i posted this on another topic but i thought i would bring it up and see if anyone could help me out.........

untill last night i would have said "why do people always run away when they see a ghost "

but now after last night after seeing what im sure was a ghost i know why.

its a strange sense of panic that goes straight to your head you cant think of anything else but getting out of there untill you are out then you want to see it again and again


we went back to the area last night but couldnt get it on tape at all. it was a strange mist that flew right in front of the head lights while we were driving really slow too fast for smoke because there was no wind

anyone know what this might have been?

Were you driving near water? I've seen mist billowing out of drainage ditches from the water and it does look spooky - like something out of a horror flick - the chances are you've seen some type of this. Also, woodland can cause mists to form due to the moisture content amongst the trees.

being an angler i have seen all types of mist before and this was really like nothing i have seen before.
because there was no wind and this mist moved very fast
it was in an old hospital ground and there is not a patch of water for about 6 miles
it could have been mist from the trees but i down think it can move as fast as that. it was going about the speed of a man in full sprint

i thought " this is turning out like a bad movie" but i know the mist was there because 4 other people said about the same time did you see that mist

thanks for the reply

A little more details would help out.

I've personally caught a lot of mist pictures, in places that were reported as being haunted, though I doubt it is paranormal. Interesting how different gases could cause even a variety of colors.

Bebi ask a good question, because swamp gases could cause a eeire mist also, that glows greenish bluish. Same gas that i have seen at the "Saratoga Ghost Lights"

........... but it didn't explain the lantern flame I saw a chased. Could it have been the brakeman that carried the lantern during the 1902, Santa Fe Railroad era running through there.

strange, but maybe you were near a lake or shore.

i was driving about 10mph
we were in the grounds of an empty old hospital
it now has only a few building remaining, the main one a building that i think dates back to 1600s and we were heading away from that when we seen it. it was a narrow road with trees at either side. we seen the mist move from right to left and it was more like smoke than mist very thick
it was right in front of the head lights.
there was no wind that night so i dont think it could be mist coming from the trees going at that speed

Intresting , well i wouldnt have run away i would have been frozen lol.

Scott, please give me the city and state this occurred in. We can pull up Satelite imagery of the area and wind directions, and if you know the date, we can pull up the history of wind direction, elevation which effects turbulance. For example, a valley in low elevation will pull cold air down in to the valley and then if mixed with warm air cold, humidity...etc..could cause mist formation at any given time.....etc...


Next time, don't run, but go towards it. Best time is to go by yourself so people will not influence you to run.

it was in ballochmyle hosital 2 miles south from mauchline Ayrshire if looking for it on a map then it will say ballochmyle golf club which is beside it

if you could look that up for me that would be great

forgot to say im not really confident enough to go up myself anymore
but if there is anyone who stays in this area that would like to join me i wouldnt mind meeting up

So are you in Scotland? Is this your area?

yip thats it

im not discounting your story, but the mist thing just bothers me.... ive captured many pics with mists and orbs, and everyone that see's it says "dust, bugs, smoke, breath, camera strap" and other nonsense.... i think its time for a revolution.... we all need to band together and capture something!!!

im goin to camp out in SE ohio, close to West Virginia and the mothman myths.... i have a lot of family that knows the area down there...im going to find something whether i return or not.....

Ayrshire's a lovely place

I loved the Bargany Gardens

Whoa, i hardly ever post any thing on this site but this is creepy stuff go there again, and try for an EVP k?

i was thinking along the same lines but one thing that has struck me is that it just moved to fast for that night, there was no wind and it was the only bit of smoke/mist i seen all night (and i was looking for it)

Why run from a ghost you ask...why run from lots of things....in stressful situations everyone has 1 of 2 responses, "FLIGHT OR FIGHT", 80% of the world chooses the Flight response or the (avoid confrontation/run/get out of there) These people seem to live longer than the hot headed "Fight" type...so dont feel to bad that you ran like a little girl...thats what most people do....

Old hospital ground? kkeewwll
