Title: Spooky pictures
Post by: Pendragon on November 11, 2011, 10:34:29 pm
I was looking through the photos I had taken on Conwy mountain and was surprised to see this weird light on the right (I want to say Orb but we all know what happened last time  ;D)

This is a clip from Time Team (I'm their number 1 fan by the way)  $good$
In the background is a guy digging watch the grey smoke come from the ground?

Looks like an out of focus insect on the camera lens, it goes down before turning upwards, I'd have loved it to be a real ghost caught on camera  :o

look towards the bottom of the photo between the second and third girl on the left, when I first saw it, it jumped straight out at me - be warned!

 I don't know any of them, I think it was just doing the rounds when it got sent to me!

Are we talking about the kid standing between the two women? He's in shadow because the women are blocking out the light from above.  &shake&

I think the suggestion is, that the face at the bottom of the picture, is of a child who was not actually there..... an unknown child to that group of girls perhaps?

I believe that most "spooky" pictures are the innocent result of a double exposure from that time that cameras had films that had to be wound on after each shot.   Don't suppose one sees many now that we are in the digital age.     

Here is a link to the article in the Mail.

Dr Keiran O'Keefe?  That guy from the Most Haunted Show on TV?  Like he's an expert!
He just de-bunks everything he sees.

If a ghost walked up to him, live on TV, and punched him on the nose in front of witnesses, he would put it down to some kind of hysteria.

No, that is a face... not a random collection of pixels and shadow.

Let me explain what really happened....

The photo was taken. When the friends looked at it, someone said "little johnny looks just like a ghost in that pic, doesn't he?". Everyone agreed and Mr Summers thought to himself "I can make some money out of this". So he phones up the Daily Mail, tells them all about it and they pay him £500 to use the photo.

Case closed.  8)

Hmm...  I wonder if they will give me £500 for my pic?  D)

I wonder whether the photo above captures the extent of just how cold it is.. perhaps the sea water has turned into ice vapour as it has splashed up.. this might seem a crazy idea, but in low temperatures, providing it has been persistently cold, sea water could in theory turn into ice vapour instantly.

Turning Water into Vapor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IErDaHSPrHs#ws)

watch this.

Otherwise it does looks spooky, but it could just be splashed water, with all the splashing going on.. rather them than me!

Depending on what you are doing anything from a few hours to a few days a lot of guys get their focal from the net but I tend to remove them from the background myself an Art in itself, so this takes longer

Not a spooky picture but certainly a spooky experience.  A few weeks ago we went to a small farm just outside Caernarfon for Sootys birthday celebrations with a few friends...nicknamed Budgetfest.  We had an excellent time camping in the field listening to live music and enjoying the Bbq. 
One of Sootys mates was a guy called Ricky Nugent.  In 1978 "Rockin' Ricky and the Velvet Collars" were in the Guinness book of records for playing non stop rockin' roll for 6 days to raise money for an operation for a little local boy.
Anyway Ricky is also a spiritualist and I had a reading with him.  He used tarot cards and I have to say he was brilliant.  he said lots of things but a couple of issues stood out.  He said that I wouldn't be working in pubs for much longer........which is good as I'm really bored with it now and have been yearning to do something completely different for months.  The other thing he said was "My goodness your a fighter aren't you" I took it he meant I was a strong character, he said "I can see you now stood on a hill, you have exactly the same hair and you are carrying a large sword and shield, you have clearly won a battle of some sort and you have lots of followers cheering you".......no change there then  ;D (quick flick of the hair).  He didn't charge me and he was correct about almost everything he said, I thanked him and we carried on with the celebrations.
On the Monday I returned to work and took Jj with me to meet the Secretary Jill.  I don't really know Jill that well if I'm honest but I knew she'd love Jj.  As I was leaving the office she said "I had a really strange dream about you last night" looking puzzled I said "Oh right" she laughed and said "yes I had a dream you were in one of those 2 wheeled chariots riding up hill, you had a huge sword and a shield......I mean what a silly dream" she was laughing but I could feel a cold shiver go down my back as I remembered what Ricky had said only a couple of days before.  Is that strange or what?  ???

Title: Re: Spooky pictures

Post by: Pendragon on August 30, 2012, 01:57:57 pm
I've probably told you before but I remember having a reading with a woman called Joanne from Colwyn Bay nearly 10 years ago.  I was single and out of work at the time and I was looking for a little direction I suppose.  Joanne didn't use Tarot cards she was more of a medium, I gave her my ring and she preceded to tell me I would soon have a job, I was going to meet a very special man who in her opinion looked like a copper and his name began with an R.  I would be signing a contract......she actually advised me not to do it as I would end up owing a substantial amount of money (she was right there...still paying mates back now  ???) and I would also be married within 12 months.  At the time I laughed it off....married? as if  :o.
However within 3 weeks I was working in the Albion, 2 months later I was dating Gezzy (Robert Geraint) 3 months later I signed the lease for the Albion and 13 months from the day I had the reading with Joanne was my wedding day.  All this is absolutely true and so it seems with hindsight Joanne certainly knew what fate had in store for me.  I know there are some real blaggers out there but some spiritualists really do know their stuff.
If peoples lives and fate were not predetermined wouldn't that cause chaos.
Title: Re: Spooky pictures
Post by: DaveR on August 30, 2012, 03:31:15 pm
If your fate was predetermined, it would surely be the case that you could, for example, walk out into a road in front of a car and not be killed because you knew you were definitely getting a job in the future etc etc. Not the best example, but do you see what I mean?

For Dave R, and all those with an interest in ruined or historic buildings.

This BBC clip is less than 3 mins long, and it is an amazing insight into how right in the middle of New York harbour, there is a large island which was abandoned 50 years ago.   Mother nature has reclaimed all of the island, and the once imposing buildings are an eerie sight to behold.   Shadows of Denbigh Hospital in a way?

Take a look...   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27509955 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-27509955)

Here is a seed pod that has appeared in our garden - long stem, no leaves and neither my wife or I recall seeing a flower - but this does look like a seed pod that could give rise to some aliens!  Will be trying to find out what it is later - suspect an alium of some sort.
