The Ghost Foot

Here is a picture a friend of mine took during a music video shoot. If you look down below next to the BTS camera you will see a shoe and part of a leg that fades as it goes up. This is not a Photoshop trick or time exposure! If it were a time exposure, there would be another foot or portion of a body with shadows and this person would have to be moving pretty fast and still be able to keep his foot planted on the floor perfectly still. No one on the set had white shoes on! They didn't notice this until they downloaded the pictures to the computer. You can kind of see a little bit of a body behind the guy in shorts.

Maryland Old House Ghost

2nd Floor Ghost

Here is a photograph taken by accident at an old house in Maryland. There was obviously no one standing there at the top of the stairs when the picture was taken. Everyone was a little shaken over the photo and the owner of the house does not want the location submitted. This spirit look like someone from the 1800 by the clothes. There was no past information of any paranormal activity here. You be the judge.

Linda Vista Ext. Ghost

Here is an exterior shot of the front entrance of Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles, CA. Look at the right side of the main entrance ledge. I guess we weren't alone. You can see a woman in a what looks like a hospital gown. We will be investigating the inside Linda Vista soon and we will let you know our findings.

Bathtub Ghost

Here is a house we took snap shots at. we took lots of photos in every room and saved the bathroom for last. A woman supposedly overdosed while in the tub 10 years ago. It was very cold in the bathroom, so we snapped several photos and I caught this in the mirror that faced the shower/bathtub area. This was the only picture in the house that had results. It creeped us out!

This picture was taken at Linda Vista Hospital, Los Angeles, CA on Sept. 8, 2007 - 10:30pm.
The girl in the hallway was not there when the picture was taken. This hallway leads to the morgue on the lower level.

(Shawn I moved this pic over here, since Halloween is over. It's causing me problems in the other spot.) :)

Old School Spooky Film Tricks

Dark Spooky Hallways

I believe the old traditional style tricks in Hollywood for making spooky horror film is the best and still scariest way to scare the audience. New digital CGI effects only cheapen the film and the audience tends to see that the effect is non-believable. I’m all for old school special effects. This is an art form you can’t learn in a couple hours like with the computer effects that kids are learning. The audience thinks they are sometimes cool to look at but not very scary and are growing used to these effects to the point they are ruining the film. There are very few film companies making horror films the old way and that gives them the extra edge to scaring their audience like "Ghost Story" and "The Sixth Sense".
