Ghost Stories


Do you believe in ghosts?  On July 31st, my friends and I were able to document an incorporeal being haunting this abandoned house in the Catskill mountains.  Unquestionably, it was the scariest moment of my life.
Although the house was clearly empty, before we crossed paths with the "white ghost" we felt the eyes of someone or something watching us.
At first, the ghost evaded our attempts to come close.  I was able to capture it in the image above from about 80 feet away using the zoom function on my camera.
Eventually White Ghost warmed up to us and we were able to snap some fabulous shots.

Standing in such close proximity to a real life ethereal being sent chills running up and down every part of my body, but I kept telling myself how important it was to record this moment for posterity.
Although White Ghost vanished into thin air within minutes, its presence will haunt my dreams until the day I die.
