About Me

My photo
Behind Every Cloud is a Kindred Spirit (BECKS)I lost my grandfather when I was 17. I had a VERY difficult time getting over it. How could I still communicate with him? I loved him so much I didn't think I could live without him. I read everything I could get my hands on to do with the "afterlife" and that started it all...the love of Ghost Hunting and the Paranormal. I have been researching the paranormal for over 37 years!! It is my way of staying in touch with my grandfather. Being a Ghost Hunter is not always as exciting as it seems on TV. Many nights I have sat in the dark and not a thing happened. BUT it is those times you DO get that one voice, that one explainable picture or have an experience that sends chills down your back that makes it sooo worth it all!!! My purpose of this blog is not to make people believe in ghosts but maybe to open their minds just a little bit... I LOVE this crazy thing called Ghost Hunting. It is as much a part of me as breathing. I am just a girl that refuses to accept we can't still contact our loved ones after they die. My grandfather won't let me.

What is Ecto Mist/Ecto Plasm/Vapor/Ghostly Mist???

The above photo is one of my FAVORITES!!! I TOOK IT ON MY LUNCH HOUR AT THE ABANDON EASON CEMETARY IN LAKE DALLAS,TX.  I believe it is Ecto Plasm.
Many years ago gypsies and spirit mediums conducted seances for those folks that wanted to speak with their relatives that had passed away. And sometimes an ecto mist would appear from such a session. It appeared that these spirit mediums were gifted to be able to get in contact with the spirit world. In some of their sessions the spirit sometimes would talk through the person that was the medium of such a session. Then the candles would start to flicker and an ecto mist or ecto plasm would appear.

At the present time this mist can be observed by anyone using a video camera or digital camera or a 35mm camera. Through the years to present day, this mist has been called many things. From Ecto Mist to Ecto Plasm. From a Vapor to a Ghostly mist. Amateurs that are in the field of capturing these various forms call it a fog or mist of some sort.

The afore mentioned types of Ecto Mist forms usually display a swirl effect within a vaporous cloud. This type of mist usually is about seven feet off the ground and can travel very quickly at will. There have been numerous photos of this fog or mist from all over the world that were caught on film. In about 75% of the photos taken it appears the usual colors are Gray, White or Black. Although these mists have also been noted to show in several other colors .

It is important to remember that when trying to capture a mist form that you take precautions in cold weather. because your breath could produce what appears to be an Ecto Mist form. It will show as a mist form but without the swirl effect in the photo. This would then be a false picture taken. Also do not smoke while taking pictures, for this will produce the same effect as your breath in cold weather.

These types of forms can be captured almost anywhere but usually can be found at historical sites, battle fields, and cemeteries through out the world.

HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH SOMEONE YOU HAVE LOST

People ask me all the time about "how do you know if a place is haunted?"  "Can I still contact my loved one"?  First, let me say YES you can!!!  They are always around you so you don't have to be in a certain place or it doesn't only have to be at night.

But for some people, they want PROOF or at least get some kind of sign that their loved ones are still around.  I understand this because if you get sign or in some way communicate with them YOU feel better.  Right?  I am going to tell you a couple of inexpensive ways to communicate with someone that has pasted.  Very easy stuff.  You have to talk to THEM like they are still living.  Lets say you wanted to communicate with a grandfather that had passed away.  You can ask him to move an object such as a pair of glasses.  Before you go to bed put the glasses in a certain spot and very lightly sprinkle baby power around the glasses.  Make sure they are in a location out of the vents for the AC or heater and shut the door the room where no one can go in until morning.  Then in the morning, check to see if there are any marks in the baby power that would indicate movement.  Hopefully will you will be able to see if the glasses have moved at all.  And remember, it doesn't mean the glasses had to move SEVERAL inches, just a little so that you can see the baby powder is disturbed.

You could also ask them to move a picture.  Make sure the picture is straight and ask them to title the corner of the picture.  Again, make sure no one would be going near the picture overnight.  And the next morning if the picture is titled......well say "hello to Granny". lol


The same orb just blown up.
 

Another way, of course, is pictures.  When you are alone or their is not a lot of traffic, pets or things that might stir up dust, go from room to room and ask if you loved ones are around could they please show themselves.  If you are using a digital camera make sure it is at least a 7.2megapixels or higher.  The "old timey" Polaroid camera's that shoot out an instant picture is the most undisputed evidence camera you can have as for as pictures.  Digital camera's can be photo shopped so easy and you can't photo shop an instant pictures.  What you are looking for here is orbs......small round balls of light or if your lucky your loved one can manifest in a "mist" form or something that looks like "fog".  This is what you are looking for in your photos.  Now, you may not be able to see them at the time you take the picture with the naked eye, but go back and review your pictures and hopefully you will find what you are looking for.

Hope this was helpful.  Don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen the first night...keep trying.  It may even take a week or so, but just keep trying. :)

Check out my pic

I am still working on my blog, but I posted a story and a picture over to the right in red under "pics".  It's really cool so check it out.

Orbs...

The above pictures are in Salem Massachusetts in 2005.  If you have not been there, YOU MUST GO!!!!! The history is unreal.  The first picture is of an orb we caught late at night around 1:00 in an old cementary where several accussed witches were barred back in 1692-1693.  The second pic is the orb that I croped and blew up.  Very interesting to me....It looks like you can almost "see" the engry just swirling around in it.  An orb is a spiritual orb represented the soul of a departed person. The soul being the essence of who they were in life, complete with their intelligence, their emotions and their personality. The orb or sphere is common in our every day lives.

I have posted just a little about the Salem Witch Trials for your FYI and love to hear what you think about my "orb" pictures. :)
The best-known trials were conducted by the Court of Oyer and Terminer in 1692 in Salem Town. Over 150 people were arrested and imprisoned, with even more accused but not formally pursued by the authorities. All twenty-six who went to trial before this court were convicted. The four sessions of the Superior Court of Judicature in 1693, held in Salem Village, but also in Ipswich, Boston and Charlestown, produced only three convictions in the thirty-one witchcraft trials it conducted. The two courts convicted twenty-nine people of the capital felony of witchcraft. Nineteen of the accused, fourteen women and five men, were executed by hanging.[1] One man, Giles Corey, refused to enter a plea and was crushed to death under heavy stones in an attempt to force him to do so. At least five more of the accused died in prison.

Soldier

Ok.  So this is not a very exciting story but....still it's a story.  Back in 2008 my boss and I went to San Antonio for a conference for work.  He had never really done any "ghost hunting" but he was willing to go with me because he didn't want me to go alone.  It was a nice night other than the wind was blowing a bit.  We took a "ghost tour" that was offered that went around the alamo and haunted hotels.  Just let me say...IT WAS AWFUL!!! I was embarrassed for ghost hunters everywhere as the things these guys were telling people where so far from the truth it hurt!  Anyway....it was about 2:00am in the morning and it was the anniversay date of the alamo battle.  After the ghost tour, I talked my boss into doing "our own investigation".  So we walked all around the alamo and just took pictures.

When we got back to the room we downloaded all the pictures and he couldn't believe what he saw!  The above picture is one we took in front of the alamo.  I am not going to tell you what is in the picture, see if you can figure it out.  I will tell you, that to the right is a girl with her hair blowing as she was trying to get out of the wind.  WE SAW HER but there was no one else around! Do you see it?

Needless to say, my boss loves ghost hunting now and is a true believer after our many "hunts" together and the pictures of mine he has seen.

Ok.  It's your turn.  What story...and I know you have one....can you share?

BTW......In the above picture....it is a solider with a gun strapped across his shoulder, with a helmet on.  HHHUUUMMM
