Ghosts 101

Ghost pictures are easy to find. You can even take ghost photos yourself.

Many ghost photos are online.Most of them aren’t real, but they’re fun (and sometimes scary) to look at.

The photo at left is real. It shows the blue, ghostly figure of a soldier who haunts near Seattle, Washington. (Photo courtesy of HollowHill.com, where you can see more real ghost photos.)

In pictures, ghosts usually appear as ‘orbs’, which are like clear, whitish bubbles. Nobody knows what they really are, but people think that they’re ghosts.

Never pay to see ghost photos.

Plenty of ghost websites are free to view. Some have free lessons in ghost photography, too.

See our links pages for some of the best.

There are hundreds–perhaps thousands–of ghost-related websites online.

This website, Ghosts 101, is sponsored by Hollow Hill.

It is an entirely free website that features real ghost photos and ghost stories, and many articles to teach you to become a ghost hunter.

But, there are many other very good ghost websites online.  Some of them are fine for children.  Others are stupid or written for adults.

Here are a few places to find links to more ghost websites.

Obiwan’s UFO-free paranormal pages offers one of the largest indexes of websites related to ghosts and paranormal studies.

The Shadowlands also provides ghost information and many links.

If you enjoy ghost TV shows, visit official sites such as the TAPS guys’ website, or Most Haunted, or the website of psychic John Edward.

Ghosts can be very easy to find. There’s usually at least one in every very old cemetery. Very old houses
can be haunted, too.

Websites such as HollowHill.com and Shadowlands list ghosts in the US and other countries.

At Halloween, your town newspaper probably described local haunted places. Look through old issues of the newspaper. (You may find them online or at your public library.)

Ask your local historical society. Be sure to ask about ‘ghost stories’ rather than real ghosts. A lot of people don’t like to admit that they believe in ghosts.

Ghost stories aren’t always true but parts of them might be. Investigate the most interesting ones.

Visit your public library. Reference librarians usually know local folklore, or they can tell you who knows ghost stories.
