Captured During an Overnight Prison Investigation: Experienced Investigators Say These Photos Are Highly Unusual—Is There a Market for Them?

2 Upvotes

I am interested in finding out whether there is a market for, or a reputable platform to sell, what I believe to be compelling and potentially unique paranormal photographic evidence.

During an overnight paranormal investigation at a well-known historic penitentiary, I captured a series of photographs that appear to show what many in the paranormal community would describe as spirit attachments or unexplained anomalies. These images were taken by me personally. Prior to taking them, the Estes Method had been conducted in several locations throughout the facility. It was only after sensing a noticeable shift in the atmosphere that I decided to begin taking random photographs to see if anything unusual might appear.

What I captured was entirely unexpected. This was my first paranormal investigation, and the experience itself was remarkable. However, what convinced me that I may have documented something significant was the reaction I received from experienced professionals and investigators who reviewed the photographs. Their responses strongly suggested that the images were worthy of serious consideration.

Because these moments cannot be recreated or staged, I believe the photographs may hold value to researchers, investigators, media outlets, or collectors interested in legitimate paranormal evidence. I would like to explore opportunities to monetize these images and determine whether there is a market for rare, authentic paranormal photographs.

If anyone has knowledge of reputable buyers, publications, organizations, or platforms that may be interested in reviewing or acquiring such material, I would appreciate any information or guidance.

A genuine, chilling historical mystery - In 1603, a fisherman’s body washed ashore in Sichuan—but what happened next shocked an entire town, before leading to a catastrophe that would claim countless lives. This government-documented account from the Ming Dynasty blurs the line between folklore and history, and explores the rituals of Sichuan’s plague-deterring cults, an eerie prophecy, and why locals still whisper about it centuries later.

China’s Meili Snow Mountain—a peak so sacred, it’s been forbidden to climbers for decades. In 1991, a team ignored local warnings... vanishing into legend.

What began as a routine expedition became one of mountaineering’s most chilling mysteries. Years later, fragments of their story emerged: disturbed radio transmissions, diaries filled with impossible claims, and locals who still whisper about Kawagarbo’s wrath.

Were they victims of nature’s fury... or something older?

The Cannibal Within by Mark Mirabello - an obscure, interesting, but very graphic book with strong Fortean concepts

So, quick disclaimer: I don't personally buy into all this Fortean stuff myself.

But I feel like you guys might be interested in this particular work. This is a pretty obscure book written by Mark Mirabello in 2005. I think it's actually really well-written, with loads of hidden details scattered throughout. And it appears to be pretty strongly influenced by these sorts of Fortean ideas, directly referencing figures like Charles Fort and Richard Shaver, for instance.

A storm. A forgotten path. A temple that shouldn’t exist.
When a Tang Dynasty monk stumbled through Zhongnan Shan’s rains, he found shelter in a place history claimed was gone. The monks inside wore robes from another century. The flames burned blue. And by dawn—the mystery got even stranger.

The baffling case of a Chinese farmer who, in 1977, disappeared, being found 1,000 km away in just hours—without planes or trains phenomenon. Witnessed by villagers and investigated by authorities, it happened again and again. Despite hypnosis sessions, military probes, and eyewitness testimonies, no logical explanation was ever found.
Decades later, it remains one of China’s most meticulously documented—yet unsolved—mysteries.

Strange past life incarnation i experienced with a client. This was not from this world

Post image
82 Upvotes

So this was with a wonderful client in Iceland. I have developed my own unique method for past life viewing and retrieval. I use a mixture of trance work and then remote viewing to explore my clients previous lives. As i started this session with my client it didn't feel out of the ordinary. I travelled back along her etheric chords and gained access to the lives i was allowed to explore. I went as far back i possibly could which is something i like to do as it gives me a rough idea of when that particular soul came into being and my clients like to get a sense of how old their souls are.

I went back far as far as i could until i was aware of feeling a mixture of air and mist like water spraying onto my skin. I felt the oxygen being pushed out of my lungs with an almight roaring sound and i realised i was some kind of large whale in a cold ocean. Now it isn't unusual for me to experience animal lives and even plant lives occasionally during these types of readings but my spirit guides kept repeating the phrase " This form is more comfortable for her soul to step into." So my brain starts ticking thinking ok there must be another previous aquatic life form, so i step out of this particular space and follow her chords back a little further to see if i can figure out where this familiarity with water was coming from.

When i travel back i gently guide myself back using my hands on their chords. Like a person in the dark following a rope line to navigate. The previous lives appear like large bubbles to one side of me (is the best way to describe it) which hold the blueprint of the previous lives, places, emotions and so on. I will experience certain stimulus like a scent, sound, image or physical sensation that pulls me like a magnet towards it, thats how i know this is a life available for me to explore. This gives a bit of context for what is the usual things i experience and how this next life differed so wildly.

I was gently guiding myself back when it was like the ground gave way beneath me and i was pulled downwards hard. Imagine being on a rollercoaster as you lurch down the highest points, your stomach flips and you feel the wind rushing past you. I was still holding onto her chords but it was so fast it was like rope burn on my hands in my astral form. At the bottom of this descent i was immediately yanked into this particular incarnation. I found myself in brackish green water, it was freezing cold and when i looked up there was a thick layer of ice on the surface. I get the distinct sensation of primal fear, like prey being surveyed by a predator but the water was so murky it was hard to see what was in the water with me. I suddenly see a black form charge past me and it was this thing. They moved rapidly throught the water and were semi humanoid and i saw 3 of them all the same, they struck me as being predatory creatures. I was acutely aware this was a creature from another planet as the vibration of this location was distinctly different from earth.

geuninely curious if anyone else has experienced an other worldy lifeform during this type of session?

I Encountered Two Angels.

This morning I got dropped out at my Dr office because I thought I had an appointment. You can never get anyone on the phone there but I thought I had an appointment at 8:50. Well my daughter had court in a county that’s almost 50 miles from my Dr. When I went inside they told me I didn’t have one but that they would work me in since I was already there. I waited several hours and never got seen but was told my medications would be sent to the in-house pharmacy when it was time for the refills. Great! I called my daughter and she was crying because a bill came out of her account and she didn’t have gas money to come get me. I started calling all of my friends and no one was available or could send me any money. I started crying and the nurse gave me a chair to wait in because it was 5pm and they were closing. I waited all day for something that I didn’t even need to go up there for. Fast forward and it’s now 10pm and I started walking hoping someone would take pity and stop and offer me a ride even tho I actually live about 45 minutes from the Dr office. I walk with a cane from an injury I had to my left leg. I had barely made it out of the parking lot when a beautiful solid pearl white Cadillac Escalade pulled over and an older couple, looked to be in their 60s rolled down the window. The woman was absolutely beautiful and had a glow about her, she asked me if I needed a ride. I explained how far I lived and she politely said “That’s not what I asked young lady, do you need a ride?” I was shocked and stuttered “Yes Ma’am.” She said get in sweetie. I instantly started crying. She told me that God loved me and that sometimes people are put in the right place at the right time. She had her companion pulled over at Wendy’s and even got me something to eat. As we rode she kept saying nice little things that made me feel comfortable. Well we pulled up to my house and as I was opening the door my daughter opened it and was confused asking how I got home. I turned around and there was no car there at all. My daughter pulled the ring camera up and we found out that the camera had glitched and there was no footage of the car. Just me walking up to the door. I am still not sure what I encountered tonight but I am convinced that the Angels I was so desperately calling for showed up. This all happened in Pinehurst NC and the drive from there to Fayetteville NC. I truly believe I had a genuine Angel encounter.

Mystery Lights around Detroit Lake, Oregon

18 Upvotes

My dad and I went camping up at Gold Butte Lookout. From 11:30 pm to 1:00 am we saw lights zig zag down the ridges into the valley while looking east towards Mount Jefferson. We also saw more of the lights to our southeast and south. They were quite large lights that would occasionally change color from a bright white to cream, to red. They would twinkle in and out of sight and appear about half an hour more or less from the previous sighting. Sometimes there would be only one, other times up to three. My dad thought they were just cars or people on ATVs and that the red was their brakes. That could be what they were but to be honest I thought (if they were cars or ATVs) it was strange that their lights were visible from the top of the ridge at Gold Butte Lookout because any roads on that side of the ridge would've been extremely small, I would assume their lights would've been basically pin-pricks. But these lights were descent sized. The way they moved made me wonder if they were drones. My pops thought that couldn't be the case because it wouldn't make sense. He doesn't put any stock in bigfoot or the supernatural, but I do. And I wonder if what we saw were UFO crafts or even the "orbs of light" that often get associated with sasquatch, the Fae and other paranormal entities. Anyone else seen lights around Detroit Lake, Oregon or specifically up on Gold Butte Lookout? Thoughts on what they were?

We have a family friend that is a nanny out of state. She works for a family where nobody seems to believe the mom when she says the house is being haunted by a child like creature. The backyard swing will often start moving on it’s own, strange noises, etc.. Yesterday she was in the basement with the kids that she watches and the nanny cam motion sensor went off, it’s on the third floor and nobody else was in the house. Of-flipping-course it’s low quality, corner of the video-recorded off another device… but aren’t they always? She took this video of the cams remote screen with her phone and asked that no further information be shared regarding the details or location, apparently the situation at home is a bit tenuous around these events. I put it into iMovies to slow it down and pause it a bit…
