Ghosts - 2

In her book Ghost Worlds, Melba Goodwyn writes extensively about the importance of the often overlooked orb. She also describes three distinct types of orbs that are all well known to ghost hunters: the ghost orb, the spirit orb, and the oracle orb. All three types are present in the pictures below. These are just four of dozens that I took on a ghost hunting expedition last October at World Harvest Church in Enid. After studying the findings and comparing them with what authors such as Goodwyn have written, it is entirely possible that the building is the locale of a portal, a "thin place" where entities from another dimension pass through into our three dimensional world. Nearly all these photos were shot in the darkness without any lights other than the flash of the camera itself. I took dozens of photographs on every floor of the building and there were orbs in no less than 90% of them. This is quite striking because over the years I have taken thousands of photos with this camera and the only place I've ever photographed an orb was at this church.

Along with the photographs, there was EVP work done as well as eyewitness accounts of unexplained movements and the daily audible footsteps in the hall and sanctuary when no one else was in the building.

A storm of orbs manifesting for the camera.

A very interesting and brightly self-luminescent orb hiding behind some boards on the right side of the picture.

Several orbs of different types following the ghost hunters down the stairs.

My favorite. Matt is doing EVP work and looking straight at a bright ascending orb.

There are a lot of strange things that have happened in this building (which was once a mercantile and then later the Gaslight Theater) and there are many strange things happening now in the lives of people associated with the current occupants. It would be interesting to know if there are some particular actions or practices which are drawing many of the spiritual manifestations that have occurred and are continuing to occur.
