FALSE POSITIVE IMAGES




I have made mistakes, but I have never made the mistake of claiming that I have never made one. -- James Gordon Bennett

Along the way, we have encouraged people to take pride in ghost hunting. With a degree of fun comes a stronger degree of integrity. It has been said that there are no experts in the ghost hunting field. I whole-heartedly agree. But, professionalism comes from the manner in which one conducts oneself in whatever field he/she pursues.

We have provided for you, in this website, tips to help you avoid obtaining false positive anomalous images. We strictly adhere to our recommendations, in keeping with high integrity and honesty. By no means should any ghost hunter fool themselves, or others, into believing something natural caught on film is supernatural. In seeking truth, this would go against everything we stand for and pride ourselves on.

True, because there are no real experts, no one is flawless. Ghost hunters everywhere capture natural phenomena on film. The next step is to recognize the difference. In helping others, as well as ourselves, we are posting examples of images attributed to natural occurrences. We have formulated more ghost hunting tips based on some of the unintentional mishaps that have come our way. We must first recognize and understand our mistakes, then learn from them. We can only hope that others incorporate the same philosophy.

Here they are, some intentional, others mistakes, all of them natural phenomena. Either way, they are here for you to learn from. We do suggest you view them in order and do not bypass the captions below them. There is not one single photo here attributed to the supernatural.


Below is a list of common mistakes/mishaps found among most people at some point in time. Click the name of the pics you'd like to see.
