Another strange artifact and a new camera

On Christmas morning I got a digital camera and printer from my wife. I'm new to digital having always used 35 mm cameras in the past. I read enough of the instructions to take pictures and print them. One of the pictures that I snapped was of our Christmas tree and part of the parlour that it is standing in. On the right wall of the parlour appears a disk shape. just like the ones I snapped on Halloween night. The Halloween parlour shot (taken on an old 35mm camera) showed the disk to be on the back wall. The Christmas shot shows a disk on the right wall of the parlour. Two different types of cameras, same room, months apart, both showing a strange disk shaped artifact but each in a different part of the room. I really would like to know what is causing these abnormalities. If natural, I'd like to correct the problem. If not natural....then what?????

Wife has vision

I really wasn't sure how to title this one. I think there is a good chance that my wife experienced a waking dream; however, she is firmly convienced she did not. Last night, well after we turned in, I was aroused by by wife shouting out. Thinking she had a dream, I went rapidly back to sleep. This morning she asked if I heard her shout out last night. I said I had but assumed it was in her sleep. She insisted she was awake at the time. She said she was awakened by the older dogs low growls. She couldn't figure what he was disturbed about so she aroused to see if she could hear anything that might have set him going. When she looked up from the bed she saw a white misty form standing beside the bed and thats when she shouted. She said the misty form vanished with her shout and and the dog stopped growling. So, I was awakened by the shout, but being half asleep I saw nothing but went back to sleep. Our older dog must have been aware of something to be making warning growls....but what? Was it a waking dream, or did she experience something paranormal???? Our younger dog could sleep through a train wreck, so shes no help here.

Unknown artifacts in photos taken on Halloween

One other thing that happened during the period that I was not able to access my blog. This occured at mid-night, October 31st. I had several readers request that I should attempt to take pictures around mid-night on Halloween. Whether or not I think that Halloween is anything significant or not, taking some shots around the house at roughly the stroke of mid-night certainly wouldn't cost much, so I decided to try it. Although I have better cameras (I still use the 35mm film type) the one that was loaded with film that had a number of shots already on it is an old Anso point and shoot. Truth to be told, I didn't expect to get anything but pictures of the rooms I was taking, I think next year, I'll try some experimental work with better cameras. At midnight, (the Parlour clock hadn't struck yet) with the house lights out, I shot a flash picture of the front stairs and another, as the Parlour clock struck 12:00, down the front hall. I immediately moved into the Parlour and shot a third picture and then moved upstairs to the Greenroon where I shot a fourth shot. I finished the roll off with shots of my dogs a few days later and sent the film away for processing. When the film returned the pictures were bright, clear, and should have been quite satisfactory. But not quite, on three of the four shots I made on Halloween night, there appeared round disk like artifacts. One large one going up the wall (or appearing to) on the right side of the front hall staircase. The picture down the front hall did not show anything unusual. The picture in the Parlour shows a slightly smaller disk in the back wall; smaller but quite evident. I almost missed the disk shape in the Greenroom, but it is definitely there over the headboard of the bed. Smaller and fainter than the other two, but definitely there. The film processor said the disks are on the film . The film is not flawed nor are they the result of development bubbles. The professional photographer who lives across the street had no explaination for them; he'd never seen anything like them. I was a semi-professional photographer in my younger years and processed my own film, but I had never encountered anything quite like them. They are very difficult to discribe. Many of you have possibly seen photos with white globs floating in them. Some people call them "spirit balls", they do not look like them. These disks are perfectly round, they are well defined even though the background shows right through them. I had several shots of both the inside and outside of this house on that roll of film, but the disks are only seen on three of the four shots I made at midnight on Halloween. If I ever learn how to post photos, I will. At the present time there are only four worth considering. These three plus the one I took some months ago that has a "smear, or discoloration, or something" that is about head high on the front stairs. To me it looks like a womans head. My wife does not see a womans head just a discolored spot. Two other neighbors say they can see a head but not sure of the sex, a nephew says it looks like a portrait of a woman to him. It may only be a smear or blotch; I really don't know. I'm quite aware that flying debrie and dust motes can come through as a glowing spot, but these do not look like them at all. Any of you with a logical explaination would be most welcome.

It took a while

It took a while but I've finally learned how to post this google blog. Even though this is the time of year that this old house becomes active; it has been relatively quiet so far this season. During the period between transfering the blog from AOL to Google, we did have one strange occurance. It occured during the cool autumn, I don't recall the exact date. My wife and I we're taking the dogs for their nightly walk. My wife had the older grey Schnauzer as he is better behaved than the fiesty little black Schnauzer that I was walking. As we crossed the front lawn , Shadow, the younger dog, started running in circles and jerking in the leash. I knew almost immediately what had happened, She had been bee stung. Rushing her inside, I found the bee still on her foot. Anyone who has an inside pet dog knows how big a baby they can be when hurt. We tried everything we could think of to take the hurt out of the sting but the dog was still making a big thing of it. My wife was worried because she was scheduled to work the next day. I told her to go to bed in one of our other bedrooms and I'd take care of Shadow until she settled down. She did finally settle down and went to sleep with the hurt paw stretched out beside her like a little furry school patrolboy. It was about 2 am at this point. Probably around 4 am my wife partially awakened me coming back to bed. I vaguely remember her saying "I'll tell you about it in the morning". The next morning the pup was fine and wanting to play. My wife had an interesting tale to tell. She had gone to bed in the Greenroom. I have no idea why. The greenroom has had various strange happenings over the years. I really thought she'd choose the Noah room as it has the larger, more comfortable, bed and has had very few (only two) strange episodes. Nonetheless she bedded down in the Greenroom and had gone to sleep when someone got in bed with her and , thinking it was me, asked how Shadow was? No answer, so she turned toward the visitor, there was no one there but that side of the bed was slumped, like somebody was there. She ran her hand across the bed and felt the dip, no one was there. Then she said the slump righted its self like some one had gotten up. There is a window across from the bed. She said she saw nothing, nothing moved in front of the window. She decided maybe Shadow was settled and she better come back to the masterbedroom. In her shoes, I probably would have made the same decision. Strange and I have no explaination. However I did mention this episode on a different forum so I can go back and get the date. I will add it in.
