i wanted to include a famous quotation about ghosts to start off the wording and ive settled on:
“The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always -- take any form -- drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”
EMILY BRONTE, Wuthering Heights
My idea still stands at creating a peice of text by me as a photographer, and a profressor of the paranormal, someone who stands on a scientific viewpoint and back up my claims. As a first attempt i got the following:
When I started this project, documenting locations that are said to be haunted, I never imagined the results would cause this much controversy. On the review of my images to see such prominent and apparent apparitions, I was in shock. Not only are they so vastly apparent, but to have them appear to me in more then one location, to be able to document them, I don't think I will ever understand how I have been chosen to show the world the existence of ghosts. Once a secptic I am now a believer. Once confirmed by my peers, I went to seek the help of someone with a more vast knowledge of this phenomenon. After discussing with lecturers here at the university (DMU), I was able to get in contact with Professor. Ostermann From the Koestler Parapsychology Unit in Edinburgh. After a few communications with him, I was shocked with the response I received.

“With response to our previous communication regarding my opinions on the case study presented to our team by you, I would like you inform you of our final decision on the matter. We at KPU, while the evidence collected is only of a qualitative method, it is to be my belief that the images presented to us are indeed examples of Spiritual photography. While personal experiences are often down to qualia, the evidence provided to our department allowed us to investigate your claims. We sent the provided negatives to our photographic team in which we were able to confirm that no tampering occurred during preproduction or post production of the images in question. We can confirm that these images contain the captured presence of the paranormal. With the clear visibility of many different forms of apparitions from full bodied to orbs and mist, it is still unclear to us as to why these occurrences happened to you specifically. Intuition tells me that with further testing we could focus our efforts to see if you have General Extrasensory Perception or a form of Clairvoyance which allowed these apparitions to become so apparent to you. With the six images presented to us it is clear that the five locations in question, are haunted by the definition; it has recurrent sounds or sighting of human activity, sightings of apparitions, and other psychic phenomena, in a location when no one is there physically. Without a ghost investigation, it is unclear at this point if the haunt is residual or intelligent, but we would like to thank you for bringing such clear and apparent evidence to our attention. Once again we would like to state that here at KPU, we believe this not to be a case of objective apparitions, but a valid case for investigation.”

My first impressions is that the second peice of text works well in contrast to the first, however while trying to convay a different persona i seemed to have made myself look like abit of an idiot. i also feel like the second while good, seems to avoid alot of discussion. while it briefly talks about the images im not sure if it is enough? I think a second re-write is in order.
