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!
