Spooks

Strange, how beliefs can change. I never believed in spirits, ghosts, spooks, all that sort of nonsense. Until recently I experienced it firsthand. I could relate literally dozens of stories that very close and personal friends whom I literally would trust with my life - people who are highly intelligent and respected by high ranking people. Not just some anybody, you know? I dunno, I guess I just want to say that real people believe these things, have experienced amazing and otherwise unexplainable things. I don't want this all to seem the realm of weirdos and crackpipes.
Anyway, a family friend in the realty business owns a house that he's remodeling. I went with my mom, his dad and sister to visit. They asked that I bring my digital camera with me. Apparently, the house is well known for having spirits in it and a guy not too long ago had unexpectedly dropped by and took some pictures in the basement. When he printed the pics, white and colored orbs appeared, always in different places. So they wanted me to come and see if I could replicate what happened. I didn't expect anything to happen. In fact, when we were all in the basement, we didn't see or feel anything at all. I thought it was all just a waste of time. Now I printed off quite a few pictures - many had nothing, some had something. Interesting enough, I took at least two pictures of each spot - so you can tell that it's not something defective with the camera - the orbs moved. It's such a weird feeling... to see my pictures. The pictures I've posted here have only been lightened up a little so that the orbs are a little clearer. I just want to make that very clear because I'm always skeptical of pictures like this. I own Photoshop CS - I know very well how easy it is to fake pictures. Anyway... I guess I'm just posting this because I don't want this topic to be seen as hoaxy. There's something to it, and it's worth looking into. Everybody's heading back to the house middle of next month to meet with a psychic. The owner of the house and a few others have met with her before. Long story short - I have absolutely no reason to doubt. I look forward to hearing what she has to say.
