What do you think?

I have always believed in the super-natural or paranormal. Spirits, ghosts whatever you want to call them. I have always enjoyed scaring myself with places being haunted. Also, I just find it fascinating. Though up until a few years ago I never experienced anything like that personally. Besides the time myself, younger sister and our next door neighbor held a séance in the garage and tried to contact someone who had just died. A few minutes into it the Christmas tree box which was clear across the room at least 20 feet away fell over from where it had been propped in the corner. We all panicked and ran screaming upstairs and my sister was so scared she peed herself, literally. But, to be fair I was only 12 at the time and had no idea what I was doing or how serious it really is. I wasn't raised in a religious home by any means and it just wasn't something that was ever talked about. I don't think it's something you should tamper with or take lightly. That same summer our very religious 70 year old baby sitter found our Ouiji Board in the closet and convinced my Mom to throw it is the trash. I really don't think kids should play with them at all. They aren't a toy. Although I think you can fake it and just get the answers you want. I believe they can potentially bring in evil spirits. I now would consider it a form of divination.

Nearly 10 years ago my Grandpa passed away. He was a really amazing person, very kind and gentle a true gentleman, and also was like my hero. My sister and I would spend whole weekends at my Grandparents house and saw them at least once every week until he was sick. He was diagnosed with throat cancer and passed away after a brave fight at the age of 79. Just days before my 15th Birthday. It was the first time I ever experienced the loss of someone close to me.

Throughout the years after his death when things would get really bad or I would be going through a difficult time or struggling with something I would talk to him, pray to him, whatever you want to call it. He was always a man of few words but was always so stoic and incredibly supportive and comforting to me when he was alive. It just seemed like the thing to do. I started noticing after doing this, he would give me little signs, that he was with me. Things of his would show up randomly, I would find little things in odd places, things that had belonged to him that I had forgotten about. Or, things he had given me would end up in odd places, right in front of my face. One time after Josh and I had been in a big fight and he ended up on the couch for the night, he woke me up early, talking about a dream he had the night before. "Your Grandpa was in it, it's like he was right here." He said. "He laughed and said when you get mad you act just like your Grandma." Josh was even able to describe his voice, which really brought me to tears. Because Josh had never met him, and also my Grandpa had a laryngectomy, which is a surgery that removes your voice box. He had it done about a year before he passed away and the only way for him to talk was to whisper or use a electrolarynx, which was a little A battery-operated device that makes a humming sound. I guess, I consider it a gift, Josh had that experience and did if only for a moment get to meet someone who was so important in my life, especially as a little girl.

I do believe in angels, people who come into our lives to guide and protect us. And I absolutely believe people we love who have passed on are still with us and can communicate with us at times.

Onto the point of all this.... I was going through some pictures of our wedding a couple months ago, just looking through for fun when I noticed one where a HUGE transparent orb of light is right above me. I showed it to Josh and he didn't think much of it. Then about a month later my Mom gave me a few pictures from the wedding I'd never seen that her husband had taken. Same EXACT shot with a cheap disposable camera and the same huge bubble like orb right over my head. I was really amazed. I also noticed another orb completing surrounding my sister in two of the wedding pictures our photographer took. I've looked at those pictures dozens of times, I was shocked I had never seen them before.

A month ago, things were not looking so good, I said "Are you still with me.. I'm sure you know what's going on. I love you, I need to know your still around." This is what I saw the next day. Look at the chair.


This was taken the same day. Look surrounding Jack at the right. The beautiful golden light and transparency is the exact same look and color of the orbs in my wedding pictures. I was also playing around with the shutter speed on my camera that day so these were taken at a really high speed.


I know it's debatable. It could just be dust, or light, or anything. There is noway to know for sure. But, I'd like to think it's him.

  1. I think that this post is great Em...I think that your pics are genuine. I think that the chair explains a lot...have any of the kids ever talked about a ghost or anything like that? Kids have kind of a sixth sense like that...their minds are unclouded.
