Bad Para Pictures
These are all common examples of the types of natural and explicable photographic errors
that Susan often declares paranormal in nature.  The truth is they are not paranormal and it
is despicable and a crime against the entire paranormal community that Susan has
misinformed so many people over the years.  She is telling people what she knows they
want to hear, and that is wrong and extremely detrimental to the field of paranormal
research.  Many of the people in her group do actually want to study the paranormal and as
a self declared "paranormal expert", Susan has a duty to provide her members accurate
and impartial information.  The problem is that if she did that many of the "thrill-seeker"
ghost hunters would quickly grow bored with the process of walking through countless
cemeteries every weekend and stop putting money in her pocket.  The truth is more often
than not after an investigation we end up with  a very few or no pictures at all that contain
things that are totally unexplainable. As a paranormal investigator it is our duty and your
duty to do everything to prove that your picture is in fact unexplainable, and through this
process you will discover that many things that are paranormal in Susan's world in fact are
totally natural and 100% explicable.  Good Hunting and think for yourself. The second table
consists of pictures that have been posted by "Kiros32" on the TAPS Message boards and
the comments are taken from comments left by other users on the TAPS site.
This is cigarette smoke.  How do we know for
sure because the person who took this picture
told us that it was.  They were smoking when
they took this picture and they sent it to us to
see if we would fall for their trickery.  When we
simply told them that it was impossible to say
with certainty what was in the picture they told us
that they just were trying to trick us and that
without a doubt it was just smoke
Orbs are probably the most commonly
misidentified photographic error.  When you
take a picture outside it is very common for the
picture to be literally covered with "orbs".  The
problem is that more often than not what is in
the picture is simply dust, moisture, rain, bugs,
or pollen illuminated by the flash.  A paranormal
expert should tell a member that instead of
proclaiming everything an "orb shower"
This picture is simply overexposed.  It is common
 covered with an ectoplasm mist.  In reality they

contest.  A picture taken of a white house that,
contains a in the window face.  When the picture

Wow impressive picture, an apparition, Right?   
Wrong! In reality it is done with Photo shop.  The
guy in the picture emailed this to us offering to
really spice up our site by producing tons of
picture like this.  We declined of coarse but
PhotoShop Ectoplasm.  It is really quite easy to
do.  You don't have to believe it you can do it
yourself just use the paintbrush tool on any
program and change the transparency settings
while making strokes...magical!... Ectoplasm
This is a spooky picture, but in reality it is
nothing more than silly string fired in front of the
camera.  It is given that eerie glow by the flash
Picture taken in the rain.  If you take this picture
to Susan I guarantee she would immediately
declare this to be an "orb shower"
Rain for sure.  Look familiar? Let me give you a
clue, "orb shower
This is a hair.  When an object is photographed
with a flash in a dark location it illuminated but
the camera is unable to focus on it so it takes on
a vortex like appearance

taken up towards a roof that is up for

Snow  is what it actually is but I am sure Susan
say it is a "moving orb shower"
   
   
Kiros32, whoever you are, please don't take this personally.  In our opinion this is all Susan's fault
because as a self proclaimed "paranormal expert" she had a duty to provide all of you with the most
accurate information available to her.  She clearly takes advantage of those who have a real
interest in the paranormal by misleading them with respect to photographic anomalies.  Also we
want to say that some of your other pictures are truly quite intriguing and we hope that you develop
a healthy skepticism on your own.

Alright folks, sorry, but I have to take the photo
down.  If someone else happens to, ahem ahem,
copy the photo and post it again, ahem ahem, I
wouldn't "necessarily" have a problem with
that....ahem!  Sorry, I have something in my
throat.

Kiros32 added on December 19,2005 in an
email to us that, " I explained earlier in that post
that the person whom claimed it was their photo
and gave me permission to post it, contacted me
and asked me to remove the photo.  It was in
fact not her photo."

I zoomed in and noticed that the rest of the pic
pixilises and gets rough, while the white stuff
stays pretty smooth.  I think it's photo edited.

The West Virginia Society of Ghost Hunters is a
scam operation only seeking to prey on people
who want to believe so badly they'll take
anything that is handed to them.

The W.V.S.G.H. lies to their members, fakes
EVP, posts fake pictures on their website and in
general threatens anyone who comes out
against them with legal action.

Please read the truth about the W.V.S.G.H. at

Slow shutter speed + slightest movement can
cause those streaks
