I believe in ghosts. I have never seen one, but I believe that they are there. I know there are many non-believers out there, I live with one. He laughs at me all the time. I don't care. I love ghosts stories and I love to read and watch TV programs about ghosts. I want to write a book about local ghosts stories, but I haven't figured out how to find these stories yet. But, I'm sure I will.
I thought I captured a ghost with my camera the other day. I was so excited (you have no idea). I was walking in a favorite place of mine, a very old cemetery near my house, and I took some pictures. When I came home to look at them, there were these orbs in the picture, and not in all of the pictures. Only the ones I took in the cemetery.
 
I went to a ghost buster website and compared the pictures and I thought I had a match. I was going to send them in for evaluation. Oh, the thought of a real ghost buster coming to my town to find ghosts sent shivers up my spine. Then, I glanced over and saw a list of fakes or explainable ghost pictures. Being the open minded person that I am, I thought I needed to give both sides a chance. Knowing full well my pictures were real...
Well, it seems I will have to go back to ghostbuster college, because I did everything wrong. First, I used a digital camera. Big no-no when ghost busting, you should always have film for back up so the negatives can be examined. I also used the flash, and disregarded the weather conditions. Apparently, digital cameras are notorious for making ghosts appear, especially if you use the flash in the snow--something silly about the flash illuminating the moisture particles in the air and digital flaws.
I guess that would explain why there were no orbs in the pictures I took without the flash. I liked my theory better: the ghosts went home!
