A Weird Photograph!

 Welcome!

At the end of my last blog post, entitled "A Haunted Mansion, Revisited," which I published on March 28, 2026, I mentioned that there was a paranormal photograph the I would never put on my blog. I will tell you about that photograph in this blog post.

Most of the time, at least for me, spirits show up in my photographs when I least expect them, like a couple of weeks before we visited the haunted mansion in Wytheville, Virginia, Greg and I were in our car. Greg was driving, and I decided to take a picture through the car windshield of a pretty tree on a hill. I didn't have time to use the telephoto, so I took more of the area than I had planned. Also, my shot was right toward the bright sun, which I, of course, did not look at as I was taking the picture.

The reulting photo was that I did get a picture of the tree and part of the road. There was a bright streak of light coming from the sun which went down to the road. At the end of the streak was sort of an abstract human figure with two slots for eyes.

It was somewhat like Edvard Munch's painting, "The Scream," except that the face had no features, and there were no arms and legs.

We thought it was kind of scary. Neither Greg nor I liked what we saw, therefore, I just decided to delete the picture in my camera, as well as the one I put on the computer since it seemed evil to me, and I don't hsve anything to do with evil!

Greg and I called our psychic, and she gave her impression of the photograph that I described to her as I remembered it. At first, she said that it was a male in the photo, but then she also felt a female. She finally decided that there was a female standing behind the male. They were husband and wife..They were attached to the land, and they deeply cared about the tree, and they guarded it. We had felt weird and frightened when we saw the picture because of the stern attitude they had for the tree. They want to keep people from harming it. They are suspicious of people who come near it, so they act scary to keep people away from it. 

Originally, I was attracted to the tree several weeks ago, when I decided to take a picture of it. I thought it would make a nice photograph, a graceful tree on a sloping hill. The psychic said there was a lot of love toward the tree from people that pass by it. It's a beautiful, very old tree that is well-protected by the spirits that also love it..

Most of the time, I still take pictures when we drive by that tree which is about once a week. I've gotten some ectoplasm in all of the pictures that I've taken there the past few weeks, but the most recent picture I took was a coulpe of days ago. I took it toward the sun, but again, I did not look at the sun, of course, just like when I took the other picture that I described earlier. This photograph was also weird, but in different, more elaborate ways.

Notice the large, colorful orbs and the ectoplasm! The beloved tree is the smaller one on the left.

However, I assume that the psychic would would say sometwhat the same thing about the above photo as she did about the one that I described for her. However, if she says anything different about this picture, I'll let you know in a future blog post.

It's a weird world! Please stay tuned!

"A Haunted Mansion, Revisited"

 Welcome!

I'm running a little late this month with my blog post since Greg and I just recently got to revisit a very haunted house, the Octagon Mansion, in Wytheville, Virginia. According to some people, it's supposed to be the scariest place in Virginia!

On May 21, 2022, I wrote another blog post about the mansion which was built in 1870. The post was entitled "Haunted! Tours." At that time it was a history museum, and they occasionally offered special paranormal tours. Greg and I just took pictures of the outside of the house when we went by. You might want to check out that post for yourself. One of the pictures in that post is paranormal!

As far as I know, no one lives in the mansion now. The last person who lived there witnessed a lot of paranormal activity, like doors closing on their own, and objects flying across the room. Also, sometimes he heard voices and even saw ghostly figures.

Apparently, the reason the mansion is so haunted is because that during the Civil War, there was an intense battle when 300 soldiers died, etc. in the area where the mansion is now located. Not only that, but there is a little girl who died during the polio epidemic in the 1950's that also haunts the mansion. As if that weren't enough, there are also spirits from the graveyard that is underneath the property!

Since we couldn't go into the mansion, we just took several pictures of the outside, just as we did in 2022, to see if we could get anything paranormal with our cameras.

After we got home, we looked carefully, but we didn't see anything strange with the photos I took. However, we noticed that there was ectoplasm in one of Greg's photos of the front porch-

This cropped-off picture shows the ectoplasm which is beneath, and to the left of this chair.

I wish we could have gone into the mansion when it was open, since I'm sure we could have gotten several paranormal photographs then. Perhaps one day it will reopen, and we'll be right there with our cameras ready to photograph the paranormal!

I consulted a psychic about this property, and she said that it was a ghost magnet, that spirits congregate there. Some are even from Colonial days. They see themselves in their own time period.

Next month, I'm going to tell about a paranormal photograph that I decided never to put on my blog!

"A Supernatural Sunset!"

 Welcome!

I'm running a little later this week since I had to wait until I could talk to an excellent psychic, named Holly, that I know. I finally got in touch with her today. I asked her about three different subjects which I mentioned in my last "Spirit Photographs" blog post last month. It was entitled- "A Paranormal Photograph, as Well as Some Questionable Events During the Past Few Weeks!" It was published on Sunday, January 18, 2026.

In that post I mentioned three unusual things that I was wondering about-

~One of the unusual things, was that someone drove into our driveway for a few minutes, and we had no idea why he was there. He left before Greg could go out and investigate. I had taken a picture of the front of his vehicle through our house window before he left, and I noticed in the picture that there was something like ectoplasm down near the bumper, or I thought it might even be there because of a smudge on the window.

Holly didn't think it was anything supernatural. She said that he was just lost, and that he pulled off of the road to look at a map or his phone. She didn't know what the "ectoplasm"-type of thing was in my picture.

~However, this was supernatural- a sunset in a picture that Greg had taken a few weeks ago-

When Greg showed me the photo, I couldn't believe it!-Not only was there a lot of color in the sky, but there was color on the ground, too! Also, look at the strange sun-like objects in the sky near the white clouds. I've never seen anything quite like this before!

When I asked Holly about Greg's photo, she said that this photo was a gift from God. She also said that Greg and I produce a lot of love, that we appreciate the area, and are close to nature. 

Greg does love to be outside and work. He has a special way with plants. He even brought one plant inside, and has nurtured it through the past few cold months. It's supposed to be an outdoor plant (a tropical one!), but Greg has made it an indoor one until it's warm enough to take it back outside to plant in the ground.

I really enjoy taking pictures of nature, the beautiful area where we live, with its four seasons.

In last month's blog post, I also mentioned a haunted mansion. We decided we'd check it out next month.

Please stay tuned!

"A Paranormal Photograph, as Well as Some Questionable Events During the Past Few Weeks!"

 Welcome!

I have a definite paranormal (a spirit) photograph to show you today, along with some unexplained events that have happened during the past few weeks.

When I wrote last month's blog post, "A Paranormal Book on Kindle" on Sunday, December 21, 2025, nothing supernatural had happened the four weeks prior to my writing that post.

However, the weeks between last month's post and today's post, there were several strange or unusual things that occurred.

First, here is the definite paranormal photograph that I took during a snowstorm that we had not long ago-

Do you see the paranormal part in the above photograph?

Here is the close-up of the above photo-

Do you see it? At first you might think it's just snow, but look at how it nearly obscures part of the wire fence. I feel really confident that it is paranormal since the talented psychic I consulted about this barn area said that it was very haunted because of a secret here that very few know about.

I tell more about this in my upcoming book on Appalachia since I have one chapter entitled "Haunted Appalachia." In that chapter, I have another paranormal photograph of this same area that involves animals.

Greg and I experienced a couple of strange things recently-

~Greg took pictures of a sunset, and they didn't turn out quite the way we expected they would!

~One afternoon, an older man (or a woman) in a black SUV pulled into our driveway for a few minutes, and then quickly left after I took a picture of the vehicle. The picture I took might have been paranormal.

Also, there is a nearby haunted mansion that I hope to investigate soon.

Please stay tuned for next month's blog post, as well as for other posts, for more information about the mysterious events above, etc. I should know a lot more after I consult our psychic!
