I have a number of pictures taken at my home which are extreme to say the least. I bought a digital camera to take pics of my grandson while my daughter was pregnant, and my dog became severely ill which required him to be at the vets office overnight. I'm very close to him, and couldn't sleep so I went to the top of the stairs and took a pic of his bed. When my wife looked at it later and showed it to me I was amazed. I continued to take pictures and captured some of the most amazing phenomena I've ever seen. We knew upon buying this home that something unusual was happening--knocking on walls, doors opening and closing by themselves, something touching my wife's back, walking on the floor heavy and running up and down the stairs sounds while nobody was there. In addition, the fireplace in the living room is constructed in the most unusual design with materials not normally used for this. I worked in construction years ago and built fireplaces--and never have I nor anyone else I know seen one like this. Someone suggested that the materials used may act as a conduit for a dimensional portal. It is constructed of lavarock, quartz, agate and petrified wood. I am not a professional photographer (my family doesn't even like the pictures I take of them, so I guess I'm not very good), nor am I a paranormal researcher. What I am is extremely curious to identify anything in them. If you know of anyone who can assist in identifying anything from these pictures I would be extremely grateful.
Could you post some of those photos? Especially photo of a fireplace...
I don't know how to post pictures on this forum. How is it done?
Hmmm... It was possible before, but now? I think that you should PM Adrian(moderator) and ask him how to do this...

Hope this helps with some of them. I have many more including a black shadow "mist" that followed me up the stairs.
Those links take me to MY private messages. No pictures :cry: I am not sure how to upload pictures either. Maybe GANAMOHA would be kind enough to tell us how it is done.
I've received some photos from you. I was able to open only three of them, and there are rapidly moving lights in all of them. If you didn't seen those things when taking a photo, then metaphysical presence in your house must be really high. Normally it should manifest only in the form of barely visible orbs. Maybe this house was used for some kind of magick? Links that you've posted don't work, could you PM me with fireplace photos?
Have you had any strange dreams when sleeping in this house? You could also try to OOBE and look how does the house look in astral.

The fireplace was constructed by a physician from Czechoslovakia and her husband. The only dreams we've had concernng the house was a common one that my wife and I had. W didn't realize it until we started to talk about dreams we had just as many people do, and were shocked that we had such an exact duplicate This house if very large, and we dreamed that we came upon a basement and entered it, but after leaving it could not find it again. Upon further research, we learned that there was indeed a basement there at one time, but it was filled in (they are unusual for New Mexico anyway).

ok
We have all noticed here that not only are they non-malicious (there is an extreme feeling of peace in this house) my dog sees them and his ears stay in the relaxed, friendly position, my grandsons sees them and he laughs and smiles, and my autistic son, who I've known for some time is capable of seeing spirits, reacts with laughter, and since he is echolalic he is saying thing which he has not heard from any of us. I reached a conclusion awhile back that they are more like family than anything else, and I am happy they are here. I don't have the ability to see or hear them, but I got a strong feeling that the camera was annoying them which is why I stopped taking pictures. So although we exist in separate realms, we recognize that we are all spirits, us having a physical experience. I believe some of the pictures are of astral wildlife, but only because they are so unlike the others and because of some articles I read.

wow, does your house have a history of anyone dieing there. If so, maybe whoever died there died peacefully after living a good life. I still don't get why taking pictures would upset spirits though.
There are two reasons why taking spirit's pictures may bother them. I believe that you can only take their pictures if they allow you to. Beings that can travel at the speed of thought and pass through walls can hide very easily. First of all, most spirit activity occurs at night in the dark for some reason, or at least seems to. They many not like the light in this realm. A far more accurate answer in my opinion is that--we are all spirits, the only difference being that we are having a physical, 3rd density experience and they are not. I believe that they retain the same qualities they had while they were in 3rd density bodies. If we lived in the same house and I was chasing after you with a camera taking your picture all the time, you might tend to get angry. I sense there was a purpose in allowing this, but now that the purpose has been fulfilled (which I assume was to assist me in completing my passage out of the extreme close-minded skepticism for so many years, these pictures wiping out the last percentage of that), it is pointless for me to continue and I may simply be irritating them when I should be very grateful). My curiousity is not more important than their right to privacy, and since we seem to exist in the same space but not the same realm it should be a two-way street. The increase in accompanying phenomena when I felt like I was "pushing" it too much subsided when I stopped taking the pics. If you attempt to view it as more of a family issue, it makes more sense.

Wow migs !
I'm HYPNOTIZED by her extrrrremely beautiful eyes. :D :shock: :D
She's always had those eyes, her brother too. I was a single dad for many years, and probably not strict enough about her watching scary movies (not slasher ones!). She is amazingly open minded about most things, and her capacity for critical thought is excellent. In this particular area however, she tends to get really "spooked".

No, it would come from Moralons.
Hi migs,
Could you please tell us what kind of camera you used to take these pictures (eg make and model). Have you ever looked into the history of your house?
Kelly
The camera is a Sony Cybershot, 3.2 Mega-Pixels. The records regarding the house were destroyed in a fire during the '80s in the county. I did further research at the library however. Another home existed here in the 19th century owned by a prominent family with the surname Islas. It was torn down at some time and another small building built by an elderly physician named Leland Evans, and when he retired his practice and the remainder of the house was built by a physician from Czechoslovakia name Natalia Ausky. I suspect that the fireplace was built by the Auskys as well, although there is no way of confirming this. There are stories that all of these homes were built over native american burial grounds and/or the burial sites of settlers who were killed by the native americans who lived in this valley for many years. My children's ancestry on their mother's side is from these same people, a little-known tribe called the Piro-Manso-Tiwa. My son appears to have the ability to see and hear them, something I noticed years ago but as an extremely close-minded skeptic attributed to hallucinations. When my stepfather died in 2001, there was a problem with the trustee who made a failed attempt at stealing the money. She had cleaned out everything in my parents home regarding financial records, but had overlooked on very important book of statements. When we pulled that book out of the drawer, a framed drawing of my stepdad that had been on the wall for about seven years "popped" right off of the wall at exactly the same time. My son, who is autistic, was looking in a direction that appeared to have nothing but he started laughing and backing up--exactly the way he reacted around my stepdad. He is echolalic, which means that he repeats what he hears, and in this house he laughs and says things that we have never heard him say, followed by ok? ok! My grandson, who is nine months old apparently sees them too, as he looks in a direction that there appears to be nothing and laughs and smiles. My dog constantly is looking all around-one minute he's lying there and the next he's up and looking everywhere. He seems to be the most mystified by the whole thing--he doesn't bark, but it seems as if he can tell the difference between solid "people" and corporeal spirits. I took one of the pictures when he was looking up in the air at something and sure enough it was there. I sincerely wish I could provide an answer to the origin of them--I don't even know if they stay here, or come and go. The picture I took in my room of the two on the couch with the solid orbs was taken during the daytime. The only way I see to find answers would be to astrally project, something I'm not capable of yet. Beyond seeing a mist so dense (like an extreme fog) at night in the living room (you can't even see the corners of the room in low light levels) and catching a rare glimpse from the corner of my eye I am incapable of seeing or hearing them. They have on several occasions called out my wife and daughter's name. This did not bother my wife at all-she's from the UK and has worked in hospice for many years, but spooked the hell out of my daughter who, I think, has watched waay to many "scary" movies. Explaining to her that they have never done anything scarier than pushing on my wife's back when she was laying on the couch, have never broken anything, and have quite obviously entertained her son to the point that he was giggling have done nothing to sway her opinion. When she spends the night she insists on having the company of my stepdaughter, who is only 10 and has absolutely no fear whatsoever of the spirits (however when she was younger she always pointed at what she called her "angel", and I have a picture of something hovering above her at that age. In the second "vortex" picture, she is asleep on the couch and the vortex is right above her. Still a complete mystery to me.
Simply wonderous... I'm not even going to try to discount this one!
The only thing which would interest me in their proof is if one can capture motion in several frames over a second or two- that would really be interesting, and impossible to deny...
Have you been able to study their properties? Several of the snake-like forms seem to travel linearly and leave trails, such as the one which appears to be exiting a candle...
The grey-mist entities also appear to have roughly humanoid forms...
What other conclusions were you able to make before you decided to terminate research?
My wife lived in the Netherlands for about ten years, and she recalls that while she was looking for a place to live, there was one that beautiful but she felt such a strong presence of evil that she would not even enter it completely. We have never felt like that here, even when the accompanying phenomena increased which I felt was due to my excessive picture taking, there has always been a feeling of peace and warmth here. We felt welcome from the first day we saw the house and still do. , It is almost as though they are like an extended family. It may be because of our open attitude, the fact that we realize all of us are spirits, the difference being that we are having a physical experience. I don't know how many of them are here, but one of my pics showed at least fifty orbs on the walls, and we don't know who they are but we have heard the voices of two women taking on the monitor I have set up in my son's apartment (it's a very large house). They were not speaking loud enough to hear what they were saying, but the voices were unmistakeable. My daughter was in the kitchen one day and my grandson was in a bassinet in the living room. There are smalll stained glass doors for passing meals through and it is easy to hear everything in the living room. My daughter heard a woman's voice which stated something like "look at the baby" and ran around into the living room. The bassinet was rocking! Although I certainly can't say anything for sure, they seem as if they were kind and decent people-that's just my subjective opinion based on my own observation. That is the impression I have of them and nothing has happened to change my mind about it. Even when the phenomena increased, it was more of a harmless, noise making variety--to me it seemed like a gentle message to back off and show some respect, which I did.
There is something you might want to try, if you don't think the spirits would mind. Get a tape recorder and try recording them. Even if you cannot hear them the recorder might be able to pick them up. You might even be able to communicate with them like this.
http://www.mcmsys.com/~brammer/evpfilepage2.htm
That would seem a novel experiment, provided you don't think that you have overstepped your bounds with their privacy...
I am speechless as you describe all of these odd occurences, though- your home seems to be the nexus of a multitude of trans-dimensional life and phenomena...
WOW!
That is soooo cool...what I wouldn't give to live in a house like yours.

I feel for ya bro. Are those spirits malicious at all? Earth-bound ones generally are.

We did this.... oh gosh I'd say over twenty years ago in the haunted house we use to live in. We were sitting around in the dark talking about ghost and what nots. Nothing spectacular happened while we were trying to scare each other...but when we listened to the tape it was freaky!!
It was like all these other ppl were there talking in this really fast high pitched voices. Being the skeptic I was even at that age, I thought there was something wrong with the tape and the recorder, but it was one of those really old ones where you couldn't adjust the speed of the tape, and the fact that our voices were fine, is where I found myself not being able to find a reason for it.
What I find funny about that whole thing is we were freaked out for that night, and then we just forgot about it...ahhhh the joys of being young with the attention span of a fly. :D
Nay

In this case no. We are all teachers and we are all students, whether we are spirits having a physical experience or not. Initially, I felt that I was teaching them, as I go inside myself to learn, and I was never told who they are or what their purpose was. Although still curious (and after displaying a tremendously arrogant, disrespectful and obnoxious attitude to them) I still don't know much about them. I came to realize that I was not "surprising" them at all--the pics I took were entirely within their power to offer, not mine to take. Fear can be either rational or irrational, and I have learned great lessons. We view our problems from their symptoms, and whatever route we take will arrive at the same conclusion. A simple example--say we have a substance abuse "problem". Follow that to a fear of our emotions, learning the balance in controlling them with our intellect and using the substance to block the emotions out. What is the lesson? The drugs are a sympton, the fear is a symptom, the lesson is gaining control of yourself. If you do not have this, you have nothing. Balance in these polarity realms is the most important of all lessons. Belief is a distraction--you can believe whatever you wish, but that doesn't make it so. Experience is all that matters, it is the teacher. To make a long story short, my experience with these spirits has been positive--I see it on the face of my grandson and son, I hear it in their laughs. When I pushed it too far with the pics, these spirits could have done great damage, it is within their power--instead I received gentle, almost comical nudges to back off. So I follow my experience.....
Nay, I am sure this is a silly question but do you still have the tape?
Quote from: fallnangel77Nay, I am sure this is a silly question but do you still have the tape?
It's not a silly question at all. We did look for it a year or so later when it came to my mind again, but couldn't find it. With six kids, it was bound to go missing.. :P
I wish I could hear it now, because I am curious as to what my reaction would be, so many years and experiences later.
Nay
I can't download pics either, yet.
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 exaclty the same trail, because the shutter speed was open and you moved the cammera in direction.
As I am not a photographer, you may very well be correct about the streaks. This does not explain the other pics however. As a true open-minded skeptic, I will first search for any logical and normal explanation first, and I welcome any information such as this. There are a number of these pics that simply defy an easy explanation however. I take the same approach with other phenomena as well; when we first moved in, there was a knocking on the bedroom wall. My first thought was that something had to be hitting outside, or the sound wasn't coming from the wall. After looking into all possible explanations, it became apparent that it was coming from the wall and increasing in intensity. It stopped as quickly as it started, and I never found an adequate explanation. Much of the other phenomena could only have been explained by paranormal sources--to attempt a logical explanation for it would have required stretching the parameters of logic to fit the circumstance so far that it would sound ridiculous. If anyone requests the full pics which have not been reduced in size for convenience I will be more than happy to send them as I welcome any analysis I can find.

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.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/migs/ectoshape1.jpg)
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'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%.
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.
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.
QuoteI 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".
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...
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.

Does anyone here know anything about these shadow ghosts? They block a full out flash to obscure the wall, and I have encountered this twice now. There is scarce information about them on the internet. What I am hoping is that someone on this site who has done astral projection has encountered this before and can offer any information at all. Anyone?
Hi migs - you know out of all these pics, the ones that interest me the most are the ones with the orange light glowing on-top of your fireplace on pages 2 and 6. On page 2 there is actually a string of light sweeping down to the glowing ball on the fireplace. I find it difficult to believe it's a camera effect as they're taken at slightly different positions and the energy forms are always on or around that strange fireplace.
Thanks for the pics my friend. :)
Hi Captain
Picard is one of my favorite characters! Another interesting shot is from the candle on the table. These type of shots are easy to do with any digital, however, this one is casting a reflection. This does not happen with light anamolies from digital cameras. BTW, my wife is from the UK, a small town called Maidenhead.

Hmm... on that last series of photos, the fact that both the trails of light are exactly the same renders them, in my opinion, slightly dubious, looks like it has more to do with camera-shake etc.
That said, some of the pictures are certainly compelling!

Yeah I know maidenhead; it's not to far from where I live just of the M4 Junction 9 I believe!
Yeah I take Muesli point about the trails of light being the same render but in different positions, which is quite dubious...
Maybe they are intelligent energy forms duplicating other energy forms by synchronising energy forms.
Ok that is perhaps a-little to far fetched.
But it's interesting the way the light remains around that fireplace, their is something very unusual going on there. :roll:
A thought has occured as to how one might go about achieving such pictures deliberately:
First you would need the room to be entirely dark except the candles or other light-source/s you were intending to 'ghost' - which, actually looks to be the case in the pictures above. Then you would set the flash-time to half or some other fraction of the total shutter speed duration; for instance, a total shutter speed of one second, but the flash only occurring for, say, a third of a second. Then, when taking the picture, you would hold the camera steady while the flash went off, illuminating the room, and then immediately after, in the following darkness, you could move the camera, which would record the trails created by the candles and nothing else - the rest of the room would be dark enough not to blur the resultant image of the room, and the trails of light would effectively be superimposed on top of the picture, with the illusion of them occupying the same temporal-spacial realm. This method would account for the effects shown above I think, although I have yet to put this to the test in the comfort of my own home - something I will surely do if I have time.
I am not suggesting for a second that these pictures were created with the deliberate aim of trickery, however, merely seeking to account for something that does not seem paranormal to my eyes.
Even though you have remarked that you are unwilling to photograph these spirits any further, I would suggest for the sake of credibility and interest the filming of a small section of video footage. As a rule, in this modern age of digital madness, photographic evidence of paranormal phenomena is fundamentally flawed - (again, not suggesting you have done this, but) anyone can buy a digital camera, get a copy of photoshop and produce realistic-looking images of ghosts, psi-balls, auras, simulacra, UFOs etc etc etc. In general, for the amateur film-maker, producing realistic effects on film is a much harder task, and the gaps show more clearly - unless of course you happen to be an employee at a CGI or similar post-production company, in which case, you could fool anyone probably with enough time on your hands!
But, if there really are spirits there, which it certainly sounds like there are, I'm sure you have no need to prove their existence to yourself, and I'm sure they at least need no further affirmation of their existence :)
Just posing as the playful skeptic :D

those are the most incredibly pics i've ever seen. ever think of posting a few on the coasttocoastam.com website? as far as moving the camera, that doesn't explain the ectoplasm shapes or the orbs...plus i don't see where it would be possible to get the light trails in front of the beam in the foreground in the picture above. amazing and so glad that their friendly's!!!
thanks for sharing
that's some fireplace.
Migs, you posted a picture of a nice women...the most interesting pic of all... :-)
If she is your sister, i think she must come to Portugal :-)
Kiding....she is very,very beautiful...your girlfriend?

Looks like the smoke from a cigarette or similar, but this kind of pictures is the most interesting ones you've posted
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/migs/ectomist2.jpg
Your finger is in the way

Try again with the light sources turned off

Probably internal camera reflections, I've seen that aswell and I've always been able to find an object that was reflected somehow into the weirdish thingies.
I'm not saying that you are deliberately making fake pictures, but they don't really look very amazing to me. Digital cameras are often slow, which increases the likelihood of weird but not "unnatural" pictures.
I always appreciate open-minded skepticism--I am not a photographer, but I never attempt to "fake" anything. I wouldn't know how. Please examine the following two pics and offer an explanation. If you can successfully replicate these, I will be enormously impressed.

I would love to see these images reproduced. I saved all of them on my camera, so no photoshop, etc. is allowed in any attempts at reproduction. I maintain open-minded skeptic mindset, and if you can do this, I will be very grateful.
I can try, and if I fail I'll just blame it on having a different type of camera :P
btw what camera do you use? exact model and stuff if possible thx :D
It's a Sony DSC-P32 Cyber-shot 3.2 megapixels. Good luck with this, any information I can come up with is useful.
