The first picture was taken at a grave yard at about 11:30 pm. My 10 year old daughter seems to capture all kinds of eerie stuff on film. She also sees and talks to spirits and dreams of things before they happen. Sometimes she seems to know what people are thinking. I believe that she may be gifted with an insight few others have.
Anyway, we recently moved to a new house and since the first night my daughter, “Ree”, has claimed to be in contact with a small girl who was supposedly killed in our home and buried in a nearby graveyard. I’ve looked into this and can’t validate it through records. The spirit girl’s name is Amy.
The other night were decided to ride four wheelers down to the cemetery and spook each other. Ree took our camera. She took several pictures on our trip of different things. This particular photo seemed to be just pitch darkness with a faint outline. I put it on my computer and did auto color contrast and you can see a toddler sitting in front of a headstone.

The next picture was taken the same night at a vacant house about a quarter mile from ours. We asked around about the house because it seems to draw Ree to it. Apparently nobody will live there longer than a month or two. Nobody knows why. I also did auto color contrast on this picture. Look at all the orbs. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Orbs at Vacant House
She got a few more pictures with frightening images that night, but most of them were normal. The area we live in has many historical markers documenting Indian massacres. We are going to set up a camera and recorder in the vacant house soon to see if we can pick up any activity.

They’re spooky looking pics and i’m not saying they aren’t genuine, but i’m always aware of new tech now.
The pictures you sent seemed quite legitimate to me. I suggest you send them to several paranormal experts to have them further analysed.
Ghosts often appear to us in pictures because they are supposedly able to channel their energy through these technological contraptions enabling themselves to manifest in the form of successive pixels one after the other.
If you want to find more about this phenomenon, there are several books dedicated to this topic.
As for your daughter, try and harness her potential to the fullest extent. My grandma told me how she had a friend who was psychic, but she ended up ‘opening’ paths or portals and died after being willed to commit suicide from an evil spirit she accidentally let in.
take care and good luck with your daughter and paranormal research
Hi there
As I am a but dubious when it comes to orbs caught on camera, may I ask what the weather conditions were like, when the photo was taken? Thanks
I can’t see a toddler in the picture. All I see is flowers in front of the gravestones
I’m not doubting your daughters abilities but those pictures i’m not so sure about. I’m not saying they’re fake but the toddler in front of the grave could be a pile of leaves or a flower sitting infront of the grave (if you look at the other graves it seems that they have something sitting infront of them too) or it could even be a wisp of mist from your daughters breath, my problem is that it only has a vague shape of a toddler and your mind could be telling you thats what it is. The picture of the orbs could be anything from dust, pollen to fog and basically never anything supernatural. I’ve only been wowed by a picture of an orb once in my life and this picture of orbs is, in my opinion, nothing supernatural.
I would like to hear more stories about your daughter though. Did that just sound creepy?
I have been investigating public haunts and homes for years. I am asked to evaluate lots of pictures similar to this one. I’m sure your daughter has a gift, but unfortunatly 99.9% of orb pictures are nothing paranormal. I can tell by looking at the pattern, size, shape and location that this was caused by moisture & possible insects. The reason why moisture looks like this on film (and is a perfect candidate to be mistaken as a ghost) is because you can’t see it with the naked eye. (there can be moisture without rain & or snow as well) However when you take the photograph the molucules are blasted by the flash of the camera causing a magnification effect. In return the invisible moisture dropplets quadroople in size and look as if they are lit up, and transparent. Insects are guilty of the same phenomena. However often insects in photographs look like a light streak due to the blast of the flash during the rate the insect is moving. The only orb pictures I believe are lagitimate are the “orbs” you see with the naked eye before & during the time the photograph is taken. I have only been to one case where I watched a small stream of light flicker and glow like a single christmas light right before my eyes (not on video camera). That was a very active case, and I have never been to one quite like it since ( I have done over 100 household investigations). The pictures that show true “orbs” often show only 1 single one. It usually looks like a light of its own (as if its omitting its oun illumination) However like I said the only way to have a true orb picture is if you are seeing one during the duration of the photo being taken. Even then it may stil possibly have another explanation.
im sorry but i cant see anything in any picture. on the one of the orbs…i think its just dust and maybe insects. thats just my opinnion
the 1st looks like a hooded ghost . agree?
yea it kinda does but it also looks like the little boys hair, can u see the parting?
the first picture looks like something kneeling kind of like a boy or something.the second one i dont see anything at all.i think you should of circled it what we were supose to see.the third one lots and lots of orbs.different sizes.unless it was raining then thats a different story.thanks for the story.
