| Ghosts and Spirits[size=12]The terms "ghost" and "spirit" are generic names that we traditionally give to a variety of phenomena that seem to involve (usually) " human like entities" that are either directly observed or whose presence is "sensed" by their effects in one's environment. That they can "appear" and "disappear" seemingly at will, are often "transparent" and/or "amorphous" in form and may not be visible at all, suggest that these beings are of a nature NOT consistent with the known laws of our own universe. As the phenomena has been observed since before the beginning of story, many traditions, superstitions and beliefs have been attached to "ghosts and spirits". The Ghost is supposedly the "disembodied soul" of a dead human. A Spirit may be a ghost or it may also be an "entity" from "the spirit world" (a parallel universe) who never lived as a human. the term "spirit" also includes "angels", "demons", and "gods" But are they real? Certainly hallucinations illusions (reflections, mirrages, etc) and trickery can explain SOME accounts. But there are many other accounts too, where several witnesses experienced the same tng and the possibility of illusions or hoaxes were eliminated. There are also REAL and measurable changes in the environment where the phenomena is observed. There are real temperature drops of up to 20 deg.F and magnetic fields in the range of 2 to 8 Milligauss, and sometimes, visible images. We can, therefore state with a good degree of certainty that the observed phenomena that WE CALL "ghosts and spirits" are real. But what are these tngs? Tradition tells us that "ghosts" are "Earth bound souls" of the dead. Perhaps ts is true, some "ghosts" do look like people from another time and SOME actually are said to look like specific individuals. But tradition also can be wrong. Zeus was traditionally supposed to be the cause of lightning. Some people, because of ts, will reject the entire idea of "ghosts" because they do not believe in the "Tradition" and superstitions associated with them. Ts is really too bad, because it fails to address the actual phenomena that is experienced that inspired the traditions in the first place . Rejecting a phenomena that people have witnessed, simply because one does not believe in the explanation is just as foolish as rejecting the reality of lightning because one does not believe in Zeus. What "ghosts" and "Spirits" actually are is unknown, but There are several theories. The "ghost" may simply be an electric phenomenon ,(similar to "ball lightning") that often might assume a columnar shape about six feet gh--- auto suggestion , on the part of the witness, might then fill in the other details of the "apparition". Another theory is that the "ghost" is the "life energy" of a person who died under emotional circumstances. Ts energy becomes visible if the conditions in the environment are just right. Yet another theory is that the "ghost" may be an Image "from the past" as a result of a "time space fold" induced by the release of life energy at a given location or even a kind of "recording" imbedded into the environment.---Ts would also explain the images of inanimate objects such as "ghost trains" of "ghost cars". The final theory is that the "ghost" is the actual "soul" or "intelligent energy form" of a deceased person. Ts "soul" is also called a "spirit" wch is actually what we would call ANY being who is composed of "matter" from a parallel universe. "spirits" MAY have lived on Earth before as "souls" in a human body, or some may be full time inhabitants of various parallel worlds.
[size=21] Photograpng Ghosts
[size=9]At Left is a detail from the Image at the top of the article. One can easily see the head and collar of what appears to be a little girl dressed in late 19th century clotng. If your screen is not too "contrast" you may also see that she is wearing a dark colored "drop waist" dress. Her right arm is seen hanging on her side, and her booted right leg and foot is clearly visible. Her left leg, in a walking position, can bee seen with some difficulty bend her right leg. The image is smaller than life--but ts is not unusual for ghosts. The image was taken using my "random field" photography technique described below.
[size=12]It may surprise many people to find out that Ghosts can be photographed. Ghosts have been occasionally seen in photos for over 100 years. Sure, some were the result of errors, such as double exposures, light leaks, lens flares and chemical development processes. Some others were outright frauds. (and bad ones at that)---But a few, usually taken accidentally, seem to show actual "ghost like" phenomena captured on the film. Of course, anytng can be "faked", so that is why it is important to take your own photographs, where barring error on your part or camera malfunction, you can be sure that what you photograph yourself is ,at least, not a deliberate "fake". The GhostWeb, (see link below) has over 4000 photos that were sent in by readers. Dave Oester, who runs the Web, tries to include only those photos wch he deems "authentic"----although I would have a difference of opinion with m in several cases, just looking through the collection is an education in itself. Usually, the ghost cannot be seen by the photographer. It is only discovered when the pictures are developed. The reason for ts is that film is also sensitive to light frequencies just above and just below the visual range.---Low Ultraviolet and High Infra Red, respectively. Ts might also explain why some people can "see" ghosts wle others can't --owing to variations in visual sensitivity I have examined several "good" ghost photos taken in the last half century, and I have noticed that most are in front of a "speckled" background--such as a hedge screen or a stone wall.--in other words, a natural "random field", not unlike I describe for scrying exercises in the ESP Amplifier section. It seems that a similar factor that permits us to see "retinal feedback" imagery also works for ghosts---To appear they only have to change parts of their image that do not correspond with the spots in their backgrounds---a potential savings of 50% "energy" used in "appearing"--if the background is sufficiently "randomized" enough. Ts could make all the difference, in the case of a "weaker" ghost as to if it could generate an image or not Upon realizing ts, I loaded my 35mm camera with B&W 400 speed film-(--B&W film seems to work better because it is sensitive to UV radiation) and went to the "creepiest" felling part of the Old Biloxi (MS) Cemetery. I photographed areas, in daylight, where the trees and shrubs formed more or less uniform backgrounds near where I could feel "clls" and "spooky" feelings. The result was that I found "anomalies" on 4 of the 12 frames that I shot. These range from "Grey, fuzzy" spots to fairly good imagery, some of wch I include here. Two of the photos contained multiple small anomalies.
ABOVE:--ts image has several anomalies. One of the best (arrow) is blown up below. Note the profile of woman's head at the bottom of the wte blobYes, at first glance it might appear that the images are simply "mental constructs" made of the elements of the trees---, but what are the odds of a tree reproducing the entire body of, for example, a little girl and in the correct costume of the period? Even the face above is too accurate to have happened by random chance alone--even the hairstyle is correct (late 19th century). Most of the other photos showed notng, although the same pattern of trees was photographed.Although it is not very visible on these images, most "random field" ghost images will show a "Grey misty area" or a slight distortion "field" around the "ghost"--Ts demonstrates that the ghost appears to be generating a "zone of influence" where it is attempting to appear. It WILL use as many background elements as possible in ts zone--if they correspond to light and dark areas in the image. The ghost only has to suppress light spots and enhance dark spots in places where the image elements to not correspond with the background--Ts appears to save "effort" on the part of the ghost allowing it to present an image when it ,perhaps, could not, if it had to generate all the elements itself.[size=21]Latest Info on Ghost Photography, etc.
[size=21][size=12] There are several different "species" or kinds of "ghosts" that show up on photography. By classifying them, we can thus get a "handle" on the different types of phenomena that we collectively call "ghosts". The on the GhostWeb (see link below) we can see examples of all of these. Dave Oester, on the GhostWeb, only has 4 categories " Vortexes", "Orbs", " Selds" and "Ectoplasims", but close examination of all the photos reveals sometng more. The "Ectoplasims", the more traditional "ghostlike" forms can be classified into several types. HUMANOID: Ghostly form having an obvious human shape DEMONOID: Human like, but definitely NOT human(not necessarily "evil" only not human) NECROFORM:"Skeletons", "rotted corpses" or parts thereof. Usually the "scary ghost" of fiction or horror movies. Very rare--may not exist--not seen on any photos yet. ENTITY: Other type of "creature" from a parallel world. May be totally "alien" in appearance---I don’t mean in the "Grey" sense, but a different biology altogether. ORGANIC: Unrecognizable organic forms or appendages SYMETRIC: Upon close examination, has an axis of symmetry. Corresponding parts can be seen on either side. DENDRITE: Tree like form PILLOW: Multiple blob like forms SHEET: Fabric like form DIFFUSE: Fuzzy area of light with no definite edges STREAK: Streak of light or thread like form
HARD: definite edges to a form--also Very hard, etc. SOFT: having "fuzzy" edges AMORPHIC: Having no discernable shape UNCLASSIFIED: Not fitting any of the above We might also add Dave's ORB: Hard edged sphere VORTEX: Hard edge "wte tornado" shape. often casts a shadow. SHIELD: hard edge "seld" shaped form Thus Images can be described in terms such as "a hard, symmetric, organic" or "a soft demonoid" or " a soft, symmetric pillow", etc. Ts classification also permits specialized study such as "the DENDRITES" or "species of demonoids". More Details on the above can be found in the "Technical Aspects of Ghost Phenomena" section. [size=16]LINKS
