My son is a union re-enactor. My husband and I went to our first re-enactment at Gettysburg, over the 4th of July weekend, this year, 2002. It was a big weekend - the 139th anniversary re-enactment. While we were there, my son, his wife, and I went on a Ghost walk from the Farnsworth House in Gettysburg. There were about 100 people in the walk, and we didn't expect to really see anything. We had been told to bring our cameras and take pictures, because people sometimes found weird things in their pictures. We brought our cameras along, but didn't take any pictures until the very end. I know for myself, I figured I had carried the camera the entire time - I might as well take some pictures. When I got home, I immediately dumped the digital pictures from my laptop to my desktop computer and burned two discs. I was leaving again very soon, and needed to free up space on my laptop. I didn't have time to even look at the pictures until over a week later. I suddenly wondered where my "ghost" pictures were. Much to my amazement, there were strange bright circles in the pictures. I later discovered they were what is called "orbs". I was especially interested in this first picture. The upper left hand window has what looks like a face just above the middle of the window. Enhance the photo and you'll see what I mean. All the photos can be clicked to get a larger version of the picture. Anyway, that started the fascination, and I couldn't wait to go back to Gettysburg. I have a lot of other pictures that were taken during the 4th with orbs, but nothing that would definitely rule out reflections. I decided the next time I went "ghost hunting", I'd take 2 pictures in succession to see if the positions changed. September brought the Antietam battle, which my son was going to be in again. My best friend went with me, and we stayed in Chambersburg, PA, close to Gettysburg and Antietam. We immediately went to Gettysburg, and right back to that building. These are just a few of the pictures that I really would like an explanation for. © Shoestring Creations 2002 All Rights Reserved |

This building is a school that was build during the 1850's in Gettysburg. This picture was taken over the 4th of July 2002. |

This is the same building, taken in September, 2002. I have a Olympus D-510, taking pictures in 1600 X 1200 format. Notice that there is nothing in the upper left hand window in either picture. Neat picture. The weather was warm and clear. |

These 2 pictures were taken a few minutes later, as I walked in closer to the building. This time, I paid close attention to what was in each picture. You'll see why I did this in the last set of pictures on this page. The picture below the 2 pictures is each face cut out of each picture - put together in one picture. My friend in the meantime, was in a doorway just below and on the left side of the building, calling out "Is Anyone There"? The first picture the face is looking directly at me. In the second picture, she is looking just to the left. I have blown up those faces over and over, and ALWAYS end up with a pupil in the left eye. Everyone that has seen the picture can see the faces. My friend and I went back there the next day in the daylight, to see what was in the window. There is a ceiling fixture in the room - 3 concentric circles. I can see the fixture in the top of the face - 2 circles going inward, then a face coming out. I'm sorry, but that face is no light fixture! |

OK, now I REALLY want to know what you think of this soldier! This was taken during the 4th of July trip. Initially, I didn't even look at the soldier - I was just concerned with what was in the window, and looking for orbs. I finally started looking at the soldier, and can think of no explanation for why he looks like he does. I don't remember seeing him when I took the picture - don't remember seeing any re-enactors there at all. Neither my son or daughter can remember seeing him either. Please tell me he's just a re-enactor! The picture has NOT been enhanced in any way. It's exactly as it came out of the camera. The size of the soldier is the original size in the picture. The face is blown up 300% |

These pictures were taken at a house in Dresden, Ohio in 2007. We had spent the night there on a ghost hunt. The house was built by an abolitionist George Wilson Adams, and is currently called “The G. W. Adams Educational Center” and you can visit their website by clicking here. Another site is here. These pictures were taken seconds apart. The night was completely clear and slightly cool. Pretty neat, huh! |
