DID I Catch Something 'Paranormal' Or Is It Just A Shitty Digicam?
 

Okay...I already KNOW it's a shitty digicam...Or it WAS...These pictures are the last ones I was able to take with the old digicam...They were taken at a picnic in the cemetery...

This is a print screen of my picture files:

I wanted you to see ALL of these so that you could see what I saw when I uploaded them....I took the pictures in rapid succesion because the digicam was dying and I was trying to get as many pix as I could before it died completely...

This is the one I want you to really look at...It's the third picture above...Notice around the outside edges, the picture is perfectly clear...It's only around Ash that it's...umm...distorted?

I was standing in front of Ash's stroller, so I would quickly snap pix of the guys in front of me, then turn, aim down, and get a picture of Ash, I snapped another of him a couple of minutes later (that one's here, too), but it turned out normal...Same distance as the first one, from right above him...I didn't use any flash because it was daytime, and the flash kills the batteries faster...There was no sun because we stayed in the shade...

Here's the other (normal) picture of Ash:

So...Someone tell me what the hell this is....Opinions?

Damien alert :p

Beats the hell out of me, but that shirt is awesome.

Yep I thought so too.

Thanks guys :)


But, seriously...No theories?...I thought you guys were good at stuff like that....


Here at the house I've been given:

1) 'Entities' are drawn to babies...And we WERE in a cemetery...
2) Auras?....But, why only Ash, and only ONE picture of Ash?
3) Sunspots?...No idea what that means..
4) 'Orbs'...Something about guardian angels or dead spiritual advisors...

And...Of course...5) Shitty Digicam....But, why are all the other pictures (before and after) perfect?


You guys gotta have SOMETHING...

Im with theory #4.

I am also. It's not just the Cam...Unless sun reflected and hit it.

No sun...That cemetery (Spring Grove) is also a national arboretum, millions of trees, all shade, and I would NOT be standing in the sun....Also...I was pointing the camera straight down over the baby, If there HAD been any sun, I would have been blocking it myself...

@ both Vamps :)...Thanks for the input....Guess I should look into that 'orb' thing a little bit...

Just ruling out the skeptics. :)

And While never seeing orbs on camera, I have seen them in person.

Only one course of action here. First, calm down. Freaking out won't solve anything.

Second, get your ASS to an EXORCIST. FAST.

do you use a flash?

She said she didn't use any flash.
Maybe some of the ghosts were bored and wanted to check out the baby. I can imagine how boring haunting a graveyard would be. It was probably some spirit grammas leaning over and pinching his little cheeks:p

You gotta get a bunch of salt. Couple of containers of salt. And some powdered soap. And Funyuns (TM) brand crispy snack. First arrange the Funyuns (TM) roughly in a circle. Sprinkle the salt all over them in a clockwise direction. Then sprinkle the powdered soap around the outside of the house. That will trick the spirits into thinking it is snowing. I will contact you shortly with more things for you to do to rid yourself of the eville.

OMG... *frantic*...We're out of FUNYUNS...And we only use liquid soap!.....NOOOOOO!!!!!


It's okay though...We LOVE the evil....


Oh...Holy shit...I just thought of something.....Ash was named SPECIFICALLY after Ash from Evil Dead......:eek:


You guys are great :cool:



And yeah Sam, like Mona said...No flash...

Maybe some deadites came over to peek into the crib, (right when you clicked the pic) and when Ash saw em, he might have yelled "GROOVY!" and they ran for their lives! :p


:D

The child is "The One." He will fulfill The Great Prophesy and one day rule the world.

Or...a shitty digicam.

Contrary to popular opinion, ghosts typically do not haunt graveyards. I don't hold with the whole "orb" thing. I just don't believe that an entity is going to show up as a ball of light on a picture. I think it would be more inclined to show up as a mist, like this picture (but I don't think that's what's going on here) or a ill defined blob of dark smoke. Sometimes, and it is exceedindly rare, the image is defined.

Personally, I think, Rayne, that you may have caught a shot of Ash's aura. Since he's a baby, his aura is white and pure. He's not going to show colors until he gets a bit older. I will say this for the lad. He's got a strong aura. I think you and I once talked (at 3 AM) about the possibilities your son may possess.

I wish that I still had the pick. When I was little, my dad to a picture of me with head turned to the side. The thing was, that there was a blury image of my face looking the other way and a blury image of my face looking right at the camera. Triple Goddess anyone?

For whatever it's worth, I'm certainly no expert, but I was thinking aura too. And why it didn't show up in the 2nd pic of Ash, I think the question is more why did it show up in the first one. Who knows, sometimes you can see them, sometimes you can't.

Orbs are just collections of energy. They are not evidence of paranormal activity. Orbs can be anything from dust to collections of energy in the air.

Several things could factor into the picture. Even with an abundance of trees, light can still come through fractures in the overbrush. All it would take is a slight moment of light to create the effect. This would also explain why it is in a limited area. Light spots can appear and disappear in mere seconds.

I have been studing the parnaormal for years and i consider myself very experienced in this field. I do believe in spirits, i just don't believe this is a spirit... sorry.

If you aren't using a flash, especially in bright areas, you are bound to get some distortion on a camera.

If it's a shitty digital cam, no flash, and you weren't sitting it completely still for more than 5 or 6 seconds it could have just absorbed a lot of light from that given area, or something.

I've had a lot of weird stuff happen with my photography, most of it I attribute to the camera itself.

I don't know...I think an exorcist would be a good thing, just to be on the safe side. Or a bunch of salt. Or a salty exorcist, but I don't know if they have those. Or you could watch the film "Hysterical," that might help.

In the words of Ash from the Evil Dead series, "Well helloooo Mr. Fancy pants!" Am I kidding? Hmm... I don't know just yet.

I know what orbs are supposed to be, I just think they're too...what's the word I'm looking for... "Look! Orbs!" for me. They, bunny ears, seem to be in every picture. I'm not saying that they aren't reflections of energy flashes (perhaps more likely to dust particles), but people get too excited about them.

So, you're an expert in the "paranormal" (I put it in quotes, because I don't like that word or "supernatural." To me it's all Nature. Nature encapsulates everything). I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving us some sources and some experiences that you may have had. (We've been having a little trouble with a resident claiming to be a math expert, when in actuality he's delusional... so you'll pardon my paranoia).

I'm an occultist or to put it in another way a practicing Witch. I'm not particularly Wiccan, because that's more of a religion complete with holidays, and doctrine (although there's not supposed to be doctrine) and dogma (not supposed to have dogma either) and a bunch of other shit that I don't need. I worship The Morrighan, cast spells, read Tarot, and other things if someone asks me nicely. (Just a small warning: Don't accuse me of being some nancy little hippie chick who secretly calls herself some stupid name. If you saw me on the street, I'd be wearing cut off jean shorts, a tank top, and slides).

My point... I know this shit like the back of my hand, and I still maintain, that Rayne got a really good aura shot.

Rayne, you might want to find yourself a very very trustworthy psychic astrologer. A run of the mill astrologer is only going to give you shit like: Oh Libra is in this house and Aries is here, etc...
However, a psychic or Witch with a good grasp of astrology will be able to do that and maybe relate them to the Tarot or at least help you determine what kind of talents and what kind of "talents" he may possess. The fact that you should not have gotten pregnant with him in the first place is very auspicious.

Jesus Christ!

I think this has something to do with swamp gas & light from venus. Maybe a weather balloon, I'm not sure about that one yet.

Hmmmmmmmm.........


That certainly is something I can't explain. I don't particularily believe in anything supernatural, so I don't have much else to say....

Alana (my wife), on the other hand, thinks it could be an aura or else she thinks it's Ash's guardian angel, surrounding him and protecting him.

She also thinks that shirt kicks ass.


:cool:

This is all I'm going to say to you, and I mean all I'm going to say to you in this matter.

You knew what the subject of this thread contained. You came in here specifically to start a bunch of bullshit or make a shitty comment here and there.

If you don't believe in what the rest of us have theories concerning the natural world's secrets, fine, great. So, the best thing that you can do is avoid the posts concerning that topic. It is your right to post anywhere you choose, but it is not your right to insult people in those threads.

Since you used quotes from my posts only, I could assume that you're only attacking me, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

All I and the rest of the forum ask is that you be respectful of other people's ideas, beliefs, and theories, even if they are contrary to your own.

I think you will find many sceptics of the occult will disagree with you about these subjects, and your conclusions. Suggesting avoiding threads about interesting (and controversial) topics in a forum does not really stand up at all, and resorting to defamation when you are guilty of infantile finger pointing about 'retarded', 'filthy' and 'violating asshole' doesn't make it to the table either.

If you can't quote Freud's penis envy theory, what can you quote?

Finally, I and the rest of the forum ask that you develop a flexible sense of humour.

my sense of humor has hinges.

i put them in myself.

the only problem is they squeak.


squeek squeek squeeek

..what humor ?

Maybe I did come across sounding like an asshole to this guy. What I meant to convey was that if I'm a Witch with heaps of Occult knowledge and this dude also knows about stuff like ghosts and shit, then I want him to talk about it.

1. Because I love to hear about it whether I've heard it a million times or not.

2. Maybe he knows something I don't, and that would be really really cool.

I always thought I had a pretty keen sense of humor, although I'm a bit lewd sometimes...:D

Don't worry Haunted, you're certainly not alone in the lewd sense of humor arena. You can always count on me to be there! :p

I still think the Aura theory makes the most sense to me. Although the Guardian Angel therory sounds possible too, and in my opinion, it has a very comforting feel to it. Either one is a good thing though, again, just my opinion.

WOW!!!...You guys REALLY came through for me!....Thank you all so much for giving me your opinions on this....I can't possibly know what REALLY happened, but you guys have some great ideas...A lot for me to consider...

@ Bwind...Tell Alana I said, "Thanks" to her, too

@ Ultimate Chaos...No need to apologize...I'm not disappointed...Just looking for possibilities...Thanks for your input

@Heather...Sooo much to think about...As always, thank you for your views, too

@Madrigal...Thanks for the 'technical' info

@ Monalisa...Actually, what I'm getting the most, from people who are 'open' to the idea of something a little 'out of the ordinary' is 'auras' and 'guardian angels'...From others, it's "screwed up digicam" :)

@The Flayed One...Have any Men In Black Visited you recently? ;)

@Zero...Have any men in WHITE visited YOU lately? ;) :D


As for the little 'feud' that seems to have sprung up...Come on guys, we're hardcore HORROR fans for fuck's sake...We can handle the PR3SSUR3 ;)...No need to let things get out of hand




Thanks again for everything guys....



*Goes searching for a salty exorcist...Just in case*

only in the summer . . . . (because you simply can't wear white after labor day!!)

Ok
 

Maybe its baby gas? Theres a huge amount of swamp gas surrounding the baby. BTW I love the shirt isn't that really cool. The orb thing I think is out in this case because it just doesn't look like your bog standard orb. I might also be a collection of mist. Was it a humid day there Rayne? Anyhow the baby is really cute. Even though I don't like children this little one is really cute. So I think you souldn't feed the little one any more beans for a couple of weeks. :)
Ghosts are often attracted to children. This child might have a very strong aura. There has been alot of hear say that points to the fact that babies might see ghosts. Personally I think its gas but oh well. BTW Haunted you might feel like e-mailing or pming me in 2007 or 2008. :(

In the words of Ash from the Evil Dead series, "Well helloooo Mr. Fancy pants!" Am I kidding? Hmm... I don't know just yet.

I know what orbs are supposed to be, I just think they're too...what's the word I'm looking for... "Look! Orbs!" for me. They, bunny ears, seem to be in every picture. I'm not saying that they aren't reflections of energy flashes (perhaps more likely to dust particles), but people get too excited about them.

This i definitely agree with. Too many people see orbs and go hog wild thinking tht it is a spirit. While orbs can be, there are several characteristics that could deem an orb as a spirit.

So, you're an expert in the "paranormal" (I put it in quotes, because I don't like that word or "supernatural." To me it's all Nature. Nature encapsulates everything). I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving us some sources and some experiences that you may have had. (We've been having a little trouble with a resident claiming to be a math expert, when in actuality he's delusional... so you'll pardon my paranoia).

Oh, i am pretty experienced in what i call Paranormal. I have been studying and researching Paranormal for many years. I have my own small research group called "OPI" (Ohio Paranormal Investigators). We are similar to a more famous group named "TAPS" which i'm sure some poeple on here have heard of. I take every paranormal picture, sound or and other evidence and i appraoch it to disprove it. I do beleive in the paranormal but i have to disprove it in any logical way and if i am left with only the paranormal option, then that is what i will use as my answer.

I'm an occultist or to put it in another way a practicing Witch. I'm not particularly Wiccan, because that's more of a religion complete with holidays, and doctrine (although there's not supposed to be doctrine) and dogma (not supposed to have dogma either) and a bunch of other shit that I don't need. I worship The Morrighan, cast spells, read Tarot, and other things if someone asks me nicely. (Just a small warning: Don't accuse me of being some nancy little hippie chick who secretly calls herself some stupid name. If you saw me on the street, I'd be wearing cut off jean shorts, a tank top, and slides).

My point... I know this shit like the back of my hand, and I still maintain, that Rayne got a really good aura shot.

It could very well be an aura. I'm not saying it isnt. Its just that i must approach each picture with the intention to disprove. Pictures are hard to use as proof because there are just too many things that can factor into it.

Rayne, you might want to find yourself a very very trustworthy psychic astrologer. A run of the mill astrologer is only going to give you shit like: Oh Libra is in this house and Aries is here, etc...

:confused: um...

".....Disgusting BLOB!!"

Who? Me or Ultimate Chaos? Probably both. Hey, but I talked a little with Pr3ssur3. He's not so bad. We just don't dance to the same music.

By the way, Filmmaker2, Rayne editted that picture, because she didn't want people to know what he said. That means, you probably shouldn't repeat it, otherwise the tireless efforts of "Fearless Leader" will be mocked. Thus you maybe tortured to death by watching huge men in black leather biting the heads off baby bunnies and spitting them at you.



(Goddess the thought of that makes me want to puke).

No, no, no....when Dan Ackroyd sees the green Onionhead ghost in ghostbusters, the first comment he makes about it is, "Disgusting blob!"
