Yesterday when I worked the High Hand Gallery, there were two specific visitors that I had lengthy conversations with about Bodie Ghost Town and ghosts in general. There is one photo that I took that I have titled, "Bodie Spirit". When I took the photo, because you can't go inside each and every building left standing there, I put the lens right on the window glass so that there is no reflections from behind me. Well, after the film was developed, you can see a white ghost-like spirit waving right there in the middle of the scene. When I saw it, yeah, it was like "whoa"!!
One of the women I spoke with had been to Bodie several times and taken lots of photos. She told me that she has a couple of photos just like that!! She also suggested that I join the 'Friends of Bodie' and I do remember seeing that in the brochure. When you join they will notify you of events they might have coming up in the future, as I definitely want to go there again.
The second couple I met were also admiring my B&W's of Bodie, and somehow again, we got talking about ghosts, and I showed them my ghost photo. They were really into seeking out the ghost towns and even have books on them. Even their children were into it. I mentioned that I've seen historical new publications of local pioneer towns and there is one in particular that is just about 'ghost towns'. So I think I will buy one and seek some of those out. This last couple were very interesting and proceeded to tell me about their ghostly experience at the National Hotel in Nevada City, where they both awakened at the same time in the middle of the night and felt some one's presence over them!! Yikes!!
