So folks, CC was heading up a recent investigation in Melbourne and we caught this on camera.

very interesting photo steven good catch

Excellent photo! Love it!

Wow nice photo

Well folks, I'm gonna level with everyone; this is not a paranormal photo. It looks really cool to be sure, but paranormal no. Why? I had the flash set for what's called rear curtain syn; meaning that the flash fires at the end of the exposure just prior to the camera shutter closing. I had a 15 second exposure btw. Anyway, there was a person behind the display with a flashlight, so that's where you see the trail of light coming in [caused by the way we set up the camera equipment].

I posted this photo as an example of what isn't paranormal. I think it's a good idea to learn from this angle as well because it's good to work those "intuitive" muscles as well as those muscles that pertain to investigations.

We're here to learn to educate the masses.

I could have posted this pic on many sites and called it "spiritual"; but unless one could prove otherwise, that would have made me a liar.

The point of my rambling is this; we can't just throw a post up, saying something is "this" or "that" and expect people to believe it through faith in one's abilities or experiences. Faith is not fact but a passionate belief. Faith/passion still needs to be proven through research, otherwise it is useless to help others and all it can do is mislead people unless it is proven.

That's why when I challenge something, I'm at the same time challenging myself; kind of a do it yourself wet willy.

Ok I did think there was something weird about this picture. The dots seemed too patterned. Not really your typical "orb" pic for sure. Thought maybe it was those meshy Christmas lights or beads or something. I figured you'd have an explanation. Thank you for posting it. It's good to learn from all of these types of photos.

The green lights are a laser grid. We use them in BHPI for catching shadow movement. Thanks Steven for posting this. I saw it before you posted the explanation and withheld comment.

I was going to say it wasnt paranormal.. but withheld... lol

If you had, you would have been correct. I'm going to throw curve balls from time to time in stuff that I post and hope that some of you guys in the field do the same.

I think it can do nothing but help to educate people.

Having said that, I'll send a photo to CC where it appears that one of the lights from the grid has a trail. That's a little odd, but will make for good discussion.

i understand what you did here steven im glad someone stood up and acutaly did this without nameing names lol its good and bad the good is shows how people can just put pic by pic up all the time and there always right but then again might discourage some with good evidence not to put theres up but im with you on this 100%
