Cemetery Ghost, Interesting. Lots of Pics

[Jason Hawes]

A ghostly figure, I believe is in this picture. Before you can truly understand what I see, you must hear the story of the cemetery where the cemetery lies. This is the Moonville Cemetery in Ohio (Yes, it appears there are interesting spots in Ohio, but out of my reach.) The town of Moonville is in Vinton County, Ohio. It is in a rural portion of the county. It was a great town in its day, but is now a GhostTown, one of the many I managed to find in rural Ohio. Moonville has a history that is beyond measure. There is a tunnel that leads into town. It was a mining town completed by the railway that accompanied it traveling from Marietta in Southeastern Ohio, to Cincinatti in the Southwest. One day a brakesman was caught on the railroad tracks and ran over. The train ground one of his legs, which I believed I noticed in the apparition. The man's death ended Moonville forever. I believe he still walks this earth because he feels guilty for being a drunk and ending the life of his hometown.


Here is the picture when I hadn't pointed out the apparition. Clearly you can see the center of the picture is where it is. The apparition is seemingly hovering above a grave, not sure if it is his or not.






There is an interesting point about this picture. One is, it is in the evening, not yet dark, which I find incredible since most apparitions occur at night, very late. This next picture was when I pointed out the apparition in the yellow box.




Furthermore, I have another pic that I thought was also of interest. it appears to be a normal orb, but with things coming off of it. Impossible to be dust.






Now this next one is truly intriguing... This one, if you have managed to not realize something in the other pictures. I was astonished at this. This includes a ghostly fog and many orbs. Here you can see the Moonville Tunnel in the backround, and can tell it is nighttime.








It appears this cemetery is alive and kicking day and night. The spirits here I suspect don't care for night or day to show themselves. I think this is possibly vacation-worthy. Maybe sometime I can find myself in Vinton County to see what is up. From what I have seen, this is a quiet cemetery that shows no fear in showing its paranormal potential. Very likely the most interesting thing in Ohio I have read about.

That may look like mist in there but it's not, it is actually the person that took the camera's breath. However, the creepy thing is the last picture, that is not breath.

I enlarged the last pic for detail, that's why it's so big. By the way, nothing was wrong with the camera and this was an ordinary day. I counted 6-8 orbs.

Jason,

Interesting pictures, but I think they are all explainable. The first picture where you say you see the apparition hovering above a grave site, all I see is trees. If you look at them long enough you can actually make out a shape or form, and yes, even a person. I think this is matrixing.

The second picture that shows what looks like a blurry form, looks to me to be a bug or bird in flight. It's movement is blurred, I believe due to shutter speed. Looks cool, but nothing paranormal.

The last picture with the orbs (ARRGGHH!), sorry to burst the bubble, but this is either dust particles, bugs, or moister in the air. I would say it is moister since you can see the breath of the picture taker.

I know you probably hate my analysis, but I have to look at pictures all day long and this is what my experience tells me. No doubt interesting, but not paranormal in nature.

I meant to add another observation. Any good picture of any paranormal activity that is captured does not need a narrative to explain what the viewer is looking at. The evidence should be good enough to stand on its own. A better introduction would have been, "Interesting photos captured in Moonville, Ohio. What do you think?"

Peer review is a must, but it must be constuctive criticism.

I have to agree with Buck - the first two are interesting, but I would need to have at least one (if not two) pics of the same location that would prove to me that this is not matrixing before I would consider considering it.

I would have to say that the third picture is probably an insect about 2 inches from the camera lens (I would also give consideration to the bird option.) The blur may be paranormal, but I would need considerably more back-up evidence.

The final picture is a face-value "WOW", but considering the location, I believe that both the mist and the orbs are likely environmental. (Tunnels have a tendency to create masses of cooler moist air, that often show up on camera as orbs and mist.)

I can't say out of hand that these are definitely not paranormal, but I also don't believe that any of them are particularly compelling either.
