John Savage, Calvery Cemetery Mist

When we were walking out of the cemetery, we were passing the Hahn monument near the entrance I heard a voice say, "over here," so I took this photo.

She was going through some old photo's and came across some had orbs in them. 1990

Taken at: Mirage Nightclub in Minneapolis, MN during the Electric Angels concert.

Mari thought that she had a glare from one of the stage lights but after a closer look of the photo, there were no lights that low to the stage or from where she was standing there were no bright lights between her and the drummer.

Orbs in cemetery

Taken by:  John Savage of MNPI New [1]
Date unknown (circa 1990s)

Taken at:  Union Cemetery in South St. Paul

John's notes:  When I took this photo I was very surprised because I took another photo of the same head stone from a different view and still got the same two orbs near the head stone.  Out of the two photos this was the best one.  This Cemetery is very old and well hidden from view.  Not much is known about this cemetery it was a last minute stop for us.

Orbs in Trailer

Taken by:  Gina Booth a former member of MNPI New [1]
Date unknown (circa 1990s)

Taken at:  her husband's workplace while they were moving

Gina's notes:  This was taken inside of a trailer while it was being unloaded.  Notice there are a lot of orbs.  The photo was taken with a digital camera and it was not raining at the time.

John's notes at the time:  I've never seen orbs in the back of a semi-trailer before. I can't explain why there would be any ghosts in the back of this truck.

Possible Vortex

Taken by:  Larry Adams a former member of MNPI New [1]
Date unknown (circa 1990s)

Taken at:  A friend's apartment at Turtle Island

Larry used an Olympus automatic camera with a Fuji 200-speed 35 mm film.

John's notes while taking a closer look

  • The phenomenon appears to be moving at a high rate of speed
  • The vortex remains transparent at the bottom of the photo and when it reach's the top it slows down and almost becomes a solid mass then moves and becomes transparent again
  • There are orbs in the vortex.  This could be one orb moving at a high rate of speed when this was taken or it could be that there are many orbs moving together as a group
  • The foreground can be seen through the vortex, and the vortex is between the camera and the statue
Orbs at concert

Taken by:  Mari of MNPI (Before the group was formed) New [1]
She was going through some old photo's and came across some had orbs in them. 1989

Taken at: First Ave. nightclub in Minneapolis, MN during the Black Crows concert.

This photo as about eight different orbs.  On the singer's right shoulder there is a faint orb.  If you look above the singer there are about five small, fainter orbs.  There is a nice white orb in the right hand center of the photo.

First Ave is believed to be haunted.  Staff and patrons have seen many different ghosts in the building.  One of the ghosts is that of a young girl who killed herself there before it was a night club.  She has been seen multiple times in the woman's bathroom.

Scott Nadeau, Face in Controlled Burn

This was taken at a controlled fire.  Notice the face of a woman in the flame.  A woman did die in this house from a heart attack.
