Check
out the team's last Haunt Hunts! Many paranormal urban myths
involve "orb photography". Several schools of thought
exhist on the origin of orbs, one being that an orb is a sure
sign of spirit life. Most often, orbs are the result of dust,
insects, or a camera lense flair. However, it's uncanny how
often our team Clairvoyant and Sensitive pick up on a conscious
spiritual presence invisible to the naked eye, and upon firing
off the cameras in the exact location of the alleged Presence,
the photo yields an orb.
The
Haunted Playground Team cannot prove or disprove the origins
of an energetic orb. However, the team has found that "true"
energy-related orb anomolies (defined as orbs that move on
a trajectory of their own, rather than surfing air currents,
and / or generate their own light source, rather than acting
as a reflective agent) are a rather solid haunting earmarker.
In these instances, orbs appear to co-exhist, and are perhaps
directly related to, active hauntings, or other associated
paranormal activity.
These
photos have passed our very thorough "is it dust, or
is it an orb?" test, and they will get you started. Check
back as we process more photos from ghosts hunts in such places
as New York City and the Titanic Graveyard in Halifax, Canada!
The
Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood
"Marilyn's Mirror"
View a larger photo
It
is said to have been Marilyn Monroe's favorite mirror
during her stays at The Roosevelt Hotel. Tammy was
drawn to this area, the mirror in particular. Upon
studying the mirror, Tammy felt a "draft"
coming from the bottom portions of the glass, and
indicated it was a portal. Danielle confirmed the
portal, and clocked a small being "inside"
the lower portion of the mirror that she was only
able to describe as a "small troll" or an
"angry baby-looking creature with a bald head,
a little under two feet tall".
Tammy snapped the photo -- notice four orbs, but most
stunningly, check out the small blue mystery figure
in the bottom section of the mirror!

Here's
a better look at the strange "troll like"
spectre caught in the mirror.
Tammy
researched Marilyn Monroe, and found that she had a
small dog. So far, the team is stumped as to what this
entity may be. Tammy believes it to be a dog, and Danielle
still feels it to be some sort of netherworld creature.
Whatever it is, it's a terrific piece of paranormal
photography.
Way to go Tammy! |

Tammy
was drawn suddenly to the chandelier, feeling a presence.
She snapped this photo, in which is a fine specimen
of 5 separate orbs, all grouped around the light fixture.

Here
is a closer look at two orbs in particular, whose colors
and definition in bright light are quite striking. |

The
team decided to kick off their Hollywood ghost hunt
with a classic dinner at Musso and Franks, a Hollywood
institution known for it's many years of celebrity
clientele dating back to Hollywood's golden age. Tammy
wanted to sit in this booth in particular, as it was
the booth frequented by restaurant regular Charlie
Chaplin. It turns out Charlie was making an appearance
that night, as both Tammy and danielle detected a
presence in the booth. Read about Tammy's
experiences in Musso and Franks.

Danielle!

What
do you think? Could Tammy and Danielle's visitor be
Charlie Chaplin himself, smiling for the camera? Look
closely, you'll see a "smiley face" in the
orb configuration. |
