A Vampire Hunter Targeting the Vampire…

My friend Bonnie Gill was a vampire hunter, pictured left, with her cross-bow readied. The vampire actually won first place on her costume and she did have the best costume and makeup job of anyone! So here they are battling it out at Authors After Dark at the Vampire Ball.

But just like in a story, sometimes you have to add a little setting detail, a little atmosphere to really see the story more clearly. So that meant getting rid of the hotel ballroom hallway, and adding a little more spice.

Sometimes it’s fun to bring out that inner child. We never have to grow old.

Though I have to say that I had to tell Bonnie that she looked like she was just enjoying taking down the vampire way too much, and she needed to be a little more… serious. She only smiled all the more. 🙂

Ghost Orbs??

 

Ghost Orbs in front of a wall??? Or just something on the camera. All the other pictures were totally clear.

 

When we were in Savannah, Georgia, I took pictures of the walls and fretwork in some of the old buildings that were “haunted.” We were on a ghost hunting tour–paranormal equipment, you know–the usual. Ghost light detectors, phones set on ghost tracking where it pops up with words and it doesn’t matter that the words reoccur no matter where you are in Savannah, and you can have a ghost right beside you, it happens with such regularity, you know you’re being stalked. Temperature readers.

I mentioned to the tour guide that it was like Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs can’t be kept on a schedule where they appear at regular intervals just for the tourists. 🙂 I’ve witnessed paranormal events, but it was always so unexpected, not something that was “forced.” I don’t think she appreciated what I said. LOL

 

Anyway, so we had lights that changed colors when “entities” were in the local vicinity, changes in temps–yeah, yeah, so there was air conditioning seeping out of the window of a building right next to the walkway where it was sooooo hot. Hmm-hmm.

 

Finding ghostly entities with ghost lights.

 

 

 

And yes, the entities came to a particular spot on the floor. They were kids, because guess what? When you raised the ghost alert meter, it would lose the signal. So had to be a kid. Right. Not electrical something in the floor???

 

But it was fun playing along with Bonnie Gill, as the ghost hunter spoke to all the ghosts and asked them yes and no questions and they answered with red and green lights. Bonnie was playing the game, good cop/bad cop scenario. I was the Doubting Thomas, but still looking for my own ghosts that were not part of the paranormal tour woowoo. 🙂

 

This was NOT on the ghost tour, and it was an antique shop with a wickedly evil looking Italian bench. Bonnie only got a picture of a haze where the bench should be. The little evil looking figure in the center had green glowing eyes on her picture. But my closeup of him was fine.

 

But my camera picked up ghost orbs when hers just showed fog. Different pattern entirely from the first picture above at the haunted building showing ghost orbs. And all the rest of my pictures were clear. I always figure something’s on my lenses, but how come everything else was clear? These were the only two pictures that came out like this.

 

 

We had a blast!!! I love old buildings, architecture and all the fun cool shops. But Authors After Dark was so much fun too. We had a ball at the Elemental and Vampire balls, super great author panels, loved the YA chocolate bar, Pamela Tyner’s breakfast gathering, just lots and lots of great activities! 🙂 Oh, and Samhain’s ice cream party. And surprisingly, I didn’t even gain weight! 🙂 

 

So what do you think? Ghostly orbs, or just the lighting in the building somehow???
