Portsmouth, NH additions

We're actively expanding our New Hampshire ghosts section. Some of these locations, such as Portsmouth's South Cemetery, have been our favorite haunts for years.

We'll be adding more Portsmouth-area information in the coming weeks. For now, you can learn more about the ghosts of the public library, South Cemetery, and Strawbery Banke at Haunted Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Return of Vale End

After years of trying to discourage people from visiting Vale End Cemetery in Wilton, NH, I've decided that I may as well tell my story. So, Hollow Hill has published four new webpages about the only time I've been frightened on a ghost hunt:

The Blue Lady | More ghosts at Vale End
Possible demons at Vale End (part one of two)
Fear at Vale End Cemetery (part two of two)

New photos - Austin (TX) and The Myrtles

We're not sure what's in this photo, but it's one of those pictures that feels haunted when we look at it: Texas Governor's Mansion - ghost picture?

Also, it was hectic here at the end of this past week, as we prepared for our Austin research trip. But, before leaving for the state capital, we added these pages for beginning ghost hunters:

Ghost hunting tips - Where the orbs are - The things that we look for when we're ghost hunting, to choose where to take photos.

More ghost orb photo tips - A short article to keep your expectations real when taking ghost pictures. We've included a photo at The Myrtles Plantation that has no anomalies (but should have had dozens of humidity-related orbs) plus one indoor photo that includes an orb... and a ghost story to go with it.

Psychic preparations and tools for ghost hunting

We've received many questions about psychic sensitivity and divinatory tools for ghost hunters. In the past, we've avoided the latter topic because it can be repugnant to some people, especially in the context of their religious beliefs and practices.

However, many people don't feel that way, and others feel that divinatory tools can be gifts from Deity.

So, we've written several articles about psychic preparations and tools for ghost investigations.


Basic Tools Every Ghost Hunter Must Have

Psychic Preparations for a Ghost Hunt

Ouija Boards and Ghost Hunting

Using Tarot cards to contact ghosts


But, we'll admit that the cards that Fiona pulled at random for that last article... Well, that was a bit eerie to say the least. They're the most perfect possible cards for our example.

Ghosts and webcams

We've created a page listing the most popular ghostcams, at Ghosts Cams in Haunted Places. (The page title is plural because that's what most people seem to be searching for: 'ghosts cams' instead of 'ghostcams'.)

Columbus, Texas ghost photos

This past weekend, we discovered a haunted cemetery in a charming town between Houston and Austin, Texas. It's Columbus, Texas, and we recommend it for ghost enthusiasts and history buffs.

• Ghost Orbs - Columbus, Texas - One of our first photos shows a vivid orb at Columbus City Cemetery, shortly after sunrise.
  
• Daytime Orb - Columbus, Texas cemetery - Few sites are haunted enough to produce orbs in broad daylight. This unretouched photo impressed us.
  
• Ectoplasm in Haunted Cemetery - Is it from the 500+ unmarked graves, a victim of King Tut's curse, or some other source?
