I have been running a page called Maine Supernatural for a little over 4 years now. I have gone in a skeptic and lately I am morphing into Unsolved Historical Murder Mysteries, with Paranormal aspects. Over the years, you tend to disregard moisture or dust orbs, or cigarette smoke apparitions. When you don't include these as paranormal evidence, you are left with Light anomaly or reflections, as visual evidence. At least in my case.
With this in mind, I have been looking into a local murder suicide, that happened in the seventies. Not going into detail, we have been trying to get the attention of a owner, to maybe find out if there has been any activity in the house. On a recent bold attempt, I do a technique, I like to think I invented, where you drive into a person's yard, if they come to the door, strike up a conversation. If nobody comes to the door, quickly whip out the camera and start shooting. I can take about 40 photos a minute, 50 if on the run, being chased by dogs.
This being stated, I focused on the upper bedroom window where I new the murder to take place. It was a cloudless, blue sky day. The window from my angle showed no tree, leaf reflections. In my many skeptical years of investigating, I tend to be my own worst critic. If there is any possible way to dismiss a piece of evidence, I do.
So when I get a photo that I can't dismiss, then what is left? Proof of paranormal activity? This photo was taken of the upper window pain, of the bedroom window. To me it looks exactly like a bearded man, with his eyes closed, either in pain, or moaning. As with any post of evidence, 90% of those who see it will either ridicule, or not see it, or say hunh? It is the 10% that are truly interested that I am concerned with. The story and photos are up on my site Maine Supernatural and can be found at http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqnk8x

WOW You have some very good shots there. I am pleased to see that you are open minded enough not dismiss every piece of evidence or debunk it and write it off as clouds, lighting, reflections etc. Keep up the good work..I live in Mass, do you ever investigate down this way? JN

Thats intresting, Good shot, sorta reminds me of Pirates of the carribeian

Wow, seems the best I had, wasn't good enough, kinda fell right off the board without much of a buzz.

The board is a little preoccupied lol..I loved your photo, do you have others to share? JN

This was kind of a neat motion blur. Another bearded face. I believe this one was actually in Star Trek 5, the god like creature. bunch more up on the site.

WOW..Cool pic, and I see it.. I checked some of your site and you have some pretty amazing photos. What is that dog, or whatever it is? Its skeery looking..? JN

Hi there,

Pretty cool picture. i sort a chuckled at your "drive-by" story. I do the same thing sometimes. but only when hubby is not with me as he is not as adventurous? as i am. lol. ever since i got into this kind of picture taking, everytime we go by an empty looking house i want to get out and take pics. i love walking in cemetaries at nite, to get pics. the dead dont scare me. Its the living that keeps me on my toes. lol. i have gotten a lot of really neat shots of ghostly like clouds and some really thick looking stuff known as ecto. anyhow its just a fun hobby for me. yours truely ruebarbt

Wish I knew, the jury is still out on that one. It's posted in the crypto topic above. Most say normal dog.

Hi Eddy, don't take it personally, the board gets swamped sometimes and this can happen.

Thanks for posting the photo here, I can make out a face for sure.

I can see the faces you refer to in your pictures.
Anomalies like this are really interesting to ponder on.
Thanks for sharing your pix.

Doesnt look normal to me..Normal dogs dont have bumps on their back, nor do they look like that? In any case, great photos..JN

This past Halloween, I actually had an attack of conscience. I actually began to wonder what was the point of ghost hunting. Not to put groups like Taps or Most Haunted down, but has anybody noticed when they need ratings they come up with the proof? I'll be the first one to admit, I have absolutely no certifiable evidence, after 5 years of investigating every weekend. I personally haven't witnessed a thing. In fact, holding my ground while 4 grown men fled from a haunted house, crying. I saw nothing, I felt nothing. I want to believe. I just don't.
I have hundreds of EVP's, with clear voices that are whispering names, sentences and noises. With EVP recorders so sensitive they can pick a pin drop at 100 yards. Unless you are alone in a 100 yard radius of the home or cemetery you are investigating, who is to say the evidence isn't contaminated. Orbs are caused by bugs, dust or moisture. Vaporous apparitions, 80% of spirit photos are caused by cigarette smoke, or natural causes. When this is taken into account, what is left? Where is the proof? I have subtle taken down most of my photos and all of my EVP's, and am now only running investigations when they are concerned with unsolved murder cases. Is there life after death? Not in my experience.

I can definitely understand where you are coming from. I looked through your site and read the archived investigations. It is true sign of a hunter who strives for the truth that would have attacks of conscience. I recently watched a show on the Salem Witch trials, an investigator claimed to have found Gallows Hill, the tree where the witchs were hung. She claimed to be clairvoyant. She also claimed to have a photo of a spirit that confronted her. Any person who has been investigating and seeking the truth, or even a basic photographer would have pointed out that the photo clearly showed straps from either the camera lens cap, sweatshirt, or some other dangling strings. When the flash hits close up to the lens, the strings, voila instant spirit manifestation.
I've also always had trouble with evp's. If' it's a spirit from pre-1900, how are they going to know just what the heck a digital recorder is. If they are listening, and you explain that you are holding a recorder, do they understand? Your last reply mentioned that you at this time haven's seen anything that you can prove to be spirit manifestation. I hope that you continue to look, and one day, you get the proof. Cause if not, we all could be in for a big surprise, once the ticker stops ticking.
I actually have given up on shows like Taps and Most haunted. Taps strives to debunk everything, but yet they can show thermal imaging of some unknown apparitions following the camera crew through the woods, first they spot the sound guy and claim he is a spirit before they realize, and then later, they see a row of what Leprechauns? Or Fairy Folk? Yep no conflict of interest there. Must be the season finale!
I think if they had stuck to their guns and hadn't sold out, they would have long been canceled, because you just cannot capture the supernatural with modern equipment. As the saying goes, "Show me the money!", In this case, "show me the irrefutable proof!"
