Early in the New Year, I received a telephone call
from the Cheshire Paranormal Society,
asking for help on their web site
and the following day, John (Team Leader),
a fascinating chap, came around here
and gave me a CD of their web endeavours so far.
In
the evening,
I wandered through their offline web site
and was intrigued at what I saw.
They seem to get calls from old pubs and spooky houses, etc.
and take pictures of an odd orb or ghost occasionally.
I was fascinated
sufficiently to raise a few hairs on my neck.
I've got
a web page http://www.drakesvision.com/2002/
that I did for New Years Eve, at the Masonic Club
across the road,
and after seeing the blobs that the paranormal guys had photographed,
I reviewed the original 79 images, comparing his Orbs with my blobs
many of which had irritated me on first viewing by their frequent occurance,
on a majority of my images.
I had managed
to cut out a lot of these strange blobs,
blaming light / finger errors, before uploading the edited page,
hoping that nobody would notice the odd blemish,
and it raised a few smiles from the partygoers who have since seen the
page.
To my uninitiated
mind, the blobs on the original images were errors...
dust, reflection or bad angle/photographer
but on second viewing, with new information,
I was stunned at the frequency of the orbs.
The next
day, John brought his computer round here for me to have a look at,
unfortunately he called as I was preparing to take my dear wife to work
and I only had time to show him the first two New Years Eve pictures but,
after he took Sylvia to work, I knew that his interest was piqued.
Thursday
saw John as expected
and I showed him the remainder of the New Year images,
he also was gobsmacked,
before I invited him to join me for a pint on my usual Thursday visit
to the Club.
He turned
up with a couple of cameras and,
after checking with the Club Chairman,
we proceeded to photograph all the various rooms. Strange.
Astonished
at the results,
I've taken my digital camera, an Olympus C-830L,
several times again, to double check.
John, John
& Pauline have also produced positive images
and George,the Bars Director, has captured an Orb or two on his digital
camera.
I've now
got over a thousand images on my computer. I've examinined the the anti-paranormal
stuff and accept the premice that they may be caused by cheap digital
camera fash on a 'dust motr' but remain uneasy about the pattern that
I'm getting
I can see
much more testing to come...
