Snow creates orbs. That’s not news, but I wanted to experiment with snow effects for my upcoming book, Ghost Photography 101*.
In general, snow seems to add so many anomalies — and different kinds of anomalies — I’d have to discount all of them in investigation photos.

In recent months, many people have asked us about The Myrtles Plantation.

Some people thought that I’d organized the event. I didn’t. The event was managed by the Essex County Ghost Project, and supported by the Pelham [...]
