A REAL Ghost Story

The weekend before Halloween, Kurt and I decided to go to Salem for a date. We took a candle light tour, which we've both always wanted to do.

The guide took us on a tour of all the haunted places in downtown Salem. It was really interesting. Here's a shot of the graveyard where a ton of people swear they see and hear ghosts all the time. The guide told us to take a picture b/c people see ghosts on their film all the time. I was like, "Yeah right," but I took the picture anyway.

This next shot is what has now been infamously dubbed, "THE PICTURE" by Kurt and I. The picture is of a restaurant that was built on top of what used to be Bridget Bishop's orchard (she was one of the first people killed in the witch trials). The guide told us that this site is notoriously active in supernatural events. She said just recently, the Discovery Channel tried to film something for one of their programs (one on haunted houses or something), but they had tons of technical difficulties. Yeah, yeah, whatever, lady! That's what I said until I took this:

I thought at first that it was rain or something, but it wasn't raining. I quickly took another picture which turned out like this.

I showed the guide and she told me it was ectoplasm. I had captured a ghost on film! Me, the unbeliever! Say what you will, but I think it was Bridget Bishop trying to tell me to stop taking pictures of her property! :) Isn't it crazy? I have been talking about THE PICTURE ever since I took it. I think I might try to sell it. :)
