From Orb to Speaking Phantom?

Reports of the appearance of a phantom called Bien Boa are some of the strangest stories in the literature of the paranormal.  One such account by Professor Charles Richet can be read beginning on page 269 of Volume 2 of the Annals of Psychical Research.  On page 179 of Volume 3 of the Annals of Psychical Research, we read this about this Bien Boa:

"This witness had also been present at the building-up of B. B. outside the cabinet in the form of a whirling white ball, from which there presently proceeded first the head and then the whole body ; he has also heard B. B. speak and give moral advice."

A similar account appears on page 416 of the same volume, which talks about a white ball that "in less than two minutes transformed itself into a materialised spirit."  (The page numbers I just gave refer to the page numbers appearing in the volume, rather than the PDF file page numbers.)

The Wonder Wall

Photo date: May 28, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

We see below an unaltered photo of a wall on the side of a stairway at Grand Central Station in New York.  The wall looks as if it has undergone some astonishing transformation.  In the center of the photo, it looks as if two or three heads are emerging out of the wall.

Here (from April, 2015) is a photo showing the normal appearance of this wall (the photo was taken at a slightly different angle).

Below is another photo (from May 28) showing what looks like a similar "transformation effect" on the same wall.

Here (also from May 28, 2015) is still another photo showing a similar effect on the same wall. It looks as if two strange heads are emerging out of the wall.

I repeatedly get utterly anomalous effects like this, as I have documented in my posts labeled "apparition cluster."

A Smile From the Stone?

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

The photo below shows a stairway at Grand Central Station in New York. On the edge of the stairway, we seem to see an astonishing transformation. What ordinarily looks like common stone now looks like a grinning face.

Here is another photo from the same day in which the same anomaly appeared:

Below is a photo (from another day) showing what this part of the stairway normally looks like:

Undulating Orb Next to a Weird "Transformation"

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

Below is a photo taken in Grand Central Station in New York (click on the image to get it in the highest resolution). On this date they still hadn't taken down the Christmas decorations.

Here is a closeup of the top right of the photo above.

We see what seems to be a speeding orb. The photo seems to show the photographic effect known as ghosting, when an object is photographing moving much faster the camera speed. Incredibly, we seem to see an S-shaped, undulating motion within a small space, something that is utterly impossible for a bird or insect to accomplish. This is utterly anomalous motion.

There is an even more startling effect shown in the closeup: what looks like a paranormal transformation. The red bow of the Christmas wreath looks as if has been transformed into two creature faces with teeth, one resembling the head of a dinosaur. The "creature" on the right seems to have two rows of teeth. The same bow was repeatedly photographed on the same day without any such appearance.

I have photographed many similar anomalies at Grand Central Station, where my photos often seem to show some ordinary, familiar thing transformed into some paranormal-looking thing. See my photos labeled "apparition cluster" for similar examples. 

A Cute and Cuddly Apparition?

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

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station in New York.

Below is a closeup cropped from the middle of the photo. We see a figure with what looks a strange furry red head, pushing a bicycle. The bicycle looks as if it has been strangely transformed, so that one of its wheels appears to have a face. Numerous other anomalies can be discovered by zooming in on various parts of the top photo.

A little to the right of this figure, we see the two faces shown below, which seem to be much larger than human faces. It seems to be another mysterious apparition, like the many that I have previously photographed at this site. But who said apparitions have to be scary? These guys look pretty cute and cuddly.

See my posts labeled "apparition cluster" for many similar photos of shocking apparition anomalies.

Startling Photographic Anomalies

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

The following unaltered photo was taken in Grand Central Station in New York (click to see the image at its full resolution).

Here the astonishing "apparition cluster effect" (shown in many other posts on this site)  has produced multiple anomalies. For example, there is what looks like a strange creature in the top of the image (below is a closeup cropped from the photo above).

Below is a closeup cropped from the right part of the image shown at the top of this post. We see a bunch of strange paranormal-looking creatures.

If you load the top photo into a photo viewer such as Windows Photo Viewer, and use "zoom and pan" to inspect small parts of the photo, you can discover multiple weird anomalies like the one above.

Smiling Orb Flanked by "Apparitions"

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

The following unaltered photo was taken in Grand Central Station in New York.

Below is a closeup of the blue orb. We see a smiling face.

The photo at top also seems to show the apparition cluster effect I described earlier.  Below is a closeup of the area below the orb. We seem to see a cute-looking figure that looks like it has a head like a toucan bird,. Below it is a mysterious swarm of lights.

Above the orb, we see the following strange sight:

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.

Inexplicable Transformations of a Pedestrian Traffic Signal

Photo dates:  January 26, 2015 and March 5, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I will now show some photographs showing some astonishing transformations of a New York city pedestrian traffic signal. The signal in question has only 2 things that it normally shows. One is an orange hand, and the other is a stylized image of someone walking. The orange hand (a "Stop" icon) is shown when you are not supposed to cross the street. The walker icon is shown when it is okay to walk across the street.

 Here is what the orange hand icon looked like on March 5, 2015.

The authentic, unaltered photos below are from January 26, 2015, and they show exactly the same traffic signal shown above. But they  do not show an orange hand being displayed in the pedestrian traffic signal. Instead, they seem to show an orange dog-like creature.

Here is the first photo.

Here is another photo (the "dog" now appears to be looking upward):

Here is another photo:

Here is another photo (the "dog" now appears to be looking to the right):

Here is another photo:

Here is another photo:

Note that most of the faces are slightly different. That's how it often works when I photograph an apparition series. The photographs will seem to show some physical transformation, and the transformation keeps changing a little from one photo to the next.

I observed the same "apparition transformations" on March 5, 2015, the same date the first photo was taken. Here is the first photo from that day. We seem to see 2 mysterious creatures in the traffic signal, one orange and one green.

Here is another photo from the same day.

Here is another photo from the same day, showing what looks like a slightly different green creature on the right.

Here is one additional photo from the same day.

This astonishing series of photos might shock someone else to the core, but they are not all that surprising to me, given the incredibly strange series of photographic anomalies that I have been recording on this blog.

A Fine Floating Face in Grand Central Station

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

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Station. This photo has been uploaded directly from the camera, and was not saved in any photo editor. Click here to download the photo (DSC06673) at its full resolution with its original EXIF data (or click below to see the photo at slightly less than full resolution).

Near the top center of the photo we see a near-perfect face on an orb. The photo below was cropped from the top center.

Below is a photo cropped from a little to the left of the center of the top photo. Here we have the type of anomaly that I am calling an apparition cluster. We see some very strange things. On the right of the photo, we see something looking like an elephant head that seems to be forming out of a wall. Also, one or two people seem to have strange dark clouds around their heads. We also seem to see two creatures with strange heads.

Many other paranormal-looking things can be found by clicking on the link given above, downloading the full photo, and then bringing up the photo in a photo editor and zooming in (Windows Photo Viewer works best for this task, since it has "zoom and pan" functionality). Below is one example cropped from near the center of the top photo. We see what looks like two strange creatures kissing each other.

Below is a closeup cropped from the bottom left corner of the top photo. We seem to see a bird creature, and some other strange creature.

What can I say, folks? My camera keeps "hallucinating."

Orbs Align Under Christmas Wreath

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

Below is an unaltered photograph taken in Grand Central Station in New York. Click to see the image at its full resolution. We see two blue orbs aligning under a Christmas wreath.  This seems like another example of orb selective positioning (see my posts labeled "orb selective positioning" for many similar examples).

The photo below is cropped from the center left of the top photo. We seem to see some strange huge furry creatures strutting about, as well as something strange emerging out of the wall on the left (something similar to what was shown repeatedly in this post). It seems like another example of an apparition cluster.

An Inexplicable Series of Photographic "Apparitions"

In this blog post, I will show some authentic unaltered photos that show dramatic evidence of the apparition cluster effect at Grand Central Station.  The series will show what looks like a paranormal transformation of a white wall at the station, viewed from the opposite end of the main terminal.  What is most amazing in this series is that we will see what is apparently an apparition, but the apparition will persist through several different photos taken on the same day.

I call what we will see a series of apparitions because what we will see in the photos below is something so outrageous that it presumably cannot be a match to physical reality. 

 First let's look at the way this wall looks on a normal day (this photo was taken on February 26, 2015). The wall we will focus on is the one shown on the left side of this photo.

Now below are a series of photos from January 2, 2015 (there were some Christmas decorations that still hadn't been taken down on that day).

Here is the first photo, showing what looks like a fairly normal white wall on the left side of the photo, although there are some very strange-looking things to the right.

Here is another photo taken a little later on the same day, showing the same area. Now we see the white wall on the left looking much different. What looks like a snout has protruded out of the wall.  Also, it looks as if a huge bear-like creature is looking at the wall.

Here is another photo taken a little later on the same day, showing the same area, along with what looks like freaky-looking creatures. Again, we seem to see a huge snout protruding out of the wall, although it looks a little different, drooping down more.

Here is another photo taken a little later on the same day, showing the same area, along with what looks like freaky-looking creatures. Again, we seem to see a huge snout protruding out of the wall. In the middle, there is also a faint blue orb that seems to have a smile and an eye.

Here is another photo taken a little later on the same day, showing the same area, along with what looks like some strange horse-like creature.  Again, we seem to see a huge snout protruding out of the wall.

Here is another photo taken a little later on the same day, showing the same area, along with what looks like strange-looking creatures (which seem to include a strange creature seeming to hang down from the ceiling). Again, we seem to see a huge snout protruding out of the wall.

Here is one more photo from the same date, again apparently showing a huge snout protruding out of the wall, along with what looks like some strange creature.

Now here is a photo taken of the same area on January 7, 2014, five days later. By this time the Christmas tinsel at the top of the photos above was removed. Look at the intersecting white planes on the left of this photo, directly above the area between the first and second persons on the left. This is exactly the area where the above photos show a huge white "bear snout" or "pig snout" protruding. There presumably was no such snout on January 2, except for the fleeting transformation that occurred as shown in these photos.

For lack of a better term, I will call this an apparition repetition -- an apparition seen repeatedly at the same spot.
