I've always been interested in the paranormal, and lately me and my friends have been interested in amateur ghosthunting. All you really need is a camera and some flashlights.

These pictures were taken at Lake Ronkonkoma NY w/ a Fujifilm S3000 digital camera, using the flash, in late September on a chilly night with a full moon (or nearly full, at least, as I recall). I was with 3 good friends. None of us were smoking (this is important when you're taking ghost photos). Lake Ronkonkoma is supposed to be pretty haunted. There are lights across the lake which you can clearly see in the picture; the orbs were not caused by these. If you look closely, you can see lots of orbs beside the ones that show up clearly. These photos are not touched up in any way, except for the last one where the ghost area is boxed off and the brightness has been slightly enhanced to make it easier to see.

After I take a closer look at the rest of the pics taken that night, I may put up a few more. Of course, I'll update after the next Ghost Hunt, whenever that is!

If you'd like to go on your own ghost hunt, take a google search for "amateur ghost hunting" or "ghost photos" et cetera... or follow these links:
