She didn't see the ghost. The camera did, and generated an "alert" that a "person" was in the room, then sent her the image.

I know. I just didn't want to write all of that out, but now I have typed out even more in order to more further explain myself.

So: Did she really see her son's ghost on the security camera when she recieved an alert that her security camera had been triggered? Who knows, but if this brought this woman comfort then I am so happy for her. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.


Better now?

I don't know if that image was her deceased son, it seems convincing on the surface that the faded image could have been her son. Either way, it is an interesting story full of emotion.

I do believe some of us experience "the unexplained" out there at some point in our lives.

I am glad that she feels her son is still with her; I just hope her son's problems are still not with her.

I don't have much sympathy for people who choose to stick a needle in their arm.
Society is treating it like it's a disease similar to cancer or ALS....nobody's fault...just a bad turn of events.Lets give them free Narcan @ $40 a dose while people who are really sick have to struggle

I just do not like people to immediately rule out all natural possibilities and turn to the paranormal. People that do drugs very rarely tell their families about their problems. If this young man did; then he probably would still be here. There is a good chance that the security camera did take a picture; but not of a ghost. It could have been one of her son's friends looking to see if there was a stash left behind? Or it could have been a supplier that figured he would catch up with some money her son owed?

As far as the cost of drug addiction: There are contractors refurbishing an old resort close to my house. It will be a drug rehab center. The cost of staying there is someplace around $20K to $30K/month. We know that addicts and their families do not have that kind of money. I would imagine that most of that money will come from the taxpayers. Of course we can argue how much an untreated addict cost each one of us; but that is a debate for the Politics and Controversy thread.

If it were a live person in the house, why wouldn't the photo have shown a clear image of that?

I have security cameras that shoot clear pictures and I have ones that shoot cloudy pictures. There are many variables that can cause cloudy pictures. Spider webs are great at causing a cloudy picture and the small spider can trigger a notification that there is movement. Other insects and moths can also trigger those notifications and larger birds and small mammals will do the same. Moisture can affect the clarity and that camera was located around the sink. During food preparation water or food could have been splattered on the lens? We had outside proximity detectors for our driveway and we would get insects directly on the small window for the infrared detector thus giving us a false alarm. Direct bright sunlight can also affect the pictures we see.

If it helps this woman over her grief; I am glad that she still thinks her son is with her. I just worry when we overlook the usual in favor of a paranormal explanation.

If a ghost was really there do you not think it would have chosen a more direct approach to be close to it's mother or father? Or do you think that YouTube would be more important?

I totally believe in energy being present in our world that only some are lucky enough to witness.

January 19, 2012, 2:30 a.m., I was watching TV and something made me look up towards the ceiling. There, in space, between the ceiling and floor was bright, floating mass of energy. I knew immediately it was my husband. He had come to say goodbye. I felt love and warmth. I said goodbye to him and told him I loved him. Another few seconds and it was gone. He died at 2:30a.m. I know what I saw was real. No one can ever tell me I had imagined it.

I believe you. April 2017 - I got a very strong and vivid feeling of my MIL's presence. It felt like she was watching us. I thought to tell my husband to call his mother. I did not say anything because it was late. A few minutes later the phone rang. My BIL called to tell my husband that my MIL had choked to death.

A few days after my FIL died from cancer, my husband and I were in our bedroom with the door open. I heard my daughter's musical carousel playing. I went down the hall to investigate and right before I entered her bedroom the music stopped. My husband was standing just outside of our bedroom and he saw an orb of light. The light circled and then dissipated. He felt like it was his father's presence. My FIL liked to play with the carousel when he visited.

This belongs in the wacky-woo forum, the laws of physics do not permit the existence of 'ghosts'.
