BOSTON ORBS

During a trip to Boston we went on Ghost and Gravestone tour and one of my many pictures had a fair amount of orbs.  First time we had taken a ghost tour on a trolley and we really enjoyed it.  The tour guides dressed up and were very entertaining and informative.  We loved the historical cemeteries!

NEW ORLEANS ORBS

Just returned from four days in my favorite city, New Orleans.  Of course we went on a ghost tour.  Haunted History Tours claims to be recommended by the Travel Channel and had good reviews on Trip Advisor so that was the one we chose.  The tour lasts almost two hours and I think we covered the major haunted spots in the French quarter and in addition learned where Nicolas Cage used to live in the most haunted house there.  Unfortunately he did not pay his income taxes for a couple of years and the I.R.S. became the proud owners of that property.  Not sure who owns it now.  Brad and Angelina also have a home there and I'm sure there are a few more celebrities who have homes in New Orleans.

The best orb photo I took was at what was once an orphanage.  Can't remember much more than that except that our tour guide did say that sometimes the cross on the building didn't show up in photos.  The cross isn't that big so it's probably something to do with lighting.  The cross was always visible in my photos, but I was more impressed with my twin orbs.

Some orbs are a little difficult to see and I found I needed to adjust my screen some to see them better.

 

 

 

I took this photo before the one above and you can make out the two orbs closer together and about the center of the photo.

 

Large orb to the right center and notice the smaller orb down by the hood of the silver car.  Others are up in the sky.

 

 

We noticed that we usually had more luck getting pictures of orbs when we included the sky!

 

 

The next two photos were taken in an alley by Jackson Square.  I believe I got a picture of the same orb that is on the top to the left.

It's just a little bigger in this photo and almost in the exact position so it could be coming closer.  The next few photos I took didn't catch it.

This photo was taken while we were touring the Cathedral in Jackson Square.  I wasn't trying to get any pictures of orbs so I was surprised to see one at the top of the door to the confessional.  Also there is a larger one above that at the top of the photo.

 

HAUNTED ATCHISON, KANSAS AND GALLERY WITH TRACI BRAY

A couple of weeks ago I drove to Kansas City for a weekend with several of my good friends.  The highlight of our weekend (besides just being together) was another visit to Atchison, Kansas.  Atchison's claim to fame is mainly from being the birthplace of Emilia Earhart. In recent years, however, Atchison has now become a destination for those interested in the paranormal.  It is the home of the Sally House, a house purportedly haunted by a little girl named Sally.  The Sally House has been shown on shows about hauntings which has resulted in a paranormal industry of sorts in Atchison.  Every October there are daily trolley tours around town to all haunted homes, some of which offer private tours.  Our first year to visit there we went on the trolley tour and found it very entertaining. Of course there are mediums (whose time slots fill up quickly) and a spirit fair (which we missed).

If you like to take pictures of orbs, then Atchison is a great place to go.  On the trolley tour we took photos of all the haunted homes, including the Sally house, and found numerous orbs in our pictures.
We even had a huge orb in our group photo after dinner at Paolucci's. (Very good Italian.) Actually it was the biggest orb we captured all evening.

                                        As far as I can tell the orb is behind the post.

                            Typical Atchison haunted house with orbs.

This year we skipped the trolley tour and went to a gallery on Saturday night which also included a dinner.  Not a bad deal for $45!  As it turned out the medium giving the gallery, Traci Bray,  was the same one I had made an appointment with the next day.  This gallery had about 60 people attending and the late husband my friend Karen came through.  Not surprisingly Karen went almost totally blank when Traci was talking to her.  Traci asked about a ferret and Karen had no clue what she could have been talking about.  After the gallery was over she remembered that her daughter did have a pet ferret at one time.  Traci had stated there was something significant about the end of Dec - first of Jan time frame and once again Karen had no clue.  Later when we were discussing the reading I asked her when she and Dave were married.  It was Jan 2.  I don't think this type of amnesia is unusual at readings (of course I've seen this when watching John Edward!).

At one point Traci described someone on a motorcycle who seemed to fall in slow motion.  This did not seem to fit for anyone since the room was silent and she went on to another spirit.  After the gallery was over did I remember a drunk I had literally helped pull a motorcycle off of who had fallen at a stop light.  He was an older man in his 60's and he actually got back on his bike and tried to ride away - but only managed to roll a few feet before he slowly fell to the side and was back on the street with his bike on him once again.  He died the day before I had to testify at his hearing and I couldn't help but wonder if maybe that was him. Not sure I would want to hear what he had to say!
