Do you believe in ghosts ?

Thunder is the atmosphere slamming back together, not giants up in the clouds bowling, or Thor slamming his hammer against something.

Your mind is like a steel trap that has snapped shut!

You confuse simplistic stereotypical interpretations for a real phenomena that defies explanation at this time. Something is happening that can not be explained by the usual suspects, so instead of recognizing the events are happening you deny that they ever happened.

The opening speakers were the "She Squatchers" who spoke of Native Indian accounts of Bigfoot, as well as the existence of portals. During their own adventures, the She Squatchers mentioned following bigfoot tracks which would abruptly end with "portal" signs.

The book "Quantum Bigfoot" was showcased at the event
I have not read the book, however, the amazon reviews in the link seem to explain it well.

A simple google search of "interdimensional bigfoot" gets hits like this:

For me, too much conjecture. Using these same guidelines, I could argue the Easter Bunny is interdimensional, and that Superman teleported into my house last night and stole my remote controller. Anyone who disagrees with me is close minded.

Funny thing-

Several nights later, he teleported back into my house, returning my remote under the couch pillows, where I promptly found it.

You should back off the Shrooms dude.

I have a very open mind, to reality. My mind is not so wide open that half my brains have fallen out as it appears yours have.

Go back to the beginning of time and never once has thunder been caused by Thor's hammer or any other supernatural event. It is always has the same cause. Always.

We live in a world of evidence backed cause and effects, thankfully. I would sure hate to hear the upcoming weather forecast is for repeated Thor's hammer striking and Posideon's breath producing winds from unknown directions and duration.

Pssht. You can't prove that. You don't know what did the trick a long time ago.

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.

Funny how time changes what you remember. It makes one wonder about the accuracy of witness testimony?

I found a bunch of old SD cards and was going through them tonight, low and behold the photos I spoke about above were on one of the cards. Not exactly as I remembered but make of them what you will.

Was the house the one where Juliet Lowe lived? There are supposed to be several different "entities" that show up there from time to time.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Quite honestly those are both examples of "wanting" to see something that wasn't there, IMO. I saw both photos before reading your lead-in. The crosswalk photo, to me, was clearly a blurred image showing the reflection of the streetlights on the sidewalk. I saw nothing else. At the house, again I saw an exterior light source, the "orb" in the upper corner, and the illumination of the curtain fabric, which was behind the pane, from that light source. I saw that light being a flash from a camera.

I then reread your memory description and I could "see", if I tried, both the images you recalled. I believe being prepped to see such thing on a ghost tour, even if one is skeptical, can lead to an ease in conflating what is seen into what is wanted to be seen. Take a look at the "Face on Mars," looks a lot like the "face" peering out the window.

And yes, witness accounts are not very reliable and are some of the least dependable in police investigations. That, of course, does not mean witnesses did not believe they saw what they claimed.

I walked to the 2nd floor of my house one day and felt a hand touch my shoulder.
I was thinking it was amazing the kids could be that quiet following me up the stairs. Turn around, nobody. It was really weird. Not saying I believe in ghosts. Maybe just a strange spasm I had never before or since had.

Does the Holy Ghost count? Nah, he’s probably too busy.
