    The spirit world is constantly around us; they dont wait until the middle of the night. I have photographed spirit energy as early as 11:30 in the morning, outdoors on a clear sunny day in May.

    Learn out about the full body apparitions that were captured indoors by the camera not once, but twice as they moved.

    My travels have taken me to the Lizzie Borden House, Gettysburg, Rolling Hills Asylum, Eastern State Penitentiary, an amazing haunted B&B in NY State, and many other places.

    These are the stories behind the photographs and what happened on the investigations. I have experienced objects physically moved by an unknown source, a frightened spirit rush out of a basement and pass through the right side of my body, plus a disembodied male voice whos comment was directed at me.

    And an unexpected message given by a Medium from a friends late husband. I was told a list of many items to tell her about, including a broken gravy boat.

    So enjoy these real ghost encounters from the comfort of your favorite chair. They are ghost stories you can see with your own eyes.

      Introduction

      Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.

      —Ralph Waldo Emerson

      All of these stories are about my experiences as a paranormal photographer. In 2008 I began learning about paranormal investigating and by early 2009 was already capturing good ghostly photographs with a regular digital camera. So I concentrated on taking pictures and stayed with the technique of always taking three photos of the same spot. After over three years and almost fifty thousand photographs later, I have a variety of photo anomalies taken at night and in broad daylight. They range from streaks of light to full body apparitions. The stories tell of the mundane to the surreal.

      Writing a book begins with one person but cannot be completed without the help of others. I would like to thank my parents for their constant love and support in so many ways for this project. To my mentor, Andrea Perron, who really gave this book wings. Also to my copy editor, Susan McVicar, for making this book so much better than I ever could. And to Janet Antollino, who shares my interests in the paranormal and has listened to me for the last two years as I have found my way to completing Ghostly Photographs.

      I am thankful for each and every one of you.

      GLOSSARY

      The Lizzie Borden House

      While attending a paranormal conference in Gettysburg, PA, a golden opportunity came my way. I ran into Bigg Jim Jones, the founder and Chief Investigator of PRISMd, the Paranormal Research and Investigation Society of Maryland. I had met him last year at an investigation in Gettysburg. As we chatted and caught up on our lives since the last time we met, I noticed a sign at his table announcing, Join us for an investigation of the Lizzie Borden House. Inquire if interested. PRISMd had rented all the rooms at the Borden House for a two-night investigation. A few openings had become available due to cancellations and it was scheduled to take place the very next weekend! I immediately signed up to join them.

      I had always wanted to visit the Lizzie Borden house. It was one of those gruesome places you heard about as a child. Of course, as most of you know: Lizzie Borden took an axe / And gave her mother forty whacks / And when she saw what she had done / She gave her father forty-one. I was surprised to find out that her mother received nineteen and her father eleven blows from the axe. I don’t know why, but somehow the lower numbers seemed to take something away from the crime. Despite this minor disappointment, I was about to experience an investigation that would prove to be perhaps more than I’d bargained for, and on quite a personal level.

      It was 4:00 p.m. on a Friday when I arrived at the legendary Lizzie Borden house in Fall River, Massachusetts. Most of the group was already there and waiting for a tour to finish. I walked around the house a couple of times, anxious to get inside. The interior was beautifully restored in the style of the Victorian era of 1890s’ New England. Most of the furnishings had been custom made to be as accurate as possible to how the home would have looked in 1892.

      I was staying in the Andrew Jennings room on the third floor. He was their family lawyer and the first defense attorney in the Borden murder trial. There are other bedrooms, a full bath, and a sitting area that adjoins all of the rooms on the third floor. Once everyone had settled into their assigned rooms, we gathered to walk downtown for dinner. In a short time we would be back at the house to begin our investigation.

      We were divided into teams; mine was to begin in the basement. We soon realized that it would be difficult gathering uncontaminated EVP’s, (electronic voice phenomenon) while another group was directly above, since we could hear every footstep. Our time in the basement was uneventful with the exception that one of our team members kept feeling something touching the back of his neck. He had become obviously frustrated, asking if there were cobwebs or threads near the back of his neck. Many times I watched him reach back to brush away whatever it was that might have been there.

      Next, we joined the first floor team and spent some time studying the crime scene photos of Mr. Borden. We did our own reenactment of how Lizzie’s father met his demise. With one of our group lying on the sofa, we approached the body from different angles, attempting to determine how
