Mystery Fritts mansion ghost photo, or? - By N.L. Belardes

I've been sent some strange photos lately. I got one of a ghost woman, and another of an orb. What causes orbs in photography? I have no idea.

Recently there's been a lurker in Oleander snapping photos of well-known creepy areas. I just got an email claiming something weird in a photo of the old Fritts Mansion. You make the call.


A serene day in Oleander?


A ghostly tree, or?


Possibly a face? Lucky trick shadows?

You make the call...

    I'm not normally a bubble burster, but I'm pretty sure that's bark...HAUNTED BARK!

    You mean ghosts can't hug a tree and leave an imprint? Didn't Jesus leave his imprint on like old burlap sacks? heh.

    But then Haunted bark could be really dangerous.

    I think that tree bark might be worth something on EBAY!

    Go back and take another photo in the same position at the same time and see what comes up.

    It looks like the face of an indian.

    Oleander is a pretty scary fucking place. Then again, I spent a lot of time over there as a kid during the Night Stalker phase.

  21. Blogger n.l. | 11:40 AM |

  22. Blogger n.l. | 11:41 AM |  

    We could invite the Bakersfield paranormal society. Maybe they have multi-field trackers like Arthur Chilling's...

    so now I see the ghost before I read the book. Shoudl I be scared to read it? And hey NL thanks for the autograph! :)

    Ahhh any ghost hunting trip has to begin at the train station at Pioneer Village. Day or night the ghosts are always waiting on that train that departed the station a long time ago.
