Paranormal Fail
'Paranormal' Photo Fails
Below are links to photographs that we feel are paranormal fails. Some of the photographs have been identified as paranormal--and even ghosts--by individuals and ghost hunters.
Do your research and don't be fooled by camera artifacts, hoaxes, fakes, frauds, and common environmental phenomena.
NOTE: If your photograph, blog, story, or Web site is referenced below, realize that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Try not to take things too personally.

Faces and FiguresDon't be fooled. This is not a photo of a ghost
looking in a window at an infamous haunted
New England inn.
Your brain has the wonderful ability to
make sense out of ambiguous visual
stimuli, but that doesn't make it a ghost.
Read T.A.P.S. Grant Wilson's excellent
article on this effect--known as matrixing.

Plasmaand ectoplasm
Some people call
these common
camera artifacts
plasma, super-charged
energy, or ectoplasm
and are identified as
paranormal phenomena.
Consider T.A.P.S. Steve Gonsalves words about 'ectoplasm':
"Try to stay away from words that may cast a negative shadow on our research...You'll find that if you use words like ectoplasm...people will have a harder time taking you seriously"
Below are links to several photographs of these types of anomalies that we feel are not supernatural. Many are smoke, condensation, lights, and/or effects that even an amateur photograph can create accidentally--or on purpose.

99.9% of orbs are
reflections, pollen, dust,
bugs, or other common
environmental stimuli.
