A little about me: I've been photographing allegedly haunted places and abandoned houses, buildings etc, since April 2009 when my husband first got me into it. I would go and explore places that were supposed to be haunted and would take note as to where they were but that was it. He told me I should take pictures so that's what I started doing. I developed an avid interest in all things haunted and abandoned after I was in a major three car accident and finally started taking pictures of them. I started with mostly places in upper Greenville County SC and a few around Western North Carolina, Hendersonville and Edneyville NC but didn't find near as many in NC as SC so I stuck to that. Over time I started exploring many more places in SC eventually leading into Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia(in fact, VA is one of my favorite places to visit) and Kentucky. When I get to I go to Michigan(I so love the Great Lakes) In fact, I lived there for awhile. Wilmington NC is another favorite place to visit.
I'm from Florida originally so I have to include FL on that list. My favorite place there is the Everglades.
Some of the best supposedly haunted(creepy) places to visit in SC are the Spartanburg Tan Yards, the site of the old TB Hospital, the old buncombe baby cemetery(Hickory Point baby graveyard) in Greenville SC, Hester's Store in Easley SC(I've heard it's going to be torn down), Campbell's Covered Bridge, New Salem Baptist Church Cemetery(been there a number of times) and in NC the Spencer Mtn Mansion in Charlotte NC(it is completely boarded up and impossible to gain entry, Helen's Bridge in Asheville NC, Lincoln Academy in Gastonia NC(the site where Kathleen Smiley was raped, tortured and murdered and Bearwallow Mountain in Hendersonville NC. Along the way, I've found a few abandoned houses that were quite eerie and foreboding.
My interest in psychics, the afterlife, witchcraft, ghosts, the paranormal, etc., became much more pronounced after my second car accident. Over time my love of photography has led into taking pictures of nature, vintage items, classic cars, old house interiors(when I can trespass safely) and almost anything I think will take a good photograph,
I'm a wife, amateur photographer, urban explorer and legendhunter. By that I mean I hunt legends, not ghosts. I'm also an entrepreneur, property manager(and renovation manager), PT truck driver and travel frequently with my job. When I get the time I sell on auction sites as well. Blogging, photography and writing are my passions. Oh yeah and movies. I love movies and reading when I can.

Peace and blessings be with you.......

Old Buildings Lattimore NC 162a

 
These are from a visit to Lattimore quite some time ago. In fact, I wanted to go today and photograph an old house there. I've been meaning to for quite some time, ever since I got my new camera. Didn't get the chance though. There are some cool old buildings here.


 
This was probably a business of some type a long time ago, maybe a newspaper.

Strange Photo

 
 
This very strange photo was taken by Eastern Paranormal Society and he sent me the photo on facebook and asked what I thought and wanted me to share it.
I'm very interested in what others think of this photo. Not what you see. After looking at all the comments on facebook it's pretty apparent what everyone sees. One woman thought there was a demon in the picture. I don't see that at all. I want to know what others think.
Being a skeptic I always go for the most rational explanation before declaring it must be something haunted. The picture was taken in one of the oldest houses in Buffalo NY during an investigation that the team was conducting.
 Awhile back while visiting a cemetery I took pictures with multiple orbs in them. My first reaction is that it must have been dust spots on the camera lens that created the photos I took but I don't know. That particular camera is very light sensitive and I can't rely on anything strange that comes out of it. Of course some cameras may be more sensitive to paranormal anomalies than others.
My husband swears the photo has been photoshopped. I don't use photo shop so I have no experience with it. And am not so sure.
 
Anyway, very interesting photo and would love to know what others think of it.
