Strange white forms on photos

I have a spy camera that looks very much like an air freshner. One other time I used it and obtained one picture out of 170 plus shots that looked like smoke in a very dark hallway. That shot would not print out so I figured the heck with it. At some point in the past I set this air freshner camera in my parlour, aimed at the hall door that leads to the front door of my house. I do not remember when I did it. My wife wanted me to help put down some new rugs she purchased in the parlour as she was tired of two of them and the one near the front windows was badly faded. So we were working in the parlour the biggest part of the day and I saw the "airfreshner" and it suddenly struck me the thing was probably loaded. Getting it down from the showcase, I laid it aside until I got a break to check it out. Needless to say the batteries were totally dead. I removed the chip from the camera and ran it through a photo printer to see what, if anything that I got. Good thing the printer has a moniter so I could check it out. I certainly didn't need 640 pictures of my parlour door. However, there were a few shots of me coming or going through the door. But I have two shots out of that 640 that are unexplainable. Neither of them look like the transparent disks that I have gotten previously; especially at Halloween. They are difficult to explain. I'll try; I wish I knew how to post the actual print, but I don't. The first one is in the darkened doorway. You can vaguely see the front stairs and pictures on the wall going up the front stairs. It appears as a fuzzy ball, about the size of a dime on the print. That is, a dime would just about cover it. It is definitely in front, that is, between the stairs and the camera. To me it looks like an out of focus space picture of the planet Jupiter as seen through a telecope. It is lightly banded with one darker indistinct band toward the top. There is nothing that high in the hallway, that could be causing it.The doorway and pictures hanging on the wall in the parlour are sharp. The second picture shows an indistinct white patch with orange and blue tones.Actually what it looks like is creepy as heck. I'm going to have to show this to other people and see if they see what I see. Maybe my imagination is simply in overdrive. There was a scientist, a number of years ago that conjectured what dinosaurs would look like if the had continued to evolve over the past 65 million years or so. A kind of humanlike figure with a reptilian head, slightly modified. The white patch in this second picture looks like a reptilian or maybe birdlike head. Only the frontal part of the head is visible as it was located in that doorway and the hall behind it was very dark. What is highlighting this figure appears to be coming in from the front, where our front windows are located. Optical illusion or not, it is the creepiest photo I've gotten so far. This time it is on a digitale chip.

Halloween is coming

Nothing new to report on the house since the murmering episode. But in a recent trip into town I noticed that several stores and shops have started their Halloween merchandise. So Halloween is coming. This is the time of year when I sometimes get some interesting artifacts in my photographs. I had lousy luck last year and it seems the year before last wasn't especially good either. I am hoping to catch some disks or something unusual this year. Three, four, and five years ago I got several photos with the mysterious transparent orbs. I have no idea why I haven't anything for the last two Halloweens. I plan to do pretty much the same this year with both a film and digital cameras. Do any of you have any suggestions of things I might try to catch these strange artifacts on film or disk? Its always a good idea to plan ahead. We have approximately two months to come up with a plan.

Murmerings

We got a real charge last night. The dogs and I turned in around midnight. My wife had already turned in, in the guestroom as her leg pack is still operating. I had played with both dogs til we were all pooped. Then the murmering started. Both dogs went nuts and ran to the bedroom door barking. The murmering was loud enough to quickly get our attention but not loud enough to understand any of the mumbling. The dogs were so insistant that I figured perhaps I should check out the house so taking "The Judge" in hand I left the bedroom. First I checked with my wife but she said she hadn't heard anything and it probably was outside as the bedroom window was open. I said,"No way" the dogs are barking at the bedroom door not the window. My wife is getting hard of hearing and the guestroom is in a wing of the house. I told my wife I was going to release our dogs and see if they could track down the noise. I went back to the bedroom and opened the door for the dogs but by this time the murmering had stopped and the dogs were just milling around the hallway. Then the murmering resumed and the black younger dog took off toward the rear stairway barking like mad but the older dog went in the opposite direction toward the front stairway and there I stood, undecided. I finally followed the older dog and found him sniffing the air and going in circles in the front hallway. We couldn't hear the murmering anymore, but I could hear the younger dog barking so I thouight we should check her out. We went through the parlour and when we opened the door to the dining room we saw the younger dog barking at and pawing the wall beside the doorway into the Library. She has had barking fits at that wall from time to time for months. I got her quieted down. We waited to hear more murmering, we didn't. So we went back to bed. What the heck is it we are hearing? It sure drives the dogs crazy. I cannot figure it out.

Strange digging noises

I tried to post this a day or so ago but it wouldn't publish. I have no idea why not. So I'm trying again. Night before last we retired to bed about 10:30. Things have changed a little here as my wife has had a major problem with her leg. Because she has to wear a wound vac for a few weeks and she's afraid the dogs will get tangled in the hoses on it; she has moved into our guest room (known as the Noah room). The dogs and I remain in the master bedroom. We don't have airconditioning but do have a large ceiling fan over the foot of the bed and I suspect thats why both of our schnauzers are suddenly interested in sleeping at the foot of the bed, although the younger of the two will often move more toward the headboard before morning. Last night we had all settled in for a good nights sleep. I was pretty much sound asleep when all of a sudden I hear this frantic digging noise. Any of you who have dogs will know what I mean. Generally its said that they are making themselves a bed. They dig frantically for a while then turn around three times and flop down and go to sleep. Last night the digging just kept going, finally I yelled "Rowdy stop that". When I looked toward the foot of the bed Rowdy was curled up and looking at me bleary eyed. Well I suppose he was bleary eyed, I couldn't see him that clearly in darkened room. But the digging was still evident and he was only reacting to my voice. He wasn't digging anything. The other dog was up almost even with my head in the bed and she was asleep, or at least looked like she was. I can tell you I turned on the light at the side of the bed in a hurry. As soon as the light came on the digging stopped. It had sounded like it was coming from the area of the heat register where the older dog normally sleeps. There was nothing there. There was nothing in the bedroom but us three. Yet what ever was digging had to be as big or bigger than my dogs. Yet my dogs ignored the episode completely. Finally, just figuring this old house was at it again I turned off the light and went back to sleep. Another mystery of thos old house.
