Seekers of the Supernatural
There is a full form of a woman, with back to the camera, just to the left of the tree . . . outstanding.
You can see how she’s slightly stooped over and is wearing a full length, older style dress with full arms.
A photo taken just prior to this one only had the mist apparent in the shot. That mist formed into this full figured ghost.
Preternatural Causes
 |
This photo of me was taken during the incubus case. I had been feeling an extremely strong psychic cold moving all around me and when I asked the colleague with me to take a picture, he captured the blackened, demonic spirit directly in front of me. |
 |
This is a truly fantastic picture. During the incubus investigation, I received very strong “feelings” to go into the basement… this is what I found. Written in the dust atop the oil tank were the words “Got God” with three crosses between the words. Three crosses to mock the Trinity. No one had been in the basement prior to me finding this. |
 |
This photo indicates the presence of one of the two human spirits that were also present in the incubus house. The weather this night was clear but cold. |
 |
This photo was taken by a person I had investigated. Although I don’t know what prompted him to take the shot when he did, he captured a great photo of a negative human spirit. |
 |
This is probably one of the most fantastic photo of a demonic spirit I’ve seen in my years of research. This photo was taken by a family member during the course of the investigation. Never have I seen a more distinct and brilliant reddish glow, emanating from nowhere caught on film. This is not a light leak of any sort. |
(Preternatural Spirits)
The pictures on this page actually show what happens during or after a preternatural event. Although you will not see any psychic photos on this page, we are dealing with an entirely different type of spirit and the diabolical attacks the families involved dealt with were far more destructive and dangerous than any human haunting can be. These pictures are just a small sampling of the wide variety of activity and damage that can occur during a preternatural attack.
 |
What you’re seeing in this picture is an eraser that was in the process of walking across the living room floor. Although, in a diabolical sense, this is very minor, the eraser was MEANT to be seen by the family for the purpose of scaring them and raising negative energy levels in the house. |
 |
The scars on James’ back came from a physical attack, one of many. Although he would rarely feel any pain from these attacks, large welts and boils would form on his back, chest and face, begin bleeding then disappear. These were some of the few scars left behind. Wendy, his wife, also experienced similar “psychic slashes” on her stomach, while she was pregnant with their son.
|
 |
This photo shows the beginning process of another, passive, diabolical attack. Water would begin dripping from the beams of the cellar ceiling, as seen here. After intense scrutiny, I found that there was no known source of origin of the water. Minutes later, the beams were bone dry.
|
 |
As the water would reach the cellar floor, it would turn to V8 juice, as seen here. Kind of silly when you think about it… until you realize that Tomato products make James violently ill. Just another small but menacing way of constantly attacking James’ will to fight.
|
 |
These last two photos were taken in a house experiencing poltergeist activity. Some people associate poltergeist activity with demonic or diabolical forces but in this particular house, this was not the case. As can bee seen in the two photos, extreme physical damage was taking place. Both holes in the walls were done while no one was at home, the family came home to sheet-rock everywhere. |
 |
What is not shown in these two pictures is the multitude of holes made in various other rooms in the house. Also, a fire broke out in one of the bedrooms which both police and fire inspectors state, on record, had no natural cause. |
(More Human Spirits) –
 |
Here is a photo taken on one of the entrance trails in Dudleytown, CT, near Cornwall. This picture was taken during the winter with a cloudy, gray sky. Notice the misty shape in the left/center of the picture. This picture is outstanding because it’s a skeptics worst nightmare. You can see that no one is nearby that can cause the mist, nor is there any other visible or natural means for this mist to be present. |
 |
Quite an unusual photo here. This picture was sent in from an individual who was photographing sites in Gettysburg, PA. Note the snakelike form of this psychic mist. |
 |
There are three ghost globules in this photo. I took this picture one night when I was bored and decided to take a trip to a cemetery in north-central Connecticut. Ghost globules are the most basic and frequent form of spirit activity to be caught on camera. This is how a ghost or apparition manifests in many cases. The weather this night was cold but clear. |
 |
Here is a photo taken during an investigation involving a haunting of a house by elemental spirits. This was the first case we’re I’ve seen the trapezoidal ghost globules and unlike most cases I’ve investigated, this house was so filled fill activity, I was getting about 10 psychic photos per roll, a number MUCH higher than average. |
|
Words can’t say much about this picture. I shouldn’t even have to explain anything about it. This was another photo sent in, the photographer claims not to have been smoking while taking this shot but I believe the smoke at the bottom is in fact, cigarette smoke. The mist at the top/left is NOT… BUT… if you look closely at the woman in the center of the picture, you’ll notice another form in the mist, to the left of the tree. Click on the picture for a better, more detailed image. |
Now I’d like to show you a few Preternatural photos, images created or caused by demons or devils.
(Human Spirits)
Like everything else on this site and in my work, when I put my name behind something, I thoroughly examine all avenues of possibility and when nothing rational fits, I can start looking into supernatural explanations. The next few pages will have photos of actual supernatural and preternatural spirits caught on film. I’ll try to explain each one as best as possible, concerning the weather at the time the photo was taken and why and what would classify them as they are.
 |
This photo was taken at about dusk, with fair skies. This is a classic photo of a “Ghost Veil”. Human spirits can show themselves in many ways but the ghost veil is one of the least common of them all. Veils, in photography are distinguished by their almost solid but flowing appearance. |
 |
This is a fairly odd form of ghost globule. Some people believe this photo to be the image of a bug or moth in flight but after looking at other pictures of actual insects in flight, the appearances are much different. Others believe this form of trapezoidal ghost globule to actually be caused by an Elemental, or Earth, spirit and I have received photos very similar to this one in areas thought to be inhabited by elementals . . . human spirit or elemental, you decide. |
 |
The next two pictures were all taken at an amusement park that has a legend of Indian spirits roaming the grounds. The weather the night these photos were taken was clear but very cold. Sample pictures were taken that night to rule out steam from breathing and these pictures are indeed of human spirits. |
 |
Many people have told me that they see a face in this picture. If I try hard enough, I could probably say I see two, maybe three faces… but I won’t. I’ll just say that this is a fantastic image captured on film. Many times, spirits do NOT like people trying to take their picture so one way we like to “play the game” is to quickly turn and shoot, or shoot over our shoulders. That’s how this picture was taken, this is what was behind me. |
 |
This photo was sent in by a person who was out in a cemetery one night. This is an outstanding picture of a psychic mist, or ectoplasm. It looks as if it were beginning to form a more recognizable shape when this photo was taken. Another few seconds and this might have been a full human form. |
Photos (The Natural Causes)
To keep in line with the rest of this site, I’ve decided NOT to go for quantity, but to use each of these photographs as learning tools, so YOU can learn what you should look for, and what I look for when reviewing pictures, Again, as with everything in this field, first rule out any possibility of natural causes before considering something supernatural or preternatural. There can be some extremely fine lines between natural and unnatural causes and there also can be very big differences between the two. On these few pages, you’ll see may different different photos and I’ll discuss as much as possible about each to help explain what, why, and how each is what it is.
Light Leaks
A natural occurrence caused by a few possibilities. Most common reasons are a defect in the camera itself, accidental opening of the film door, or exposure to light during processing.
 |
Light leaks are usually reddish in color, with lighter shades to orange and yellow and darker shades to pink and purple. Notice how, in the picture to the left, the discoloration goes all the way across the image. In MOST cases of a light leak, the discoloration will go across the entire image, and sometimes the entire roll of film.Chances are, this fault was caused during processing because the photo was taken during the night and the change of light exposure bright enough to corrupt this image is unlikely. |
| This photo shows a bright vertical discoloration towards the center of the frame. Because this photo was taken during the day, the film door on the back of the camera was probably opened while the film was still in use. Notice how it is brightest on the bottom of the photo, that would indicate the bottom of the camera was probably facing closest to the sun. | |
 |
Here’s a photo that’s a little tougher to distinguish. Others have called this picture legitimate, I don’t. Here’s why. Like the first photo, this picture has almost the exact same color hues, and covers the entire vertical height but some kind of obstruction had blocked a portion (notice the distinct border between the red and the obstruction). It also almost looks as if the picture had been taken in the same cemetery. |
Atmospherics
Of all the mislabeled photos I’ve seen, atmospherics and weather are the most commonly confused causes. The person taking the photograph should be fully aware of the weather conditions at the time of shooting. An investigator should also, when viewing photos, ask what the conditions were at the time of photography to rule out natural causes. Unfavorable weather conditions would be conditions such as high humidity, fog, rain or snow. Below are some pictures that were confused as paranormal but are actually naturally caused due to weather.
 |
This picture was taken on a foggy, or extremely high humidity night. Although the person may not have noticed the fog at first, it shows extremely well in this picture. Light is dispersed and reflected by fog or high humidity… like trying to drive with your high beams through fog. The brighter an object in the field of view is, the more it disperses and reflects light. This picture shows that very clearly. |

Here is a picture of a very light snow flurry. I took this photo myself strictly for the purpose of pointing this out. A few things would lead one to question a supernatural rationality: first, the sheer quantity. It’s very rare to get a true paranormal photo with this many “globules”. Secondly, the shape. Most ghost globules are almost perfectly round. All of the “globules” in this picture are more elliptical in shape. Pictures taken while raining will show very similarly to snow. |
Miscellaneous
Here are a few more photos that have natural explanations. Some of these pictures were mistakenly thought as paranormal or were purposefully “forged”.
 |
Good old lens flare. Lens flare is almost always a dead give away. Some key determining factors in lens flare is their octagonal shape, the fact that they always point in a straight and opposite line from the sun, and are usually a shade of red. In the photo to the left, although you cannot see the sun, or any shadows to determine the direction of the sun, you can draw a straight line through the length of the flare spots to where the sun would be. Depending on the angle from the sun, the lens, any filters used, and the time of the day, the quantity, size and color of the spots will vary. |
 |
At one point in time, I considered this a paranormal photo but after years of doubt and speculation, I would have to, out of a clear conscious, have to reconsider this a normal occurrence. I would say the most likely reason is either underexposure, incorrect film speed or poor lens quality. A low film speed is used for outdoor or bright lighting, too low a lighting will cause a grainy effect, similar to this picture. |
 |
Some people would consider this picture a “psychic mist’. It’s not. It’s cigarette smoke. The main, visual difference is the roughness of the mist, the more detailed, individual lines are too apparent. A true psychic mist is much more smooth and blended to the background. |
 |
This picture is a little more difficult to pick out as a natural occurrence but I believe that the photo was taken through the closed window of a vehicle and what we’re seeing here is actually the reflection something in the back seat of the vehicle. |
Everyone must always remember to keep an open mind when taking and viewing photographs in the paranormal field. Most of the time there are rational explanations for what we’re seeing on film. Normally, even when photographing a known haunted location, only one or two true psychic photos will be achieved out of an entire roll of film.
Now, on to the REAL supernatural and preternatural photos. I’ll explain what they are and why they appear as they do…
