Spirits

Spirits have been an elusive category for photographic capture this time. I think when they show up in my photos, it has a lot to do with my vibration and my level of receptivity to Spirit in my life. After a meditation, for example, my vibration is higher than when I am angry about something, or when I am just feeling good and positive, my vibration is higher, and I am more inclined to get something exciting in my photos. Spirit is in everything, the land, the air, a chair! There is the spirit of laughter, the spirit of melancholy, the spirit of joy, the spirit of boredom--- the list is endless. Spirit in a chair, an inanimate object, may be hard for some to fathom, but remember, that the wood in a chair was once living and had its own spirit. Everything, all matter, has vibration, energy, and spirit, even a lampshade. Yes, I know, it's a hard concept to accept sometimes, but this information comes from a high, trusted source, so I accept it. Think about it as you view the photos and remember to click on them to enlarge. Click images below to enlarge.

	#1 I took this photo outside Glacier National Park in Montana. Note the woodland spirit, in the upper left, in the tree, rather mistlike. Looks like a happy cherub to me.

#2 After a meditation during a paranormal investigation workshop, (see Ghosts category for more information) I took this photo of a darkened,empty hotel ballroom. I received information during the meditation that I should go to this location in the hotel and photograph. This hotel is over a hundred years old, has much paranormal activity, and many historic events took place in that ballroom. I took several photos back to back from the same vantage point, and all the other photos are dark except this one. Pay attention to the light flying in the lower portion of the image, because it flies under and in front of a chair, something a photographic anomaly will not do. The bright light at the top right is the flash of my camera, but the orange light I believe is the spirit in the room. During further meditations, I received information that the spirit was a woman who danced in that ballroom with two admirers in 1905 or thereabouts, and the flying lights are reflections of her jewelry as she dances around the room. On one such evening, she danced with a cavalry officer while her true love looked on. The cavalry officer later murdered the young woman's true love, and the ghost of this woman, and her spirit remains in the hotel in grief over her murdered lover.

#3 In the same hotel, my camera accidentally took this picture of the lower part of a door. I say accidentally, because I have no memory of taking this photo, and perhaps, with my camera in hand always ready to capture a spirit, I could have hit the shutter button. When I saw the image later, I was surprised to see three figures in the wood of the door. The wood grain is forming three different patterns which to me, registered immediately in my mind as three Shamen. Each of their faces is different. When I asked Dr. Peebles (see Summer Bacon Gallery for more info on Dr. Peebles) about this photo, he told me the tree from which the door was made had imprinted the spirits of three such men from a South American culture. He states, "Wood has fantastic properties of recording events and incidents, because it starts out as a living tree, and the tree is very sensitive to the surrounding environment, to individuals. If someone should die under a tree, they become imprinted within the bark, within the interior that ultimately becomes the surface of the wood. You see, trees are highly composed of vibrational frequencies, and these are recorded within the grain of the tree, very much as you would record music on a recorder. That's something science has yet to figure out."

	#4 While taking photos on my balcony one night, I asked that Spirit and/or my guides show up. I IMMEDIATELY got this photo, as well as two more much like it. Yes, this is my foot, which I didn't mean to capture, but notice the lights flying in a weaving fashion through the railing of my balcony!

	#5 This is one of my strangest photos, taken at Mesa Verde one night, using a tripod. I asked for the spirit of the Anazazi people to come into my photos and this is what I got. I have cropped it out of the original photo for easier viewing, but have not enhanced it. This was taken into the night sky.
