Just a thought that occurred to me while reading this thread...

You said your son repeats what he hears... and I don't know if this would work, but have you thought about trying to communicate with them, having him be an "interpreter" of sorts?  Like, you ask them something, and he repeats what, if anything, he hears them say?  

In any case, just wanted to say I find your experiences fascinating.  I'm not sure I'd go as far as the person who said they'd want to live in such a house, but it would definitely be neat to witness *something* that couldn't be explained by conventional means.

Oh well, Nay, maybe the tape will turn up some day. I use to live in a house that I have concluded was haunted, atleast there was some odd things that went on there. I did not come to this conclusion until I was moving out though (which had nothing to do with the odd activity) so I did not have an opportunity to experiment. Things usually happened far enough apart so that when something did happen I had forgotten about the last time. Right before I moved out things were happening more frequently and I started thinking about all the events. Nothing happened that was threatening, more just attention getting it seemed.

Migs, I also have very strange photographs that I take at my home.  You can see several from my past posts.  I have not been able to access your photos.  I know you made some indication that you want to leave the Spirits in peace and not continue to photograph them anymore.  I know with some of the photos I posted there is the inevitable doubt that its camera malfunction or other explainable cause and not paranormal.  I went out and got a Sony video camera with infrared and a tripod and turned it on before going to bed in my living room.  I did get several ORBS that pass thru during the night.  Most of the ORBS seem to be attracted to my dog however I got one about one hour after going to bed.  Perhaps you could try this.  Also Sony audio recorder with digital circuitry worked and I got several EVP's.  Got a laugh, and the names Edith, also Im Black or Im back. They seem easy to get but you have to be very careful for external noise sources.  I tried recording about 2 A.M. and turned off all fans and put the dog out as I kept getting his breathing. At least I hope it was the dog.  Ha.   Also the Sony Camcorder actually has an excellent recorder and you could try videoing your EVP attempt as I did.  I do not know for certain why I have a Spirit presence but I have been doing a lot of praying over the past two years and trying to grow spiritually in nature.  I believe that the paranormal presence I experience is God saying to be I do exist and am here if you call upon me.

i hate to say this but it looks like you have the shutter speed open for too long.  When you leave the shutter speed open it captures all the light that has been there, thats why in that one with the two candles they have exactly the same trail, because the shutter speed was open and you moved the camera in direction.

I'm really sorry if you're only one (besides me) who thought of that in this thread.

I will never interfere in their peace again.  Also, one important thing I've learned that you can have the best photographs, etc. in the world, and offer the to anyone, and know in you heart that is exactly what it is, with the only way of explaining it-it is what it is.  There are people who could be standing there watching lava running down their feet, watching the smoke coming out and ask "what volcano".  This is an extreme exaggeration and I was never literally at that point but close.  This taught me that skepticism is always a good thing, as long as it is with an open mind.  Those with closed-minds can never learn as they feel they "know everything" already. For a long time I foolishly believed that I was somehow "catching" them offguard.  This is simply not the case as I've discovered.  If they don't want their pics taken, you simply will not be able to take them --they will not be there.  I have also learned that there is no such thing as an accident or a coincidence.  Although you are free to show as much of this as you like, it is always meant for you to see, (or those close to you who know and trust you).  We are all both students and teachers of every other spirit.

"I beLIEve that"
Beliefs do not matter whatsoever; if you're searching for truth, accepting them without question could result in pure distractions and dead ends.  Experience is ALWAYS the teacher.  I could disagree on your belief in a monotheistic diety, or with those many who worship established pantheistic dieties but it would do no good and I will NEVER do so.  I believe that we each have a higher-self and that it does lead to a first source that one could call "God", but it is still a belief and as such may be completely wrong.

Yes, The world would be a much better place if more people practiced humility.  Some people you can talk to for hours trying to explain something at its no use. We need to let go or get dragged.

If the effects in these pictures were produced by a slow shutter speed, it seems to me that in order to get a lot of the pictures the image would have to be a lot more blurry to get the effect.

The vast majority of pics I took under all light settings showed the room exactly how it was with no phenomena whatsoever.  By all means there was not an interesting pic every time I shot--perhaps only 20%.

[Mister Anjilek]

I would be interested in seeing pictures taken from other angles other than on the stairs. The candle one I tend to think is a camera issue. The others could be some sort of lighting anomaly from the same position at the top of the stairs(as they appear). If you could recreate results from say the fireplace area or couch, you would have an excellent case for paranormal activity.

I'm not a skeptic, I just like to be analytical in my thinking. The photo's are very thought provoking for sure.

[narfellus]

The photos are very interesting, but migs has already expressed his desire to not take anymore. I can understand that, there's probably nothing worse than living in a home with unhappy incorporeal spirits (not that i've done it, but i've heard the stories).

I wonder migs if these spirits were once human, or never human, or if they even know they are dead, and are indeed earthbound? You should have a medium come sometime to do a light reading, if you can find a reliable source and not a gimmicky money-hound.

I have wondered this myself.  Some of the phenomena, most notably the large yellow "goliath", etc. seems more related to what I've read about astral wildlife, and as far as the large glowing ball and the vortex I have no idea at all.  This was primarily what I was attempting to learn about.  In the picture with a very large number of orbs in motion, I had outwardly requested two good pictures the day before.  I got one, and it appeared on the fifth shot (if you look carefully, they are even in the background on the upper right part of the pic).  I'd like to think that we have come to an understanding--I don't bother them, and although my dog continues to see and/or hear them (it is so obvious you'd have to be blind to miss it) and my grandson smiles and laughs at something none of us can see there are no other manifestations of accompanying phenomena.  I had thought of locating a medium, or someone who is accomplished at traveling in the astral realm, but locating honest people to do this is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.  
I also want to restate this; I am not a professional photographer, and have extremely limited experience with cameras.  My experience tells me the phenomena is true.  However people will always believe what they wish, and I understand this and agree with it completely.  I would be happy to provide unresized pics to anyone who requests them for analysis.  I am an open-minded skeptic which I believe is the only honest position to take, and although I have my experience which I base my beliefs on, they are still my beliefs and I could be completely wrong.  If we arrive at a point where we think we know everything, we can no longer learn.  I have conducted a search for answers, first through science which I'm good at and can understand, and then by going within myself through meditation techniques.  The more I learned, the more I realized how much I didn't know, and I am at the point where I believe that the total is so vast that we can never know it all here.  I had two dreams that I remember vividly, once when I was very close-minded and one last year.  The first time I was floating in a place in which all knowledge was available to me in the form of sound, written words, concepts.  I was so filled with awe that it is difficult to describe, but it seemed as if all knowledge was available to me, not learned in the way we do here.  I awoke in tears, speechless.  The second time I awoke laughing--at myself.  All of this studying and attempting to understand everything which seemed so complex here, was there (and this is the only phrase that comes to mind to describe it) "profoundly simple".  I knew this was not an ordinary "dream".  I wondered if it just happened those two times or if it happens on a regular basis and I just happened to awake right after.  My best guess, and the most honest assessment I think any of us can make is "I don't know".

[narfellus]

oh, i think your Higher Self was trying to tell you something in regards to your current state of mind/concerns. And i believe we travel astrally in dreams every night, sort of "recharging" and forget just about every symbolic image that we encounter. From what i understand it takes time and practice to travel out of body and lucid dream, and to recall with any true clarity the etheric realms. But that's the whole point, to teach our physical bodies to transcend to the spiritual. Divine Providence had a helluva wild plan with duality, if you ask me...

[migs]

I remembered the experience, but not the information--I honestly think that no person incarnated here could remember all of that, and if they did it would defeat the entire purpose of our "time" here--experience.  There was always a question that bothered me during my years as a close-minded skeptic.  I was an avid student of science, and I took notice that bacteria, which don't have "brains" in any sort of cognizant sense developed some of the most    complex methods of defeating antibiotics I've ever seen, absolutely amazing!  Carry that on up to the design of anything, birds,  and especially us--we have the ability to even ask these questions about ourselves, existence, reality, etc.  This question did not fit in my worldview, which was typical of those with close-minds.  When we die, that's it, game over, etc., etc,.....
After several incidents occurred which I would have had to stretch the close-minded mindset so far that the explanations would have appeared far more bizarre than just taking them for what they were, I spent two solid years studying the works of Einstein (who, in my opinion "sold out"), his top, Nobel Prize winning protege, Dr. David Bohm with his holographic theory, neurophysiologist Karl Pribram with his holonomic brain theory (which was developed entirely independently of Bohm's),  the experiment in '82 concerning non-locality conducted by french physicist Dr. Alain Aspect which violated Bell's theorem and validated Bohm's theory, the research conducted by Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. Brian Josephson on physics and consciousness, the research conducted by retired Stanford University professor Dr. William Tiller (material science and physics) on physics and consciousness,  Dr Amit Goswami on same--the list goes on and on.  Accepted science is now that matter is comprised of photons connected by a weak (scalar, magnetoelectric?) link--etc., etc., etc., on and on and on and on.......and then one day sitting there laughing at myself, the best laugh I'd had in years upon realizing that the very question I had suppressed because it did not fit into my worldview was not a question at all--it was an answer!!  Damn, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake was right after all, we are of intelligent design, and our parents did not draw the blueprints, nor did theirs!!  Add in any extraterrestrial factor you want (and I do believe they meddled with our "adaptations", "missing link" my butt!  Who drew the blueprints for them?  I have my beliefs of course, taken from a great deal of study as to the purpose of our existence (and even of the purpose of the ET's existence), but it's not suitable for this forum (glad to provide it upon request however in an email).  I laughed because the answer I was searching for, about the existence of other realms could be found by looking at my hand!

I was a close-minded skeptic for many years, and about four years ago became an open-minded skeptic. Close-minded skepticism is very close to a religion that some refer to as "scientism", an adherence to 19th century science as though nothing has occurred since then, and similar to religion (thee, thou, etc.) Science has done a remarkable job of studying parts, but has learned that it is difficult to study the box when you are part of it (the observer and the observed are one).  Below is a link to an excellent article written by Winston Wu, and also one posted on the website of Nobel Prize winning physicist Brian Josephson--and although you may disagree with some of the premises, they makes some excellent points:

I have learned this--"I don't know" is a very good philosophy, because in truth, you don't-and-when you believe you know everything, you can learn nothing.
