Ghost Photography

Hello all you ghostheads out there,

I would like to talk about ghost photography a bit.  I think everyone has seen pictures of what appears to be some sort of apparition or mist.  Maybe you have seen the pictures of the ghostly orbs.  Of course, as an investigator who looks for truth, I have an obligation to try and find a natural cause for unexplained phenomenon.  If I can't debunk it, only then will I consider it paranormal.  With pictures, it can be tricky.  First there is a phenomena called matrixing.  This is when trees or some kind of environment looks similar enough to something that our brains perceive it as that thing it resembles.  Its kind of like seeing Jesus' face in a door, or seeing an animal in the clouds.  It's an optical illusion.  Many ghost photographs can be explained by this.  Then you have the orbs.  They are little balls of light that appear in the picture.  Most of them can be explained by the light from the flash reflecting off of a shiny surface, or the light reflecting off of dust in the air.  Even light reflecting off of insects can create it.  

I have had the opportunity to look at a couple of photographs lately.  I like this one a lot.  I will not give my opinion on it.  I'll just post it and let you guys form an opinion for yourselves.  It is from a friend I met in college.  Take a look at this:

   
The picture was taken by the husband of my friend Claudia Rodriguez in California.  She told me that her husband, Chris, had taken this picture right after buying a new camera to test it out. The picture was taken in a house in Fresno that was built in 1960.  She reports that her family, "has seen shadows and heard voices."  She says that they have also had, "encounters with three black figures and a small boy."  It makes you wonder about the history of this house.  The face in the picture is clearly visible.

Again, I will let you decide what you think.  Feel free to comment and subscribe.  I will keep everyone posted as new events develop for me and my team.  Until next time!

Contact Me

Hello again,

My groups website is in the works right now.  It is looking good so far, but we need to tweak it some more.  I will post the link once we get it done.  Feel free to contact me at my blog's email: ewardparanormal@gmail.com.  I welcome comments, stories about personal experiences, and questions.  It takes a while to get a paranormal investigation team started and working.  It might be thought that all you need is some equipment and a location, but there is so much more to it than that.  We want to do it right, and become a respectable team.  Please bear with us as we get things together.  It will be worth the wait.

About Me

Hello everyone,

It feels so good to be able to share this adventure with everyone.  Of course, I am just starting out as an investigator, but I am not at all uneducated about the paranormal.  I have spent my whole life in its study.  I remember going to the library in elementary school.  The only books I seemed to check out were about ghosts, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, UFO phenomenon and anything that was deemed supernatural, unexplained, or paranormal. I went much deeper into my studies as I got older.  I have done extensive studies of religions, mysticism, magick, new age, mystery school teachings and psychic development.  

I have had numerous encounters with entities.  In fact, I grew up in a house that was haunted by a shadow spirit.  That is a great story, for another time.  I remember the first and best EVP I ever recorded.  It was me and my best friend/ co-team-founder Curtis Nealon.  We had a recorder in between the two of us as we sat on the floor, asking questions.  When we played it back, we heard what sounded like the most evil, demonic voice we had ever heard.  It spoke a language that was totally unfamiliar to us.  Like a lot of things in that house, the tape went missing.  We never found it.  I wish we still had a copy.

Now, we are going to put our collective knowledge to use by starting investigations.  I will use this blog to post updates on our progress and any evidence we collect.  I am excited to be able to share this journey with everyone.  We have waited a long time to get this project started.  Now, our journey has begun.  Until next time!
