More Testimony of a "Spirit Ball"

The account I quoted in my previous post was the very interesting story of a woman who reported an orb entering into her chest, an orb the woman felt strongly was her grandmother, who died on the same day (as the woman was told a few hours later).  A quite similar story is told in this account of a woman's experience the month after her mother died:

"One night in October, I had just gotten in bed when I saw a ball of softly glowing mist slowly descend upon my bed from the corner of the ceiling.  I was speechless as I saw it slowing coming towards me.  Somehow I knew it was my mother, even though I couldn't discern a body or a shape.  The mist enveloped me as I lay in bed and filled me with feelings of love and calm.  I had the presence of mind not to move or open my eyes, because somehow I knew that it would spoil the moment.  I just forced myself to remain calm and focus on every moment so that I could remember the experience. 

My mother communicated telepathically with me by repeating my name over and over, saying, 'Eve, Eve, Eve, I love you so much.  I love you so much.  Don't worry about me.  Where I am, there's complete freedom, freedom, freedom!  Tell your brothers and sisters I love them and I will always be with you all.'  The mist slowly gathered itself in a ball, once again, and slowly ascended to the ceiling, then it was gone.  I immediately opened my eyes and had this incredulous feeling when I realized that I had just been visited by my mother!"

We have four similarities between this account and the account quoted in my previous post:

(1) In both accounts an orb or ball is seen by a woman, with the orb or ball coming from the ceiling.
(2) In both accounts the orb or ball touches a woman's body, either enveloping it or seeming to enter into it.
(3) In both accounts there there then follows what seems like a telepathic communication between the woman and her mother or grandmother, with a message of love.
(4) In both accounts the orb or ball is seen to exit from the ceiling.

The report of the orb appearing from the "corner of the ceiling" is interesting to me, as the first orb photo I ever took (years ago) showed an orb in the corner of the ceiling.

Speaking of spooky round shapes appearing at the corners of ceilings, here is another account of such a thing, made by a woman describing her father's death, and comparing what she saw to a corporate logo that is kind of a blurry ring shape:

"I had turned to my right and as I turned back around my eyes glanced up toward the corner of the ceiling on my  right and I saw a circle of mist hovering in the corner.  The only way I can describe the circle is that it looks exactly like the Lucent Technologies circle on their sign, like a wide circle with kind of a tail escaping the circle  but it wasn't red it was a hazy mist/fog.  I have reviewed this in my mind a thousand times since his death and I think my dad's spirit had already left his body."

Slightly similar, but not involving an orb, is the testimony of this witness who reports seeing a "mist in the corner of the room" which she identified as her father. She got a phone call later that day telling her that her father had died of a heart attack. 

She Says an Orb Flew Into Her Chest When Her Grandma Died

I've been reading some remarkable accounts at the sites https://www.oberf.org and https://www.adcrf.org.  For example, in this account a man reports having a cardiac arrest that put him in a coma for several days. He says,  "The bass player and the singer both agreed, though, that at the time of my collapse, they saw my spirit rise up out of my body." Similarly, this account states, "I was shocked to see a mist leave from his head, which instantly turned into an exact duplicate of his body," and in  this account a man says his wife "witnessed a mist-like substance leaving the head of a patient who died." Similarly, in this account someone states, "Momma said she actually saw a thin white mist rise above the bed" when someone died in her arms.

In this remarkable account, reported only this month, a woman reports seeing and feeling an orb at the time of her grandmother's death:

"I was on a camping trip, down by the Columbia River. I was asleep, and was awoken, around 5 in the morning. I was on my back, looking straight up at the ceiling and noticed I couldn't move. But, I wasn't scared at all. Suddenly,  a bright orb of light came down, through the ceiling and flew into my chest. My vision was filled with the brightest, whitest light I have ever seen, but it didn't bother me. As soon as the orb entered my chest, I knew it was my grandmother Cecilia, she was speaking to me, inside my mind. She came to tell me goodbye, and to tell me everything was going to be all right, and she loved me. Then she shot back out of my chest, and back up through the ceiling, and I could move again. I woke my boyfriend up, and told him, my Grandma just died. And he laughed and said, no, go back to sleep it was just a dream. Later that morning about, around 8 in the morning, my brother in law, came and found where we were camping, and told me my grandma had died early that morning, and I said yeah I already knew."

This is the latest example of someone "ghost-told" of a death. I have collected 100 such cases from the literature of paranormal phenomena.  In a very large fraction of these cases, someone sees an apparition on the same day of someone's death, and becomes convinced that such a person has died, and soon finds out later that the person did die on that day, often far away.  You can read about 100 such cases below:

A Ghostly Mist Among Them?

Photo date: June 3, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see what looks like some strange luminous mist floating about.  It only appeared in this one photo, not in any of the next photos. It's not smoke, which I have never seen in any of many hours I have photographed at this location.

Bright Orb Mingles With the Crowd

Photo date: March 28, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see a bright orb floating within a crowd. Was it looking over a man's shoulder?

Below is a closeup from the bottom right of this photo. We see some strange details. What is that thing at the bottom? It rather looks like some ghostly translucent animal figure.

Did a Ghostly Mist Make Him Look Headless?

Photo date:March 7, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. We see the thorax and legs of a man, but where is his head? It is as if some ghostly mist is blocking his head.

I have 12 other photos showing this type of effect. In each photo it is as if some ghostly mist is swirling about inside the station.

Apparitions in the Station?

Photo date: February 29, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The strange photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York.  On the left we see a woman with a green shirt who seems to have some ghostly-looking blob floating in front of her.  We see something similar in front of the guy on the right with the backpack. It almost looks like some ghostly dog face floating in front of that guy. In the middle we see two anomalous-looking figures, one of which almost seems to have a big bird head. In the bottom left corner is someone who seems to have giant protruding ears.

Bright Orb and the "Ghost Mist"

Photo date: December 10, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York.  We see a large bright orb. (This looks quite different from how a camera flash looks when I happen to photograph it with this camera.)

Below is a closeup of the bottom of the photo. We seem to see some strange mist-like cloud that is partially blocking someone's body.

Some similar weirdness is shown in the photo below, taken on November 14, 2015 at Grand Central Terminal. It as if some weird ghostly mist is swirling about the people I photographed.

See here for other photos showing this strange effect.

Engulfed by a Ghostly Mist?

Photo date: November 28 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York.  We see what I seem to have photographed several times before: what looks like a ghostly mist swirling around in the station, obscuring our view of some of the people in it.

A Spooky-Looking Throng

Photo date: October 19, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York.  We see a very strange-looking crowd that looks all dark and faceless. Near the front of the crowd, it looks almost as if some ghostly mist is blocking some of the details.

When I look at this photo, I can't help thinking that something very strange is going on. You might explain it as just some kind of poor camera focus, but that doesn't really work -- for how come we can clearly read the words "street passage subway" at the top?

The Orb and the Ghostly Mist

Photo date: September 23, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken at Grand Central Terminal in New York.  We see a bright orb at the top right of the photo.

Below is a closeup of the bottom left corner of the photo (I used the IrfanView "Auto-adjust colors" menu option on this closeup).  We see something strange I have photographed repeatedly at this location: what looks like some strange ghostly mist floating about, blocking us from seeing some of the figures behind the "mist."

I will now be using the label "ghostly mist indoors" to label photos in which I see this effect. See here for a set of 8 previous photos in which I observed a similar strange effect.

Eerie Plus Eerie Plus Eerie

Photo date: September 18, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The strange unaltered photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. There are three eerie things in this photo. The first is the enigmatic figure in the lower center of the photo.  The second eerie thing is the figure in the middle center of the photo, who seems to have two legs but neither a thorax nor a head.   Could some strange ghostly cloud be blocking our view of those things? The third eerie thing is the figure in the top center of the photo.

Bright Orb Above the "Phantom Presence"

Photo date: August 26, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. We see at the top of the photo a bright blue orb with a vivid color (right click to see the photo at its full resolution).

A closeup of the bottom left corner of this photo shows something that looks very strange.  We see on the right top part of the photo what looks rather like some translucent white ghost that is mingling with some of the people.

A Floating Green Orb and Equally Strange Details

Photo date: September 1, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York City (right-click to see the photo at its full resolution). We see a bright green orb mysteriously floating above the commuters. But this is by no means the strangest thing in the photo.

Below is a closeup showing some of the puzzling details in the lower half of the photo.

Below is another closeup showing an equally puzzling detail. Is that a huge dark head resting on the station floor?

Can You See the Luminous "Dragon"?

Photo date: August 16, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below shows the famous circular information desk at the center of Grand Central Station.  Right click to see the photo at its full resolution. In this photo there are two very strange anomalies.

The first anomaly is near the center of the photo. There seems to be some person at the information window, but somehow her body seems to part of some head of an animal (or so it appears, perhaps due to some strange coincidence or trick of the light).

Even stranger is what we see in the right part of the photo. We seem to see some light on the floor that looks like some kind of strange dragon.  

A Crescendo of Anomalous Weirdness

Photo date: February 20, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

Below is a photo taken in Grand Central Station in New York. This photo was uploaded directly from the camera. Click here to see the photo (DSC09387)  in its full resolution. Or click below to see the photo in slightly lower resolution.

In this photo we see several strange orbs floating among the commuters. The biggest one is shown below. We seem to see an apparition to the left of the orb, a strange alien-looking head.

Near the middle of the photo, we see the strange apparitions shown below. Walking among the commuters seem to be two or three bipeds with strange paranormal heads.

On the right edge of the photo, in the middle, we see the following apparition cluster, which seems to include some strange paranormal-looking figures and a floating misty apparition.

In the middle of the West Balcony, we see the following, which seems to show  an animal apparition.

I have no explanation for why these weird things show up in my photos at this place. I merely know that I have seen effects like these many times, as you can see by looking at my posts with the label "apparition cluster." The closeups I have shown here are only some of the many shockingly strange things that can be seen by clicking on the link at top, loading the full image into a photo editor, and then zooming in to inspect the small details of the photo.

A Mysterious Cloudy Triangle

Photo date: January 2, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

There are quite a few strange things that can be discovered by zooming in on this photo taken in Grand Central Station. One is the bear-like face that has seemingly emerged out of the white wall on the left (see another post for multiple pictures of this). Another strange thing is the mysterious misty purple triangle in the middle.

Below is a closeup of the strange object.
