Hauntings at everyday places
Haunted? or not Haunted? This is a question that is asked about nearly every old, creepy, historic building or landmark that has a history of folklore or tales of apparitions or any other supernatural activity. The problem is that although there have been many pictures or sound recordings dubbed "authentic", there is no hard evidence that any certain place IS or is NOT haunted. This has made many skeptics and believers hold on to their beliefs based on only their own personal experiences.
I actually have a photo taken at a historic building that has predominantly been a tavern or bar since the 1800's, that to me shows an apparition of an old man and maybe some other apparitions that do not stand out as vividly. There had been rumors ever since I was a kid that the bar was haunted, so I took my digital camera upstairs to snap a couple dozen photos. If you believe me or not, I will truthfully say that I did not doctor this photo, it is simply zoomed in on the area that looked different to me, which ended up being the suspected apparition.
I think the possibility of an afterlife existence makes people intrigued and makes them want to know if ghosts are real or not. If we could talk to loved ones who have passed on everyday there wouldn\'t be a need for \'ghost hunters\'. It is this unknown that intrigues us and frightens us perhaps at the same time. Maybe if you are in a place known for rumors of paranormal activity in the future, you yourself could start snapping photos to try to gain some evidence. As for me, I know what I see in the picture, and I believe that what the small rural town of 300 had been rumoring for over half a century is probably true.
