After several years...The elusive GHOST PICTURE!!! :P

[Tigra00]

I don't mess with Oujia Boards. ;)

[Rebdragon]

Weird picture. :o

 

 

 

Though, it could of been an accident to.

 

 

 

I believe theres should be, or atleast was a ghost in my house.

 

 

 

a year ago when my mom got her digital camera for her birthday, I noticed one picture had a little glowy ball floating around in it, later one I took pictures of the same spot in different angles and the floating thing was there in all of them, my dad just dismissed it as dust on the lense. (Though the rest of the pictures were fine)

 

I've never been one to believe in ghosts, but the floating, glowing point-sized ball of light has been a common phenomenom in regards to ghost hunting :-k .

Yep, it looked something like this, a bit more " fuzzy" and 3d perhaps

 

 

 

 

oh and, regarding whether your picture is a fake, they maybe hard to tell, for example this famos picture was proved to be a double exposure fake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: This website shows what I was seeing in the photos.

What is that I see behind you?

[jemathonical]

That's creepy. That little girl is gonna freak me out for a while now :P .

 

 

 

Nice house btw :

[frogspoons]

Wow loving that picture, best one i've seen in a long time.

[Mercifull]

It is a camera flaw/double exposure. The only reason you see faces is due to pareidolia.

 

 

 

As for the orbs posted... um dust. :shame:

"Ghosting" is common in old photographs. It's because the cameras take longer to capture the scene (longer exposure times than most modern cameras) and they created transparent images of things that are stationary for a bit and then move. The transparent figure in the photograph looks like a girl that walked by, stared at the camera and then moved on, causing a ghosting effect. That's what I think that is causing that transparent figure in the photograph.

 

 

 

Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

 

 

 

What he said, it holds water.

 

 

 

This happens to me all the time with fire, even when I'm barely moving the staff, and it's when I use long exposure.

Well I'm a believer. I believe there's a spiritual world out there. :wink:

mmhmm thats what i was going to say

[Striker6]

Hmm your house looks like its on a slant or something :ohnoes:

[woopidoo2]

Alot of these pictures are simply fake, its actually very easy to make a 'ghost' picture. (Put some white robes on, a camera with long exposure, done) And even without long exposure, they couldve edit the photo in the dark room afterwards.

 

But I do think some could be real.

 

 

 

Still it sounds creepy, hearing voices out of nothing.

[assassin_696]

If you concentrate hard enough you can see ghosts in any double exposure or blurred image.

 

 

 

I somehow doubt that 'ghost' would have revealed herself if the picture had been taken with a modern camera.

That's what is freaking me out.

Neither do I. I had an experience when I was 13 and wanted to test if it was real, everyone thought I was moving it and I wasn't. Everything I thought of, the glass moved there. So I did not touch it, a name and a date popped in to my head, I wrote it down, didn't show anyone folded it and sat on it, it spelt out the name and the date to the other girls. No one saw my paper but me and I was no longer touching the moving glass.

 

 

 

That was enough to make me freak.

[Mercifull]

IGoddessI, what you experienced was the result of the ideomotor effect. It's nothing to freak out about and theres nothing mystical about it.

Part of what I experienced was indeed a result of ideomotor effect, I agree with you. However, the part that has freaked me out is the fact that I had pulled a random name and random date from the top of my head, wrote it down, did not participate in the board, I just watched while OTHER people played the board and it spelt out letter for letter, number for number what I had written.

 

 

 

The ideomotor effect couldn't have taken place if I was not involved with other peoples paranormal thoughts did not touch the board and did not influence anyone.

 

 

 

Fluke? Maybe but that part wasn't anything to do with the ideomotor effect/automatism. Even if it is in the unconscious thought, I can't plant it in other peoples heads to move the piece to the message I wrote when I:

 

 

 

1. Did not touch the board

 

 

 

2. Noone had knowledge of what I had written.

 

 

 

Also the effect is only a theory but a good one at that.

[Mercifull]

90% of communication is not verbal. Believe it or not you would have given visual cues which subconsciously tell your friends where to go on the board.

 

 

 

Next time write a name on a piece of paper in a sealed envelope outside the room then put the glass on the board and wait for it to move on its own without touching by anybody. I guarantee you that it wont do anything at all, let alone move by itself to the correct letters.

Back in year four, we had a weekly assignment to get a newpaper article, and read it out to the class, my friend done one about a Pub/Resturaunt in Elizabeth, South Australia (Australia) Called 'The Old Spot'.

 

 

 

Now, by the name you can tell it's an old hotel like place, and ofcourse, chances are, it would have a strange thing about it.

 

 

 

But, to the point, my friend had this newspaper article, and he read it, and showed* the picture to the class, it had:

 

 

 

One Old Man with short hair and a bushy mustache,

 

One little baby, about 5 - 9 months, wrapped in a towel of some sort,

 

Two children, a boy, and a girl.

 

And a shoe (Wth)

 

 

 

But there was no mother.

 

 

 

My mum (Mom) worked there once, and was told by an old lady that it was haunted, and ever since I saw that picture I have always believed in ghosts, and this made it even freakier...

 

 

 

Sometimes I feel a little tap on my shoulder, a little giggle, and sometimes creaking old floorboards, but I have ideas about what they really are:

 

 

 

Tap = Mosquito / Fly

 

Giggle = Radio (Nearly always on) people on the street (At night!?)

 

Floorboars = What else? Rat's or old floorboars, lol.

I believe you're referring to nonverbal communication and emotion, in which psychologist Albert Mehrabian (1972) found that about 93% of the emotional meaning of messages are conveyed nonverbally. No visual cues were given and if any unconscious non verbals, none that 13 year olds could pick up. I have always been poker faced. You're correct; it most probably wouldn't do anything at all. My objective was to the theory in which most cases other than mine would be the causation. Fluke or no fluke, I was still freaked.

That vid is scary even though it looks fake and I read the article after, its still creepy to see this random face looking out from behind a door.I watched it five minutes ago and my heart isn't quite back to normal.

 

 

 

As to the pic of the girl, I think its amazing! I for one believe in the supernatural, ghosts and all that because I know a couple people who have had ghosts in their houses( mostly friendly ghosts though :pray: )! I just like to think that their are some unexplained mysteries out there.

[baalboy5]

teach her how to play runescape, she's dead so no rules apply

 

 

 

 

 

ghost sighting ftw

Maybe one of your friends was moving it on purpose. I know when I was younger that I used to force it to go where I wanted to scare my girly friends. And it was always the girls that got spooked. 13 year old girls are much more sensitive to things like this and their beliefs are stronger than the average male. Your story is anecdotal, there is no such thing as ghosts, ouija boards are nothing but games, tarot cards don't work, psychics don't exist and mediums are frauds

[Wisp]

psychics don't exist

 

for a second there i thought that read physics :?

 

anyhow, It probably was an long exposure and someone walked in front or whatever, but it's still pretty cool.

 

With those ouija boards, most of it is nonverbal, which makes it pretty cool.
