This a photo taken at the old Mansfield Reformatory. Notice the strange mist to the left side of the picture. This is said to be spirit energy attempting to manifest. This picture won a prize at the old prison for a paranormal photo contest.

This photo was taken a building in Newark, Ohio that use to be an old orphanage and then a rest home. There is a marker behind the building in memory of the children that died at the orphanage. This place was very active with voices, cold spots, items turning on by themselves, ect. I included this picture not for the "orbs", but for the strange item in motion in the lower center. It was not due to camera movement due to the lack of movement of the rest of the picture.

This is also a picture behind the old orphanage. Notice the red "energy streak" going through the center of the picture. This is believed to be a sign of paranormal activity although it was been questioned by many as legitimate proof of paranormal activity. I can tell you that I am a part-time photographer on top of my full-time job and I have used many different film and digital cameras along with many different processing methods and still have a hard time explaining this phenomenon

This again is the old orphanage in the attic of the building. Notice again the red "energy streak" in the middle of the picture.

This picture is of a building known as the Woodrow Mansion outside of Cambridge, Ohio. The mist swirling around this picture is one that I can not explain. I would normally dismiss this photo as breath or smoke. However, the night we were there , the average temperature was 68 F. which would not be cold enough to show breath. Also, it was only myself and the other co-founder Michelle and we do not smoke. We had also heard foot steps from the upper floors and had captured two evps from this location.

The photo below is from the Jennie Wade house in Gettysburg, PA. It was taken in the cellar by our co-founder Michelle which is the same location where Jennie Wades body was taken after she was killed. She was the only cilvian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg. She was killed in her home by a stray bullet in the kitchen while she helped bake bread for the soldiers.

This picture was taken on the second floor of the Stone Academy in Zanesville, Ohio. It is taken in an area that was know at one time to be the servants quarters. If you look at the right hand side of the window in the circled area can see what appears to be the figure of a man standing in the window. At first, the picture was dismissed as possibly being the person taking the picture. However, if that was true, why is there no camera in front of their face and no hands or arms raised to take the picture. Also, the person taking the picture was a female investigator and there was no one else standing near her at the time this was taken.

Close up of the same picture above.

These next two pictures come from an investigation of a private residence in Nelsonville, Ohio. The claims in the home had the majority of the activity taking place in the oldest daughters bedroom and the son's bedroom that was next to the daughters room. We had set up to do an EVP session in the son's room while I stayed in the doorway to the daughters bedroom to watch the laser grid we had set up. During the EVP session, he members brought up the question of witchcraft and if it was ever practiced in the home. At that time I began to get the feeling of being choked. I could feel as if there were a set of hands around my neck closing my airway. I pulled my cross out that I always wear and began reciting the Lord's Prayer and trying to mentally push what ever was effecting me away. The feeling slowly let up and I quickly took this picture of myself to see what would come out. You can see the marks around my neck as if something had been pressing my neck. It was checked later in the night to see if the marks were still there or maybe caused by my t-shirt, but they were no longer there. it has also been checked on later investigations to see if they were caused by the shirt and they have never appeared again.
Shortly after I was able to push what able was affecting me away, I heard a commotion coming from the next room where the other members were doing the EVP session. Our other co-founder-Michelle came running out of the room upset by something. She said that it felt as if something came up from behind her and scratched her neck as it ran by. The fact was she had been sitting with her back to the wall of the room I was in. They also had no idea what had happened to me because I had not said anything and wanted to continue with the session to see what else would happen. You can see the scratches on Michelle's neck below.

This "attack" happened to one of our male investigators the old Licking County Jail, in Newark, Ohio. We had been investigating the 3rd floor of the jail with two investigator at one end of the cell block and two investigators at the other end of the cell block. About a half hour into the session one of the investigators stated that he thought he had been scratched and the other investigator with him turned his flash flight on and confirmed the scratch. The other two investigators came from the other end and were also able to confirm and photograph the scratch. The one weird thing was that three of the four investigators in this session work as corrections officers in real life. The only one that was scratched was the one investigator that was not a corrections officer.
