Pink is generally a color of happiness, openness and love. It’s a good color to see.

Also, if your mom called your dad on the phone… well, there are many stories like that, and I believe that this could happen. It’s nice when people are so connected, no matter how far apart they may seem, in physical terms.

Good luck with your ghost hunting adventures, too!

Cheerfully,
Fiona

Thank you so much for your reply, and I totally understand you must get swamped with the photos. I did want to add though that the photo in question here in my home it was an amazing bright pink, I have not seen hardly any that were pink. I had seen a guide some place on colors, and that pink was for openness ?? What is your thoughts on that..Any way it sure pretty.
As far as the evps, I believe you are correct , my mom passed away in Feb last year and sure i like to think that she is here with me. My dad had a strange thing happen to him the day after the funeral. He was home alone and the answering machine came on with out the phone ringing, and then all he heard was static noise. He had me and my sister listen to it, he thought he heard something but not sure, my sis and I listened and heard what sounded like a female voice call my fathers name. Its hard for some to hear, and its probable like you said, we are just wanting to hear it, so I do not know.
Im sorry to take up so much of your time, just wanted to thank you and wish you luck on your new book.

However, as far as I’m concerned, the only problem with trying EVP recordings in your own home is that you might scare yourself. I’ve heard recordings that sound like absolutely nothing unusual, and people want so badly for it to be a voice, they think they hear voices in the sound of cars passing the house, etc.

Or, at the other extreme, they are so anxious and fearful, everything sounds like a “ghost voice” in the recording. It’s the audio equivalent of jumping at shadows.

Unless you have other evidence of a haunting — and I mean something significant that visitors notice regularly — I wouldn’t think that an orb or two means your home is haunted.

Oh, there’s nothing wrong with using ghost hunting equipment at a non-haunted site. In fact, it’s a good idea, so you learn what normal (but odd) things look like… like EMF spikes around electrical outlets.

But, it can be a huge mistake to start with an orb photo and go looking for ghosts. The orbs may seem to confirm other ghost phenomena, but they’re a very minor (and controversial) part of the evidence we use to prove or disprove a haunting.

I hope that answers your questions. (And, I am working on revisions for my upcoming book, Ghost Photography 101. I think it will help people decide what’s real & what’s not, in orb photos and other anomalous pictures.)

Generally, I think that spirits of all kinds are attracted to the high energy of children and teens… or anyone who is very active. In a very tiny number of cases — far less than 1% — that’s related to poltergeist activity. Most of the time, I think it could be angels, faeries, or happy spirits.

I wouldn’t worry about them at all. If the dog barks at thin air, that still might be a faerie (they’re notorious for teasing dogs); I’d only take it seriously if the dog is clearly trying to protect your family.

Most spirits realize that you’re serious when you command in the name of Jesus or any other Deity. Until you get to that point, the spirits may still think it’s all a game. Since most ghosts come from a time period when people were reluctant to “take the Lord’s name in vain,” the mere mention of Jesus is enough to make them pause, at the very least.

(Again, it’s a case of remembering the context of the spirits’ lives when they were here in physical form: They didn’t smile in photos. They were very mindful of the Ten Commandments. Women wore skirts, and only donned trousers for farm labor… or if they were odd. People preferred to be introduced to each other before participating in any kind of conversation. These past “rules” go on & on, and I think we need to be mindful of them when evaluating haunted sites.)

But, particularly with playful spirits, if you ignore them, they’ll go somewhere else for fun.

Generally, I think babies and small children perceive all kinds of happy spirits, including angels. As the children go to school and are taught to be more serious, they ignore the “fantasy” and “make-believe” beings that they once considered friends and happy companions.

Sincerely,
Fiona
