My feelings exactly, If I saw something that would give me some hope there is something after this life.
A few years back my wife and I were in Savanah, GA walking down the water front. I hear a tour barker selling one of their haunted walking tours. She is telling the guy just last week a woman saw a Confederate soldier walk out of the cemetery. Perfect that is just what I need, He can walk of the cemetery and I will shake his hand. So I sign my wife and I up for the midnight tour. My wife was not very happy about it.
So a few minutes to midnight we arrive at the square a small park where the tour is to start. The guide says take lots of pictures as you may or may not see a ghost, paranormal, etc. and most show up on photos as "orbs". I say to myself I don't want to see an orb I want to see the guy walk out of the cemetery an Orb can be anything.
So I do as he says, we stop at this haunted spot, pictures, pictures, pictures. We go to the cemetery, Pictures, pictures, pictures. We visit this tavern, that house, this pot and that, pictures, pictures, pictures. There were a lot of looney tune believers on the tour. I feel energy over here, I feel this over there. Blah, blah, blah. I started to mock them while taking my pictures. I saw nothing, I felt nothing.
I get a home a few days later and start going through the pics on my disc. I took a few hundred pics on the tour. Most were spots on the photo, "orbs". That could be anything, dust humidity, who knows what?. But there were two pictures that have me thinking.
The first was the very first picture I took before the tour started, at the park.
I took a picture from across the street toward the park where the tour was gathering. There was a cross walk painted on the street and a person walking across the street toward me (a real person that was in our tour). Next to him on the left side of the photo to the persons right was a "ghostly" image of what was clearly a little girl in a Victorian dress carrying a basket.
The other was of a two story brick Colonial house. Center door, two windows on the left of the door, two on the right of the door. Second floor center was a Palladian window with two windows on the left and two windows on the right. The windows had white sheer curtains drawn and the interior of the house was dark. I depressed my shutter that took a series of about twenty photos in a second and a half. One photo about six photos into the series showed the first window to the right of the door with a whitish image in the window. This could have been a glare from a flash from another camera? However, when you zoomed in. It was again a "ghostly" image of an elderly woman in a white night gown looking out the window, holding back the drape. All the other photos before and after were of the dark house.
So what are those two images? I couldn't tell you for sure. The skepticism in me says special effects as part of the tour. However you would think others would post on the interweb of their experience and something similar? I have seen nothing that comes close to the images in my two photos or a comment that would closely resemble my photos, the cross walk or the house. Unfortunately, I had the computer crash that stored those two photos and lost them otherwise I would post.
EDIT:
On the other side of my unexplained photos, my great grand father built our family home in 1906. Several people have died in that hose. My grandmother, great grandmother and it is my understanding one person was murdered in the house.
I have never had an experience that couldn't be waved off as just an old house doing what old houses do. I try, trust me I try to believe.
