Northampton State Hospital Ghost Photo

The first time I ever stepped foot in an abandoned asylum, I was in the tunnels of Northampton State Hospital, a building that would quickly become one of my favorites. I took this photo with my friend standing behind me taking the same photo at the same time. This is mine, hers came out perfectly clear.

I want you to take a look at what I found...I sure others will find more but these four things is what caught my attention the most.
Take a look at #1, #2, #3...moving orbs but all following in the same pattern.
Then take a real good look at #4...now this is really freaky...notice the face looking right at you...it's a male and he seems to have been gagged...a bed sheet tied in his mouth to keep him from talking. It appears to me that he died this way. Can you see him clearly?
Than the face/image comin gup out of the ground...older man, long pointy nose.; ▶ Reply to This

But I definitely see the face, without a doubt. Though I have to say, even after taking this shot, I wound up exploring the rest of the tunnel on my own because everyone else was lagging behind!; ▶ Reply to This

Kate, I looked at the picture again and found more in it. This picture has so much in it. I really feel bad that it was torn down or whatever happened to it. I think anything they build on that property there will be paranormal activity. Here is what I found, now you may feel that it is matrixing but I really do not think so. Click on to the picture once it is loaded and it will enlarge. There are more I did not mark.

There is no valid explanation for the dark streaks and what looks like light beams traveling diagonally. The blurriness and orbs seem to just add to the weirdness... :C); ▶ Reply to This

Most of the time with digital photography you can explain away orbs and light streaks but I was standing in front of an open window, no dust, not breathing...and yet this is what my camera saw. My friend's camera like I said, nothing! The picture was perfectly clear.; ▶ Reply to This

I have looked at your website, and the pictures are awesome, great work!; ▶ Reply to This
