Deathbed Ghost: These photographs are from the Historic Worley Bed and Breakfast Inn in Dahlonega, Georgia. According to the Inn’s Marketing Consultant, a professional photographer was hired to take pictures of the building in 1999. 

Afterward, the photos were stored away for four years. In 2003, while perusing the images for their website, they saw a bedroom picture with a blur, and assumed it was simply a photographic flaw. But then someone noticed a ghostly figure lying on the bed within the haze. The Inn believes this is the ghost of Claude Worley, a teenager who died in the house in the late 1800s after being hit by a train.

A ghost-like anomaly appears above two people looking at a photo album of family members.

“Took this picture with my cell phone. Took another immediately after and it was gone. My wife and family friend were looking at photo’s of his children. Maybe his deceased dad wanting to take a look?” – mtchbx123 (Source)

She says she’s experienced some strange and frightening paranormal activity. She hears voices, noises in the closets and door knobs jiggling in her northeast Ohio home. She claims the proof is in a photo taken by her son a few years ago.

When Hector Siliezar visited the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza with his wife and kids in 2009, he snapped three iPhone photos of El Castillo, a pyramid that once served as a sacred temple to the Mayan god Kukulkan. A thunderstorm was brewing near the temple, and Siliezar was trying to capture lightning crackling dramatically over the ruins. In the 3rd photo, a powerful beam of light appears to shoot up from the pyramid. Siliezar, who recently shared his photographs with occult investigators said that he and his family didn’t see the light beam in person. It appeared only on camera.

The Girl Who Wasn’t There

Excerpt of original article by Kathy Gearing which appeared in the Spring 2006 Newsletter. The photograph was provided by Lee Moynes and taken by his friend Joan.

This photograph was taken on a wet, drizzly day on Dartmoor on the 14th June 2002. The photographer had been sitting in the car watching the ponies with her partner and decided to take a picture of them before they went home. They were totally baffled when they saw the little girl who appears to be petting the pony, as they are absolutely sure there was nobody else around at the time. Joan says, “the little girl was not wearing appropriate clothing for that cold, wet day and she was “brighter” than she would have been in the flesh – so to speak”. It does seem very unlikely that a young girl would be out on Dartmoor, miles from anywhere on her own.  Joan adds, “also those ponies do not stand still to let anyone touch them. The only person we saw, apart from the cars which drove by, was a man driving a tractor coming off the moor to get on to the road”.
