FEBRUARY 2007 GALLERY
This is a special addition Paranormal Gallery for
February. Most of these photos were in our files collecting
dust so we thought we should finally post them for the world
to see. Some of them have already made their rounds on
different
sites while
others are being introduced here for the first time ever.
There are 20 photos in this gallery! WE MAKE NO CLAIMS TO THE AUTHENTICITY OF THESE PHOTOS.
Danny writes, “This was the second of
several visitations in my home. This
particular photo displays what appeared on
our bathroom mirror. We cleaned the mirror
and removed it…then at some point it
reappeared. We cleaned it again and it never
returned. We suspect that the ghost in our
haunted home was displaying an image of
itself. We have also had crucifixion
candlesticks moving around on the table by
themselves and a painting flew off the wall.
The painting was of the Virgin Mary and the
candlesticks had the image of Jesus on
them!”
Traci
writes, "This photo
was taken in the
late afternoon of
Saturday November
25th, when the
Central Illinois
Ghost Investigators
took a trip to the
famous Bachelor's
Grove Cemetery in
Chicago Illinois. As
usual, we saw
nothing with the
naked eye. But we
feel that this
picture has too much
detail to be just an
illusion. We just
wish that we could
have been a little
closer to her when
the photo was taken."
PHOTO FEATURED ON EBAY
Tony writes, "this is a real photo
showing a young child
playing on the floor. Around her
you can see an old stick
and ball wicker rocking chair -
another fancy chair - a very
decorated rug on the floor - and
what looks like a GHOST right
next to the baby. I suppose some
could say it was a "trick" of
the camera, but I'm not sure how
they would have accomplished
that back in the early 1900's?!!
The ghostly image looks like
another small child - sitting on
the floor next to the live
child. See for yourself. The
"evidence" seems to
speak for itself."

GHOST FACE IN HELMET!
Chuck writes, "This is cropped from a larger
photo. The guy in the chair was recovering
from a motorcycle accident (his face has
been blurred to protect his identity). When
the photo was developed, a face was seen
peering out of the helmet on the table.
Although the photo is in color, the face is
black & white; pretty much how a real
person's face would reflect back from the
darkly tinted glass. If it had a strong
light on it - like the sun coming through
the window - and if they were inches away
from the helmet glass. Except that no one
was there to be reflected."
Jennifer
writes,
"this
picture
was
taken
February,
2002. I
had just
come
from an
overnight
ghost
hunt at
an old
Inn. We
stopped
to take
pictures
at this
old
cabin,
which is
used as
an old
General
store.
It was
closed
for the
winter
season
at the
time we
stopped
and I
snapped
this
photo.
As you
can see,
clearly
in front
of the
window
is face
of some
sort."
Gary
writes, "We took a few pictures of the
outside of the Glensheen Mansion in
Duluth, Minnesota, and in this photo
looking out of the window on the upper
right it appears to look like a full
apparition of an elderly lady, possibly
the previous owner, Elizabeth Congdon,
peering out of the window overlooking
Lake Superior. This was believed to be
her bedroom and the room in which she
was murdered; but also doing her
favorite pastime in the life she lived
prior: staring out at the beautiful Lake
Superior."
In 1968
two cryptozoologists, Ivan Sanderson, a
science writer, and
Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans, a Belgian
naturalist, thought they'd made the find
of the century. The two of them heard
about creature, not quite human and very
hairy, that was preserved in a block of
ice. The creature had been shown in
carnivals and fairs across the
mid-western United States. Its
exhibitor, Frank Hansen, had claimed
that it was a "man left over from the
Ice Age" and charged 25 cents for a peek
at the thing in its refrigerated, glass
coffin. Sanderson and Heuvelmans drove
to Hansen's farm where the thing had
been stored for the winter. In a cramped
trailer they examined the creature and
became convinced that they had found a
Neanderthal Man, Bigfoot or something
similar. After three days of study
Heuvelmans believed the beast was
authentic. The doctor even smelled the
putrefaction where some of the flesh had
been exposed from the melted ice. They
also discovered that the thing had
apparently been shot through the eye.
Another report had a Hollywood special
effects firm claiming them created the
create in 1967
Sandy writes, "This was taken in August of 2005
at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka
Springs, Arkansas. SPIRIT
Seekers was allowed to come to
the hotel for an investigation,
and this is one of the pictures
that we got. It was taken by
Lori in the conservatory."
Bev writes, "The lady in
the color photo is my
granny, She
lived on her own until age
94, when her mind started to
weaken and had to be moved
to an assisted living home
for her own safety. At the
end of the first week, there
was a picnic for the
residents and their
families. My mother and
sister attended. My sister
took two pictures that day,
and this is one of them. It
was taken on Sunday,
8/17/97, and we think the
man behind her is my grandpa
who passed away on Sunday,
8/14/84. We did not notice
the man in the picture until
Christmas Day, 2000 (granny
had since passed away),
while browsing through some
loose family photos at my
parents' house. My sister
thought it was such a nice
picture of granny that she
even made a copy for mom,
but still, nobody noticed
the man behind her for over
three years! When I arrived
at my parents' house that
Christmas day, my sister
handed me the picture and
said, "Who do you think this
man behind granny looks
like?" It took a few seconds
for it to sink in. I was
absolutely speechless. The
black and white photos show
that it really looks like
him."
Ben writes, "This doll
was recently for sale on
eBay.
The auction stated that
the doll was given to a
young girl in the
hospital before she
died. After the death of
the girl the doll began
to take on a life of
it's own. Some of the
activity was beginning
to scare the family
until they finally gave
it away. The new owner
promptly sold it on
eBay."
Turk writes, "I think this is so
cool. I have done
studies on the ocean and
have discovered that in
myth mermaids were made
to protect the ocean.
They were not meant to
be beautiful or
handsome. They were made
in fact that if any
sailor were to trespass
their domain the
mermaids would lure them
to their lier to be
killed, so that the
sailors could not get
back to land and tell of
their secrets. If any
sailor escaped to tell
the tale no one would
believe him and consider
him insane. I believe in
the inevitable and that
we really don't know
what is out there unless
we go and find out for
ourselves. If it is real
I would love to know
more about it, however
if it is fake then it
would be the closest
thing to the truth of
what mythical mermaids
looked like...awesome!"
We suspect manipulation
but fun anyway. :)
THIS PAINTING
SOLD ON EBAY
Brenda writes, "Mediums
brought the
spirit into the
painting. She
will often speak
aloud to people
who stare into
the picture or
even walk out of
the painting and
walk the house
at night.
Standing in
full view of its
empty, dark
windows as
twilight
deepened,
filled us with a
sense of dread.
The dull glow of
a bloated moon
peering through
a curtain of
trees gave
relief to the
grey bulk
before us which
quickly became
enshrouded by
Night. … Then
we entered the
darkness beyond
the door, we
called for the
Spirit to enter
the painting, to
try to help her
…Help her from
the home where
she was no
longer welcome.
It worked in a
way, but she
still walks from
the painting,
but she is the
artist. Three
mediums did the
job they was
hired to do. The
painting was
removed from the
mansion and put
in storage for a
few years.
Donated to the
Investigations
Ghost hunting
group in 2006 it
is our newest
arrival. Upon
taking the
photo's for the
auction we
noticed a face
in the painting.
Many strange
events have been
noted within the
company of the
painting.
Nothing evil
that we know of,
but a lot of
paranormal
activity. We
have a recorded
EVP that we will
try to have in
this auction.
Look close at
the pictures and
you will see the
woman of the
Main Street
mansion. Below
you can see the
face appear
looking slightly
to the left, but
not as much as
the other
picture which
she is looking
straight on. The
painting does
not have this
face painted on
it. It was
caught with the
camera. The
frame is
included and is
real wood.
Ron writes, "Here's a snap I was given from
someone in my line of work as a
photo processor. I've never seen
anything like it in all the ten
years I've been doing it! All I know
is that it's a church in France and
she was just as puzzled about it as
I was when I printed it, and she
didn't even recall taking it. It was
taken on an ordinary automatic APS
camera and looks to me like someone
walking through the door holding a
bomb with a fuse. Spooky!
This
ghost photo was taken in 1999 at
Historic Worley B&B Inn
in Dahlonega, Georgia.
The owners hired a
photographer to take publicity
photos of the inn and its rooms. One
contained the faint image of the
upper portion of a man lying on the
bed. The Inn's owners believe the
figure may be the ghost of Claude
Worley. A descendant of Captain
William Jasper, he reportedly died
in the house in 1889 after being hit
by a train.
They
write, "One day
my brother and his
friends went to this
haunted, deserted house
that's over
180 years old. It's in
Antioch, TN. They
brought their camera and
took pics,
and
things showed up in the
pics that weren't there.
I circled them in red."
