Ghost Pictures

Check out the movie "White Noise", it's a holloywood spin on this theme but has some good extra features of the people who actually inspired the flick. I've never gotten a spirit on tape but I believe it happens from time to time.

As far as speaking with the dead:

No one I know has the guts to really do it.
In the early to mid 1800's, spirituality was the "in thing", the "cat's meow". Everyone would come over to your house on a Friday night and bust out the ouija board or light some candles and call to the spirits of the dead.

Then growing up, our parents tell us that ouija boards are evil and satanic, that seances are the work of Satan.

Why?
What did our grandparents learn that they forbid their children from learning? That it is real? That we are capable of much more than we ever thought? That spirits will haunt your ass if you piss 'em off?
Whatever happend, most of our parents are scared to death of the ouija board. And we all know at least one person with an unbelieveable ouija board story. We always shrug it off as hyper imagination or over excitment, or exaggeration. Maybe not. Maybe it really does work if all the people involved have true intentions. Maybe we are missing out on something the ancients knew for thousands of years. Communion with the dead is not a fantasy. You just have to be open and aware enough to precieve it.

my wife did not believe it until we were pestered for about three months. Thumping noises in our bedroom until I would turn on the lights, a whole plate of food that went missing, odd feelings like someone was eyeballing us, and more bumps and thumps in the night. It became bad enough that we actually started talking about it out loud. I realized that whatever was haunting us, just wanted to be recognized. I told my wife to acknowledge it's existance. Let it know that you know. I told her this for weeks and she wouldn't do it because she refused to believe it. Finally after another run in with it's little noise making game, she acknowledged it out loud. She said "Hi. Please leave us alone." Since that day we have not been pestered. That's not to say we have been ALONE...

It may sound crazy to some but for me it is a reality. If you don't believe in it, let me ask you this:
Would you go walking into a very old graveyard at midnight all by yourself? Why not? Are you afraid of something?

You should be.

Oh man! That's funny Soloflecks! I grew up not much more than a mile from a cemetary, and we would go down there many times after dark. There were cow fields all around. Needless to say if you weren't aware of that it could get rather spooky.
Bhang, I saw that movie. That's where saw the video. Not a big Michael Keaton fan, or Hollywood movie fan, but I thought the idea was a good one.
Also, my wife got her present name from a quija board. We still have it in the closet. Never use, though. But, you're right. We are taught something is defenitely wrong about using them and other means of paranormal communications. You don't always know who you're gonna get with those types of things, but the same could be said for 3D. Hahaha!

A couple of quick points from an old New Ager.

Ouija boards are doorways into the astral realm, where lots of strange beings reside. What to have some fun? Burn an old Ouija board. I hear the flames are unreal.

Ghosts can often be sent on their way by placing a Quartz Crystal in the window of the room where they stay. I did this on my dad's ghost and it worked very nicely.

There is a great book on the subject called "THe Unquiet Dead" which I like very much. I forget the author's name, but I am sure you can find it at any big bookstore.

Hope this helps.
