Paranomal Book Update

Welcome!

The publisher of my book and I are uncertain exactly when my paranormal book will be published.  I do know it will be sometime between February and August of next year.  In the meantime, I'm putting this blog in a holding pattern, with periodic updates and/or topics about the paranormal as they come up.  I'll resume my weekly blog posts when it gets nearer to the time for my book to be published.

A Paranormal Incident

Welcome!

(Last week, I had technical difficulties beyond my control, so I didn't get to publish my blog post.  All is well, now, as you can see.)

A couple of weeks ago, Greg and I were staying at someone's town house by ourselves.  While there, something very strange happened to me.  Greg had gone to pick up some breakfast for us, while I was in the upstairs bathroom, getting ready for the day.  I was standing at the bathroom mirror, when all of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a hand towel fall off the rack onto the top of the bathroom cabinet.  Of course, I thought that was a little strange, and tried to figure out why that would have happened.  I hadn't made any sudden, jarring movement to have made it fall.  I placed the towel back on the rack.  I thought no more about it, and dried my hair with my hair dryer.  After I finished, I glanced over at the towel, and it had fallen off again!  (No, the dryer hadn't blown it off, because I later deliberately tried to blow it off, which I couldn't do, as an experiment.)

We'd stayed there several times before, but that same towel had stayed on the rack, as most any normal towel would do.

                                     Normal Towel, Involved in Paranormal Incident

As I stood there, thinking about what had happened to me (twice!), cold chills ran up and down my  spine.  This is the kind of thing that normally just happens on the ghost hunting shows on TV, not to me!  This was the first incident of this type I'd ever encountered, and it was a little frightening.  (However, taking paranormal photographs has never bothered me.)

I mentioned the incident to the owner of the town house, and she said she and her family had never noticed anything strange happening before.  Of course, they'd never actually stayed there, as they'd only rented it out at one time to someone else. 

However, the town house owner did take the time to tell me a paranormal incident that happened to her, not too long ago, in the house where she lives which involved hearing strange noises.

Guess supernatural events are more common than one might think!  It's just that most people don't want to discuss them, out of fear, etc.

I think it's best to share paranormal experiences, because by doing so, you might just help, or at least entertain someone else!

Just Ghost Stories

Welcome!

A couple of chapters in my soon-to be-published book on the paranormal contain no pictures, just ghostly stories.  One chapter has true paranormal things that have happened to Greg and me and to other people in our families.  The other ghost-story chapter is about true tales that other people have told me for my book.

Personally, I've always enjoyed true ghost stories far more than those that someone just made up, because if the true ones happened to someone else, they might just possibly happen to me.  (Not that I'd want them to!)  Therefore, in my opinion, real ghost stories are truly scarier!

Spirit Encounters Abroad

Welcome!

When my brother and I were in our twenties, before we met our spouses, we went to Europe twice with money we'd saved.   

We took plenty of pictures, of course, some of which were quite paranormal, as one one might expect with us, having taken the pictures, in a place like Europe which is a hotbed of the paranormal. 

"Spirit Encounters Abroad" is the title of one of the chapters of my soon-to-be-published book.  The chapter has intriguing pictures of some familiar sites which contain ectoplasm, and one photo even has an an eerie apparition!  That is a rather rare occurance, to capture an apparition on film, but that, we were lucky enough to accomplish.

If you love Europe, and if you love wierd things, then you should love this chapter of my new book, the name of which I'll reveal soon!

If you have anything paranormal to share, or would like to make a comment, please email me:  spiritphotographs@gmail.com .  (If you'd rather make a comment the normal way, please do so.  It's just that some people tried to make a comment the normal way, but I never got those due to some sort of technical difficulties.)

Mysterious "Cloud with Orb" Photo

Welcome!

Wow!  I have a very interesting photo for you on this blog post.  It was sent to me by a friend in Greeneville,Tennessee.  This person who took the photo has always had a fascination with clouds and even enjoys photographing them. 

One evening last month, she took a series of three photographs of some pretty clouds from her back porch, when, to her surprise, after looking at the photos, she detected something that looked like an orb in her second one.  (In her first photo, she thought it looked as though the orb might just be forming and in the third one there is no orb in sight.)

The orb in this photo is pretty obvious.  A psychic told me that anomalies that glowed were paranormal in nature.


This Greeneville photographer said she enjoys my blog and thought I might be interested in seeing the photo.  I told her I was, so she sent me an 8x10 hard copy which I photographed with my camera to put on this blog post.

 I also took the photograph to a photo machine in my favorite big box store and cropped it off and enlarged it.  I was amazed at the variety of colors the orb has.  I'd never examined one that closely before.

She said that her husband thinks it looks like a small green ball.  To her, it looks like the planet Earth.  She had even speculated that it might have been the moon, but her husband said that the moon was in "another place in the sky at that time."  Also, he said that the moon would not be in front of the clouds, which is true.

 After enlarging it, to me, it looks like there's a white star in the center of the orb, along with two or three other star shapes.

My husband Greg and I have taken several pictures with orbs, but never so far up in the sky as this one!

Greg thought it might even be a UFO.

What do you think?  Please feel free to send a comment about this unusual phenomenon.

Thanks to the photographer and her husband for sharing this fascinating photo with us!

Also, if you have anything paranormal to share, please email me:  spiritphotographs@gmail.com
(In fact, you might want to email me with any comments, also, because some people are having trouble commenting the normal way.)

One person emailed the following:  "What a wonderful photo!!  When I first saw the orb, I thought it was just the reflection of the sun in the lens of the camerea.  But considering the object's small size and location, I had to dismiss this idea.  The beautiful color and sharpness of this feature almost suggests a UFO-type image.  Thanks for sharing this!!"  BN of Greeneville,TN.  (I appreciate this person's great feedback.)

Haunted June Tolliver House, Big Stone Gap, Virginia

Welcome!

The June Tolliver House in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, my old home town, actually started my interest in supernatural photography.  My brother, when only a school boy, took a photo of the outside of the world famous Tolliver House that showed a very distinct  apparition in an upstairs window.  The photo is locally famous there, but, hopefully, will be world-famous, as my paranormal book on spirit  photography will be published soon. 

                                    The June Tolliver House, Minus the Ghost


I've written a whole chapter in the book on the June Tolliver House which contains stories of people who have worked there, and, of course, several very interesting photos, some of which were taken by people besides my husband Greg and me.

I'll let you know on this blog when my book is published.

Haunted Boyhood Home

Welcome!

In last week's blog post, I began telling some things about my new book which will be coming out soon.  This week, I will continue that by discussing one of the chapters in the book, "Haunted Boyhood Home." 

The "boyhood home" I'm referring to is my husband Greg's home where he grew up.  People who lived in the house often heard strange noises, and the maid just swore she knew it was haunted.

                                                 Front Foyer with Ectoplasm

Many years later, Greg and I lived there for a while to help take care of his father.  That was quite an experience, as we heard strange noises, voices, saw a strange hand print, and, of course, took several paranormal pictures.  One night, Greg even saw an apparition!   It was all rather frightening.  Let's put it this way, you couldn't pay me a hundred thousand dollars to spent the night in that house by myself!

There are more details and a lot more photos in my soon-to-be published book. 

Please stay tuned!
