Time Lapse, Orbs and Other Spooky Things
Rev. Beth Carter of Portland, Maine sent in our first set of
pictures.
They were taken at her mother's home in 1948. These pictures are samples of what was called "time lapse" photography at the time. This is done by placing a "sans" wrapping or sheer cloth over the artificial light in the room. You can see the overhead light in picture "C" which was taken on a different day and was NOT a "time lapse" photo, but shows clearly the reflection of the light fixture in the family parlor where all the photos were taken. Picture "B" shows the "sans" cloth over the light fixture in the mirror (upper left side).

In analyzing these photos it has been noticed that there are stripe-type
lines going from top to bottom in pictures "A"
+ "B". This is caused by film being
drawn across the view finder during the course of the "time lapse" photo being taken.
It is "B" that draws the attention. After enlarging this photo to letter size
and looking through a magnifying glass, it is noticed that distinct "face-like"
images appear in the background.
As we look at the right side of the picture you will notice 3 face-like images, don't get too excited yet. This is not "Spirit" showing their selves, this is the wallpaper print. Taking the photo in "time lapse" photography it makes the wall pattern much more distinct and life-like. Now bring your attention a little more to the left of the border of the picture. Just above the knob on the right side of the chair, there is a darker mark. Although it was not noticed at first, it seems like there is a vague face peeking in through the window and the sheer curtains covering the window, and again in the reflection of the mirror.
Although it is not a distinct picture for making a positive ID of a "Spirit" form, it is felt that there is Spirit activity at work here. It is a possibility this was one of the times Spirit was caught by a camera.

Picture "D" (and "E", blow up of area in question) was
sent in by Ella Byrner of McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The picture is of the bride, her great-granddaughter, and the
Father of the Bride. It was taken about
2 years ago at the wedding of Ella's great-granddaughter. No one has any idea who the person might be
behind the Father of the Bride. It was
taken spontaneously and it was a shock to those involved in the wedding to see
someone there.
It looks simply like a shiny object catching the reflection of the flash you see in the background. It does not feel scary or creepy to me, although it looks it. Especially if you see it in color, printed on photo paper. Just being "green" is enough to make anyone wonder.
It is common for shiny objects to reflect light in different colors when the camera captures an image. In this case we have the flash from the camera as the picture was being taken and the flash from the background camera. Simply put, when scientifically analyzed, it is REFLECTION caught by the cameras. But....
Upon first receiving this picture it looked much like it does now. A shiny object caught in the middle of two flashes and reflecting green light. At the end of the summer, when it was being scanned into the computer, Both Brian and I noticed there were two green shiny lights, first impression, "eyes". It almost looked like a face popping out at us. Now on September 26, 2007, looking at the original picture while writing this article, there is only one shiny object in the photo. We cannot come to a conclusion but I must say, even though it looks creepy, the energy I feel from it is peaceful.

Our Last Photograph labeled "F" is sent in and taken of Kenneth Cox
of Auburn, Maine. It was taken of
Kenneth on August 24, 2007 at 7 pm. This
was to be a simple photo taken of Kenneth in his back yard by his wife
Margaret. And now here is "the rest of
the story".
Scientific Data: Located about 200 feet to the left of Ken and Margaret's property is the Central Maine Power Station. An event of a "fireball" was seen by his wife Margaret about 2 years prior to this photo. At that time the "fireball" hit his neighbor's house resulting in physical evidence in the form of burn marks to the side of the neighboring home. Although Central Maine Power did pay for damages, they concluded the damages could NOT be from the CMP station. As a result of an eye witness and no other conclusion being reached, the authorities had no choice in the matter to rule that CMP was the cause.
Facts seen in the photo: At 7pm the sun is not reflecting in the camera. The sky is cloudy. The bright ball is very much like an orb and is distinct against the green of the trees. There is no evidence that the photo had been tamped with.
Kenneth has always felt Spirit working with him. In the past years spirit communication has come to him through poetry. He has written many poems and has produced a CD. The name of the CD is "Spirit" and there are 3 versions. The poems are written very quickly in a 5-10 minute time frame and at the spur of the moment, as Spirit moves him.
We believe that the ball of bright matter caught by the camera is unknown, but we feel it may be to reinforce the poetry that Ken is composing with the help of spirit.
