To orb or not to orb? That is the question.

There is much controversy about orbs and spirits, some believe and some do not.  Even in the paranormal community there is debate.  Personally, I take an objective view, realizing we know very little about most things.  I believe some "orbs" are dust and moisture, reflecting from a flash or light source.  I also believe some orbs are energy manifestations, being utilized by spirit to manifest, move, or communicate.

From personal experience over the years, I have seen and photographed both and there is a difference.

For example, when I sense spirit activity in the area and the hairs on my body stand up, or I hear a voice, or noises, even see shadows (or in our case our cats react to energy in the area)...I take a photo. 9 times out of 10 I capture energy.  I always take multiple photos in secession and the energy is in one and not in the other.  We pair our orb photos along with having paranormal phenomenon at the same time, such as physical sensations or experiences that motivate us to take pictures.

The photos posted are those that occurred in our flat in Italy.  Our flat was a very active place and this activity increased when we used different devices such as a white noise generator, ghost light tapping device and a ghost trap program, as well as EMF devices.  However, our most trusted ghost hunting equipment were our cats.  We had voice communication with a phonics device, that used our names on a regular basis, as well as saying cat often.

So, believe what you will...enjoy!

Orbs always around our oldest cat B-bug

She would get really excited in the basement of our building, which Dona did not like.  I however ventured down there nightly to capture phenomenon and B-bug always came with me.

Here are more photos from the flat.  When I, ely, was alone there...I would get touched and hear things.  One night I used my phonics device and the string of words stated, "Lay on lounge."  Mind you this area of Italy was home to tribes, Celts, Romans, and the list goes on.  Our flat was hundreds of years old, as the city itself was founded in the 2nd century.  In addition, it is on a water way...so energy is abound and as I have said before...energy is all around us.  One does not have to be in a haunted location to experience spirit energy.

One of our favorite things to do, no matter where we are...is to enjoy food and drink.  Italy is one of the best places on the planet for both!

Buon Appetito

 Cari amici del blog, spero che vi godiate le nostre avventure dei fantasmi in Italia!

Greetings readers!

Since it is too hot to ghost tramp in the Arizona desert right now, we decided to post a short video to introduce our Italian ghostly encounters.  Most of our images are through video, which includes abandoned places and oddities.  However, we did manage to capture some photographs of orbs which we will also post.

Enjoy the video and come back tomorrow for more!

Tombstone 5

Hi readers!

Here is the last installment of our Tombstone tramp.

When the weather cools down and fall finally rolls across the desert sands we hope to return to Tombstone and do an "official" ghost investigation of our own!  We can't wait.  At the end I will post a few ghost tour links if anyone is interested in planning a "ghostly" adventure in Tombstone, Arizona!

The spirit (s) of the Wild West is alive and well in Tombstone.  Tourism is the main draw to this dusty town and great effort is made when re-creating the "feel" of old Tombstone.  From the towns people dressed in 1880's clothing to the performance gun fights in the streets, Tombstone will take you back in time.  

Many of the original buildings still stand and the bullet holes in some places are still visible from the rougher, gun fighting days of the old west. 

  

We love to visit Tombstone and always stop by the Crystal Palace for a shot of honey whiskey and a game of pool.  

The Crystal Palace was originally the Golden Eagle Brewery Company built in 1879.  It was one of the early structures in Tombstone and one of the first saloons.  The saloon occupied a small area in the front and the brewery was in another structure to the rear.  Builder Benjamin Wehrfritz, expanded the building and added a second story to house the offices of U. S. Deputy Marshal Virgil Earp.

Two fires swept through Tombstone.  One in 1881 and one in 1882.  The second fire destroyed many buildings including the Brewery and the O. K. Corral.  

The only thing left of the O. K. Corral was the sign.

  

However, being the town "too tough to die" Tombstone was rebuilt.  This included rebuilding the brewery building which then became the Crystal Palace Saloon.

The Palace over the years...

 

You can eat, drink and be western at the Crystal Palace.  They also have live entertainment.  What's not to enjoy.

Here are some photos from around Tombstone.  There is so much to see and so much history it would take a book.  In fact, there are many books on the subject.  

This cowboy followed us all day!

Tombstone, the town that allows you to step back in time...even if you only have fingers for guns! lol

And don't forget to get a vintage photo taken! Great fun!
