This page is dedicated to pictures I created to manipulate actual paranormal activity.

The reason I do this is to see if my investigators in the final stages of their training can tell the difference between actual paranormally active photographs and photographs that have been manipulated to appear paranormal.

I do this so that I know when it comes to evidence my investigators going over evidence I can trust them to know the difference.  I am working on audio test peices also.  

As I create more test photos they will be posted here.

In this picure I used a cigerette that can not be seen in frame, and let the smoke flow into the view of my camera.  The orb at the top is a reflection of a shiny beer can that was thrown into the tree just out of frame, but close enough for the flash to reflect off and create the orb.  The flash of course intensifies the smoke giving it a "ghostly" glow, and I tried to recreate the orb just for good measure to see if they could disprove it's appearance by some kind of other explanation, because most people see a mist and an orb and automatically think "paranormal activity".  Well not in this picture.

 This picture was created using a candle that we held up just out of frame.  This "mist" or "smoke" effect can be recreated in several ways.

In this picture there appears to be a slight mist in the background by the bushes, and some kind of strange anomalie on the bottom of the screen.  I did this odd color for a reason.  What you are actually seeing here is the top of a flame from a lighter, and the smoke coming off the flame.
