ohmy.gif Wow, thats way more on each picture then I had. I did have the one picture with the old mans face. That one was trully freaky. Of coarse Necro would say a picture of some old guy in a nursing home got intertwined with my roll of film. Some people are such skeptics, its not even worth argueing. eyesre4.gif

 

Necro, if we shoot a roll of film in some dark location,(does not have to be a cemetary) and these things appear, I will concede it may be nothing. But if nothing shows up on th film, you better be ready to concede your wrong. yes.gif

I say go for it.

 

But you would have to use the myth busters technique in that everything as far as the camera, time of day, exposure, etc...would have to be the same except for the location.

 

As much as I would like to believe, to me it's just dust on the lense, or in the air or something, nothing conclusive....but I would love to proven wrong....I can handle it.

Tick, i'm not conceding anything. You're the one that doesn't want to accept the truth.

 

These things have been PROVEN to be either camera anamolies or lit up dust and moisture particles in the air at night. It's the flash. I thought that it didn't come up on digital, but i'm wrong on that.

 

As for the face you saw, i'm willing to think that might have been odd, but it's more than likely a coincidence.

This was also a episode on the Discovery Channel series "A Haunting" I have the complete dvd collection.

Good show, not wise to watch right b4 you go to sleep.. scared.gif tongue.gif

I tend to agree with Steve from Ghosthunters about orbs, they can be explained in many ways. ( yes.gif dirt on lense, flying bugs, light reflection from camera, weather conditions) I had some pattern of light orbs like this taken at Gettysburg Confederate high water mark monument, I would like to believe there spirits of the old veterans doing one last reunion. But more then likely my cheap one shot just reflected flash off the monument.

Dosen't mean I don't believe in supernatural, because I certainly do, seen and heard to much weird sh*t on shows like ghost hunters & paranormal state. Also personal experiences on civil war battlefield hikes, been to many east and west. Uneasy feelings, odd cold spots during sweltering summer heat, strange pockets of complete silence were fighting was at it's most brutal, although busy roadway just yards away jammed with tourist buses no sound heard not even a bird chirp.( Second Manassas battlefield ,unfinished railroad cut)

That's a way overly Hollywoodized version of the story.

 

the actual case is called The Lindley Street Haunting, or The Devil in CT Case. http://www.warrens.net/lindley_street.html

 

There was a book written many years ago called The Demonologist. This is possibly...no.... without a doubt, the scariest thing I've ever read.http://www.thedemonologist.net/. I'm pretty sure a very detailed and "accurate" account of the story is included in that book.

 

I USED to believe in all of that paranormal stuff, Ed and Lorraine Warren, demons, Jesus, and good VS evil blah blah blah and was really into as a kid and read all kinds of crap about it. Iteresting and scary if you believe, but just crazy stories if you don't.

I believe you have given misinformation Prince. It would appear this movie is not based on the Lindley street haunting in Bridgeport. It is based on a haunting in Southington Connecticut.

Yer right...it turns out the Lindley Street events have some kind of link to the movie Poltergeist.

 

As I mentioned it has been a long time since I was into any of this occult biz...so I guess I must have made a mistake...hope no one was misled.

 

As it turns out there is another case that takes place in Southington (Mount Southington is where I learned to ski....I loved that place)...some kind of funereal home check out these links...sounds like the movie, or from what I saw in the trailer. I guess this story happened in '86 which was the year I moved out of CT and when I lost interest in the spooky stuff.

That last shot looks kind of like it might have been very thick pollen in the air that night. You don't really notice it much at night, until you either shine any kind of light(a flashlight especially) into it, then you can see how truly thick it is. Almost like it's raining the stuff outside. Next time there's thick heavy pollen in the air, go for a walk at night with a flashlight, the shit is blowing and falling everywhere. Very easy to see with a flashlight.

A decent but flawed horror movie. While I would give it a 6 out of 10, there are issues. A good horror flick relies on building suspence so where the scares come, you are kind of taken off guard. In this movie, they tried to throw them at you a little bit too much. It took away from the movie, because you starting feeling numb to it. All in all though a flick that is better then most of this genre. I should add, I'm extremely hard to please when it comes to horror movies. My final words is, if you were planning on going, you should. Edited by tick

Pollen wouldn't show up like that, in different colours.

Are you a pollen expert?

 

No, you're not. Anyway, given the choices of that stuff being either ghosts or pollen, logic dictates that it is pollen. QED.

Exactly, the original conditions should be replicated as closely as possible. And when it comes to the so-called evidence, you should use the scientific method instead of leaping to the conclusion that it's ghosts.

 

Do they even teach the scientific method in school anymore? I'm not being snide, I'm genuinely curious.
