One thing about me is that I love learning about the paranormal. I enjoy good horror films and listening to paranormal stories. Now that I think back, I can recall a few things that might of sparked this interest when I was young.
The first ghost I think I saw?
Long story short, I grew up in a trailer that was settled in between small hills in Nevada – before moving to California. There was a huge window in the living room that looked out to one of those hills. My mom, sister, and I were watching TV in the living room during the day when all of a sudden we see a bright white figure swift past the large window. I was confused and my mom was freaked out because we didn’t live next door to anyone or anything. Our closest neighbor was about two blocks away. My mom quickly looked outside to see if there was anyone there and there was nobody there. We never figured out what it was. After that, I don’t remember seeing strange figures at that home. Other strange things have happened after that though but I’ll leave those stories for another day.
Visiting the graveyard
Fast-forward to 2010 when I went to visit my extended family in Jalisco, Mexico. About a week before my grandma unexpectedly passed away, I went to visit the local graveyard in that town. It happens to be about a few blocks down the same road as my family’s house in Mexico. Not scary at all right? Anyways, I went there in the evening with local friends as the sun was setting. I took my new DSLR camera at that time and I was excited to use it, not sure what to expect. We started walking around the entrance and thankfully everyone was very respectful to the graves. There are very old graves there dating back to the early 1800s located near the entrance. I wasn’t scared at all, I made sure I was calm and just started snapping pictures. I don’t remember feeling out of the ordinary. We hung out there for about an hour and headed out when it got really dark. Since I didn’t physically see anything with my own eyes, I thought that maybe I didn’t capture anything paranormal in my camera. Later that night after reviewing the photos I took, I found a few strange figures that resembled small children and an orb.
The photos
Here are the photos that I found strange things in. I apologize ahead of time for the crappy quality–I pulled them off my facebook albums circa 2010.
The first photo here is an orb. You might want to turn up the brightness to see it well. I circled it in red and zoomed in on it.
Second photo is of a little girl in 1800s-style clothing. She has two braids, long skirt, loose shirt, and is faceless.
Third photo is the strangest to me because it looks like a small baby floating up from the grave and wearing a hooded cape. Also faceless.
I haven’t returned to that part of Mexico since 2010. I’m hoping to go back sometime soon and photograph the same spots.
Let me know what you guys think? Do you see what I see?
