This is our photographer’s report from a second visit to Blood Cemetery (aka Pine Hill Cemetery) just before dusk on Sunday, 17 Oct 1999.

According to ghosthunting tradition, the more time you spend in a “haunted” location, the more likely it is that you’ll go home with ghost photos. These generally include “ghost orbs,” but sometimes other haunted images show up in ghosthunters’ photos.

This was my second visit to Blood Cemetery during one day. These photos were taken with a 35mm film camera. I was taking “ghost pictures” near Abel Blood’s famous headstone and around the Farley family graves.

About 30 seconds after taking the photo shown above, a possible ghost orb appeared in the next photo. It’s at the far left of the photo, near the top.

That white orb-shape is too small to be a fingerprint of someone at the photo lab, and the negative had no marks on it.

There were no insects flying on that chilly night. There was nothing to reflect light at my lens. Among 24 photos taken that evening, this was the only photo with an orb.

However, after reviewing this photo several years (and several thousand photos) later, I think that an out-of-season, disoriented bug flew past me. Orbs are generally perfectly round. When one isn’t, it’s usually caused by a bug, pollen, or dust.

Nevertheless, the moment had an “anomaly feeling” when I took the photo, so I am including this in our reports about Blood Cemetery.

Here are full-sized clips from the original photos, with and without the anomaly. It’s probably an insect, but you can decide for yourself.

As I’ve said, I think that this was probably a bug. But, enough odd things happen at Blood Cemetery that I’m not certain.
