Hello all: Yes, I know I haven't posted in a long time, stuff happens, what can I say? But we're back on the road again and spent a jolly night digging up ghost stories in the celebrated haunted town of Savannah, Georgia; a most beautiful city, by the way. While out and about with my Sis-In-Law Deb, we were directed to a few particularly haunted homes in the downtown Historic District, and these pictures I took show several orbs hovering around and above the homes.
This house above is a particularly haunted home, said to be the most haunted in Savannah. There were several grisly murders there and the house has remained unoccupied since then, in the 1950's. That bright moon-looking object up at the right is not the moon, and is invisible to the naked eye, so what is it?
What are they? Some believe they are the physical manifestation of spirit energy, another words ghosts, and some believe it's a dirty camera lens. But . . .
. . . using the same camera a minute later on a different home that wasn't purported to be haunted, no orbs show up. All I did was make a quarter turn and took the picture of a home very near. Nothing. Hmmm. I got some interesting shots of orbs at the most haunted locations, so it makes me think that some kind of energy is engulfing these homes, and I find my change in opinion about orbs interesting as well. I was always in favor of the dirty lens theory or dust particles showing up on the photograph. Except how do you hold onto the idea of a dust particle when there are orbs the size of these in the following pics . . .
We stopped by 'The Pirate's House' which was built in the 1730's!!! This eating establishment is not to be missed if you're ever in Savannah, if for no other reason than the amazing history there, including its claim to be the inspiration for Stevenson's classic 'Treasure Island' and its Captain Flint, who was a very real patron there. Robert Louis Stevenson spent a fortnight in the area and decided to stay a very long time, as the locals say, to write his book. While we were there we got more orbs in our photos. So as you would conclude; yes, this place is very haunted as well!
Spotting orbs in my photos isn't at the top of my weird-o-meter list compared to what else I've seen and experienced, but it did put a nice capper on an already fantastic evening. Please at some point in your life make the effort to give Savannah a few days of your time. You won't be disappointed! Later, all.
