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!

"Eerie, Strange, Paranormal..."

 Welcome!

I have some things to share with you today that are eerie, strange, paranormal. Some of these are weird things that have happened to others, and some are personal, that Greg and I have recently experienced.

"Many paranormal enthusiasts believe staircases are spiritual vortexes, attracting ascending (and descending!) spirits. At the Biltmore (estate in Asheville, North Carolina), visitor accounts of odd occurrences on the stairs soar in firsthand accounts detailed in online reports and comments."-  https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/north-carolina/haunted-biltmore-in-asheville-nc/

"Most of the visitors had reported seeing spirits going up or down the stairs. Sounds of footsteps had also been heard on multiple occasions. Not to be outdone, there have been reports of strange smells, cold spots, and eerie feelings when visitors would go up or down the stairs."-  https://ashevilleterrors.com/biltmore-estate/

Our Cat Kallie on Our Stairway, Not Long Before Her Passing

In my two previous blog posts (on 1/21/24 and 2/20/24), I wrote about losing our beloved cat, Kallie, to an illness, and about the paranormal things that manifested as a result of her passing.

Well, these paranormal events are continuing to happen. 

During the past few weeks since my last "Spirit Photographs" blog post, here are some strange things that Greg and I have encountered- (We are convinced that they are manifesting because Kallie is trying to communicate with us.)

~Here is a photograph I took of a tree right outside our dining room window when it was sleeting a few weeks ago-

In the photo above, notice what appears to be white ectoplasm near the top of the tree and the violet ectoplasm at the bottom of the tree. (Is this ectoplasm related to Kallie?)

~A couple of weeks later, Greg and I were upstairs, and just as we were leaving one room and entering the cat room, I heard a distinctive meow that sounded exactly like Kallie. Our cat, Mitzi, was downstairs, so we know it wasn't her. Besides, cats have distinctive meows, just like people have distinctive voices.

~Then, just a few nights ago, I was upstairs again, and Greg came up and told me that he had heard a loud noise in the kitchen, like a pan dropping. He said that he and Mitzi had run into the kitchen, but he saw nothing. He said that Mitzi went over near the pet drinking fountain, and was looking around. It's very possible that it was Kallie that had made that noise because she seemed to really love the new fountain that we had gotten for the cats a few weeks before she passed away. Mitzi must have sensed Kallie's presence, or maybe even saw her there. (Many animals are very psychic. They can often see and hear things in the spirit world that we can't.)

~One night, I was working on the computer in our study, when I began to hear a loud clinking noise that sounded like it came from the kitchen. It was the loud distinctive sound of Kallie's claw, hitting her water dish, to make the water move, as she had done many times before.

~One day, I was in the kitchen, when I heard a noise in the nearby laundry room, and I noticed a cardboard cat food box had fallen over by itself.

There will, no doubt, be more manifestations here at our house in the future, but we don't mind. It's so reassuring that Kallie is letting us know that she's still with us, at least part of the time, since she was such an important part of our lives.

According to our psychic, a new cat is supposed to be coming to our house in the spring, which begins in just two days. Please stay tuned!

Happy spring!

Two Unusual Photographs, One Creepy, One Paranormal

 Welcome!

Last month in my 3/18/23 blog post, entitled "A Psychic Reading, and a Paranormal Update," I said that a talented psychic named Maria (not her real name) had done a reading for me about a couple of Greg's and my paranormal photographs which I wrote about in that post. I also mentioned that I had another (Really creepy!) photograph that I had asked her to interpret, but I said that I would save it for this April blog post.

I also have an additional photograph to share in this post. 

So, today, I have two unusual photographs, one creepy, one paranormal.

The creepy photo is the one that my brother, Nick, sent me that someone had sent him, a picture of woman who had taken a selfie in a famous Southern hotel. When the woman looked at the picture she had taken, she had thought it was a ghost since the place is known to be haunted.

Weird Photo! (I cropped off the woman who took the selfie, for her privacy, but I left the "ghost" part of the photo.)

Nick was confounded by it, and he wanted to know what we thought of it.

Greg and I were as puzzled as Nick was, and we felt that the photo was just weird, very strange, not anything that we normally encountered, even with all of the paranormal photographs we have taken throughout the years.

So, I very briefly described the photo to the psychic (She doesn't even need to look at the pictures that she interprets.), and Maria said that the 'ghost' was a real person, not from the spirit world, and that he has a different aura since his aura has changed. He's weird and off-balance. He's thinking about death. She said that in one to three months there would be an accident.

(At least I got the "weird" part right), but it's also very sad, and strange that the woman who took the photo would capture that man in the photo at the very same time that she took the selfie!

Also, most people think that all paranormal photos are scary, but they don't have to be.

Just recently, Greg and I went out of town, and we ate at a restaurant that was new to us. On the wall there was a neat welcome sign which I got permission to photograph since I collect photos of welcome signs, some of which I put at the beginning of my "The Art of Positive Living" blog posts.

After I'd taken a picture of following unique sign, I noticed a faint orb on the right side of the photo-

I wasn't surprised to see the orb since I had thought before we left on our trip that it would be nice if some of our loved ones in the spirit world would be with us on our trip.

According to the photo above, I believe that they were!

Weird, Scary Photo!

 Welcome!

I don't often react to any paranormal photographs that Greg or I take, but on this post, I'm going to show you a photo that is, in my opinion, very weird, even scary!

Here's some background first, before I reveal the strange photograph-

Greg, some of Greg's family members, and I recently went to four cemeteries in East Tennessee to put flowers on some family graves.

A couple of people couldn't come and take part in our cemetery excursion, including Cris. Before our trip, she emailed Greg and me and encouraged us to see if we could get pictures of any orbs. I thought that was a good suggestion, that I really hadn't even thought about taking any paranormal photographs which seems strange since I have even written a book, "Photographic Encounters of the Spirit Kind," which is about the paranormal photographs that Greg, my brother, and I have taken in the past.

(My book is available on Amazon Kindle. Please click on the widget above for more information about ordering it.)

Most of the time, I don't purposely try to take any weird photos; they just happen when I least expect them to. However, mainly for Cris, Greg and I actually tried to capture some spirit images on camera, and we were successful, beyond our expectations!

We did get some ectoplasm and even orbs in a few of the photos, but one photograph was unlike anything we have ever seen! And, here it is!-

The only thing that I did to the above photo was that I added my watermark. It looks as though it's late in the day, but it was actually only about 3:00 PM! Notice the glow at the bottom of the photo. 

I wanted to see the photograph better so I lightened it-

Unbelievably, it looks as thought the nearest gravestone and a few others are outlined and glowing!

Still not satisfied, I lightened the photo even further, and here's what I got-

With a mostly cloudy sky, the above photo is how the photo should have looked at 3:00 PM to begin with. Notice that the gravestones still have that glow even in the lightened version.

I emailed the photos to Cris, and she said, "Wow! those are some really weird pictures....I knew you would find something." (Thanks, Cris for your great photo suggestion!)

The photos of the glowing markers were probably dark because of the paranormal activity. Entities can mess with your camera. Another photo that I took earlier was light and very blurred.

Also, a wonderful psychic that I consulted while writing my book said that anytime you saw something glowing that was not supposed to be glowing, it was a sign that there was paranormal activity.

Greg and I are going to be really brave, because in a week or so, we're going back to this same cemetery by ourselves, to see if we can capture anything else on camera. Also, I'm going to consult a psychic to get her ideas about this strange phenomenon.

Stay tuned! More to come about this weird, scary photo next month, plus more!

Weird Happenings at the Cabin

Welcome!

On my 5/16/20 "Spirit Photographs" blog post, "A Haunted Cabin," I wrote about the unfinished cabin that is on our property. I had done a ritual of smudging using white sage, and I had convinced myself that the cabin was free of any paranormal activity, but now, I don't think so for two reasons.

First of all, one day, a few weeks ago, I went on the porch of the cabin to see about the plant that was there, when I heard an unexplained noise come from inside the cabin. This is not unusual as this has happened before.

Then, just moments later, I felt the floor of the porch slightly, subtly, and briefly vibrate beneath my feet. I couldn't believe what I was feeling, since I would never have suspected something like that would happen. That was really weird, to say the least!

Cabin Porch

Then, a few days later, I saw Greg out working in the yard, and I decided to take a picture of him as an example of  a person doing something that he loved to do for my other blog, "The Art of Positive Living." 

That little plan was foiled, however, when, despite my holding my camera perfectly still, the whole picture looked as though I'd shaken it on purpose! I've encountered this same phenomenon before when in the presence of paranormal activity.

The cabin is directly behind the tree that Greg is standing in front of.

I started to wonder why the sage ritual that had worked successfully for me before had apparently not worked on the cabin. I finally decided that the new sage that I'd used was barely smoking, and that I'd have to work on the sage to make it burn better to get better results. 

We have been really busy working on our house the past few months, and I haven't had much extra time to devote to working anything such as the paranormal. However, I'm going to carve out some time soon to rid the cabin of  the weird happenings taking place there.

In a few months we hope to either rent out the cabin or to use it as a guest cottage, but the way things are now, I don't believe anyone would want to stay there unless they are real ghost enthusiasts with nerves of steel!

I'll have an update next month on the cabin, plus, Greg and are are planning to visit a creepy area near where we live soon, so please stay tuned!

Strange (Paranormal?) Things in the Sky!

Welcome!

Last week, I mentioned that I was going to share with you the results of a psychic reading, but I still haven't gotten to do that yet. However, I feel sure that I'll get to share that with you for our next regularly scheduled "Spirit Photographs" blog post on Saturday, April 15.

In the meantime, never fear, I still have something else paranormal to tell you about that happened several days ago.

One morning, I looked out the kitchen window and noticed several jet trails crossing over each other. I told Greg, and he grabbed his camera and took the photo below.

This is weird because normally contrails don't hang in the air that long, nor do several cross over each other in that manner.

Even stranger is that when Greg got to work later that day, he said that he saw a lot more of these contrails in the formation of a grid!

But wait, even more weird was the fact that when Greg got to work the very next day, he looked out the window and saw something else strange in the sky. He grabbed some nearby binoculars, and he and a coworker ran out to see what it was.

Greg said that there was an object up high in the sky which was the size of somewhere between that of a hang glider and a small plane. It was shaped like a peanut, and it was white and sparkled in the sun. Suddenly, it started twisting and turning, and then it changed into a triangular shape, and finally disappeared.

Greg and his coworker didn't know what to think about this strange phenomenon. They were stunned. The coworker said that he'd never before believed in UFO's, but he might just change his opinion after seeing that!

Please stay turned for more of the unexplained!

A Haunted B&B, and More

Welcome!

Every month, Greg and I are still amazed by the paranormal activity that we capture on film.

Last month was no exception.

In September, Greg and I took an overnight trip to visit family. Before we left, on the spur of the moment, I decided to take a picture of our large poke plant. When we looked at the photo, we noticed immediately that there was ectoplasm in at least a third of the picture.

Little did we know that this was apparently a little preview of things to come on our trip!

We stayed at a B&B that was a turn-of-the-century Queen Anne's cottage. It was quiet charming, up to a point.

We really loved our stay there although we kept hearing strange noises during the night. I woke up several times to sounds that seemed like they were coming from one corner of our room. Greg heard a weird noise that sounded like it was right behind our heads while we were in bed.

Nothing showed up in photos I had taken inside the old house that night, but the next morning was a different story. Three pictures I had taken outside on the porch had different types of ectoplasm in them.

The best of the three appeared to have a foggy look, plus there was ectoplasm near two old bicycles, there were weird steaks,etc. in the window and in the glass door., and in the lower right-hand corner of the photo was a bright pink color that looked almost like blood running down off the porch.

Front Porch of Haunted B&B

I showed the photos to the owner who told me that he and one or two others had heard and even seen some paranormal activity there as well. I do believe that to be true!

We've stayed in several B&B's most of our married life, and a few of them have been haunted. Our first one was in St. Augustine which I wrote about in my book, "Photographic Encounters of the Spirit Kind" which is available both on Amazon and Fast Pencil.

So, if you're interested in having a ghostly encounter of your own, might I highly recommend that you spent the night in a B&B, especially one that is rather old! Happy ghostly encounters!

Our sister-in-law Cris told us about two paranormal TV shows she really likes, "Ghost Asylum" and "Haunted Case Files," on "Destination America." We don't currently get that channel, but now, we're thinking about it.
