Daddy

Daddy's Ghost?
Many times our family members return to watch over us and still like to pose with us for those "Kodak moments". Below you'll see some wonderful examples of this.

Here is a scan I did of a photo my babysitter's mom let me borrow. The print was a copy of a Polaroid shot that her niece took on her 10 y/o birthday (quite a few years ago) when she received the Polaroid as a gift. She was trying to take a picture of her father, his arm seen in the background, when this picture appeared after she had taken the shot. This man is the spitting image of my babysitter's mother's father. She swears up and down that it is not a hoax, and that they had prints made of the Polaroid copy for all of the family because of the ghostly image.
I have done nothing to the scan but shrink it down to an acceptable size and sharpen up. No alterations to the lighting, etc, was done.

Hello Donna,
    Here is a group of three photos that were taken last summer while on vacation the British Channel Isles. Please note the trip was a sentimental trip I made with my sister for various reasons, much too numerous to go into. Briefly I was raised there and my paternal side of my family are all native to the islands. I have always had a strong desire to find all my roots concerning my ancestors there, which I have done.
    The ghost picture was taken in the attic room of the house in which we stayed while there. This was where my sister and I slept. This was 600 to 700 yr old house. My sister is sensitive to spirit energy and claimed there were many spirits in this particular room, so much so that she could not sleep at night. Not because she was afraid but because there was so much activity all night long it kept waking her up. I, on the other hand was very comfortable and had no problem sleeping there.
    My sister took this photo on the day we were leaving, for some unknown reason she said she felt compelled to take the photo. It is rather odd because there was no-one in the room to take a picture of, but she said when she took the picture she stood in several different positions until she felt just right. She did not have the slightest thought of anything unusual showing up on the film!
    When we developed the photos we did not even notice anything unusal until it was pointed out to me by a friend. I was showing her the pictures and she came to the one of the room and asked me where this was. I proceeded to tell her the whole story of how my sister felt there were many spirits in the room. With that my friend pointed out the image she saw over the bed on the right, the bed in which I slept! At first I did not really see it, but when I went home I thought about it and decided to run it through my scanner and see if I could enlarge it. To my amazement I could see very clearly the image. I decided to try and enhance it to see if I could make the image stand out any clearer. Again to my amazement I found that no matter what I did contrast and brightness wise the only way I could make the image over the bed disappear entirely was to bring the levels down to 100% black. As soon as I raised up the bright or contrast levels that was the first thing that came into view.
    Now, you have to understand that my father died on the island when I was nine, I have been told he is always with me and I do feel that. I am 47 now and I had brought with me the one and only photo that I have of my dad with me on the trip for some reason. All other photos of him were burned in a fire.   The image I see is the MIRROR IMAGE of the photo of my father. If you look carefully you can clearly see his face and even the lapels of his naval uniform jacket that he is wearing in the photo. There is definitely something to this that I needed to explain. What do you think? I would love to hear any feedback! Sincerely, Janine Evans

Hi Donna,
Thanks for your reply. I had sent the photos to a couple of different place some months ago and did not get a response. I thank you for answering me so quickly. Just something that I might add that may interest you! You mentioned that you got a real feeling from the picture of my dad! You may be interested to know that my father was a very strong medium, though it was something that he did not broadcast to many people. I think that he thought that people would think he was crazy. My mother told me some extraordinary experiences she had, while married to him. He did not even want her to know about this so called ability he had, fearing it would scare her. It was inevitable that she would find out, because his experiences happened so often that he had to explain. She was somewhat dumbfounded at first but not scared and soon became quite used to it.
My father was a most kind and loving soul. I may sound crazy myself now, but I do believe that he is now a guardian angel to one of my sons, who should of been dead many times over by now due to the fact that he has been in so many serious accidents and OD'd more than once and somehow has survived. He once OD'd while huffing paint when he was about sixteen and a couple of years later he came out with this amazing story that he was dead and brought back to life by someone punching him in the chest and screaming at him to "stop it" (the huffing that is!) He told me that it was his grandfather. He never even knew his grandfather seeing as how he died when I was only nine. My son did stop huffing paint but continued to this day on a roller coaster of drugs and alcohol, which have caused him to consequently wind up in some serious conditions. I realize that sooner or later his "lives" are going to run out, but I know that my dad his grandfather has rescued him from certain death many times. If it is not he then it is someone, I like to think it is him. I am pretty sure it is. Take a look into his eyes in the photo, they are almost hypnotic. Strangle beautiful! This man was a special person, not because he happened to be my dad, but because anyone that knew him would tell you the same thing. It was as if his purpose to be put here on earth was just to show kindness to others. That is what he did best! Thanks again for your speedy reply and sorry I just went off on another long winded thing. I just thought you may be interested to know a little bit about the person concerned in the photo.
Have a Happy New Year, Janine a fellow Connecticite! :-)

The photograph of your father is amazing and what you have been told about them always being close to you is true. I believe this through what a family member has been told. I wanted to tell you that you are very lucky to have your proof, therefore giving you a belief. So many people want to believe that people they have lost are close to them, but you, like myself know that they are close to us.

To Cosmic Society Webmaster:
My family had the exact same experience with our grandfather showing up in some of my sister's pictures from when she was in college. My sister went to college right out of high school in Chicago and had never been there before in her life. My grandfather died when I was 6 (I am now 21) and he was a former Chicago Firefighter. My sister had the knack of being able to give anyone directions to anywhere in the city of Chicago like she had lived there all her life.
My sister and some of her friends decided they were going to take pictures of themselves in one of the dorm rooms. This was not my sister's dorm room, mind you. My sister took a few pictures of her friend and then her friend took a few of her. When my sister got these pictures developed there was the form of my grandfather sitting behind her above her head. There was no evidence of this form on the negative and it was only on the pictures of my sister. My grandfather used to have a favorite recliner chair and he would always leave the newspaper hanging over the arm. My grandmother had made a doily for the back of the chair because he had emphysema and spent most of his time in the chair. My sister brought these pictures to my mother and my mom's jaw dropped immediately. My grandfather's image was clear as day in these photographs. My mom took them to my grandmother and she immediately started to cry. My mom said "Mom, what do you see in the pictures"? My grandmother said "Oh it's nothing". My mom said, no Mom, what do you see. My grandmother looked at my mother with tears in her eyes and said "I see Daddy". I want you to know that you need to believe that your father is with you every minute of every day watching over you. He must hold a deep love in his heart for you to watch over you and always feel comforted to know he is there. I appreciated your story more than others would. Keep the faith.
