Ghosts

I have debated publishing these for fear of ridicule. Ok that's not true because I thrive on criticism, but wanted to do it when I felt like relaying the latest ghost story...
First of all, I wasn't smoking when these where taken and I was taking pictures of other things when these showed up. I can't explain it either and don't really care if people think they are doctored or rigged in some way. I know their not. Anyhoo...

The other evening when we went to see Hot Fuzz with Mob and his lovely bride we had left Boo here alone. We got home around 7:30 and she is in the front yard shaking and muttering something about "our friend" who live in the house. Apparently while she was putting up dishes (this must have confused him because she doesn't do this without being beat, tied and locked in the crawl space under the bathtub), he started heavily rattling the cabinet doors above her head. She says this went on for a good half a minute before she ran outside to call us and her brother. We investigated and determined there wasn't anything against the door so we just chalked it up to another "incident". i feel bad for her because she seems to get the brunt of weird shit because she screams like a banshee and and runs out the door flaying about like a schitzo on crack. I think this fellow definetly has a sense of humor! :)
He is my new hero..

That is a little creepy. But, you gotta love a ghost with a sense of humor.

There have only been two times in my life when I was pretty sure I saw a ghost. And I was completely sober both times. But the only person I ever told was my sister cause she's the only one who wouldn't laugh at me.

Sylvia Brown always says to just tell them to "go home". I don't know if that works or not.

Mob said...

Try the Ghost Hunters people, I caught an episode of that show the other night, it's worth an e-mail, right?

MacGuffin said...

If you showed me those and asked what I thought from purely a photographic viewpoint I'd probably theorize that maybe there was a something on the lens (fingerprints for example) which can cause a similar effect when light hits it especially if it hits it from at an oblique angle.

Ghosts I know nothing about. I don't want to know. They give me the willies.

Blancodeviosa said...

michael- i could see it if it was in every photo, but its not. so i dunno?

Big Pissy said...

I believe in ghosts.

Those pictures are freak-y!

The prom night picture is lovely. :)

Pookie said...

It could be Patrick Swayze haunting your place...oh wait...he's not dead, just his career. haha j/k

I do believe there are ghosts out there, but I have yet to encounter one. I'm with Micheal on the very last sentence of his comment..."They give me the willies".

Blancodeviosa said...

pissy- yes, i think she looked amazing. too be that photogenic should be outlawed :)

pookie- oh damn, you dissed the swayze!!! too funny.
i used to get the willies, but now i am just a bad ass

Knitty Yas said...

duuuuude that's scary! ghosts scare the crap out of me and i know my mom's house is haunted. i hate stayin there.

Frank Marcopolos said...

good stuff. i wonder if ghostbusters, inc. is still in bidnez.

Blancodeviosa said...

yas- i've heard your stories.eeek..

frank- who ya gonna call?

In Ink said...

It wouldn't necessarily appear in every pic, or could be very faint, it depends on the direction of the light. Easy enough to check though, just take a look at your lens for any marks. There are a couple of other less likely camera-related possibilities like defects etc. I'd be happy to take a look if you want to send me the camera.

I don't like the ghost theory at all. Did I mention that ghosts give me the willies?

Blancodeviosa said...

yes, you said that, and sorry, but i do clean my lense. everytime...
i will just say you can be right

In Ink said...

I'm not trying to debunk the idea that ghosts exist, just trying to ignore it :-)

I've managed to explain a couple of 'ghost' and 'UFO' pics and videos in the past but a couple of weeks ago someone brought a photo to me that I couldn't explain.

At first I thought the silhouette behind the subject was just his own shadow. On closer inspection I noticed that:
- the shadow was nowhere near the same shape as the subject
- it looked like it was in front of an object that it partially obscured (instead of just casting a shadow on it)
- the main light source was at such an angle that a shadow cast by the subject would be unlikely to be visible in the photo

I should have asked them for a copy. They said they'd go back and try to recreate the same set up to see what results they got. I'll let you know if they come back.

Blancodeviosa said...

that's cool.. i really don't need an explaination,but whatever you want to send me will be cool. now if you could just explain moved objects from within a room with a closed door while your outside of it, i am all ears.

In Ink said...

Ghosts. Definitely. Or earthquakes. Fairies maybe?

I don't know. I do cameras. They don't give me the willies.

Blancodeviosa said...

oh, it will be ok..
i won't send em your way

scouts honor

Nikki Neurotic said...

Just about everyone I work with is convinced that the house we work in is haunted. There's seriously been some weird crap that no one can explain.

Blancodeviosa said...

silver- those are the things that make you say hmmm...

4 Non Blogs said...

Yep…those are ghosts alright.
Do shit to antagonize them like on Mob's above mentioned Ghost Hunters. Tell the ghosts that MacGuffin was talking about their mom. Then ask to speak to Jerry Falwell and fart on a bible.
That should do it.

Blancodeviosa said...

skin- that might just work ;)
hell, i fart on bibles just for fun!

MacGuffin said...

skinny, the ghosts won't show themselves to me cause I'm a Christian Cowboy yo.

4 Non Blogs said...

You and the Lord up on Brokeback Mountain, baby. "I can't quit you, Jesus!"

Yep...going to hell any day now...

MacGuffin said...

lol

Blancodeviosa said...

skin- omg.. too funny.
macguffin- oh i will give tammy so much shit today over that one ;)
