were taken! It was clear in the building and no fog outside, And nobody was smoking. This is not a hoax or special effects. These photos match some of your images. Photo #2 is on the first floor. Photo #3 is at the nurses station, I would love to visit this place again but I think all my friends will never go near it after viewing the photos. Will something like this happen again? Or did we just luck out! Any clues on how to "catch" something like this better on film? Editor's Note: SURE! Order my book "Investigating a Haunted Location Handbook" |

If you ever want to visit this location it would require you to trespass on the property, but I have heard talk of demolition of the structure so time is not on our side. It has been vacant for about two years now and kids are starting to vandalize it now. Oddly some of the interior lights were on in the building at the time of the visit too. |

Hi Donna, I'm sorry I wasn;t able to attend your function on 1/22 while I was in town, but I thought that you might like to see what my camera captured when I went walking thru a cemetery on 1/23 @ 3:30pm. I would like you to know that although it had rained earlier in the day, when I took the pictures, there was no mist, fog or rain. I didn't get the name of the cemetery I took these in, but I can tell you that it is located on the outskirts of NORWICH, CT off Rt 165. Here is a synopsys of the pics that I took: #1, My FIRST ecto shot. In 12 years of hunting, I have never captured any ecto. FINALLY I got some! Pretty neat eh? You can see individual orbs in the ecto too! |

# 2 Just your normal everyday run of the mill orb shot. I liked it the because of the headstone. |

#3 (MY FAVORITE)Shows a childs gravestone. Look at the lamb. Do you see an orb completely encircling it? Also note that the other orbs are off to the left hand side as if to say "The little one is more important, but we want to be seen too!" I had a very strange experience in this cemetery. As I was strolling thru it, I was talking to the residents, watching my footing as it had rained earlier & the ground was slippery. I asked if anyone wanted me to take thier picture, to please stop me (i'm a bit clairaudient, so I figured I'd hear them) and I would do as they requested. I was walking along and all of the sudden I felt a pressure around my ankle, I took another step & still felt it. So I looked down again & there was a honeysuckle vine wrapped around my ankle. I could smell the fragrance, but it's WINTER, there were no flowers. So I snapped the picture & thanked the resident. It is of that grave that I got the 2nd picture. Interesting, no? Thanks! Dianna Just one small caveat: These pics were taken with a Cannon 35mm camera using Fuji 200spd Film |
