Some people are offended by the word, ghosts. They prefer to use the term, non-physicals. Ok, but the term non-physicals applies to a lot more than ghosts, so it could get confusing. Ghosts and poltergeists are non-physicals that stayed here when they should have caught the light train, er tunnel, if you know what I mean, after their bodies died. They stayed here for any number of reasons, like, they were stuck in grief, or they were traumatized and didn't know they had changed dimensions, or they just didn't want to go yet. You can certainly ask them to tell you by any number of methods why they are still here. When I got these photos, I wanted to know such things, so I went to a workshop for a week in Colorado at a haunted hotel. I would tell you the name of the hotel, but the owners don't like that kind of reputation for their business, so I will defer to them and hope to return there next October. However, any old building will do if you want to take photos of ghosts and spirits and poltergeists, oops, and non-physicals, 'cause they like to hang out in places like that where they once lived or spent time. I do wonder where they go if the building is demolished, but maybe they still stay until someone aids their departure to the Light, which by the way, is a nice thing to do for them, if you can persuade them to go to the place where they will be happier and at peace.

Now, don't expect to see Casper here, cause Casper is a Hollywood ghost, and he is a little round from all that Hollywood food. These ghosts are wan and pale, and I certainly don't think they have had a good meal in a while, but all lightheartedness aside, these ghosts you will have to look for a bit harder than Casper.

#1 and #2 These two photos, taken back to back, no flash, are of a corner of a hotel room which is reputedly haunted. You can see the dressing mirror in the first photo, nothing unusual there, but in the second photo, #2, the mirror is a bit obscured by an apparition, a ghost, partly behind it and partly around it. This is the ghost of the woman whose spirit is dancing in the ballroom in the Spirits category, photo #2. I know this from a channeling session with Summer Bacon and Dr. Peebles. Anyway, the ghost of the woman behind the mirror is there because she stayed in this room when she was alive and her lover was murdered. She doesn't go to the Light, because of grief for him, but she will go when he helps her to go. (another story that I will put in my book, so stay tuned). Note also the red light at the bottom of the image on the left side of the mirror, another Spirit.
#3 I cannot tell you the truth of the gray ghost, because it would be too shocking, but the gray "ghost" is walking through the laundry bin, so you can see his leg, with a brown shoe on his foot, and you can see, I hope, his head and shoulder, and his head is turned towards the camera, facing it. This was in the laundry room of the hotel, in the basement. Lots of ghosts and poltergeists are hanging out down there, because this area of the hotel was quite active during one of the World Wars, as an infirmary, among other things.


#4 This was taken in the ballroom of another Colorado Hotel, a very elegant one in Aspen, which is also very old. There is the head of a ghost showing behind the top row of chairs. Peek-a-boo!

#5 & #6 This room in the haunted hotel was visited by our group one night when some heavy breathing was heard inside as some group members were in the hallway. The room was locked, and no guests were staying in it at the time, so we had to get the security guard, Bob, a really cute young guy, to come and let us in. Nothing scares Bob anymore. Bob is fearless after so many years working in this hotel. He knows ghosts are there. However, I digress. When the room was entered, some people could hear breathing, very labored on the bed, but nothing was seen there in the dark. The lights were not turned on, because we didn't want to scare the ghost, ha-ha. So, the lights were left off, I was asked to come in, and I took several pictures of the bed. What shows, are dark striations on the bedspread where the spirit seems to be lying. Maids do not leave bedspreads wrinkled like this, nor would there be any reason for the very dark striations there. Note in the next photo, #6, the striations are in a different position on the bed than they were in #5, and now you can see, a white face on the wall in the background. I took these images back to back, no flash, but light was coming in the room from the hallway, since the door to the room was open.
