Been away from SpiritKeep for a while now ... away from doing anything with ghosties... but just recently the interest was somewhat rekindled when my wife (Kim) and I went to St. Augustine FL for our 6th anniversary. We decided to do it all ... while there... things we had wanted to in the past but for lack of time and funds did not. We took a carriage ride and a ghost tour from Ripley's. Found out some history about the places that I had not known. For instance the Fountain of Youth grounds also is an Indian Burial and Sacrificial ground. The tour guide told us that the area we were walking past was a place that they sacrificed infants to some god. Kim snapped these photos of that area. I have never seen so many brightly colored orbs.
As you can see the first pic only had a few.. the second taken a few seconds later blossoming in color.
During my phototaking there with my camera I did not get many orbs but I was more getting energy ribbons which was a first for me.
Here is one that surprised me the one orb in the top left corner ... but the vivid energy that streaked across in front of my lens. I was shooting into complete darkness. I was shooting away from the rest of the group.. because I always have a feeling that I might miss something behind us...
Later we went to the hugenot cemetery I took pics there but got nothing Kim got more orbs but I have not gotten them uploaded yet. Then we toured the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum after hours with the lights out.
The Mansion was a turn of the century summer cottage of a tycoon. Then sat empty and abandonned through the depression. Then in the 40's it was taken over and made into a resort for Hollywoods Rich and Famous. During this time many wealthy famous people stayed at the resort including Ripley himself. Later his surviving family purchased the resort and turned it into the first Ripley's Museum. There was a mysterious fire in the resort on the second floor during the 40's in which two women died. The fire was suspected to be set to cover a murder. The other woman died of smoke inhalation and was discovered in her bathroom. While on this tour I passed a room that had a chair with a towel draped across and there was a claw foot tub in the room as well. I just snapped a quick pic into the room. I saw the the room light up there was nothing there out of the ordinary... but the image produced an errie red smoke filling the room.
