"I ain't afraid of no ghost."
Just another night at the library...
As I have mentioned in my other posts, the monastery was a very popular sight for Katie and I to investigate. I want to share with you another one of our encounters.
We, again, brought the videocamera with us in hopes of finding something interesting! We parked in the parking lot closest to the entrance of the Cumberland Monastery and I shut my car off in order to hear any sounds more distinctly. Katie started asking questions to see if any spirits might be present and could maybe respond back. It was a bit windy that night so I remember thinking that it might be hard to capture any voices since it's possible we wouldn't be able to hear it. I was hoping for visual evidence.
After not having much action occur, Katie handed the video camera to me. I asked the usual questions, "Is there anyone there that would like to speak to us?" "Why are you here?" "Can you make a noise to let us know that you are here?." Then, I decided to ask, "Could you walk across the videocamera to let us know that you are here with us?" Suddenly, at that very instant, the screen got VERY blurry and I could not longer see out of it. I quickly showed Katie and she was just as flabberghasted as I was. I tried focusing the camera on other things and towards different areas where the lights weren't shining- it was still blurry. After a good 10 to 15 seconds, the screen went back to normal as if nothing had ever been wrong. I did not even adjust anything, I simply held the camera steady. I could not believe it. Katie and I rewound the tape to see it again and it is almost uncanning how at that very moment I asked something to walk in front of the camera, the screen immediately became blurred.
Katie and I like to come up with any possible reason for the occurrence before jumping to conclusions. We thought that the tall street lights might have caused it do this but if I was holding the camera still, why did that happen? And, why was it that when I focused that camera back on that exact spot, that the screen was completely visible before and after that had happened? It was too much of a coincidence to be a perk in the camera.
