Yeah, and bars too... Now, ideally, I will find a bar with a sitz bath on the roof, right next to a "soap dispenser". Everyone in my life wonders why I laugh so much at bathroom lights...

The metal one? Where I live, there is only one bar, and it is always busy, so we'll have to call ahead. How many naked people are we expecting?

~Me: I'm always "egger". That's what makes me so much fun... :D

Sorry, that's my fault... Thinking about sitz baths and rooftops...

Ask ~Me to send it to you (or I can, but I don't know your e-mail). It's really scary. Certain things should not, under any circumstance, be sewn up!

Ok... Hi Everybody! I'm a doctor! We should all get naked. :D

I'll have to try that at the bar tonight...

Or maybe it was the evil people who ran this place: this poor innocent tree was cruelly locked in a cage for being different! (Ok, I hope you can read the sarcasm dripping in my voice here)

My house is haunted, but I knew the people when they were alive, so we're cool.

The elevators at my office used to do this too: go to random floors and open up (sometimes with very surprised people still in them!) Turns out, the machine that ran them was very old, and just needed replacing. No more ghosts in the elevators!

Yeah, but it's a really convincing myth...

Warning: they use big words that I don't understand...

Yeah, actually I was thinking Barney. He's really scary! Can you imagine him with some fangs!!!

Here's a bunch more:

Then again, here is a list of info on telling the difference between a real orb and a fake one:
http://www.ghostweb.com/#Educational
See especially "Common Film Problems", "Examples of Lens Flare", and "Dust and Orbs"

If you blow the picture up (between 200 and 400 percent) you can tell for certain it isn't an orb. It looks almost like a large bowl or a sink. There even appears to be a drain in it... It could also be the cover from a light fixture (ok, soap dispenser).

I don't think we'll know for sure what this is, so I wouldn't use it as a "proof" for ghosts existing. I'd want a better picture that left no doubt that it was another object...

I see what you're seeing, but I still think it's a bag. It's not floating, it's resting on the floor beyond the doorway. If it is an orb though, whoa! You don't usually see them that big!

Jo: Ok, right inside the doorway, it looks like the door collapsed inward? Go to the top left corner of that rectangle, and it is just touching it there...

It wasn't the sitz bath itself, as the picture that went with it... I had dreams last night that the thing in that picture (I can't even think of it as genitals anymore, as it was half sewn shut!) was chasing me through a hallway of sitz baths! :D

I'd be thinking "look at the pretty purple dinosaurs coming to devour our souls"!

Actually, it was there to help, not torture. The warm water helped relax the muscles, especially for those who were less capable of movement. Although, it does disturbingly look like a sitz bath...

Yeah, it looks like nothing more than debris to me...

Surprisingly, it flowed both ways at once, which caused the person sitting on it to get soaked! Not unlike a sitz bath, really... :D

Ummm... What? Where exactly are you seeing these? I don't see anything out of the ordinary for an abandoned building... Do you mean inside the doorway, or outside it?
BTW, who do you research for? I've been working w/ IGHS since 97... Ah the glory days, back before it was "cool", and when we used science to back our theories... I miss those days. :(

Can you imagine how cold that must have been to sit on??? Ugh...

Hebridea Al: Yeah, Summer is way over rated here. Winter is cold (a few weeks back it was 30F below zero! Brrr!!!) and summer is hot, often over 100F! I would be happy if it was just "moderate" year round...

(I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm truly curious) Have they proven that it was blood? I just want to make sure it isn't a myth/legend before getting my hopes up...

You are right, however, that not all blood stains will decompose. I read that it might have to do with the type of blood it is (A or B or whatever), but there wasn't enough proof either way... Mainly I was worried about people injecting something sinister where there isn't.

Um, no... I'm not even sure where that is! I don't work around people (I see two or three a day tops), which is why I wouldn't mind a "brush-up" on social skills... :D

Motts, please-oh-please tell me how careful you are again when you're in these rooms. Can you imagine how much it would suck if that door shut when you were in there? You at least prop it open, or have someone outside, right??? That's now on my list of worst ways to die: stuck in an abandoned hospital in a seclusion room, starving to death! ~shudder~

What's so scary about "i"s? How many words would you be able to spell without the letter i? :D

Yeah, that's really creepy... Good job Motts!

Why, why didn't I listen to the voice in my head that said "This is a bad idea"? Didn't I learn my lesson from the Sitz Bath incident here: http://www.opacity.us/image2939.htm ?

I need booze, some mind bleach, anything! I have no problem with people who are overweight, but damn if your stomach touches your knees you MIGHT have a medical issue! ~shuddershuddershudder~

See how bright it is compared to the interiors of some of the other buildings? That's how good those tiles work. Motts, were the windows not boarded up?
