Subject: Finally I'm a believer

My wife and I visit Gettysburg often and I've always spent every minute possible on the battlefield after dark right up to the 10p.m. closing time. Although I've heard of the many ghost stories there over the years that's not why I would go out at night. It was more for the peace and quiet and lack of tourists. Also it's a good time to simply sit and imagine what it must have been like back during those fateful days in July, 1863. I have all of Mark Nesbitt's ghost books and videos and even had the pleasure of meeting him for breakfast a few years ago. Although the material was fun to watch and read I wasn't really a believer. I guess you could say I had a "show me" mentality. One night about 5 years ago I was doing some night shooting with a camcorder at Devil's Den. Nothing unusual was visible to the naked eye but after returning to the motel room and reviewing the film I saw a ghostly image fly right in front of me. It was a warm, clear evening and no one else was there except my wife who was hiding in my van. I never really thought much of it until I started doing a little web surfing and saw some of the ectoplasm photos. They looked very similiar to the image I captured on video. This past Thanksgiving I managed to talk my wife into going out after dark with me and much to my surprise she even went into the Triangular Field to try out her new digital camera. She took a few photos with nothing out of the norm. Then out of nowhere she got a great shot of ectoplasm right in front of her. She instantly wanted out of there. Anyway, I'm now a believer and plan on purchasing some "ghost hunting" tools. I already bought a nightshot sony camcorder and hope to get a tape recorder, Tri Field detector and maybe a few other goodies. Although I'm disabled thanks to a drunk driver many years ago I hope to get some good results. If anyone is interested the ectoplasm photo she took on Thanksgiving can be seen on a site she just made. (page 7) The address is:

Or if you prefer I can e-mail you the full size photo although it's rather large. (nearly 300 KB's)
I love your site and thank you for letting me tell how I became a believer.

Sincerly,
Tom
