Courthouse Employees Hunt Ghost<br> <i>New Security System Captures Haunting Images</i>
WBAL ^ | 6 Aug 04 | Associated Press

CHESTERTOWN, Md. -- The word "ghost" is hot on the lips of Kent County Court House employees.

A new $75,000 security system installed July 1 hasn't caught any criminals, but it did capture some haunting images of what appears to be a strange light "walking" in one stairwell.

"It didn't show up to the eye, but it showed up on tape," said security officer Phillip Price.

Security personnel first saw the light while looking at a surveillance tape recorded July 29, and it appeared live for more than an hour the next day.

After noticing the light, Price walked up the stairs and didn't see a thing. But downstairs, where by then a crowd of employees had gathered to watch, the video monitor revealed the strange light proceeding ahead of Price, stopping when he stopped and starting when he started.

At one point, those watching the video feed saw Price walk through the anomaly, they said. That was about the time that Price said he felt something.

I have tried to photograph orbs in cemetaries but have never had any luck. My grandaughter went to Washington DC last spring with her 8th grade class. She took only disposable cameras & in photos of one building there are many orbs above the childrens heads.

I confess: It was me.
I was just having a little fun with them.
Hey, it gets tiring tracking down and investigating so many candidates and issues. A guys gotta have a laugh once in a while.

Yeah, we are having a very "Fall-like" weekend. Fall is my favorite time of year... when you get that cool air, the changing of the leaves, football, hockey, tailgating, Halloween ... there's nothing like it!!

I used to be very lucky at catching orbs on film. Now that I have started to learn more about photography and bought a better camera I can't think of one orb that I've seen in one of my pictures in a good few years. Go figure.
