Do you love ghosts? Maybe you are fascinated by all of the horror movies out there. A lot of people are. And, the supernatural world is extraordinarily interesting to think about, research, investigate, etc. In fact, there are actually several ghost hunters out there seeking to capture the latest experiences with the supernatural. Do you want to be the next? Guess what? Ghost hunting in today’s world is possible from the comfort of your own home. You can actually sit and hunt for ghosts using your own computer and the modern technology that the internet provides.

Here’s a great idea. There are specified areas that are designated as being haunted. Instead of consistently visiting the location in search of these ghosts, set up a webcam at the location instead. Then, check on the location periodically from your computer to see if any unusual events have happened. It is a great idea, especially since even if you could hunt the area in person; and, you obviously could not be there all the time.

Also, since you are going to need a webcam for the location, make sure to purchase one that will capture the area’s activities properly. There are certain cameras that are better than others, so do your research.

There is a town in Greenbrier Country, West Virginia that has a legendary ghost story. It dates back more than 100 years ago and centers around one of the town’s residents, Elva Zona Heaster. Zona had recently, and to the dislike of her parents, married a man by the name of Shue. One day, Zona’s body was found dead in her house.

Mary Jane Heaster, Zona’s mother thought there was something odd about the death. And, although no evidence could be found to suggest any out of the ordinary Mary Jane would not let it could. Legend states that she prayed to God and Zona’s spirit appeared to her and recounted what happened. Her husband Shue had viciously murdered Zona.

After some convincing, Mary Jane convinced authorities to reopen Zona’s casket and have the body reexamined. They did an investigation to see if Mary Jane’s ghost story matched up with the new autopsy. And, guess what? It did! They were able to convict the murderer.

Mary Jane’s story is a legend in the ghost community and it was definitely instrumental in finalizing the details of the case. Without her information, the case may still be a mystery today. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, you would have to admit that Mary Jane and Zona’s story is fascinating!

Throughout history, many people have been known to hunt and seek out the supernatural. This quest provides many with adventure and excitement that is unmatched by other pursuits. The world of ghost hunting is full of renowned hunters who are known for their findings. However, one ghost hunter in particular is undoubtedly the most famous. His name is Harry Price.

Harry Price spent his career as a salesman, journalist, and researcher. He was born and lived in London. His interest in the supernatural began at an early age (some estimate 8 years old). He was particularly fascinated with magic and loved to watch magicians performed and began collecting many books on magic. When Price was 15, him and a group of friends spent the night in a house that was said to be haunted. That experience sparked Price’s further involvement with spirits and ghosts.

After college, Price became apart of the Society for Psychical Research. As apart of the society he was credited for his success as a ghost hunter. Much of his work is seen in photographs taken by William Hope. Price pursued many of his ambitions throughout his career and lived a fascinating life. You can read about many of his stories today.

Ghost stories are a favorite pastime around dancing campfires and on dark stormy nights, but the ghost stories surrounding the prison on Alcatraz Island may exceed them all in pure realistic possibility. Many people have seen shady apparitions or fuzzy shadows where they don’t belong, but the events at Alcatraz have drawn attention from those interested in paranormal activities for decades.

Al Capone, one of the most infamous residents of Alcatraz, played the banjo in the prison band and was given permission to practice in the shower room due to security concerns if he were exposed to other inmates. Sounds of banjo music have been reported to be heard emanating from the area of the shower room, even though the prison is now unoccupied and no explanation for the sound can be found. Is it the ghost of Al Capone?

The utility corridor and Cell 41D are two other portions of the prison where frequent paranormal activities have been reported, including sounds of moaning, crying, scuffling, and general conversation sounding like men talking. The utility corridor is the area where three men were shot to death during an attempted escape, and Cell 14D was a part of “the hole”, or solitary confinement where men were sent for punishment. Are these sounds the ghosts of these men occupying the prison to this day, wandering the prison that once held them prisoner? No one knows for certain, but the sheer numbers of reports of ghostly activity are impossible to ignore.

The Bell Witch of Robertson County, Tennessee has been blamed for the terrorizing, harassing and even the death of John Bell. The ghost is reported to be the spirit of Kate Batts, a local woman who was a neighbor of John Bell and with whom he had more than one sour business deal. Her apparition began appearing at the home of John Bell and making eerie noises, frightening laughter and wreaking a general degree of mayhem around the house and property. Residents of the surrounding county soon heard of the chaos occurring at the Bell home and Kate Batt’s ghost became widely known and referred to simply as “Kate”. At one point the stories about Kate’s antics became so well known that General Andrew Jackson himself paid a visit to the property and witnessed the destruction caused by the raucous exploits of the ghost.

Following John Bell’s death, apparently from ingesting a poison found near his bedside, Kate persisted in her antics and caused ongoing trauma to the Bell home and the surrounding neighborhood. Even after she seemed to have left the area, no one knew if she really had gone or was just waiting to create more havoc. For that matter, was the ghost even real or was she a person trying to cause trouble under the guise of a spirit? While to this day no one knows for sure, the story of the Bell Witch continues to make people wonder if she will at some point return.

We all wonder what lies beyond the mortal coils of life.  Where do our souls go? Heavan…hell…reincarnated…or do we sometimes get trapped and tied down to or old lives?  Since the death of pop legend Michael Jackson, there have been numerous reports of his ghost being spotted.

Is Michael’s ghost doomed to roam the halls of his past for all eternity?  You decide.

There is this director in Los Angeles who recently held a screen testing for his new thriller movie about ghosts in caves. The movie was not completed and it could be altered to make it better. After the testing ended, a long question and answer session happened with the director about the movie. In particular, it was a big debate whether or not the ghosts, spirits, or orbs should be shown on screen in picture or just sound. Some people wondered if showing the orbs on screen would make the movie seem less believable. It might have been helpful for the director of this movie to talk with a ghost hunter, someone who is familiar with the natural spirits and anomalies in the environment.

If you research ghosts, you do a lot more than taking a few pictures to capture an orb hoping that it might be a spirit. A good way to start is to take pictures of all the uncommon things you might find in the environment. There are things like dust, pollen, spores, and rain droplets that are all anomalies in environment. You can compare these pictures to see if you find anything unique. Not all orbs are ghostly. The belief is ghostly orbs contain spirits in them. Sometimes an orb even contains more than one soul. Now that you know a little bit more about orbs, you can start taking pictures.

This horrifying video shows the terror and danger a poltergeist can put a family through.

This is one of the most interesting and creepy videos I have seen in awhile.  This ghostly video show a high speed car chase of the Garden City P.D. and what they refer to as the Ghost Car.

The Ghost Car swerves and weaves in and out of traffic.  The driver is “like a man possessed” and all hell breaks loose.
