Close Encounters of the First Kind

I have often been asked about UFOs, but I’ve never really commented publicly on it before. As a researcher of ghosts, in the beginning I felt skeptical about all things paranormal, whether it be ghosts, UFOs, or extraterrestrials. Like Dr. J. Allen Hynek, I was kind of thrust into this other paradigm, and my skepticism (for all things paranormal) was echoed by Hynek’s words in the forward that he wrote for Jacques Vallée’s book, Challenge to Science – UFO Enigma:
“As an astronomer, I probably would never have approached the subject had I not been officially asked to do so. Over the past eighteen years I have acted as a scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force on the subject of unidentified flying objects-UFO’s. As a consequence of my work on the voluminous air force files and, to a greater extent, of personal investigation of many puzzling cases and interviews with witnesses of good repute, I have long been aware that the subject of UFO’s could not be dismissed as mere nonsense. Nonsense is present, to be sure, and misidentification of otherwise familiar objects that many sincere people report as UFO’s. But is there not a “signal” in the “noise,” a needle in the haystack? Is it not precisely our role to try to isolate the valid from the nonsensical?” https://www.amazon.com/Challenge-Science-Enigma-Jacques-Vallee/dp/034527086X (Oct. 1977)
Dr. J. Allen Hynek & Dr. Jacques Vallée

By the way, in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Dr. Jacques Vallée was the inspiration for the French UFO researcher. Dr. J. Allen Hynek was hired as a consultant for the film, and he even made a cameo. What many do not know is that the film was based on a real “close encounter of a third kind” (an esoteric term coined by Hynek himself), which occurred not at Devil’s Tower but at an actual Air Force Base out west. At the time, Hynek was working as an investigator for the Air Force’s Project Blue Book, and through his investigations became known as the “father of ufology”.
It took a photograph (taken by another woman right in front of me) to shake my skepticism about ghosts, and just a couple of years later I would take a photograph in Colonial Williamsburg that convinced me that UFOs are a real, albeit unexplained phenomena. I was at the Custis Tenement, on Duke of Gloucester Street almost across from the Bruton Parish Church. I was there attempting to photograph ghosts; instead I captured a bright green apparition over the house that had a classic saucer shape attributed to UFOs. It was stationary–hovering if you will–and it was impossible to ascertain how big it was because you could not tell how high (or far away) it was:
A bright green, saucer-shaped UFO hovers above the Custis Tenement in Colonial Williamsburg:

My second encounter was a bit more profound, as I was about 35,000 feet in the air somewhere over America in the window seat of a Southwest airline jet. I took my cell phone out to photograph a colorful sunset and I took three photos. In the very first photo I took, a bright white disk showed up, and again–it was difficult to determine its size or just how close it was. But it was close enough to elicit quite a bit of discomfort when you are that high up and you know just how fragile these jets are (Have you ever seen what a collision with a bird or birds does to the fuselage?). Accompanying the large, bright white disk was a group of smaller orbs–one bright white and the others very opaque. In a different circumstance, one might consider the orbs ghosts rather than UFOs. The phenomena disappeared in the second and third photographs and I was left with a colorful sunset from about five miles up in the atmosphere–suddenly inconsequential in comparison to the first photo. I kept quiet about this second encounter because my specialty was photographing ghosts, and I wanted to continue to focus on that, but I could not help but think that the disk was following our jet. Perhaps a bit ironic, coincidental, or serendipitous is that while I’m writing this, in the background a show on the Travel Channel is on called UFOs: Uncovering the Truth. This particular episode is called NAZI UFO Secrets, and it is mainly talking about the “Foo Fighters”, a name given to the UFOs that pursued Allied warplanes over Europe (I know, you thought I was talking about the rock group. Now you know where they got their name!) The word “foo” likely came from the French word “feu”, meaning fire, because these UFOs resembled balls or disks of light more than they resembled any kind of metallic human-made machine for flight. The “Foo Fighters” would chase and sometimes envelope Allied warplanes, in some cases making their instruments go awry, as well as fly at incredible speeds and make impossible turns. Did I photograph a Foo Fighter?
While photographing a colorful sunset from my window seat on a Southwest airline jet, I captured what appears to be a UFO at the right wing! Notice the presence of other much smaller orbs:

That same year I photographed a stable in the back of the original 18th century Taliaferro/Cole House in Colonial Williamsburg. This stable was used (back in the 1780s) for several years as the First African-American Church, before they were able to build their own church. That photo yielded an apparition in the far left window that appears to be alien to the earth, and that photo is in my second book, Breakthrough Ghost Photography of Haunted Historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia Part 2: https://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Photography-Historic-Colonial-Williamsburg/dp/0764355724/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Tim+Scullion&qid=1615866974&sr=8-3
This past summer (2020) I took thousands of photos in Williamsburg and did not have time to comb through them until this winter. In this crop of photos I found several that just might take me out of the paradigm of ghosts and right back into the realm of UFOs and extraterrestrials. It was right down the sidewalk from the Bruton Parish Church, right in front of the Bowden/Armstead House, and the apparition (or whatever label you would like to give it) appears to be what many in the UFO world call a “gray” (alien). In comparison to its surroundings it appeared very small, I would estimate under four feet, and was on the very edge of the photo. There is possibly another larger face right next to it that is cut off by the edge of the photograph, so I can’t be sure. I’m going to show you the whole photo first, then a completely untouched, cropped version, which by the way I would submit to any photographic forensic analyst to prove its veracity.

Another photo taken at the Shield’s Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg leaves me with the question is this really a ghost? Some UFO researchers have spoken of the multi-dimensional abilities of some extra-terrestrials, leaving me with the conundrum of what am I really looking at? It reminds me of the humanoid skeletons that have been found in South America with elongated skulls:
This next photo, taken at Shield’s Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, begs the question, “Ghost . . . or alien?”

Like you, I have more questions than answers. But the photos do not lie, and they suggest beings with a vastly superior technological intelligence are present here on earth, and have been for quite some time. Don’t think so? Take a look at these photos of Medieval paintings:
Medieval paintings showing flying UFOs:



So I’m not changing my focus away from ghosts, but in the process of capturing apparitions that do not fit into that paradigm, I can’t just ignore them. I also can’t ignore the feeling of apprehension (when flying almost 7 miles over terra firma) that a UFO is right at our wingtip and possibly shadowing the jet I am riding in. I also know that our government hides their knowledge of the UFO presence and is so quick to go in and clean up a crash site. Why? It’s quite simple: they want the technology. Reverse engineering alien technology would no doubt yield a treasure trove of advances that would give the US military superiority over other nations, so it should come as no shock that they would keep it secret. I can only hope that they would, however, share the technology that would benefit us.
Continuing with the sighting of UFOs, and a possible coverup: a couple of years ago, while giving a ghost tour, the whole group along with me witnessed a large, bright green object streaking parallel to the horizon. We were all amazed at what we just saw, and someone in the group sent me a news report the following day claiming that it was a meteor that fell harmlessly into the Atlantic–seen from multiple states. I couldn’t help but call into question the validity of that report, because what we saw did not have a downward trajectory, but seemed to be moving parallel to the visible horizon. For me, it was a reminder of what Dr. J. Allen Hynek experienced as an investigator for Project Blue Book: the government did not want to acknowledge the existence of UFOs, they just wanted a credible authority to furnish a rational explanation for what it could have been. The problem is that these rationales do not always match up to what was seen, heard, or even photographed . . .

The Williamsburg Inn: Five Stars for the Afterlife
I covered the Williamsburg Inn, a five-star resort in Williamsburg, Virginia in my first book, but in these pandemic times of lockdowns and quarantines, I’ve decided to take a second look. Several years ago, while I was photographing the infamously haunted Peyton Randolph House, I met a family from Southern California whose tradition is a family Thanksgiving at the Williamsburg Inn, that would often include a Black Friday visit to the haunted manse of one of our country’s least known founding fathers–Peyton Randolph. At this happenstance meeting we discussed all things paranormal, the poltergeist activity at the Randolph domicile as well as other Williamsburg hauntings. Since that chance rendez-vous we have spent the past two Black Fridays in a walking conversation on the afterlife anomalies of Virginia’s most haunted city, and of course looking at the photos of the apparitions that I captured at each place we stop. At the end of the tour the patriarch of the family expressed a desire to stay at Providence Hall next year, a house directly behind the Inn that is often used for domestic and foreign dignitaries. I know that Vice-President Dan Quayle stayed there, and he was told that both President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher stayed there. He also told me that the house is very haunted, and that I should photograph it. So at their behest I went there to try and capture the wraith residents of Providence Hall on my camera:
When I arrived I was dismayed to see that whoever was staying there had left every light on in the house. (Perhaps they had good reason to in the form of unexplainable activity?) The problem with bright lights is that they will wash out any apparition that tries to make an appearance, and my initial visit to Providence Hall yeilded no results . . . inside. However outside was a different story:
Directly in front of this pricey rental is a gently sloping bank that takes you down to a pond that has a fountain that cascades both water and light, the colors changing every few seconds to the soothing sounds of the splashing water. After a futile attempt at finding the phantoms of Providence, I went down to the pond just to capture this idylic scene, expecting nothing more. However, when I took a closer look at the photos I realized that the evening was hardly an exercise in futility: The ghosts were out and about that pond, and I have heard paranormal researchers claim that moving water is an attraction to the residents of the afterlife because they are somehow able to cull energy from the water’s movement. The first thing I noticed were the number of faces around the pond’s banks, all of them taking on the color of their ambient surroundings–green. But then I noticed the semi-transparent apparition of a person walking along the path as if he or she was just out for an evening stroll.
But without a doubt the most intriguing spectre that I captured was a woman in a dark evening gown and high heels, but before I get any further I have to preempt this photo with a quick commentary on what I’ve discovered about ghosts. You see, they do not always appear the way we expect them to. In fact, I am almost compelled to elucidate that they learn how to recreate a hologram of themselves–otherwise would they not all look alike? Some ghosts will appear as stark white featureless apparitions with dark spots for eyes, others will appear as a whole-body apparition in white (have you ever heard of the “lady in white”?), and the rarest is to capture a whole-body apparition in full color. What I just left out of my list is something that is perhaps the least expected kind of apparition: the ghost only shows its face–nothing else. Sometimes this face is a normal size for a human, and other times the size is grossly exaggerated, moving into the realm of hyperbole. So my questions are merely rhetorical, yet extremely relevant to my photographic evidence, so again: Do ghosts have to learn how to recreate a hologram of their former selves? Otherwise, wouldn’t all ghosts have a uniform look? So that said, it appears that the apparition of a lady in a dark evening gown is accompanied the oversize head of a man, and she appears to be resting her hand on his head for balance as she walks down the bank to the water’s edge.
So I came to the water’s edge just for an inspirational photo of a colorful, cascading fountain, and I walked away with a menagerie of ghostly visitors that were perhaps there for the same reason that I was, just on a different astral or perhaps dimensional plain . . .

The Light/Life Connection
From the very debut of my paranormal odyssey, I have set out to find and use scientific research to prove the inimitable link between light and life. Why? Because if life is to truly continue after the death of the flesh and blood body, then it must be connected to energy—electromagnetic energy, of which the wavelengths of both visible and invisible light are an integral part. The fact that people who see ghosts, or have taken photos of ghosts as I do, are seeing/photographing a hologram of light, often just white light, just adds to this postulation that light and life are inexorably linked. So if we have, as physicist Janus Slawinski theorizes, an electromagnetic consciousness, then it would be an intelligent energy—and energy cannot be destroyed—it can only change form. So if all of our thoughts, memories, personality—yes our consciousness—are tied to energy, then we cannot die, but live on in a different kind of paradigm. So I was absolutely fascinated to find research that establishes that link as a scientific fact:
So if ghosts give off photons of light, enabling them to appear as semi-transparent apparitions of their former human bodies, do human beings give off photons of light? The answer is an unmitigated Yes! Kobayashi, Kikuchi, and Okamura (July 16, 2009)¹ were able to successfully photograph the light given off by the human body—although our eyes are not sensitive enough to see it. Ponder that for a minute; scientists were able to successfully prove that the human body emits light, and even though we can’t see it, the camera can! Now is it that much of a stretch to believe that the camera can capture something else that the naked eye cannot see—ghosts! Our electromagnetic consciousness, or ghost, or soul, or spirit emits light at such low levels—most of the time—that the naked eye cannot see it, but the camera can.
But even more astounding connections have been found between living organisms and light, and I just want to highlight some of the discoveries collected by writer Dan Eden in his article Is DNA the next Internet? ² For example, Russian scientist, Pjotr Garjajev used a laser beam to intercept the transmission of ultraviolet photons from DNA molecules. He then transferred this light message from one organism (a frog embryo) to another organism’s DNA (a salamander embryo), with the end result that the salamander embryo developed into a frog! Can you imagine the implications of being able to change the whole development of an organism with just a coded message of light—especially if scientists start to experiment with human embryos? This same scientist suggested ultraviolet light communication may not only occur within every organism, but may occur between organisms—communication that is invisible to the human eye that may explain telepathy and ESP.
In another little known but stunning discovery, Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp, a theoretical biophysicist at the University of Marburg in Germany, discovered that the human body uses photons of ultraviolet light to switch on the body’s processes At different frequencies, they perform different functions. He may have inadvertently discovered a cure for cancer all the way back in 1970: he found that compounds (or chemicals) that entered the human body that cause cancer have the ability to absorb the cell’s ultraviolet photon signals and scramble them. The rogue chemical sends out a different frequency of light, causing cells to mutate. All the way back in 1970 we had a way to determine if a chemical causes cancer, and it had to do with coded messages of light! He even discovered an extract from the mistletoe plant that would return the mutant cell’s scrambled signals back to normal light frequencies—actually curing numerous cases of cancer. Dr. Popp would later exclaim, “We now know, today, that man is essentially a being of light.”³
It seems that everything from the smallest cellular processes to even higher thinking, including communication with other organisms, and consciousness itself has been scientifically connected to light. For every second that passes about 100,000 chemical reactions occur in each cell in the body—and every one of those reactions require a photon of light. Where do we get the photons for all of these processes? When we eat plant foods, we are actually eating light—ultraviolet light stored from the sun via photosynthesis in the molecules of the plant. A tiny super computer within the cell—the DNA—is able to take these stored photons and convert them into signals to direct each of those 100,000 reactions within the cell. A student under Dr. Popp discovered that when you use a certain chemical to unravel DNA, it gives off light. He then discovered that the DNA uses that stored ultraviolet light to send out a range of frequencies of light—each linked to certain intercellular processes.
But the body uses light emissions outside of individual cells as well—to repair wounds; however they had to be low intensity signals because these communications took place on an intracellular, albeit quantum level. Higher intensities would generate too much “noise” to be effective. There is a strange relationship between a creature’s complexity and the amount of photons emitted by it: You would think the more complex, the more light released—but just the opposite is true. So humans, at the top of the evolutionary scale, release the least amount of photons; perhaps that’s why ghosts are so hard to see or photograph. Dr. Popp not only studied healthy human light emissions, but also those that had cancer and other terminal illnesses. He found that these people were losing their internal means of communication within their own body because the light frequencies were scrambled, their rhythms were off—they were losing their light—along with their life.
Building on all of Fritz Popp’s discoveries, Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose wrote a groundbreaking paper with a convoluted title that essentially describes the brain as a quantum computer that uses a system of cytoskeletal microtubules between the brain’s neurons (cells). These microtubules have a crystal-like lattice structure, with a hollow inner core—ideal for the transmission of photons of ultraviolet light. In less esoteric terms, our brain is a super computer with a fiber optic network for the transmission of thoughts—our thoughts are in essence coded messages of ultraviolet light. Taking it a step further, the two scientists believe that this crystal-like lattice structure is the seat of human consciousness, and what we once believed to be a metaphoric reference to our “inner light” is no longer symbolic, but a literal reference to our consciousness, our thoughts, our DNA, and quite literally the control of every cellular function that we have. We are truly, as Dr. Fritz Popp stated, “beings of light”, and remember energy, including light, cannot die—it can only change form. (For more detailed information about the light/life connection, read Dan Eden’s article Is DNA the next Internet? found here http://www.viewzone2.com/dna.html ) 4
Being that all of these inner light functions are so dependent on ultraviolet light, you would think that ghosts would only appear in UV light. But given the number of people that have witnessed a “lady in white”, do they only appear in white light? (That said, did you know that white light is actually a combination of all the colors in the visible light spectrum?) From all of the thousands of photographs I’ve taken, I’ve discovered that ghosts will appear in different colors of light, but in many cases it seems as if they are using the surrounding ambient light, giving their appearance the shades of color from their surroundings. The most frequent appearance is white, with shades of ultraviolet as well as infrared light, but there are exceptions. The full-bodied apparitions that I have captured outside any home or building will usually appear in full color, including their clothing. Faces in the windows will usually take on the color of their ambient surroundings, but again there are always exceptions. I feel compelled to return to the Peyton Randolph House to show you some of my best examples of ghosts showing up in just one color of the visible light spectrum, and neither color was part of the surrounding ambient light. If you have seen the color of the Peyton Randolph House during the daylight, it has a dark reddish brown color which at night is quite foreboding, and the lights reflecting in its windows have an amber color. So to assume the surrounding ambient colors, a ghost would be in amber and red, which they often have appeared in those colors (See the 1st photo). But when I captured two ghosts in the same window, different windowpanes, one in green (2nd photo) and the other in blue (3rd photo), I knew that color wasn’t necessarily a rule, so perhaps it’s a choice. I just wonder what the colors had to do with the people these ghosts once were—was it just a favorite color, or does it go deeper than that?
Here’s the face of a phantom at the Peyton Randolph House that is taking on the ambient colors from the house (dark reddish brown) and the surrounding lights (amber):
[image error]
Another apparition at the Peyton Randolph House takes on a different color (green) from its ambient surroundings:
[image error]
Finally, in the same photograph as above, yet another ghost appears in a different windowpane (in the same window) clothed in a different color of light, as if projected from a blue and white orb:
[image error]
At the Geddy House, this apparition appeared with a kind of yellow and white orb, but the face nevertheless assumed the color of its ambient surroundings.
[image error]
Here’s an example of a “lady in white” that I photographed on the market square green:
[image error]
At the Guardhouse, I captured a male face that almost appears to be projected from a bright white orb of light.

The Peyton Randolph House: The Myth, the Legend, the Reality
During the 18th century a famous, patriotic man named Peyton Randolph lived in an ominous manor in the capitol of Virginia. The dark, reddish brown color was actually a fashion statement indicating that the home’s owner had money to afford this very expensive paint, but ultimately it gives the house a foreboding look indicative of its past—and even more menacing at night! Over 200 years later that house would earn a reputation as one of the East Coast’s most haunted houses, and oh the stories they would tell about the ghosts, many of them made up by ghost tour guides as they try to enamor the attention of their clientele. I know this because I have stood outside this house within earshot of other ghost tours and heard these made-up stories myself—as have some of the security guards in Colonial Williamsburg. But please, don’t let that statement divert your attention from the fact that this place is profoundly haunted! I have discovered that there are many ghosts that dwell in this house based on my photographic results, and I know that something dark, and perhaps evil occupies this building as well. I have read, according to information put out by one ghost tour, that the Peyton Randolph House is built on a Native American graveyard, and as a result, the house’s paranormal activity can be explained as the result of the angry, indigenous spirits whose final resting place has been desecrated. But of the many faces that I’ve captured at this haunted location, none of them appear to be Native American—and I have photographed the apparitions of Native Americans in other parts of Williamsburg. So I disagree with the assertion that the Peyton Randolph House’s paranormal activity can be attributed to Native Americans. So who, or what is it?
I don’t claim to have definitive answers, but I can suggest possibilities based on my photographic evidence, including some new evidence that may convince you that house’s namesake may even occupy this dark abode. The very first human apparition I ever captured was at the Peyton Randolph House, but I could not understand why the area around the apparition’s mouth was all black and mottled. According to Colonial Williamsburg’s interpreters, a man came to see Peyton Randolph during the 18th century. While waiting in the parlor to meet with the colony of Virginia’s most important politician, this man decided to end his life by inserting his pistol into his mouth and firing it. Suddenly I understood the appearance of the apparition as well as the possibility that this may be the dark entity (or at least one of them) that dwells in the house. (See this photo in my first book, Haunted Historic Colonial Williamsburg with Breakthrough Ghost Photography) Likewise I have captured a dark apparition that appears just outside the house, and resembles a black skull with eyes. What adds to the intimidation factor of this apparition is its size—at least twelve feet (about 4 meters) high. Is this the suicidal man, or something much more sinister?
[image error]
Another possibility that I suggested in my first book was that after the William and Mary Wren Building burned down in 1862, an unknown body would be found in the Randolph’s family crypts beneath the building after the Civil War when the debris was cleaned up. In another blog, I captured the face of a former tortured slave named Eve, who was one of the home’s victims of cruel and unusual punishment. Was somebody murdered in the Randolph House and then hidden in the Randolph crypts? Is the answer as simple as a murder, or even a suicide, or is the malevolent presence the result of some other nefarious activity at the domicile?
Out of all the haunting stories told about the Peyton Randolph House, none of them include any story about the namesake of the massive home, which was at one time two separate homes that were joined by a two-story structure that created a substantial wooden structure for the wealthy lawyer/politician. Peyton Randolph, who was elected to lead the First and Second Continental Congress as chairman and was the first man to be called “Father of Our Country”, died suddenly in October of 1775 of a massive stroke while in Philadelphia. One type of the event that seems to cause a ghost to be “earth bound” is a sudden, unexpected death. Could this be why I captured an apparition that resembles one of our country’s founding fathers, Peyton Randolph? I will show you the apparition right next to the painting of Randolph, so that you can judge for yourself. Peyton was overweight, as you can see in the painting, and the apparition appears to be overweight as well. I would have loved to have captured the apparition’s double chin, but that unfortunately did not happen. Nevertheless, I see enough similarities between the apparition and the painting to state that one resembles the other, but ultimately you will have to make that judgment call yourself. The painting of Randolph is when he was older and wearing a wig; the apparition however seems to be younger with natural hair. I have written that the members of the Williamsburg Masonic Lodge believe that Peyton Randolph, a master mason, haunts their lodge. One mason told me that they always make sure to acknowledge the former head of the Williamsburg Lodge when they first enter. As I’ve said before, ghosts are not locked into one house or building, they are evidently free to move about—and I have captured them walking the streets of Williamsburg. So it’s possible that a ghost can divide its time between two or more buildings, so Peyton may just haunt the Masonic Lodge as well as his former Williamsburg abode, and perhaps even the Wren Building on the campus of William and Mary—which he is buried beneath in his family’s crypts. So no, the Peyton Randolph House haunting is not solved, as one ghost tour in Williamsburg claims, but another page has been added to the home’s haunted history—one that is both intriguing, compelling . . . and continuing.
Some of the compelling faces that showed up at the last photo session of the Peyton Randolph House:

Here’s the previous phantom face placed next to the painting of an older Peyton Randolph in a wig; could it be a younger version of Peyton showing up at his former house? Or could it be a Randolph relative? Peyton did not have children, so perhaps a cousin?

The Power of the Christmas Candle and Other Para-Curiosities:
Ghosts are living, conscious electromagnetic energy, and since all living things need to replenish their energy, they do it in unconventional ways—at least to our reality, where we use only food to synthesize energy. One interesting way is using the light energy from the Christmas candles to make an appearance. (Colonial Williamsburg places a battery-powered candle in each window during the holiday season, and I’ve captured several ghosts that have showed up very clearly right next to or over this light source.) Ghosts often use ambient light to help create an apparition, and so the reality is opposite of what many people think: They do not show up too often when it’s pitch black, they need a little light to appear. However, there are some ghosts, like at the infamous Peyton Randolph House, that rather than using the candle light to make an apparition will just suck the energy right out of the battery pack. Several different times each holiday season I have stood in front of the Randolph House with between ten and twenty people, and we have witnessed what appears to be an entity going through the house and draining each battery. When we first arrived, every candle was on in each window. By the time I finished, every light had been extinguished, and the people left with a feeling that they had witnessed something paranormal. The first time this happened, a gentleman in the back kept saying, “There goes another one!” About the third time this happened, since I had my back to the house, asked him, “There goes another what?” He replied, “Another Christmas candle. Something is going through the house and turning out each candle!” When I explained to him that nobody was in the house after five o’clock, he asked who was turning out the lights. I explained that they are placed on a charger every day, and then turned on and placed in the windows before the employees leave every evening at five. The charge is supposed to last until about two in the morning, but not at this house.
The Christmas candle ghosts: The following 3 ghosts were hanging by the Christmas candles in the windows of the Prentis House, the Whetherburn Tavern, and the King’s Arms Tavern.

Have you ever felt as if something has gone through you? I ask this question because I photographed a crowd of people down on Duke of Gloucester St. by the Ludwell House, and in that photo you can see a ghost passing through the body of a spectator. I would have liked to go up to the person and ask him or her (it’s hard to tell when you look at the photograph) if they felt something, but then he or she may have thought that I was crazy. Myself, I have passed my arm through the body (if you could really call it that) of a ghost, and it felt as if I had passed my arm through a deep freezer. Every hair stood up on my arm, and the chill bumps went up my arm and down my spine. However, I don’t think that ghosts are actually cold—I believe they are capable of drawing the heat energy right out of your body—therefore they seem as if they are cold. Could this person have felt a rush of cold through the trunk of his or her body while watching the program?
Check out the ghost passing through the body of a spectator standing near the Ludwell House on Duke of Gloucester St. I can only wonder if this person felt anything . . .

The final para-curiosity took place on the same street, this time near the Mary Stith House. In front of the tiny house two musicians were playing 18th century music in a wagon. Ghosts are attracted to music, and they came out that evening right behind the wagon to listen. One of the apparitions is difficult to make out—except for the blur—but the other appears to be a male in 18th century apparel. I can only wonder if the musicians would be uncomfortable knowing that in addition to the living audience they had a few post-mortem listeners; notice that besides the two apparitions behind them there are quite a few orbs that qualify too. In case you’re wondering how I know that ghosts are attracted to music, I have to go back several years to a home that I lived in haunted by several ghosts. At least on of the ghosts was a Civil War soldier dressed in a navy blue uniform (Union); the others may have been too. In the hallway, where the ghosts were often seen, an infrared security camera was aimed at the front door. Whenever I played my guitar in the kitchen, I could see the orbs begin to fly up and down the hallway on the monitor screen. In addition, the pixelated faces of one or two men would begin to form at the base of the stairwell; sometimes the faces morphed into pixelated silhouettes of two men walking down the hallway. Likewise whenever I would stop playing, all of the activity would stop. I would love to be able to show these videos as well as the still photos, but the house burned down and I lost both the equipment and the videos of my phantom music lovers. So the next time you sit down to listen to some music at home, or perhaps go to a concert, keep in mind that in addition to the music devotees that you can see, the dead may be there, perhaps even right next to you, enjoying the same sounds as the living. If you ever feel a cold rush of air through your body, the phantom fanatics may have just passed through you as they rush the stage . . .
Ghosts listening to music in front of the Mary Stith House; although the one on the left is just a blur, the one on the right has the attire of an 18th century man. The first photo is a cropped closeup of the 2nd photo to see the ghosts behind the wagon. Notice in the 2nd photo all of the orbs present–in addition to the 2 phantoms behind the musicians’ cart:

Fireworks, Phantoms, and Other Phenomena
Colonial Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination is a spectacle that rivals its July 4th celebration, and is well attended by people, phantoms, and yes other phenomena (I will get into the other category in a minute). In my second book, I was able to capture more ghosts in one photo than have ever been captured before—a whole ghost militia standing at the Powder Magazine—so this original 18th century building is a source of endless fascination with me. So when I discovered that one of the locations for the pyrotechnics was the Magazine, I just had to station myself as close as possible to the over three-hundred-year-old octagonal building, hoping for another appearance of the 18th century militia, or perhaps an appearance by a 19th century Confederate army unit, whose mass gravesite was proximal to the guardhouse—right next to the magazine. I was curious if all the fanfare from the fireworks was sufficient to wake the militia a third time (I had captured them standing in front of the magazine’s wall on two separate occasions, just one week apart), but it was not. I was able to capture a number of phantoms watching from nearby the guardhouse, but it was not an organized, post-mortem gathering of the military, just some casual observers.
I was able to capture several faces peering over the fence near the guardhouse, two of which are bearded males—the beards making a strong argument to place them in a Civil War fighting unit, perhaps even the 24th Virginia regiment, which was decimated in the Battle of Fort Magruder (Williamsburg). Standing near them was a striking full-body apparition, but it’s hard to make out the details, other than it’s a large, overweight woman. Perhaps you can see something that neither others nor myself can see?
The clearest, most detailed apparition that I captured was at the Powder Magazine’s wall, on a metal grid that was used as part of the fireworks display. What is really unusual is that it is the first time that I have a photo of an apparition that is actually smiling! All of the faces that I’ve photographed previously have a face that seems to be devoid of emotion—or sometimes with the mouth gaping open—which I learned from a registered nurse happens at death. (She said that when a patient dies she has to often close the mouth as well as the eyes.) I can only wonder if the fact that the clearest electromagnetic entity appeared over a metal grid, giving rise to the question is the conductive metal in the grid responsible for the clarity of the electromagnetic apparition?
One of the phenomena that comes under the other category are orbs, often dismissed as dust or moisture in the air. The orbs at the Magazine are huge, and they appear to be misshapen hexagons high up in the air where the fireworks exploded. You can tell that they are not small objects that are so near the lens that they appear to be large, because they would have been much darker being that my camera was several hundred feet from the Magazine—in the dark. These shapes are lit up as if they are right up there over the Magazine where the exploding pyrotechnics can illuminate them. For this and other reasons I find it difficult to just dismiss these orbs as just moisture or dust. (I have captured orbs moving at tremendous speed on video—faster than any air movement indoors or out—as well as the fact that they can suddenly change direction and move at a right angle to their previous course.) Check out the massive orbs suspended over the Magazine and illuminated by the exploding fireworks, and you decide for yourself. After all, belief in the paranormal is a highly personal thing dependent on whether or not you have had a paranormal experience or not, as well as your philosophic and religious background. Then there is of course changing one’s philosophic and/or religious background based on a paranormal experience . . .
Here are just a few of the fireworks photos at Colonial Williamsburg’s Powder Magazine showing massive orbs; some are at the very top of the photo and cut off.
[image error] [image error] [image error] [image error] [image error]
The first two ghost faces I captured at the Magazine were near the Guardhouse, which was next to a mass gravesite of Confederate soldiers. Given the hairstyles and the beards, these might just be two of them, and I can only wonder if the myriad of colors on their faces is from the fireworks:
[image error]
[image error]
I’m not sure if this is masculine or feminine, but again the colors make for an intriguing face:
[image error]
Two feminine phantom faces showed up together—could they be related?
[image error]
The clearest, most intriguing photo of all was a feminine face that appeared on the metal grill in front of the Magazine’s wall; could the conductive properties of the metal enable this electromagnetic entity to appear so much larger and clearer than the others?

Chowning’s Tavern & the Paranormal Attack
In my last blog, EVP technology gave me insights into one of the most troubling, yet intriguing photos I have ever taken; this time the Ovilus gives a hint to the mystery that surrounds the story of a former security guard and a photo from Chowning’s Tavern. The account may be a residual haunting–a paranormal episode that plays over and over again and usually involves violence and death. Nobody knows why the participant ghosts seem to be locked into reenacting a violent, homicidal act, but they apparently relive the violence oblivious to what’s presently going on. The soundtrack to what is now a paranormal assault played one time for a former Colonial Williamsburg security guard Chuck Rayle, and it has forever changed him:
One evening Chuck and his photographer friend Chris were walking down the alley next to Chowning’s; as the two friends approached the seating area in back of the tavern they both heard what sounded like a group of people coming out of the front of the tavern. Obviously from their location in the back of the building they could not see the group, but they could hear what sounded like several men and one woman laughing and talking as they exited the tavern. A few more steps, and although they could not hear what one of the men said, they heard the woman say, “No!”. As they continued walking towards the building’s front, they heard the woman again say, “No!”, this time a little louder and with more conviction. A few seconds later the woman screamed out her refusal a third time, sending a chill down their spines and the two men began to sprint towards the front of Chowning’s. Chuck pulled out his revolver and his badge as he ran, Chris pulled out his cell phone and began to dial 911. As the two rounded the corner of the tavern, they fully expected to break up an attack on a woman . . . and were dumbfounded to discover that no one was there. Not yet convinced that what they heard was not in real time, they began to frantically search the area for the woman and her attackers. About forty minutes later they finally realized that what they just experienced was a moment in time–a residual haunting. One part of this audible phenomena that the two men did not realize until after their futile search–all of the ambient sounds of a summer evening in Colonial Williamsburg were wiped from their perception as if necessary to focus on the assault. Somehow the resonance of the crickets, tree frogs, and other nocturnal insects, the AC units at Chowning’s, the wind in the trees, and the tourists talking as they take an evening stroll through the ‘burg–all of the reverberating noises of a mid-summer night became inaudible as if replaced by this residual soundtrack to a paranormal attack.
About one year later I stood looking down that same alley as I related Chuck’s story to a group on my ghost tour, wondering if I would ever know what really happened in front of Chowning’s Tavern. An experienced paranormal investigator was on the tour, and he happened to have an app on his phone called the Ovilus. What it does is send out a lexicon of words electronically, and if any ghosts are nearby and want to communicate, they can select words to come up on the app. He showed me what came up on the screen immediately following the haunting tale, claiming that this was the first time he ever had names show up on the app. The names of three men (Robert, William, and Murphy) came up followed by the name of one woman: Audrey. I couldn’t help but wonder if Audrey was the woman that was attacked there, and that she was giving up the names of her attackers. Likewise I couldn’t help but wonder if Audrey was raped, or worse if she was raped and killed. Was she reliving this experience over and over again ad nauseam, or perhaps is she trying to drop clues to the living as to how she met her demise? Chuck has asked a friend of his at the Williamsburg Police Department to search the records to see if a woman named Audrey was attacked in Colonial Williamsburg, or if she disappeared here and was never heard from again. I can only wait for more answers to be found (keep in mind that this officer has to go through written records–he doesn’t have the convenience of typing in a name, searching through a database, and getting an answer in just a few seconds. As if to reinforce the narrative that you have just read, it was just last week when taking EVPs by the tavern, that EVP specialist Mike Graham captured a woman screaming as if she was being attacked on his device. When he played the recording for me, I could plainly hear the woman screaming, as if she is once again reliving the episode that may have ended her life. So the next time you walk down the alley next to Chowning’s Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, keep your ears open for more clues from Audrey; perhaps if you listen closely she will tell you more . . .
Here is the alley next to Chowning’s Tavern, with a large red orb in the tree:

Here is a face that I captured in a tavern window:

Here is an intriguing face that has that mid-19th century, Civil War era look, from another window:

Finally a group of ghosts, interestingly enough several males and I think that the face in the top left is female; could this be the group of males that attacked a woman in front of the tavern somewhere in time?

The Bryan House EVPs Tell the Story of One of the Most Compelling, Intimidating Photos I’ve Ever Taken
People that have read my first book and/or have taken the Williamsburg West Tour have described the photo of the two ghosts at the Bryan House as one of the most frightening photos they have ever seen, and the man standing behind the woman (with his hand over her mouth) as one of the most intimidating, ominous faces–not to mention the red eyes. Yet in Colonial Williamsburg’s historical records nothing is said about any homicidal attack that happened at the back corner of the house, where the photograph was taken. So for several years, I knew that something bad happened here, but I had no idea what. Of course I (and anyone else for that matter) could imagine what took place just from the photo’s contents, but imagining is not as satisfying as knowing, particularly in a case like this where you know something dreadful has happened. Perhaps it wasn’t documented because the two in the photograph were slaves at the time. I also wondered if this is a residual haunting, where savage, murderous violence is carried out over and over again in the spirit world as if reliving the violence will somehow change it. For whatever reason, I was able to capture just a glimpse of what happened in the past as this broken video plays over and over again, and although I have returned to the Bryan House many times, I have never been able to recapture this couple as they relive a violent episode in their lives that may have ended one of them. After several years I resolved that I would probably never know what really happened, and just leave it at that. That is until several days ago . . .
My ascent into the paranormal paradigm has been a purely visual one; most of the paranormal television shows are sorely lacking in any visual evidence, and I wanted to see it. (Whenever I watch these shows, and someone exclaims “I just saw something!” or “Did you see that?”, I expect that with all of the cameras and gadgets pointing everywhere that I would get to see it too, but that rarely, if ever happens.) So I have struck out on my own searching for visual evidence of the paranormal, and have not attempted to use audio recorders to try to communicate with dead. (Not to mention I have been told that opening the lines of communication can get you an unwanted attachment.) But about a week ago I met someone who does communicate with the other side, and from what little I’ve heard, has been successful at it.
U.S. Army specialist Mike Graham has been experimenting off and on with EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) for about three years, and when he came to Fort Eustis for training he picked up a copy of my book. After reading it he came to Colonial Williamsburg to many of the places I photographed, including the Bryan House, and began asking questions pertaining directly to the photos in my book. When he asked about the photo below at the back corner of the Bryan House, two female names came up. I have never told anyone else before, but I captured two different female phantoms that night, but one was very clear, and the other was not–so I left it out. I have since been able to clear up the face and included it in this blog; curiously, there is something around her neck. The two names that came up were Angelina and Addison. Both photos had the threatening male figure behind them. The next question Mike asked was about the threatening man behind the woman holding his hand over her mouth. The first response from the other side was cousin, but the second was a little more chilling: bad man. When he asked what happened to the woman in the photo, the responses were even more horrifying, and in this order:
Rope / Tied / Addison’s neck / Drug off
Possibly meaning that: The bad man tied a rope to Addison’s neck and then drug her off. Although I was saddened by what transpired in the past, I was elated that I had a partial story to go with my photograph, giving a simple explanation for what happened. I can only wonder how much more information can be gleaned from this site, or will the ghosts remain silent about any further details just like just like they have refused to show up on subsequent photo shoots. I will say this: whenever I set up my camera in the exact same spot that I captured this photo, an unseen force will release one of the latches on my tripod to knock it over–so far this has happened three times. The first time I was caught completely off guard and the camera fell over and nearly ruined a very expensive lens. The second and third time that it happened I was ready and caught the camera as it fell. Every time I go to the Bryan House, I think of a title from writer Ray Bradbury, Something wicked this way comes. It comes every time I return, and it doesn’t want me there. Want to go?

The second woman that appeared at the same corner (I cropped this photo because the male face that appeared behind her was very distorted; notice there is something around her neck–is it a rope?

Grand Canyon Pyramid?
On April 5, 1909, the Arizona Gazette ran a story about G.E. Kincaid, who discovered an underground city in the Grand Canyon containing artifacts that were Egyptian as well as artifacts from the Orient (most notable of the Far East artifacts was a statue that resembled a Buddha). The article also states that an archeologist from the Smithsonian, S.A. Jordan, returned with Kincaid to investigate this hidden underground complex with evidence of cultures that, according to history, were not capable of trans-oceanic voyages. But according to an August 31, 2009 article at Smithsonian.com by writer Jesse Rhodes, it’s all a “myth”, and other than the story in the Arizona Gazette, no records exist about either Kincaid or Jordan.(1) Both governments and newspapers have told and printed lies before, so who do you believe? I could have gone either way with this, but something along the way has swayed me towards the Arizona Gazette report:
Dr Svetla Balabanova, a German scientist, tested 134 Egyptian mummies in 1992 from the Museum of Munich and discovered levels of cocaine and nicotine in them. The tobacco plant is native to North and South America and the coco plant is native to South America, so that’s solid evidence that the Egyptians were either capable of transoceanic voyages or that they traded with a culture that did. Dr. Balabanova is a respected toxicologist, invented groundbreaking technology to test hair for drugs, and the accuracy of her tests results have held up in courts of law. She was so shocked with the results that she tested the mummies a second time, and she sent samples to three other labs to make sure of this seeming impossibility. But her original results held up—Egyptian mummies tested positive for cocaine and tobacco—and the results from the tobacco tests yielded lethal doses of nicotine, 35 times higher than levels for a smoker. What’s sad is that this groundbreaking researcher has had archeologists and historians from all over the world denigrate her because her results do not match up with their historical paradigm.(2) So rather than question their paradigm, they not only insulted but also threatened her because their views are now like a house of cards that is ready to collapse. Here is something else that was dismissed without research because it was deemed impossible: Back in 1976 at the Museum of Mankind in France the mummy of Egypt’s greatest Pharaoh, Ramses II, was repaired. Within the material used to wrap the corpse researchers found fragments of tobacco! Was it researched to find out the possibilities? NO! It was dismissed as contamination and subsequently ignored.(3) So if Egyptians possessed tobacco from the Americas, it’s not so far-fetched that Kincaid found Egyptian artifacts in the Grand Canyon. But if Kincaid did find treasures from both the Middle and Far East in this cave, why cover up this history-changing news and declare that the Arizona Gazette’s report is an unsubstantiated, erroneous story that cannot be believed?
I know, I know—I’m supposed to be looking for ghosts, not Egyptians or Buddhas in this blog, but in doing my due diligence to research the ghosts of the Grand Canyon, I come across something that until now seemed incomprehensible. No, I don’t expect to come across any pharaohs when I photograph the rim of the canyon, but isn’t this intriguing, compelling information? Some now claim that a few of the large buttes that you see in the canyon are man-made constructs; they point to the right angles as proof of their assertion, and they note that they form a pattern that matches constellations. I will leave the judgment call to you, but if you are interested just go to YouTube and search Grand Canyon pyramids. I myself wondered about something that reminds me of the North American mound builders. Along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, looking out from the Watchtower’s vantage point, is one unnatural-looking formation on what appears to be an otherwise flat plateau. The Colorado River has cut through this landscape for millions of years to form the world’s largest and deepest canyon carved into a plateau (Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon in the Himalayas as the world’s longest and deepest canyon, but the sides of this geological wonder are mountains, not a flat plateau). I wonder if this is a pyramid-like mound built by ancient people to serve some purpose within their culture; what do you think?
Doesn’t this look like a flat-top pyramid? The rest of the landscape is a flat plateau, so doesn’t this look unnatural? This is the view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, looking from the overlook at the “Watchtower”:
[image error]
If you are curious to compare it to other examples of known sites, check out this site (http://www.crystalinks.com/pyrnorthamerica.html ) and scroll towards the bottom of the page to see several pyramid shaped mounds with a flat top. Yes I know that the mound-builders existed in the central part of North America, primarily around the Mississippi River and its tributaries, but if we are talking about Egyptians in the Grand Canyon, I think it’s possible that the mound-builders, or a similar culture made it out to the Southwest too.
So while I was searching for the paranormal in the Grand Canyon, I’ve come across some unexpected things that may or may not exist in the world’s most spectacular canyon. As for my photos, I have some amazing photos from the El Tovar, a turn of the 20th century hotel built on the edge of the South Rim, so stay tuned for that in my next blog. But since this blog is primarily about ghosts, I’m going to leave you with a face that I captured in the Hopi House, which sits right next to the El Tovar. The Hopi House has a primitive design by architect Mary Colter, and primarily showcases Native American crafts. The exterior features multiple rectangular levels stacked to mimic the ancient 10,000 year-old pueblo dwellings of the Hopi village in Old Oraibi, with layered sandstone rocks on the exterior, wooden ladders between levels, and tiny windows.
If you recall a few blogs back I wrote about Caroline the playful poltergeist that likes to play with and redress the dolls at the store Everything Williamsburg in Colonial Williamsburg’s Merchant Square. The Hopi House at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon has a similar tale, only two Native American boys haunt the old pueblo-style gift shop. For those that work a late night, the boys can be heard running around the upstairs; their antics include turning off the computers and throwing display rugs on the floor. Caroline likes to place display dolls in a circle on the floor; the two boys at the Hopi House prefer instead to line the dolls up. Whereas Caroline will rearrange store displays according to her tastes, the Hopi House boys will simply throw the display on the floor when they do not approve.
These are the 2 faces that I captured at the Grand Canyon’s Hopi House; perhaps the 2 Native American boys that are like mischievous poltergeists?

Are Ghosts Locked into Buildings or Are They Free to Walk About?
One of the more intriguing places in Colonial Williamsburg is the Whetherburn Tavern, where the owner may have been complicit in the death of his first wife and fathering a child with the teenage daughter of his second wife (full story in my first book: Haunted Historic Colonial Williamsburg Virginia with Breakthrough Paranormal Photography). This is one of the places where I have been able to photograph ghosts both inside the tavern and outside. Having lived in a haunted house before, I became used to seeing what appeared to be constant paranormal activity on my infrared security camera that I had aimed at the front door. Every time that I looked at the security monitor, there was activity—whether it was invisible motion detected, flying orbs moving at tremendous speeds, or the pixelated outlines of two apparitions (that looked like grown men) walking down the hallway. From these experiences I just assumed that they were always there, moving about in one form or another. But my photographs from the Whetherburn Tavern and now other places lead me to believe otherwise. At the Bruton Parish Church, I’ve captured more ghosts outside the church than I have inside, and these examples point to the conclusion that ghosts are not confined to one house or building, but can freely move about.
Here are several examples of the ghosts captured outside the Whetherburn Tavern. As several people look on, oblivious to the ghost in front of them, it moves so fast that the camera just picks up a blur, even though the shutter was only open a fraction of a second. (I blacked out the faces because I do not have signed permission to use their likenesses.)
[image error]
The second photo, taken right after the first, continues the blurring apparition. But evidently he stops for a second, and you can make out the face of a bald man looking down.
[image error]
Here is a crop of the previous photo so that you can see the apparition’s face more clearly:

I’m in the process of taking photos and researching for my third book (on the ghosts of Virginia, featuring the homes of the Virginia Presidents), and I’ve encountered the possibility that ghosts are capable of traveling farther than a casual walk around the town or city that they used to frequent. Two of the places that I’ve photographed and researched are Fort Monroe in Hampton, Virginia and the Confederate White House, in Richmond, Virginia. Although I have not seen nor captured Lincoln’s likeness yet, people have not only seen his tall, lanky, unmistakable likeness at Fort Monroe and at the Confederate White House, but also at the Washington White House and at his Illinois home! For another example, take George Washington: although I captured many intriguing ghosts at his Mount Vernon house, none of the apparitions resembled the first president. But right here in Williamsburg, at Washington’s favorite place to eat—Christiana Campbell’s Tavern—I captured a ghost that just may be the general. (Washington documented in his journals that he dined there 91 times—see the chapter on Christian Campbell’s Tavern in my second book to check out the photo.)
So with the photos that I’ve shown at the Whetherburn Tavern and a few more at the Bruton Parish Church, perhaps you will agree with me that ghosts are mobile, itinerant beings just as we are. I have just finished revising my first book, with over 100 new and intriguing photos, 7 brand new chapters, and compelling new accounts of paranormal encounters in Colonial Williamsburg, including many more itinerant ghosts at the Bruton Parish Church. I have learned so much and gotten so much better at capturing ghosts that I had to make these changes; you will be amazed at some of the new and bizarre photos that I’ve captured, along with new paranormal experiences as told by Colonial Williamsburg’s night security, employees (who shall remain anonymous so that they will not get fired for talking about their encounters with ghosts), and even locals and tourist with an unexplainable experience. I’m approving the final art for the cover today, and it will be released this fall—stay tuned!
Here’s the photos from around Bruton Parish Church, showing the mobile ghosts that walk around this original 1715 house of worship; here is a group of ghosts walking down the street after a church service:

This next group stood together out front of the church with tourists as the fife and drum marched by.
[image error]
Here is a ghost of a woman that appeared at the Powder Magazine; it appears as if her movement is completely sideways–without any leg movement.
[image error]
Finally, I’ve photographed something in infrared light very different over the top of the Fort Magruder Hotel/Conference Center. It kind of appears angelic, but I don’t know–what do you think? Whatever it is, it appears to be out of the building and moving . . .
