This was years before that.

At the time the picture was taken, there was nothing out of the ordinary going on. It was Christmas morning, I was with family opening gifts. No bad, scary feelings or any other sort of creepiness that day. The only reason I even remember what year it was is because I had just been promoted and was wearing my Navy jumper with my new second class crow on the sleeve.

Maybe it was a camera glitch - who knows? But like it said, it was only in that one shot.

I dont believe in ghosts, but did have something happen to me that made me question my non-belief.

When I was in my late teens, my friends and I would go park on this old farm road in Springfield we called "The Y" to smoke the hippy lettuce. Right across the road there was a big field a guy I went to high school with dumped another guy's body that I went to high school with after he shot him. That has nothing to do with this story though. :D

Anyway, one night we were out there getting ripped and we heard what sounded exactly like a human baby crying. We were trying to follow the sound and it sounded like it was coming from under a near-by bridge. It kept crying and crying so we pulled the car up so we could aim the headlights under the bridge. We didnt see shit but the crying kept getting louder. We started getting scared so we left.

About a month later I was at another friends house (he lived with his grandparents) and was telling him about it. His granddad was in another room listening. He came into the room holding an old newspaper. It turns out my friend's granddad was a detective in Springfield in the 50's. He asked exactly what bridge I was talking about and when I told him he handed me the paper. Sometime in the early 50's a woman threw her 3 month old baby under that same bridge and left it there. It wasnt found until a few weeks later and was obviously dead. My friend's granddad was the lead detective on the case and kept that newspaper all these years.

My friend kept saying it was probably some kind of animal but I know the difference between a baby cry and an animal cry. I didnt sleep at all that night and didnt sleep well for a couple weeks.

if ghosts dont have physical bodies how can they reflect light to be captured on camera?

That sounds totally made up...like every haunted house movie Ive ever seen. Sorry to doubt you if it is true.

When ghosts talk
it's like hearing someone talk without breath
you'll know when you hear it

Ghostof?

Besides my fun out in Stull, I had another one that truly did startle me.

I had a friend in high school who died in a car accident. He was buried at that cemetery at Metcalf and College. A group of us went to the cemetery on the night of the first anniversary of his death, at the precise time he died in the accident. We walked up to his grave and didn't say anything, just kind of all individually paying our respects. Suddenly, I heard a faint thump. I just thought it was my imagination and carried on. A few seconds later, I heard it again, only louder. I opened my eyes, and immediately felt a thump under my feet. I looked at my friends, and they all had the same expression on their faces. I couple of them ran back to the car, and I soon followed.

No problem. Its a true story for sure, but I get your hesitation. We had a hard time believieng what was happening while it was happening.

But you know I never understood the really cold, seeing your breath part until I saw "Sixth Sense". Too funny...

Did you ever learn any more about the history of the house? Who built it in the 30's etc.? Just curious.

How do you know the reflective light isnt the ghosts medium and television crew taking pictures of us?

I mean think about it...what if we are ghosts in their world/plane/existence...since they are ghosts/shadows in ours existence. That would explain alot of things.

I see naive people. Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're naive.

They're everywhere.

DONT get me started on Stull..

or the pet cemetary off I-70 west of the West Lawrence exit

People will see things if they want to see things.

Any picture you see like that happens because of defects in the film, or just the way the picture is taken.

You know I dont remember. This happened back in 1992. Alot of the finer details are fuzzy. We may have asked. I honestly dont remember tho. I moved out of the house soon after and just wanted to get far away from it. And at 23 years old, I probably didnt care anyways.
