This page is dedicated to false evidence that we have caught.  These picture caught our eye, but was later disproven as not being paranormal.  These are common occurences in the paranormal world and the training it takes to recognize these false positives is quite extensive but worth the work.

We take pride in our investigating and want to make sure the people looking at our website only get REAL evidence. 

If you look to the right of the grave on the right you can see what appears to be a misty outline of a person.  We looked over this picture very hard and we finally found out it is a huge flower pot by the grave behind it.  The flowers coming out of the pot give it a misty type effect.

This picture was takin during a primary investigation.  It appears as if there is an apparition in the window.  We went back a second time and took pictures of this window in a chance of possibly disproving it, and we did.  What is seen in this picture is actually a what appears to be a lamp with some kind of cloth thown on it.  We took several pictures of this window and got the same effect from all angles.

 In this picture I was going over the possability of seeing apparitions in a television set.  On the left side of the television you can see what appears to be a hand in the screen.  Farther left off the telvision you can see what looks like a bony arm reaching toward the hand.  We have disproven this to be a reflection.

This picture was NOT taken during and investigation since alcohol is not allowed.  But this is still a pretty cool effect.   It appears that there is a bright light and a huge orb.  What this actually is though is the residual light from the celing fan above her and the light is giving off an orb type effect.  So in all actuallity what this appears to be is a case of lens flare.

In this picture 2 of our investigators were doing tempature and EMF sweeps.  I took this picture and if you look just above their heads there appears to be a tall man in a older style cowboy hat.  It took some time to do so, but I am convinced that i have disproven this picture. The way I believe this figure came to be is the angle the picture was taken at created a figure like glare off the panal wall behind the 2 investigators.  We could be wrong and this may actually be a paranormal picture.  You be the judge of that.

This picture was taken during a Christmas party at a clients house that is part of my family. (family or not the client confidentiality still applies) In the mirror there is what appears to be a face that is not human to it is to the bottom and the left of the mirror.  Most would think that it is the sweater that is in the picture since the patterns seem to match...but if you look again the patterns don't match.  The color scheme is backwards.  This is actually a Christmas Wreath with lights on it that is hanging out of frame off of a mantle peice.  This picture took a long time to disprove and everyone who was there that night had to go over the picture to figure out what it was, but it was well worth the wait to debunk it.

On the left side of this picture there is what appeared to me originally as a stream of energy or ectoplasm.  I have over looked this picture several times with no explaination, so I started looking back over all the investigation photographs and found that in the same room there was a ballon with a purple and gold string that is floating just out of frame.  I personally thought it was out of the frame completely when the picture was taken, but upon further investigation of the photo the angle and colors match perfectly.

For the longest time this picture caught in a local cemetary a couple miles from here appeared to me to be paranormal.  In the picture you can see a small pair of tennis shoes sitting directly behind me.  This picture puzzled me since as far as I knew of there was nothing of that nature by this gravestone or the plot at all.  Even though I have several pictures of this bench where we recorded numerous cold spots and caught a few EVP.  I went back to the cemetary in the daylight and found my "ghostly" shoes.  They are a small pair of tennis shoes that were placed there because of the 10 year old child buried in this family plot.  After seeing the exact location of these shoes I went back and looked over all of my photos again to see if they were in any other pictures and I just didn't notice, and the truth is that the shoes were there the whole time the camera flash of my old digital camera were quite dim which is why i didn't notice them, but I am glad I did.

If you would like to comment on these pictures and think that they may actually be paranomal and would like to explain why you think this please e-mail me at: segraparanormal@yahoo.com.  Please title the E-Mail as False Picture Evaluation.  We appreciate all other investigators input.

That is all for now, but we will update as we catch more.
