Thank God I saw this at 12:10pm and not 12:10am ... or I'd be having a sleepless night.
Does look a littl bit like Casper though doesn't it (Casper, the friendly ghost!)

That whole area is supposed to be loaded with ghosts, Tommyknockers are supposed to haunt the area, they are ghosts of miners killed in mining accidents. Just about every house in town had its resident ghost, one of our houses had a lady ghost that some have seen baking bread in the night. We never saw anything like that, but people who lived in the house before and after we did claimed to have seen her. One house has a ghost that slaps your face, it was on that haunted house show that was on the Travel Channel.
What is cool is to go to the cemetery at night. My wife and I did one night, there was a full moon and we walked around for a few minutes and heard noises of deer and rabbits running around and my wife just about crapped her pants. Scared the hell out of her, but I thought it was kind of neat.

I have quite a few pictures taken where you can clearly see 'ghosts' (not that I don't believe, but in that line of work you learn to be skeptical. If you don't you tend to get freaked by the smallest of things). Several in my own homes and especially my brothers.
I was spending the night at my brothers one night babysitting and I had this crazy dream about this African American woman with a rolling pin beating the crap out of her two sons. She walked over to where I was sleeping and lifted the pin and I woke up terrified. I had this freaky feeling that I wasn't alone, took a picture nd very clearly you can see a dark shadow with a woman's face and what looks like a stick in her hand. Creepy stuff.. his house became my pet project when I wasn't on an official case.

Since we're on this page anyway... Another thing that scares the hell out of me is ghost children. This fear is so bad that if someone offered me a million dollars to spend an hour in a room with one there's no doubt in my mind I would turn it down, no joke. I don't care if they're real or made up, imagined or a joke, I don't like them. Any case I've ever done, if the people said something about a ghost kid I was on my way home. I had an experience with something when I was a teenager and I was too young to know to be skeptical but that fear stuck with me. Even watching badly made movies like the ring and the grudge, I hate the little kids. Creeps me out. Give me an adult 'ghostie' and I'll talk to them, stalk them, try to catch them and be left alone with them all night, whatever. Put me in any area where they think there's a little kid and I will scream and take off running. Not doing it. Nope. No way in hell...

I totally agree. Ghost kids are extremely creepy. Now I'm all freaked out thinking about it and it isn't even night...laci_baby wrote: Since we're on this page anyway...

@ Lacy thats true. I dont think anyone will ever get proof of ghosts. You read all the accounts and they are all the same. Anymore it seems if youve read one youve read them all.

I can't now...it's late and I'm "alone" tonight... Alone with four g. piggies, two gerbils, a hamster, a hedgehog, and a dog. Who would protect me? I'll check it out tomorrow, though, and thanks!Fran wrote:Just look towards the bottom left hand corner of the picture ... you might need to brighten you screen though!Tralala wrote:Awright, I give.

Went out to Sanatorium Hill (http://beethoven23.tripod.com/Dane/SanatoriumHill.html)...big bust. Nary a creepy thing in sight. Did see a few deer, though, which was thrilling, since I've only seen around 4000 of them at this point in my life.

Thats not to say I disbelieve the paranormal, I do think there are other life forms in other planets and a world that continues beyond ours but as long as human beings have a hand in exploring them, corruption and exploitation will always paper over the truth.

Personally I think it's all got to do with darkness and a primordial fear built into us to be fearful of situations where our faculties are seriously diminished, humans IMO are pre-programmed to fear the dark. I've never heard of anyone seeing a ghost in daylight ... now why is that? or are we to believe that there is a day and night in the nextworld that accurately corresponds with our day & night hours!StephenKingman wrote:My own opinion on ghosts is that about 99% of creepy feelings, sightings and sounds have a perfectly rational explanation and especially in this modern age, ghost photos and videos are a bugbear of society. Ghost sightings are so regular they have lost their power to shock. Im very skeptical of people claiming photos have ghost images in them. Not aimed at you Bighuey, but where you have people you have liars, cheats, attention seekers and mental illness and a lot of them hoax up images for their own means. Even the few 'genuine' photos I am reserved about. Plus the human brain remains untapped, we do conjure up a lot of our own hauntings by very reason that we are in a "haunted" area.
