text edited

after asking opinions and abit of playing around i achieved my final text, the main 'professors' text is pretty much the same but the text from 'me' has completely been rewritten.


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

When I started this project, I had never imagined that my work would lead me to where I am today. The following images were captured on a 35mm film camera and are unedited. With in intention of documenting the relationship between modern day and historical locations, that are claimed to be 'Haunted.' The following images were taken over 5 separate locations. I was completely alone when taking these images. On seeing the final images, I did question if there was any cross processing that had occurred, however looking in comparison to the negatives it is clear that the apparitions seen in these photos were present at the time they were taken, and were not visible to the naked eye. I never thought that a simple documentary approach to these locations would allow me to capture images that are so apparent in showing apparitions of disembodied souls. On the completion of these images I begun communication with one of the leading teams in the United Kingdom, who deal with the scientific investigation of the paranormal, The Koestler Parapsychology Unit in Edinburgh. I was surprised with the response that 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, with the inclusion of what appears to be a demonic presence in image three. 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 'choose 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.”
