I had a chilling experience the other day while up on a roof that was icy on one side. I did not go over to that side, for safety. But there was an interesting phenomenon in play. Have any of you ever heard of spirit photos? During the days when spirit seances were taken very seriously, in the early part of the last century, spirit mediums would produce photos that would shock people by having an unexpected ghost in the photo. I always guffawed at those. But wait! Last Saturday morning I was up on this roof. I swear that only I was there. Nobody else was on premises, not even a mouse or a squirrel (who was sleeping in). When I got home, and processed my photos, my heart stood still. In those photos, plain as day, was a spirit. I was standing clear over at the other side of the roof, yet this presence emerged just slightly in the first photo and we will go from there. It was as if this spirit was emerging, like an ethereal object from the valley of the roof. Then I got another shot as it became an amorphous blob. And finally it showed it's true colors and emerged in full size. I am so glad that the ghost became present on the photos and that I did not get a startling start, and become acutely aware of its essence, while I was up there. I might have, in fear, clattered over and off the icy slope . Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith

And April 1 is still more than a month away, Steve.
Alas, but we are all but mere shadows of our former selves. When I was on a roof the other day I saw this:
Mr Charles,
If the story by the boss was not stress inducing enough, that is for certain the footprint of a big foot who was not wearing his or her shoes. Your wife was in serious peril.
Nutsy
Steve - Did you recommend in the inspection report that the buyer's call in an experienced ghost whisperer to evaluate the situation further?
When all else fails - call Nutsy to the rescue! It works. :)
You are seeing ghosts and Charlie is seeing Little Foot.
Steve, anyone can see that is Nutsy. You shouldn't be afraid. He was spiritually there to protect his boss.
It sure looks scary up on those roofs. I know see why I don't need to be touring around up there.
Hmm....It looks like that crafty spirit was taking your photo too! I wonder if he has a blog.....
This post is way too scary, the twists it has taken, and my assistant is very jittery now.
A heart stopping experience like that can leave you a ghost of your former self.
Mr James,
This is the most terrifying post the boss has ever written and Mr Charles made it oh so much more worser.
Nutsy
Howdy there Steven and Nutsy
I sure did enjoy readen this here blog post of yours. I actually do believe in Spirits and Ghosts, have actually seen real ones.
