Here is a little information...

Mist and orbs can sometimes be explained away due to possible camera anomalies and/or environmental conditions. Unless an orb or a mist is seen with the naked eye at a time the picture was taken it will be looked at as circumstancial evidence only. These pictures are posted for you to look at and decide what you think.

Unfortunely the absolute best evidence we have is of a picture one of our co-founders took of a solid apparition in a room full of people. We are unable to post it due to the family's request, but we are trying to persuade them to let us post it. In the picture you can see the back of a caucasion womans head with thinning white hair. She is very close to the camera lens but the image is very sharp and clear. The person (apparition) in the photo was not and did not match the description of anyone present at anytime that day or night at that house.

In other cases we were unable to catch on film or on audio unusual experiences but we did personally see and/or hear things that we cannot explain.

Such is the case in one house where footsteps could be seen on a carpeted floor and it was heard as something crossed right beside one of our investigators, but he could not see anything visible that was making the footprints. Also at that same site something was knocking on the front door, but no one was there even though we were just a few feet away and answered the door quickly; there was no where someone could hide.  

On another case on a night with a full moon we were on a front porch and could hear someone behind the house moving around. We then heard them walking around the side of the house. Looking over the banister as they turned the corner in front of the house and below us we could see the grass being mashed down by unseen footsteps and could hear the foot falls. After a few moments we went into the house and waited to see what would happen. Within a few moments we heard the back screen door open and close twice. Then open without closing. I went to check it out; the screen door was locked with the old hook and loop lock! There was no way it could have opened or closed but three of us heard the door open and close, and saw and heard the footsteps, but nothing we could see was there to make either of these two paranormal events to take place. Even though many people has seen apparitions and heard someone walking through that house we did not experience any of those types of events.

Therefore, even though we may not catch something on tape does not mean we do not take stock in our findings. The event, however, must be witnessed by at least 2 people for the event to qualify as a witnessed paranormal event.

                                                    These photos were taken in Burkville, Va. in October of 2009


            
These photos were taken beside the house we were investigating. Notice the many orbs in photo #1, but start to dissipate in photo # 2. During an investigation in June of 2009 a couple of team-members did experience paranormal activity in this area.  Some family members has seen an orange orb about the size of a basketball in the same area. 



Below are just a couple photos captured at an undisclosed historical site near Mechanicsville, Va.
The site presented several different people with auditory experiences on different days.

BELOW ARE SOME EVP's AND VIDEOS WE HAVE CAPTURED FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE
NOTHING HAS BEEN DOCTORED  SO DON'T TRY THAT SCAM HERE ... IT WON'T FLOAT!


Below is our one and only capture of an animal evp in October 2009! There were no pets

on the property at the time of the capture. There is a very faithful and loved pet,

a Cocker Spaniel named Duchess buried on the property!

                                      


What is really strange is the investigators voice is muffled during

the recording of this evp, but the evp is clear? Can't explain that one.

What we hear is "Help us"  What do you hear?

                                                  



Below are 2 back to back EVP's that were captured on the Union Side of
the battlefield during daylight hours. Pay attention after each question is
asked for a response. Some answers we were able to make out, others, however,
could not. We will let you listen to see what you are able to ascertain from these recordings.






Below is a video captured at "The Haunted Pole Green Church Site"
This was captured at the Haunted Pole Green Church Site.
Pay attention to the upper center of the viewing area.
What looks like 2 eyes comes into view, leaves and comes back again.
There is also a clicking noise as if something is trying to respond to the question.

 

 

 

Below are 2 EVP's from "The Haunted Hunting Club Site"
Listen very closely after the 1st question for a growling "NO"
Then listen to one of the dead speak plainly to you!






Below is an EVP from "The UpLand Haunted Hunting Club Site"
     Listen very closely you'll hear footstep when no one is walking and rapping 
  when no one is knocking! You may have to listen a couple of times.

                                     Belo    Listen very closely you'll hear footstep when no one is walking and rapping          when no one is knocking! You may have to listen a couple of times.

 



                                  Below is an orb captured at the Haunted Upland Hunting Club that starts out in the 
                                      room where the apparition of a man is seen. The orb is self illuminating and flies 
                                       up the stairs where the evp "No" above is heard. No one felt comfortable here.

      
                                          

 

 

 

                                          This paranormal video was captured at the Wilton House Museum 6/09.
                                      Pay close attention to the hair on the right side of her head. It will raise and
                                 lower without living human intervention! This was an amazing catch and experience!

                                              



 

Burkeville Ghost ... This image was captured by a clients camera.

Notice the image of a moving left to right. The stairs are in front of the door.

How does she get over a 7' banister and how coming she's going uphill?


                                                                                           

 

 



Gaines Mill Battlefield Ghost?!  Notice all the insects flying across the screen.
Is the black image an insect? Yes, even though you can see through it. Several
of us has seen a black figure with the naked eye and on video in the same area.
What we saw was in the form of a man and another one that looked like a dog.
                                            




 This is an encounter with what appears to be a Female Entity using a K-2 Meter

near Burkeville, Va. This was captured on our second investigation to the property this year.

The team-members were a little excited as you will see!

                                               



What is this entity saying in a home near Mechanicsville?

One of our voice recorders turned itself on, recorded the following voice

and then turned itself back off. It is a loop of 3 of a less than a 1 second recording. 

Send us your thoughts to: rip@ghostraps.com

                                                           

Unlike the evp above you can definitely make out what the entity below
has to say about moving things around in the kitchen!


                                                            




Is that Michael Jackson's Ghost below?! Will we ever know?! Probably not!
  This video was filmed shortly after Michael passed away. 

  What is very interesting to me is the image extends from
  the middle room all the way up the wall at the fireplace.
  Therefore the image captured is actually close to the camera!
