Ghostly Photos – Fact or Fiction

Did you ever wonder how all of the ‘alleged’ paranormal photographs and videos, circulating around the world, could be real? Well, they’re not! Join Ghost and Hauntings Director, Deb Ahern as she takes you through a crash course in Ghost Photography 101. During this discussion, such topics as camera equipment, ectoplasm, mists, shadows, faces, and the ever popular orb will manifest. She will also explain what her research and experiments, in this area, have revealed.

This is a multi-media presentation and audience participation is encouraged. Ghost photography, and all it entails, has become a very controversial subject and is sure to spark some interesting conversation.

This is a multi-media presentation and there will be time for a question and answer session.

Hi, My name is Debbie and I am the Vice President and the Director of Ghost and Hauntings for Cape and Islands Paranormal Research Society.

I have been interested in the paranormal since I was a child; my first recollection of a brush with the paranormal being at the age of five. So, most things that I encounter as a paranormal investigator are inside 'the norm' for me.

I have a son and daughter, who are both in their mid 20s, and I love living on 'Haunted Cape Cod'.

Thanks for visiting!




Join Cape and Islands Paranormal Research Society (CAIPRS) in the Orb campaign! We have been in the field of paranormal investigating for over 7 years and have been dealing with the same issue in photography, Orbs.

I will not go into what an orb is or isn't, as a paranormal investigator you should already know. If you don't, you should read up on this "phenomenon".

These items will let you express what you think of Orbs until it is 99% unexplainable.
To get your NO ORB paraphernalia go to www.cafepress.com/noorbs



The $0.75 proceed from each item goes to the research and investigations of the orb.

Thank you for your support.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE SOON!

POEM WRITTEN BY 11 YEAR OLD AYDEN OF YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS
He and his family took the tour on Tuesday, October 23. 2007


You want to know what scares me most?


Our walk through Barnstable Village


There are ghosts, goblins, and ghouls


The dead here are surely cruel


The people have seen the ghosts


Now we’re the hosts



If we see dripping bloody writing on the wall we’d
hope it’s paint


But if not I’ll surely faint.


Want me to see a ghost?


Ha! Oh heck NO.
