Debunk Paranormal

Are you capturing mists in your pictures?

Are they spirits?

They must be paranormal as I don’t see it with my eyes.

Someone died in the home it must be them.

I was in a cemetery it was full of spirits.

These are just a few of the things I see daily in the paranormal field. Hopefully I can answer some of your questions and help you understand what causes these.

First we will look at mists captured inside a home. What can cause these? First we will look at exposures on your digital camera. A long exposure can create a mist like appearance. Why else do we see mists or are they really mists? Lets look around a home, we see lots of highly reflective surfaces from windows, mirrors, chromes, glass tables, vases. A flash off many of these can create what looks like a mist on your digital camera.

Now lets move outside what can cause these mists in my pictures? Once again there can be a few causes from atmospheric haze, yours or another’s breath, to temperature changes. When its cold out we can see our breath, but when its warmer we don’t see our breath does this mean it isn’t there? No we can still capture it with a flash.

What else can cause mists? These are perhaps the least understood by paranormal investigators but they are easily explainable and with critical thinking and COMMON SENSE we should all know it. Lets look at a cemetery, there are open areas the sun hits all day, there are trees and shrubbery that shades the ground, we have many tombstones that absorb heat all day. In the daylight its warmer in the direct sunlight and cooler under the shade of a tree, this creates an atmospheric haze anytime your temperatures vary from 3-4 degrees you may catch a mist. Lets look at this same scenario at night just the opposite takes place its cooler in the open and warmer under the canopy of trees once again ideal situations to capture mists. Lets look at high humidity, what is it? Moisture in the air once more something your flash can reflect off.

Now don’t take my word for it get out your digital thermometer and take samples of the ground, of gravestones, under trees and shrubs, you might be surprised. Now break out your Hygrometer and check for the humidity in the air.

Its only after you can rule out all of these causes then you can say I MAY have caught a paranormal mist.
