These photos were snapped on our ghost hunting expedition on Mendon Road near Van Wert (for story, see page 5 of the October issue of the Blue & Gold). Do the orbs and lights indicate ghosts? You decide. Click on photos to enlarge them.

Palmer Cemetery (left column)

The stone entrance to Palmer Cemetery had several orbs floating around it. According to John Heistand, founder of Ethereal Perceptions paranormal research group in Findlay, the fact that the orbs change shapes between pictures points to ghostly activity.

These music-note shaped lights we snapped in a cornfield could mean the presence of a spirit. Heinstand said that ghosts are capable of capturing light and carrying it short distances.

Crybaby Bridge (right column)

Crybaby bridge also had plenty of orbs, but according to Heinstand, these are more likely to be caused by dust in the air reflecting the camera’s flash, because they do not change shape between pictures.
