A Photo A Day For 6 Months: Day 69~ Here Ghostie, Ghostie, Ghostie



"An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself."


~Charles Dickens


And the Fibromyalgia pain continues. So, tonight I thought it would be fun to just sharing a little about what is probably the strangest item on my Bucket List, my desire to see a ghost one day, better yet, to actually photograph a ghost. Yep. A ghost.


Why a ghost?


Well, why not a ghost?


It's not to become famous, although why photograph a ghost and then not share it with the world? On the other hand, if I did manage to capture a specter, I would also be very tempted to keep it to myself. I think that would be a rather personal and profound thing. I would be a little caught up in what the ghost thought of me. Did the ghost connect with me on some level? Did the ghost like me. Hate me? Did the ghost appear to anyone who sought it out? There are some questions above and beyond the immediate. I think that good ghost or bad ghost, the entity deserves respect. People, live people that is, rarely seem to put much thought into what comes after the sighting.


I have seen some things in my 50 years. Not all of which I can fully explain. I do know, however, there is a certain responsibility to things beyond this life. Respect should always be the first step. After I am gone, if I do end up being earthbound, I don't want to be one of those cheesy... "GET OUT"... ghosts. I want to be a... HI LIVE PERSON, SIT DOWN AND I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT. "It" being whatever they want to ask me. LOL. Call it the top item on my After Life Bucket List. Of course if my sense of humor follows me into the beyond, I could also see myself as a prankster. I would probably mess with the ghost hunters by wispering something stupid like... SARAH PALIN SUCKS MOOSE ANTLERS. LOL. Can you imagine?


Ghostie Me: Sarah Palin Sucks Moose Antlers.


Ghostie Hunter: Ohh.. The spirit seems to be saying... Sarah Palin Suck Moose Antlers?

Ghostie Hunter: Clearly what we have here is an Intelligent haunting!


Ohh... how about... MacArthur Park Is Melting In The Dark (Worst Song Ever)


You gotta admit... it would leave them guessing. LOL


When I leave this current existence I have here, I would like to be cremated and my "remains" GOD I HATE THAT WORD... "Remains" put into a strong ziploc bag and sewn up into a teddy bear. Alan thinks that creepy, but who hasn't wanted to be a teddy bear... now I ask you?


Yes... I would like to see a ghost. Probably. Well... I mean... sure. Right?


Hmmm...

 

So how about you? Anyone wanna go ghost hunting? And what about orbs? Personally, I don't buy it. Dust. It's dust I tells ya!


Opinions Please.

Round Robin Challenge: Shadowland


From ghoulies, and ghosties,
And long-legged beasties,
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord deliver us.

-Scottish Prayer

Day 2 of my 13 Diabetic Days of Halloween

Do you see the "ghost" in the picture above? Booooooo. :) I love the challenge, Vicki, author of the blog, "Maraca" submitted for this time around, "Shadowland." The spirit of the challenge was to seek out and find out favorite ghostly shadows and spooky goings on, and even photograph a spirit if possible. I would love to get a group together to try some spirit photography. I have had some rather profoundly spooky occurrences take place in my life, beginning when I was a small child. I believe there is something beyond this earthly realm, and I believe in the spirit world, so you can imagine how much fun I have this time of year. :) I love it. So, feeling inspired, I set out the meet the challenge, and here is what I found...

The "Ghost Tree" which can be found on the 17 Mile Drive, in Monterey, California. It is called "Ghost Tree" because over time it has been bleached white by the sun and surf on the shoreline. It is absolutely beautiful... you should see it sometime!

Silver Terrace Cemetery, Virginia City, Nevada

A reputedly haunted cemetery in Virginia City, Nevada. There is a long standing legend that mysterious shadow people, and ghost lights can be seen walking through the cemetery grounds after dark. I am planning a trip to Nevada next week, and this cemetery in on my list of haunts. Will I capture a ghost with my camera?

The view of San Francisco, from the Berkeley hills, as a ghostly October fog shrouds the city.

Mr. Happy Spirit, just hanging around.

A Ghoulish couple on their wedding day. Hmmm... Could it be Alan and Me in the photograph?

The famously haunted, Moss Beach Distillery. A local landmark, which has been rumored to be haunted by the ghost of the "Blue Lady," since the days of Prohibition. The legend of the haunting has been featured on, "Unsolved Mysteries," Dead Famous," and "Haunted Travels" on the Travel Channel.

Here is a close up of the window. Could the "Blue Lady" be looking back at us? Look closely...do you see her?

Now, be sure to visit all the Robins, to see their shadowland entries. Just follow the links below... but be careful... I hear spirits are roaming the land! Bwhahaha!
