Something strange shows up in 'haunted' theater during live report

Some say the Belvedere Theater in historic Central City, Colorado is one of the most "haunted" landmarks in the United States.

One more example of how Chris Moon is the biggest idiot on Earth. He is charismatic enough to fool a reporter who is "not a photographic expert." Chris Moon is a liar and I hope he decides to pursue legal action against me because I can show any court ample proof.

Hey, Fox31, great reporting....

not ghosts. please

Ummm...It's called dust people.

[Dr Carl]

I'm a photographer and a Dr. I am also ~very~ open-minded, yet am still an avid fan of the truth. I have taken lots of "orb" shots. One night while shooting and suspecting very fine dust particles, I patted my clothing before a couple of shots. Immediately following that test, the number of orbs multiplied very significantly. Where there was earlier the occasional one, now there were dozens or hundreds. Dust. Seems that using a flash is a requirement. I believe it's usually dust CLOSE to the camera/flash, NOT a million dust-miles away as was tested/demonstrated/photograph ed in that theater. That was a bad test. One might call it a poorly-written "study" (just like the ones that tout poisonous vaccination's safety). And please, don't get me wrong, I believe that we may not be alone in this universe, and that life might be expressed in more ways than we have already observed. Orbologists have said that there is a way to differentiate between real orbs and dust...something about a dot in the center?(or not)--I don't recall. 99.9% dust.

Sorry but it's dust. Very easy to create yourself. Go into a dark room with some dust, etc. Throw it into the air and take a flash photo. Yep, lots and lost of orbs.

[Nessa]

Sorry to say, but that's not proof enough for me especially AFTER he put all that dust in the air.

Don't get me wrong, I'm actually a believer and I've witnessed many strange things in my lifetime.

But the fact that he threw dust in the air and THEN took the shots, doesn't help the matter. Especially when the pics are taken in the same vicinity as the dust was just put. LOL!

[St_Dogbert]

Shenanigans!

[Coop]

Those are dust particles,or light reflection. So called "paranormal investigators" who try to pass that off as "ghosts" are ridiculous. All dust particles look different on camera.

[Steve]

If dust equals ghosts, then I have the most haunted house in the world.

The guy did a demo of what a picture of dust looked like in the air and then showed what the energy looked like. Unless there was some trickery involved I think it looked legit! I wonder what the cameraman had to say about it. Seems like baxter has a personal problem with moon.

[Makinen]

I have a hundred pictures just like that! Its dust! Small compact cameras illuminate very close dust particles and create spots. I find it very annoying.

Of course I have a problem with Moon! He's out there making a mockery of paranormal researchers. Some of us are honest and want to find the truth! Your comments about it looking legit show how woefully ignorant you are of the basics of photography. That is not an insult but a fact. Any good photographer will back me up on that.

[Insaniac]

Dust...ghosts...angel dust?

[gdog]

you people really have so little news to report in Colorado that you can do a 5 minute stand-up on this crap? seriously? Man, I'm moving to Colorado....

[GJFlash]

gdog, you would HATE it here. Colorado sucks! Plus, we're full.

haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahhahah ahahhahaha! Post of the day right there.

A mixture of dust and/or moisture. Probably dust, not ghosts. Too many orbs for one thing, unless they were having some sort of convention.

Also, anyone who mocks the possibility of paranormal activity should have to go see the movie "Paranormal Activity"...alone.

wow ghosts i totally believe in them i just never had an incounter

[Cat MacKinnon]

nothing says "creepy" like photos of light reflecting off of dust particles in a building that's over 100 years old.

[Dr Carl]

Baxter..."Any good photographer will back me up on that."...I already did. I am a great photographer and a scientist. The reporter's test was FLAWED.

[Sciencebeliever]

Try the same thing with a camera that has a detachable flash. Hold the flash more than a foot to the side of the camera and point it in the same direction as the camera (not toward it). Suddenly, it becomes impossible to get pictures of orbs. Small particles of dust in the air in front of the lens, too close to be in focus, catch the light from the flash built on to the camera because it's only 3 inches to the side of the lens. The out of focus, suddenly bright object appears as a blob in the photo.
