My vacation to the country
We were driving down a long, dark, country road looking for an inn where we could stay the night. Out of nowhere there appeared a little girl who ran out in front of our car. She was wearing a cute little sun dress, but she appeared to be completely alone. There were no adults anywhere to be seen- and when we tried asking her she did not respond and ran away. We looked for her everywhere but could not find her.
Creeper
Every time I go over to my friend's house, I keep catching glimpses of this guy looking in through the window. The only problem is that I never see him actually in the window, I only see him in the mirror looking through the window. Weird right? My friend swears she's never seen this "guy looking through the window in the mirror before" and thinks I'm a little crazy and paranoid that people are watching us. Well this time I managed to take a pic with my phone that got the window without anyone in it and the mirror with the guy creepin. She believes me now, but new questions arise, who...
Creepy Catherine
Have you ever read Harry Potter? Then you must know about Moaning Myrtle. She haunts the girls bathroom in the Hogwarts castle. Well, this young ghost represented in my picture, is Moaning Myrtle's sister. Creepy Catherine roams around the street in which she got killed by the same snake that instantly killed her sister Myrtle. Catherine hides around the street during the day, but when the sun goes down she comes out and haunts all the villagers.
Ghost of Virginia Hall
Heard rumors of the ghost of Virginia Hall? I had too, but didn't believe any of it until I came across this picture my sophomore year here at Mary Wash. A friend of mine was living in Virginia Hall and needed some floor boards replaced due to wear and tear. Before the workmen came by to fix everything, my friend and I were checking out the damage and a floorboard broke. We dug up this picture from underneath - proof of the supernatural at Mary Washington.
Gettysburg
Over fall break I visited Gettysburg with my family and boyfriend. Being the photographer in the family I snapped pictures without really paying attention to what I was looking at. When I got home and got a chance to look at the pictures I noticed that there was something strange in one of the pictures. I guess some of the soldiers were not ready to leave yet.
Light and Shadow
While walking home late one night, i noticed that all of the rooms in this building had the lights on, which was unusual for this part of town. I was going to just walk away when I heard footsteps on the overpass leading to the building. I turned, but no one was there. The footsteps continued, so I took a picture, thinking the flash would scare off any pursuer. I was shocked by the shadow that loomed from the image on my camera. It wasn't someone following me, but something more sinister.
Shanty Town Tragedy
This shanty town was abandoned after a terrible accident involving an adjacent chemical factory exploded emitting toxins into the air. Most of the particulate matter settled in the shanty poisoning its inhabitants immediately. One child however, was not in the immediate area at the time of the explosion, and upon his return to the village found all his friends and family dead. He would suffer for three days before dying from the toxins of the chemical factory. Some say that on a bright and sunny day, the kind that is perfect for child's play the ghost of the lost child can be seen.
Kaori
Kaori is Japanese spirit known to be a trickster, in a past life she was in fact a Geisha. Here I snapped a photo of her as she was about to pull a prank on poor Airi. Most likely, she would have spilled the tea pot had she not realized I had in fact seen her. However that was not to be the end of my experience with Kaori, this trickster had something up her sleeve. As I opened the photos on my computer to edit them, slightly of course, she prevented me from doing so! Not once! But twice! I am positive that she shut down my photo program as revenge for discovering the evidence of her...
Facebook Clairvoyance
During the ice storm last week, my dog started into her full body-wiggle, which is her way of saying she needs to go outside. I was slow to remove myself from the couch, so she took her request to the next level with her original series of melodic, staccato tones. I grabbed my phone on the way to the backdoor and slid the glass open for her. She rocketed into the backyard.
While waiting for her to complete her business, I snapped a picture of the icicles that formed on our back stoop railing and gazebo. I took a minute to upload the picture to Facebook to show our California...
Ghost?
I moved into a historical house one winter for a project for my history course. The house was both beautiful and delicate but freezing at night since the cold air crept it's way through the baseboards. Since me and Vanessa, my lab partner, couldn't sleep we decided to check out the graveyard in the backyard. We had heard that the family had been buried in the backyard. I snapped this picture while we out there to add to our portfolio. When I ran it through the black room I thought I saw a ghost on the brick wall of the house but I am not sure if it's just the shadows of that night what do...
