Gettysburg’s Ghosts

As promised, I’ve finally located some of my more interesting photos of my trips to Gettysburg.  A little background information – I go on lots of ghost tours, mainly throughout the north-east and mid-Atlantic states.  I’ve never had the kinds of problems that I do with my camera equipment anywhere except in Gettysburg.  I use 2-3 different cameras, usually one Canon 35mm and several digital cameras, primarily an Olympus.  I’m one of those people that carries lots of extra film and batteries, so I’m pretty much prepared for anything.

On my latest trip to Gettysburg, my 35mm did some really weird things on the trolley tour.  It started taking photos by itself while we were walking through the campus area.  Particularly in front of what was the hospital (it is now the administration building).  I wear my camera around my neck when walking around, and I have to admit, when it started snapping away, I was a little surprised to say the least, as were other people in my group.

At any rate, I always get some interesting photos, mainly of light streaks in various colors.  In one particular photo on the trolley, it looks as if there is a green face hovering in the window.  I’ll leave it up to those viewing the pictures as to what they see.  Personally, I’d just like to get some photos without all of the orbs and lights zipping through my photos!

You can view some of these photos from one of my visits to Gettysburg on my website: Gettysburg Ghost Pictures

Here are a few from my most recent visit (shown in the order they were taken). Click on the link to view each photo:

Haunted Camera

Gettysburg Campus Admin Bldg – I don’t know what the black shadow is on this photo of the Admin Bldg (formerly the hospital during the civil war).  There weren’t any objects around me, or other people since I’d gone over by myself to take this photo.  It isn’t my hand either, since it would have been snapping the photo, not in front of the lens, and I have long nails.  If this is a hand, I don’t know who it belongs to!

If anyone else has had this problem with the crazy lights in the photos, drop me a line.  I’d be interested in knowing what kind of camera was being used at the time and where the photos were taken.  You can also submit photos to me on my website, ghosts4you.com.
