Thanks Pam for sharing that story, very interesting as I have had a few encounters of this type myself. One of which I won't forget was when I took the evening tour of the Carnton Mansion and grounds at Franklin, Tennessee. They were having a book signing and Halloween tour that evening and we decided to go. It was a beautiful crisp October evening. We were placed into groups of people for the inside tour of the mansion. At the time I had not heard the story of "The General" who is sometimes seen walking the upstairs veranda. We were not allowed to take any pictures inside but plenty of people were takeing them outside, including myself. After touring the downstairs,( I kept being drawn to a picture hanging in the front parlor) as I would walk away... I would find myself being drawn back to look at it again. As we started upstairs I got this weird feeling like something had brushed the back of my neck. We were now going upstairs where one of the bedrooms were, that the doctors preformed surgery in, during the Battle of Franklin. There were blood stains on the walls and floors that could not remove, I was told. Hundreds of the sick and injured, were lying all over the house and when it was full, they placed them in the yard after the battle had ended on December 1, 1864.
I had a digital camera and took several pictures outside. When I returned home I loaded them into my computer and what I saw was unbelieveable. My pictures were full of all these beautiful round orb like objects, except for two pictures. One of the back porch where the "General's", were said to have been placed after the battle and one of the bon-fire where everyone gathered before the tour. I know it doesn't make sense. No dust, air clear, I kept my camera in my coat pocket, clean lens, also why were there two pictures free of the orbs. I think I know!
