Ghost tour participant Lisa Taylor said she believes the water pipe that burst before Christmas Eve at a downtown church may have caused more of a disturbance than just property damage.

A former Annapolis resident who was back visiting family during the holidays took a ghost pub crawl tour of Annapolis Dec. 26, and said she realized her camera had captured ghostly images among the tombstones in the churchyard of historic St. Anne’s Church on Church Circle. Lisa Taylor said her camera captured the image of this alleged ‘vortex’ — shown as a swirling vapor — that night, as well as another she said could show ectoplasm. Ms. Taylor, who grew up in Annapolis, but now resides in Delray Beach, Fla., said that on the night of Dec. 26 she captured ghostly images while the ghost pub-crawl tour group stood among the tombstones that surround St. Anne's Church, the historic landmark on Church Circle. "I believe that I have caught unexplainable things - many, many unexplained things - on camera," Lisa wrote in an e-mail. That was just three days after...

I remember when the twins slept at that cemetary before Dr. Phil rehabilitated them from a heroin addiction. Maybe another call to Dr. Phil is needed.

I was there - 2009-01-12 11:47:20
No one was smoking and it wasn't so cold that there was a lot of vapor in the air. I looked at the swirling mist photo seconds after she took it, and I can vouch for the fact that there was nothing visible to me that corresponded with what was on the camera. Whether you want to call it ectoplasm (which sounds kinda icky) or just electromagnetic field interference is up to you, but I do assure you that what's in that particular photo was NOT visible to those of us standing there.

whats worse - 2009-01-12 09:54:29
Im not sure whats worse. The person who captured these "ghostly images" on her camera, thinks they are ghosts and submits them to the Capital Gazt. for publishing. Or, the Capital Gazzette publishing a story on these pictures. Or, us commenting on the cigarette smoking poltergeist.

Fraud? - 2009-01-10 14:45:03
I looked at the Flickr link and can explain at least one image, and ask a possibly debunking question. Image 164 shows "unexplained orbs and lights". The "unexplained" lights: first, the bright lights near the ground are reflective strips on someone's black shoes (which have light/white soles); you can see the person's legs slightly spread beside the crypt. The second "light" is the head of one of the men on the tour - you cam make out his left ear and left side of his face. The "orb" is the front portion of a woman's left tennis shoe, which happens to be white. These observations are conmfirmed by image 165, where the three people referenced, and their clothing, are more clearly visible. I also asked why the people on the tour were all dressed in black and suggested that they were deliberately trying to create fake "ghosts" by allowing only their heads to be visible above their black outfits, thus allowing their out-of-focus heads to seemingly "float" ike "orbs".
